Lu Ming suppressed his anger and knocked on the door. “Ma’am, I’m the butler of the Xia clan. We are here to find Ms. Chuchu. It’s in your best interest to open the door, or I’ll report you to the government for scamming.”

“Then go and get her! Why are you even at my place? There’s no Zhao Chuchu here!” Madam Yang yelled from inside. “I don’t care if you’re from that Xia clan.

You want to report me to the government? Be my guess!”

Madam Yang knew that they were looking for Zhao Chuchu, and she also understood that nothing would happen to her as long as she didn’t try to offend the lady.

After so much had happened between them in the past, even if Madam Yang wasn’t that smart, she could tell that Zhao Chuchu was very competent.

Anyone who tried to mess with the lady would only end up hurting themselves.

Madam Yang didn’t want to invite trouble.

“You!’ Lu Ming couldn’t even find the words to argue back.

He had looked into Madam Yang beforehand and knew that she was the head of the family and was someone who liked to take advantage of others.

Ever since Zhao Chuchu severed her ties with the Zhao clan, Madam Yang had tried more than once to bring the lady back, but she had refused every time.

Lu Ming thought that Madam Yang would help him if he agreed to convince Zhao Chuchu.

Yet he was chased out of the house before proposing the idea.

“Uncle Ming! Did that old hag just chase us out?” Xia Chenglan stood by the side with her arms crossed. She was dressed elegantly, but the way she dressed seemed out of place.

It was as if she tried to hang as many accessories as possible on a tree.

Although Xia Chenglan was only in her early thirties, she looked like she was in her forties.

Perhaps her life after eloping wasn’t good.

No one ever understood why she forfeited her life as the young lady of a prestigious family and eloped instead.

However, there wasn’t a single normal person in the Xia clan either. So Zhao Chuchu wasn’t surprised that Xia Chenglan did that.

She had been following the people from the Xia clan as soon as they entered the village.

Zhao Chuchu did not show herself and hid instead.

She now had her eyes on Xia Chenglan.

Zhao Chuchu had never met the original owner’s mother, but from the little memory the original owner had left, she realized that Xia Chenglan actually did look a little like the mother.

If Xia Chenglan had lost a little weight and looked a little younger, it wouldn’t be hard for her to pretend to be the original owner’s mother.

Unfortunately for Xia Chenglan, she was now overweight and looked like a person who was easily annoyed.

“I’ll go try to convince her.”

“What for? Just tear the door down. Let’s see if she will treat us like that again!” Xia Chenglan arrogantly said. “They’re just some peasants! What’s there to worry about?”

“We’re not here to make enemies,” Lu Ming emphasized.

The Xia clan needed Zhao Chuchu, or Doctor Miracle, to side with them. That was the only way to prevent the other clans from targeting them, and they could gain the most benefit from Zhao Chuchu that way as well.

Although Lu Ming was furious at Madam Yang’s disrespect, he still needed to put on a poker face to gain her cooperation.

How Madam Yang treated them now was unimportant, and he could always get back at her for that in the future.

There was no need for him to hurry.

“Zhao Chuchu is one of us. She has to come back with us when we ask her. That’s her responsibility. Her mother had used my name to scam other people, so, in a sense, she’s my daughter too. As her mother, I can do whatever I want with her. These peasants can’t do anything about it.” Xia Chenglan scoffed. It was clear that she thought of herself as someone who had control over Zhao

Chuchu.

That made Zhao Chuchu completely speechless.

She couldn’t believe the confidence that Xia Chenglan had.

Lu Ming wanted to say something but was stopped by Xia Chenglan.

The woman then had one of her people kick the door down to force Old Man Zhao and Madam Yang to work with them.

The moment the door was kicked down, Madam Yang instantly went insane.

She ran into the kitchen and came charging out with a cleaver in her hand.

The people from the Xia clan were intimidated by Madam Yang’s crazed expression, and all of them ran.

As for Xia Chenglan, she completely forgot to run. Instead, all she could do was stare as Madam Yang charged toward her with the cleaver raised.

“Ah…!” Xia Chenglan screamed, and she fell back while a unique odor started to fill the air.

She had pissed her pants.

Zhao Chuchu almost could not stop herself from laughing.

That was all Xia Chenglan could do.

Just a simple threat from a villager, and she had pissed her pants.

Madam Yang wasn’t planning on splitting Xia Chenglan’s head in half.

She still remembered that killing was a serious offense.

“Get lost, or I’ll chop your leg in half!” Madam Yang roared, still holding the

cleaver high.

“You crazy woman!” Xia Chenglan screamed. “Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me? Kill this bitch!”

Lu Ming also realized that Madam Yang had no intention to kill someone and had returned.

Madam Yang was alone, and all she could do was scare the people from the Xia clan. “Don’t come any closer! This is Lengshui Village! Are you guys bandits?” Lu Ming didn’t want things to turn out like this.

However, Xia Chenglan was utterly terrified. If he still tried to talk things out, Xia Chenglan would be on his ass once they headed back.

Xia Songquan also treated Xia Chenglan better than all of his other children. Lu Ming didn’t want the situation to become the reason for his employer to lose trust in him.

“Take the entire clan down and drag them to the government! They have kidnapped one of us and tried to bribe us!” Lu Ming ordered.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Madam Yang roared. “Who did I kidnap? Your mom? Your mouth is as foul as your ass! It’s so smelly that I can’t even breathe! You guys are the thugs here! This is Lengshui Village! There’s the law here!”

However, the people from the Xia clan weren’t affected by what Madam Yang had said.

They knew that Madam Yang was putting on a show, and they weren’t afraid anymore. It was as if they hadn’t run away just a few minutes ago.

Now, Madam Yang was starting to get scared.

Old Man Zhao and her two sons didn’t even dare to come out to help her.

“Help! They’re trying to kill me!” Madam Yang yelled.

As her voice was already loud to begin with, her yell quickly attracted the attention of the entire village.

“Kill that bitch!” Xia Chenglan roared.

The thought of her pissing her own pants made her want to tear Madam Yang into pieces.

At the same time, Niu Tongsheng had arrived with the rest of the villagers, charging into Old Man Zhao’s garden.

“Who are you guys? What are you doing?” Niu Tongsheng roared. “How dare you try and harm our villagers? Do you think we’ll sit still and let you do this?”

When Lu Ming saw that everyone was listening to Niu Tongsheng’s order, he quickly knew that the man was the village chief. He then signaled all his men to stand down.

“Uncle Ming! What are you doing?” Xia Chenglan scolded..
