Kang Xiuwan lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhao Chuchu noticed it and took out the pouch containing the silver needles she always carried. “Let’s think about those later. Let’s get you some treatment first to ease the discomfort. Please remove your top.”
It took Kang Xiuwan a lot of effort to lower her dress down to her waist. Zhao Chuchu’s acupuncture was fast and precise. It didn’t take long for her to insert the needles into the acupoint.
“Chuchu, I’ve been thinking, what can I do if I return to the city?” Kang Xiuwan asked in a depressed tone. “I never had to worry about anything with the Kang clan. Now I’ve realized I don’t know anything. Even if I return, I don’t have anything. That person will never care for us. He would even find a way to torture us. I feel like we’re at a dead end. We can only stay in Liu Village. Only now I know how important it is to be at least good at something.”

“I can’t cause you any more trouble. You’ve already helped me so much, and I can’t even repay your kindness. Even if we are sisters, I can’t do that to you. Xia clan is in the wrong too, and I’m still part of it.”
“If you keep saying things like that, I’ll leave.”
“Chuchu, that’s not what I mean. I just don’t want to rely on you all the time.” Kang Xiuwan paused before letting out a sigh. “Although I don’t see him as my father, I still understand him. He has always resorted to despicable methods to solve his problem. Mr. Xie has to take part in the Provincial Examination next year. It’s better if you don’t involve yourself with the Kang clan. I don’t want to ruin Mr. Xie’s chance.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled and didn’t say anything.
The Kang clan wasn’t as big as the Xia clan, so she was never worried to begin with. The Kang clan also offended many people by trying to take over the Xia clan. The plan was eventually foiled. The Third Prince benefited from it in the end. There was nothing left for the Kang clan.
If the Kang clan tried to stir up something again, they could become the Third Prince’s next target.
“Chuchu, I’ve always had a question to ask you,” Kang Xiuwan said after a short silence. “Have you ever hated the Xia clan?”
As the original owner never learned about who she actually was, Zhao Chuchu could not tell what her reaction to it would be.
In the end, Zhao Chuchu told Kang Xiuwan how she personally felt instead. “Not at all. I’d only hate them if I actually cared about them. They are strangers to me. My feeling for them is more like seeing poop on the road. It’s just something annoying to see.”
“My mother…”
“The real culprits are the people who pushed your mother into that situation. Your mother was still young. What could she do? When the whole world is evil, those who don’t follow suit are the kind people.”
Zhao Chuchu had heard from Xie Heng that Xia Chengxuan had never done anything bad to the original owner’s mother.
That was why Zhao Chuchu did not have any ill feelings toward Xia Chengxuan. The woman was just used and not the type of person who would trample over other people.

Despite how good Zhao Chuchu’s life was, it didn’t cover up the fact that she lived a tragic life in the past. The Xia clan owed Zhao Chuchu a lot for that.
“How did the Kang clan even have such a kind girl like you? It’s really hard for you to keep such a pure heart despite growing up in such an environment. Wanwan, you can be kind, but don’t be too kind. There’s a fine line between the two. Don’t ever let anyone step over that line. Otherwise, you’ll be devoured by them.”
“I know. I will never forget,” Kang Xiuwan replied.
In the end, Kang Xiuwan did not accept Zhao Chuchu’s proposal to return to the city.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t continue to persuade her.
After the acupuncture sessions, Kang Xiuwan was already feeling better.
Zhao Chuchu helped Kang Xiuwan put her dress back on before leaving to find Mammy Liu to prepare a meal.
Mammy Liu went to work right away without a single grunt. All her arrogance before was nowhere to be seen.
However, even an hour after the meal, Xia Chengxuan had yet to return..
