Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, “Of course, I thought about it. That’s why I did the experiment to test whether it’s possible to see if two people are related by simply putting their blood together, and I did it in front of so many people. As long as a portion of the people believed me, Zhao Changrong’s life wouldn’t be so difficult.”
Worst case scenario, there was still the Chen clan.
In the olden days, people really cared about blood relationships. Chen Dashan’s blood had been injected into Zhao Changrong’s veins. So naturally, Chen Dashan would see Zhao Changrong differently.
He wouldn’t let Zhao Baogen continue abusing Zhao Changrong.
To be honest, Zhao Baogen didn’t deserve a son like Zhao Changrong.
This was why Zhao Chuchu chose Chen Dashan’s blood for the blood transfusion.
Xie Heng kissed Zhao Chuchu’s forehead and said, ‘Even if they try to stir up trouble, I’ll settle it for you.”
“I trust you.” Zhao Chuchu kissed Xie Heng as well.
Xie Heng felt as if there was a flower blooming in his heart.
“But I’m afraid Madam Ma won’t be able to get anything out of them.”
“That’s her problem. I’ve done my part in saving the boy. The rest has nothing to do with me.”
She wouldn’t change her view of Madam Ma just because she saved Zhao Changrong.
She hadn’t forgotten all of the things that Madam Ma had done to the original owner of this body.
She would be letting down the original owner if she forgot about those things.

That was because Madam Ma wasn’t Zhao Changrong!
In fact, Madam Ma had considered dying alongside Madam Yang somehow.
That way, they would surely be able to pay for Zhao Changrong’s treatment.
Madam Ma’s head had been occupied by anger and resentment at that point.
Everything that happened today made her heart more vicious and cold.
As long as Zhao Changrong was alive, she didn’t care if everyone else died!
Madam Ma walked toward the Zhao Clan in big strides.
Madam Yang was pointing at Old Man Zhao and screaming, ‘You useless idiot! How can you accuse me of cheating on you in front of so many people? You ungrateful dog! Old heartless piece of trash…”
Old Man Zhao squatted under the eaves, hung his head low, and didn’t dare to say anything. He no longer had the confidence and vigor that he had just now when accusing Madam Yang.
The more he stayed silent, the angrier Madam Yang got.
Zhao Baotian and Madam Liu hid in their room because of the Zhao Changrong incident. They let Madam Yang beat and scold Old Man Zhao as they didn’t dare to come out and intervene.
Madam Liu said softly, “What’s wrong with Zhao Chuchu? I thought she said she wouldn’t save anyone from the Zhao clan. Why did she save Changrong? If Changrong died, your brother would have no descendants, and the Zhao Clan would be ours!”
“Who knows what that Zhao Chuchu was thinking? It’s all that little bitch’s fault for ruining our plan. I should have let her live back then, and she would have died together with my brother and sister-in-law!” Zhao Baotian said through gritted teeth. “It’s your fault. You were the one who insisted on letting Zhao Chuchu live to exchange her for betrothal gifts. I would have gotten rid of her a long time ago.”
“I had no idea that your mother would just trade her away for a few taels of silver!” Madam Liu got a little upset by Zhao Baotian’s accusation.
“Enough. Lower your voice. If she hears us, she will come looking for trouble again!”
“Isn’t she always looking for trouble? It’s all because you listen to your mother for everything. If you just go against her a few times, your mother might just listen to you! Look at all the crap that is happening right now. Zhao Chuchu is basically a money tree now, yet it has nothing to do with us. Your mother is so shortsighted.”
“Say that one more time.” Zhao Baotian looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
Madam Liu smiled apologetically and said, “Can’t you just let me complain for a bit? Think about how much money the watermill workshop makes! Yet none of it belongs to us now.”
She felt a pain in her heart just thinking about it.
Zhao Baotian snorted coldly and said, “We can’t rush this stuff. We need to do things slowly. Isn’t this the best opportunity?”
“What opportunity?” Madam Liu was a little confused.
“What if both Changrong and Chen Dashan died?”
“What?”
“Zhao Chuchu would become responsible for it. Once she becomes implicated in a murder case, no one would be able to defend her.”
Zhao Baotian’s expression was eerily dark when he said that.
In his eyes, two lives amounted to almost nothing.
Just like how he poisoned his brother and sister-in-law back then.
It was just because they didn’t have any sons. They only had a daughter. So as long as the eldest son of the Zhao clan was gone, all they needed to do was come up with a way to deal with the second son’s family or split the clan and try to get everything.
No one could imagine that Zhao Baotian could come up with such vicious schemes despite looking so cowardly.
No one could have imagined that he poisoned Zhao Chuchu’s parents.
Yet, it was quite logical. How did the two of them die one after another with such perfect timing?
Unfortunately, there were no doctors in Lengshui Village at that time. Zhao Baotian appeared really close to his brother back then. When Zhao Chuchu’s father died, he cried so hard that he fainted. No one suspected that someone actually murdered Old Man Zhao’s eldest son!
And now, the second son of the clan has delivered the perfect opportunity for them. On top of that, the clan was living a better life than before. All these things fueled Zhao Baotian’s desire to take everything for himself.

Zhao Baotian sneered and said, “Don’t worry, Changrong will return sooner or later. We can do it when he comes back. As for Chen Dashan, it’s even simpler.
All we need to do is…”
Zhao Baotian made a gesture as if he were drugging a bowl of food as he stopped talking.
But Madam Liu was still worried. “But what if Zhao Chuchu intervenes again?
“Then we increase the dosage. Zhao Chuchu can’t stay in the village forever. When she leaves, we’ll make a move. Zhao Chuchu is the only one who has ever done anything to Chen Dashan. So no one would know when or how he died, isn’t it?”
“Hubby, you’re the smartest! As long as Zhao Chuchu gets implicated in a death case, we would have ways to get the watermill workshop. Then, money would flow endlessly into our pockets. We won’t have to worry about food or clothing ever again!”
Madam Liu thought about the wealth and luxury that she could enjoy in the future and got more excited.
Just as the people in the Zhao clan schemed and thought about different things, Madam Ma arrived with her butcher’s knife.
She kicked open the door, raised the knife, and shouted at Madam Yang, standing in the courtyard, “Give me 50 taels of silver right now, or I’ll kill every last one of you.”
“Madam Ma, what are you trying to do? Murder? I dare you to attack us in broad daylight!” Madam Yang yelled. She appeared brave, yet she was terrified inside. She started stepping backward as she said, “I’m warning you; don’t do anything stupid. Otherwise, I won’t hold back.”
“Changrong is already in this state. There’s nothing I’m scared of. My life is ruined anyway, and I don’t mind fighting all of you to death! Take out the money right now. That’s the fee for the treatment. All of you are responsible for making him like this now!”
“You want money? Dream on! You don’t belong to the Zhao clan anymore. I’ll report you to the government for attempted robbery!’
‘Go ahead. Do you think I’m afraid of you? I’ll tell the magistrate that your son tried to kill my son!”
“Nonsense! He fell down himself. It has nothing to do with Baotian!”
Madam Ma knew that Madam Yang wouldn’t be willing to take out the money.
She came prepared.
“Okay, then, let’s die together!”
A ferocious expression appeared on Madam Ma’s face as she started charging toward Madam Yang.
Madam Yang started screaming subconsciously, “Help! She’s trying to kill me!”
