The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

He had done what should be done. They would bear the consequences of their own actions.

The village chief felt that he had done his very best.

On this day, Zhao Chuchu mainly treated those who did not need surgery and left the surgery for tomorrow.

She also needed to prepare a relatively clean room as a temporary operating room. The sterility requirements were difficult to meet, so she had to do the best she could.

Zhao Chuchu refused help from the village chief and others. Only Xie Heng stayed there with her.

By the time they were done, it was dark.

The villagers of Heyang Village prepared the dinner.

Zhao Chuchu quickly finished dinner, took a shower, and was ready to sleep.

She had to perform surgery on the villagers tomorrow, so she had to rest well.

Zhao Chuchu fell into bed and went to sleep.

Xie Heng, however, did not.

He knew the events in Qiaoyi Town would soon be known to the government.

The villagers of Heyang Village in the previous life did not end up well, so he also had to prevent that Doctor Jiang from sowing discord and making the officials and soldiers come to Heyang Village in the middle of the night to make a mess.

Yuyun County’s magistrate was incompetent and a muddlehead. He was not a good official who would cater to the people’s interests.

Late at night, Xie Heng, who had closed his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes abruptly.

He glanced toward Zhao Chuchu’s room and quietly left his room, and went to the village entrance.

The masked man in black with a short figure revealed only a pair of sharp eyes. He was waiting there. When he saw Xie Heng coming, he cupped his hand and saluted, “Master, the mission has been completed.”

“Where did you do it?”

“Jianan Province.”

“Has the Imperial City known about it?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Keep watching.”

“Yes.”

The man flashed away and disappeared into the night.

Sikou Qin died in Jianan Province.

Jianan Province was the home of the Great Prince’s mother.

The death of Sikou Qin ultimately ended the association between Sikou Zhendong and the Great Prince.

As for how they would fight, that was their business.

He would occasionally add fuel to the fire, making things worse between them.

In his previous life, Sikou Zhendong and the Great Prince were no match for him, let alone in this life!

Xie Heng stood at the village entrance for a while longer before returning.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Xie Heng felt something was wrong, but the next moment he knew someone else was in the room. He knew it was Zhao Chuchu.

He was so familiar with her scent that even if he didn’t see her, he was sure it was Zhao Chuchu.

Xie Heng pretended not to notice and went inside.

Zhao Chuchu suddenly jumped out and attacked him, but Xie Heng dodged her attack and fought with her in the room.

But Xie Heng lost.

It wasn’t that he let Zhao Chuchu win on purpose, but because he couldn’t beat Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu let go of him and lowered her voice. “What did you do in the middle of the night?”

Xie Heng also did not want to hide anything from Zhao Chuchu, so he whispered in her ear, “Sikou Qin died in Jianan Province, where the Great Prince’s grandfather’s family is located.”

Zhao Chuchu froze for a moment, then laughed lightly. “Da Lang, that’s really evil of you.”

It didn’t occur to her that he had even prepared where Sikou Qin would be killed in advance.

Neither the Great Prince nor his grandfather’s family could escape it.

“You’re not afraid?” Xie Heng asked.

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. “Why should I be afraid? I’m not the one you are trying to mess up. Moreover, since you have done so, I believe you arranged everything long ago and will not get me involved.”

Xie Heng gave Zhao Chuchu a deep look and couldn’t help but touch her head. “Chuchu, do you really trust me? Aren’t you afraid that one day I will betray you?”

Zhao Chuchu said, “You can’t beat me. I will kill you in person if you betray me one day.”

“Although I hope you can trust me wholeheartedly, Chuchu, I still hope you don’t fully trust me. If one day I do something wrong to you, at least you have a way back, silly girl.”

Xie Heng couldn’t help but say this to Zhao Chuchu.

Although Zhao Chuchu was very determined to deal with certain things, she was sometimes overly simple and was not calculative.

She was the kind of person who was straightforward and didn’t like to beat around the bush. Even though he knew she was just too lazy to be calculative, Xie Heng still wished that Zhao Chuchu would keep an eye out.

“I believe you are like an old man, always worrying about nothing. The people I can trust are naturally those I think I can trust. Da Lang, I have never been wrong in distinguishing people. Even though I can’t see through you, I know you’re not a man to do such a thing.”

Xie Heng admitted that Zhao Chuchu had pleased him by saying this, which put him in a perfect mood.

“I will not take your confidence in me for granted.” His eyes burned, locking onto Zhao Chuchu. “Well, it’s late now. You should go back and rest. If there’s anything else on my side, you don’t have to worry about it. I can handle it.”

...

“Well, I just saw you go out in the middle of the night and thought you would do something.”

“You didn’t follow me?”

“No. After all, I said I trusted you, so I waited for you to come back and tell me what happened.”

“As long as it’s something you want to know, just ask me. I’ll tell you.”

Xie Heng promised.

Then he urged Zhao Chuchu to go to bed even if he couldn’t let go.

Zhao Chuchu went back to her room and lay down.

In fact, when Xie Heng got off the floor and walked to the door, she already knew about it from next door.

Initially, she wanted to follow him secretly, but after two steps, Zhao Chuchu finally came back and waited for him in Xie Heng’s room.

However, Sikou Qin’s death was a surprise to Zhao Chuchu.

She thought Xie Heng would let Sikou Qin live to arrive at the Imperial City.

...

Jianan Province was an excellent choice of location!

Fortunately, she was not Xie Heng’s enemy. Otherwise, she would have been killed by Xie Heng when she was reborn.

Zhao Chuchu thought about these things and fell asleep in a daze.

Soon it was the next day.

When Zhao Chuchu woke up, Xie Heng was already cooking breakfast.

Because Zhao Chuchu had to operate on the patients today, Xie Heng did not let someone else do it and made Zhao Chuchu her favorite food himself.

After Zhao Chuchu ate breakfast, he asked the villagers willing to do the surgery yesterday to come over.

Zhao Chuchu disinfected the temporary operating room thoroughly before calling the village chief’s son to come in.

He was terrified. His whole body was tense, and he couldn’t stop shaking and trembling.

“Don’t be afraid. Just close your eyes, and you’ll be fine.” Zhao Chuchu told him to lie down, and she asked Xie Heng to guard the door so that no one would break in.

The village chief’s son swallowed. His voice was dry. “I’m not afraid. Anyway, I’m already dying. If I’m lucky, I could survive this. If I’m not, I’d readily accept it. This is my destiny. I won’t blame you.”

“Hey, don’t be so negative! I have already done this in town. I’m very skilled. Don’t be afraid. I won’t kill you,” Zhao Chuchu said. Soon the anesthesia took effect, and he lost consciousness.

Just as Zhao Chuchu began the operation, she heard a commotion outside.

Doctor Jiang came to Heyang Village with a bunch of officials. Because someone in the village tipped them off, they quickly found where Zhao Chuchu was.

Doctor Jiang shouted, “Sir, that devil of a woman is here to cut people’s stomachs open, you should arrest her before she kills more people and the whole of Yuyun County is pregnant with ghosts!”
