The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife

Chapter 119 - 119 She Treated Her Like Nothing



119 She Treated Her Like Nothing

If this girl were five or six years younger, she would look almost the same as the original owner.

Could she be a relative of the original owner?

The girl looked at Zhao Chuchu in astonishment as well.

“Girl, this isn’t a small issue. If anything happens to Madam, no one can bear the responsibility, right? Since there is no doctor in Yuanjiang County that can treat her, we should return to Fu City as soon as possible, and we might still be able to keep Madam alive!” said the plump woman coldly as she stepped forward.

Her tone wasn’t exactly respectful. She pretty much treated the girl like nothing.

The girl’s expression turned dark. She said, “Mammy, what do you mean by that? Didn’t you hear the doctor? There’s nothing he can do. If we return to Fu City now, do you think we can make it in time? Mother is already in such bad condition. If we don’t do anything, she will die for sure. I would rather seize our last bit of hope than watch her die on the way back!”

“Girl, you’re being unfilial!” Mammy said fiercely. “Do you know how sinful being unfilial is for you? Before we came out, Old Madam said that if anything happens during the journey, I will be in charge.”

“Didn’t we come to Yuanjiang County to search for that Mrs. Xie?”

“That’s just a rumor. However, now that something like this has happened to Madam, we must return to Fu City immediately. Dying in a foreign place is very inauspicious!”

Zhao Chuchu retracted her gaze.

It would be strange if she couldn’t tell what was going on by now.

There was definitely something wrong with this mammy.

She was clearly restricting this young girl!

This mammy was acting superior to her employer.

What kind of servant is this?

After saying that, the mammy didn’t even wait for the girl to say anything. She immediately ordered the others to pack up their things and embark on a journey back to Fu City.

The girl was so anxious that she was about to cry. She said, “Mammy, Mother is already in such bad condition. Do you think it can get any worse than this?”

“You’re still young. There are a lot of things that you don’t understand. You will thank me in the future!” the mammy said arrogantly.

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but clap as she said, “You’re disobeying and offending your owner as a servant. This is eye-opening. This girl is young indeed, but she’s not an idiot. What do you want her to thank you for? Thank you for forcing her to watch as her mother dies?”

The moment Zhao Chuchu said that, the mammy’s expression changed. She yelled, “You little bitch, there is no place for you to speak here. So shut up, or don’t blame me for taking action!”

Zhao Chuchu’s lips curled up. She looked toward the young girl and said, “Girl, is your surname Xia? Do you know someone named Xia Chenglan?”

The girl’s eyes widened. Then, she asked, “Who? Xia Chenglan? You know her? Where is she now?”

“Hah, that slutty filth who ran away with someone else is still alive?” the mammy said mockingly. “No wonder. Are you the daughter of that slut?”

[Slap!]

Zhao Chuchu slapped her face, dislodging several teeth from her arrogant and filthy mouth.

The mammy was stunned.

Zhao Chuchu grabbed her by her collar and tossed her onto the ground.

“Ahh…”

The mammy shrieked in pain.

Zhao Chuchu stepped on her chest. After applying just a bit of force, she could hear the sound of the mammy’s ribs breaking.

“Old hag, who gave you the right to scold my mother? You disgusting scum!” Zhao Chuchu glared at the mammy with cold, vicious eyes. Then, she said, “Since your mouth is so filthy, you shall not talk anymore in the future!”

After saying that, Zhao Chuchu dislocated her jaw with a loud crack.

The mammy covered her mouth, and blood from her broken teeth seeped from the gaps between her fingers.

Zhao Chuchu looked toward the young girl and asked, “Do you know my mother?”

“You are my aunt’s daughter?” the girl asked with her voice trembling. She was stunned by Zhao Chuchu’s ruthlessness.

“Yeah, if Xia Chenglan is your aunt, we’re cousins.” Then, Zhao Chuchu asked, “What happened here?”

“We came to Yuanjiang City to look for Aunt. But right before we reached the county, the horse was startled. In order to save me, Mother was thrown from the carriage. Now she’s in critical condition. I…” As she spoke, tears started flowing out of her eyes.

“We brought Mother to Doctor Lu, but Doctor Lu said that there was nothing he could do. So Mammy said she wanted to go back. She said she couldn’t let Mother die out here. I’m useless. I can’t save Mother… My name is Kang Xiuwan. What’s your name?”

“Zhao Chuchu.”

When Zhao Chuchu entered the room, she saw the woman lying on the bed, barely breathing.

The woman had blood all over her body. Zhao Chuchu wondered how many injuries she had had.

However…

“Are you sure that your mother only fell from a carriage?”

Kang Xiuwan’s expression changed.

“I am a doctor. The Mrs. Xie that you were searching for is me.”

Zhao Chuchu decided to tell her straight up.

“Cousin, you’re already married?” Kang Xiuwan exclaimed in disbelief. “You look like you’re only 12 or 13!”

“I’m 14, and you haven’t answered me.”

“Yes, after the horse was startled, we ran into a group of bandits, and Mother was stabbed a few times.”

“Bandits? What did they take from you?”

“Nothing. After stabbing Mother, they said that someone was coming and ran away.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

This was obviously a setup. Bandits?

This cousin of hers was too innocent to the point of being a little dumb.

No wonder the mammy could dominate her!

“Go out first and watch your mammy. Don’t let her run. I will save your mother,” Zhao Chuchu turned her head and said to Kang Xiuwan. “I don’t like people to disturb me while I’m treating my patients. If you don’t want your mother to pass away, follow my instructions.”

“Oh, okay.” Kang Xiuwan was at a loss for what to do at that point. She subconsciously relied on her cousin, whom she was meeting for the first time.

Zhao Chuchu grabbed Doctor Lu’s medical box, closed the door, and removed the woman’s clothes.

The skin and flesh of her wounds were curling outwards. It looked terrifying.

These people were quite perverted. Instead of killing her, they wanted her to suffer and die in terrible pain.

Xie Chenglan never told the original owner about her maternal family. In the original owner’s family, her maternal family didn’t exist.

If Kang Xiuwan didn’t resemble the original owner so much, Zhao Chuchu wouldn’t have asked them whether they knew Xia Chenglan.

Zhao Chuchu treated the woman’s wounds as quickly as she could—stitching and applying ointments wherever appropriate. Finally, after half an hour, she managed to bring the woman back from the verge of death.

Xie Heng arrived at some point during the treatment. When he saw Zhao Chuchu come out, he immediately walked forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat for her. “Are you hungry? I cooked your favorite sesame peanut glutinous rice balls in Doctor Lu’s kitchen. Would you like some? I’ll scoop some for you.”

“Okay, thank you,” Zhao Chuchu smiled.

Every time she had to treat severe external injuries for people, she felt like eating when she was done.

Xie Heng remembered it and even borrowed someone else’s kitchen to cook for her.

Zhao Chuchu felt warm and fuzzy being cared for by someone else.

Xie Heng passed the handkerchief to Zhao Chuchu, then turned and walked into the kitchen to get the glutinous rice balls for Zhao Chuchu.

The moment Zhao Chuchu came out, Kang Xiuwan dashed into the room to check on her mother. Perhaps it was because her mother was still unconscious; she came out of the room frantically and asked, “Chuchu, how’s my mother?”
