The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

Challenged by Zhao Chuchu, the yard guards quickly moved forward.

Zhao Chuchu looked at them with disgust in her eyes. “Aren’t you guys even embarrassed by how weak you all are?”

As she finished her sentence, she kicked and sent all the guards flying back.

The yard guards were taken down in almost an instant.

Zhao Chuchu then turned to look at Kang Liang and grinned. “Mr. Kang, are you going to try and stop me again? You’re the one who invited me, so stop with these childish acts. If you haven’t heard, I’m really not that good at anything other than saving and killing people. Do you want to try it out?”

“You dare?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? You were the one who tried to attack me first. So if you die, they’ll just rule it as self-defense.”

“You! Zhao Chuchu, your arrogance will bite you back one day! Let’s see how long you can keep this up! If you dare to take Xia Chengxuan and Kang Xiuwan out, I’ll make you regret it!”

“You can try.” Zhao Chuchu scoffed and left with Kang Xiuwan.

Kang Liang’s expression was as dark as it could get. He stared at the backs of the two ladies with killing intent.

He then remembered that his esteemed guest was still inside the front hall, and a chill ran down his spine.

It was impossible for him to get Zhao Chuchu to meet the guest now. So he had no choice but to steel his heart before returning to the front hall.

The guest inside the front hall was a young man who was just a little older than the Third Prince. He was well-dressed and had a handsome face, but his eyes reflected his personality, which was deceiving, and it was hard to stare into his eyes comfortably.

“Looks like you aren’t in full control of the Kang clan. Look at how two ladies managed to push you into a corner. What an embarrassment.” The man did not hide his sarcasm. “Mr. Kang, tell me, how do you expect me to trust you with my matters?”

Cold sweat filled Kang Liang’s forehead when he heard that. “That traitorous daughter of mine hates me and is acting all high and mighty because Zhao Chuchu is with her. You still need Zhao Chuchu to treat you. That’s why I didn’t do anything to her. We wouldn’t want her to refuse to treat you.”

“Oh? Are you sure that’s the case?”

“Yes!”

“Well, whatever. If you can’t handle this, then don’t even think of working for me again! Did they head toward the backyard? I’ll go and meet her personally.”

“Yes.”

Kang Liang then quickly guided his guest to the backyard.

By then, Zhao Chuchu and Kang Xiuwan had already located where Xia Chengxuan was.

Two muscular female guards were posted outside the room that Xia Chengxuan was locked in.

“This is not a place you can enter, Third Young Mistress. Please go back, or else we’ll have to resort to violence,” one of the guards said as she reached out to stop Kang Xiuwan. They even tried to push her back.

Zhao Chuchu quickly pulled Kang Xiuwan behind her and stood in front of the two female guards.

They then tried to push Zhao Chuchu, but she didn’t move.

They again, and she remained standing where she was.

Zhao Chuchu chuckled. “Did you two have your lunch yet? How can you be so weak not to have the strength to push a weak girl like me?”

She then reached her arm out and pushed both of them, sending them stumbling back, and they had to struggle not to fall.

They looked at Zhao Chuchu with fear in their eyes.

Zhao Chuchu then supported Kang Xiuwan as they moved toward the door. “Be good dogs and stay there unless you want to have a taste of my fist.”

With that warning, the two guards immediately stopped moving. They could only watch as Zhao Chuchu and Kang Xiuwan entered the room.

“H-hurry up and inform Mr. Kang!” one of the guards quickly said. “I’ll stay here and make sure they don’t leave.”

“All right! I’ll be right back!” The other one quickly left.

Zhao Chuchu heard that but paid no attention to it.

In the room, Xia Chengxuan was tied up and left to lie on the floor. Her mouth was stuffed with a white cloth.

When she saw Zhao Chuchu and her daughter coming in, she tried to shout something as she struggled.

“Mom!” Kang Xiuwan was terrified. “What happened?”

“Stay here. I’ll free her.” Zhao Chuchu stopped Kang Xiuwan from moving forward and quickly removed the white cloth from Xia Chengxuan’s mouth before untying the woman. After helping her up, she asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“My whole body is numb. I can’t muster any strength…” Xia Chengxuan had a sense of relief the moment she saw Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu then helped Xia Chengxuan to a chair and massaged the woman’s legs.

“How did you two find me? I went to get the medicine for Wanwan, but the moment I left Liu Village, someone attacked me from behind. It wasn’t until I arrived here that I found out it was Kang Liang’s idea! That bastard! How blind was I to marry such a man?”

“Chuchu went out to find you since you had been out for a long time. She quickly guessed that our clan had done something and immediately came back here with me. Did he do anything to you?”

“They just left me here after kidnapping me. They didn’t do anything other than that. I’m really sorry, Chuchu. I keep dragging you into this mess because I’m too weak to do anything….”
