“You’re doing fine now, don’t feel useless. At least you aren’t muddying the waters at this time. That is a kind of growth. Huihui, look well at what is in front of you, then keep it in your mind and never forget it.”

“I will.”

Yuan Hui clenched her fist.

People outside were still forcing Old Mrs. Yuan to marry Yuan Hui to the Ye or Hong clan.

However, Mrs. Yuan and Old Mrs. Yuan stared at them without saying anything.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Fourth Old Mr. Ye said with a smile, “Old Mrs. Yuan. It is what it is now. Do you want to be deserted by your families? I said tying the knot with us was a good thing. My nephew is more than good enough for your Yuan Hui.”

“Don’t be so ungrateful! Do you plan to be trapped here for the rest of your life?

The Yuan clan is a big family and rich, but someone has to hold up to it. Otherwise, it will only become your sin. When you’re old, it’s time to retire. It’s the young’s world now.”

“Anyway, no matter what you do today, my nephew will marry Yuan Hui. If you are still bent on having your way, then what is left for Yuan Hui will not be the honored title of a wife but a good concubine. After all, the Yuan clan is a merchant family, while we are a prestigious noble clan.”

Old Mrs. Yuan laughed coldly. “No matter how much you talk, I will not relent in accepting this marriage. It would only be possible unless I die here or the last one of the Yuan clan dies.’

“You’ve been strong all your life and have made many smart choices. Why are you so confused in your old age instead?” Fourth Old Mr. Ye said. “You look

down on the Hong clan and dislike the Ye clan. It will be too late when you beg the two families!”

“Someone, invite Miss Yuan out. I will personally ask if she’s willing to marry!”

“Don’t you dare! Ye Fayun, do you still have any respect for the law?”

“The law? The Ye clan is the law in Guangqing Province!”

“You…”

Seeing this, Chuchu quickly said to Yuan Hui, “Stand here and don’t move. I’ll go out and check out. Don’t worry! Those rabble-rousers won’t be able to accomplish anything with me around!”

“Then be careful.” After Yuan Hui calmed down, she didn’t insist on doing anything and listened to Chuchu’s arrangement.

After Chuchu hid Yuan Hui well, she walked out with good grace while applauding and said, “It’s wonderful! I’ve seen so much today. So many people are bullying two women, and one of them is old… Tsk tsk, do you even feel the slightest bit of shame?”

Seeing Chuchu come out, Old Mrs. Yuan showed her disapproval, signaling her to go back and stay out of this matter.

However, Chuchu walked up and quietly patted her hand, telling her not to worry.

“Who are you?” Fourth Old Mr. Ye stared coldly at Chuchu, like a poisonous snake, making people chill.

However, it did not have any effect on her.

Chuchu raised her head and met the sight of Fourth Old Mr. Ye, saying proudly, “Me? A heroine who reaches a helping hand to the needy. I can’t stand seeing so many of you bullying orphans and widows.”

“Girl, I advise you not to meddle. It’s not something you can manage.”

“What if I must?”

“Then don’t you regret it!”

Chuchu looked sideways at Old Mrs. Yuan. “Old Mrs. Yuan, who is this person? Why does he keep threatening people with the same words? Is he a parrot? Oh, he looks a bit like that too. Who would dress up in such colorful clothes for a decent man?”

“What did you say? Say it again?”

“I said, are you a parrot? You repeat and repeat just the same words. My ears are suffering too much!”

“How dare you! Someone, tie this woman!”

Although Second Mr. Ye and Third Mr. Hong were at the poetry and literature gathering that day, they weren’t present when Chuchu was competing with Hong Xulin, so they didn’t know who she was.

As for the two older men who represented the Ye and Hong clans now, it was even more impossible for them to know.

Chuchu casually grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and said while eating them, “I hope you don’t regret it!”

“Take her!”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye had never suffered such humiliation. The opponent was still a young girl.

The yard guards of the Ye clan swarmed up.

Old Mrs. Yuan was furious. “Ye Fayun, you are in the Yuan clan!”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye didn’t respect her a little. He only wanted to catch Chuchu to vent his anger now.

Chuchu gently laughed and casually scattered the sunflower seeds out.

This action might seem unintentional, but the moment the seeds were out of her hand, they suddenly seemed to be attached to the power and shot out in a swift and fierce momentum.

Before the yard guards narrowed their encirclement, they screamed one after another, all holding their legs.

The people of the Ye and Hong clans were shocked by this.

Fourth Old Mr. Ye was furious. “What are you still doing up there? You trash.” “My leg hurts.” A guard yelled.

He removed his leg, dripping with blood as if some sharp weapon had pierced it.

The other guards were the same, all injured on their legs.

Fourth Old Mr. Ye finally looked at Chuchu squarely.

Chuchu’s eyebrows arched. “I’m afraid it’s going to cost a lot of medicine. Don’t worry. They won’t die, but there’s a chance they’ll be lame. If you find a good doctor, there’s still a chance, depending on whether you are generous and merciful!”

“Who the hell are you?” Fourth Old Mr. Ye lowered his temper a little and turned less condescending.

“A heroine who reaches a helping hand to the needy!”

“Miss Heroine, this is a matter between the Ye clan and the Yuan clan. We can give you whatever you want if you don’t get involved. We will treat you as our guest if you are willing to serve the Ye clan.”

“Ha, aren’t you being inconsistent with your words? On the one hand, you ask me to serve you, and on the other hand, you say you will treat me as your guest. Would you treat your slave as a guest of honor? Fourth Old Mr. Ye, right? I know that stupid people are helpless, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone as stupid as you.”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye instantly darkened at her words. “I call you Miss Heroine to show my respect. Otherwise, you are just a roving bandit! Once the imperial court gives an order, you are a wanted criminal. Are you still determined to be in cahoots with the Yuan family?” “What if I insist on the side of the Yuan family?”

“Very well, you asked for it.”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye laughed coldly and made a killer move.

He took out an official document and raised it. “The Yuan clan have colluded in a heinous crime with a bandit. Now the evidence is irrefutable. Arrest them immediately and seize all of the Yuan clan’s assets.”

“What are you saying? Ye Fayun, you liar! I didn’t expect you to fabricate such things to frame the Yuan clan and embezzle the Yuan clan!” Old Mrs. Yuan couldn’t believe what she heard.

The official document in his hand had the official seal of the government office. They were trying to drive the Yuan clan to extinction.

“Old Mrs. Yuan, this is your clan’s fate. Just accept it!” Fourth Old Mr. Ye smiled evilly.

“Since when did the imperial court rely on a mouth to handle cases?” At the same time, a male voice full of mockery took over the conversation..
