Zhao Chuchu, Apologize!

Madam Ma flew horizontally and landed on the ground with a hard thud.

The people around Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng almost lost their ears when they heard her painful scream.

No one was brave enough to move.

Zhao Chuchu pulled back the leg she had just used to kick Madam Ma. She casually looked at the Zhao family members and said, "Come, all of you, at once. Don't make me waste my time beating you up one by one."

Madam Yang subconsciously took a step back.

Zhao Chuchu rotated her wrist and tilted her head a little as she said, "Come, let me see who still wants to snatch my money and kill me."

"Zhao Chuchu, that was your aunt! How dare you hit her! Aren't you afraid that you would be punished by God?" Zhao Baogen yelled angrily, "You unfilial animal, God will make you pay for what you've done one day!"

"Don't just keep talking. If you are so righteous, then go to the government and report Zhao Zhizhi's death. You think that I'm so soft and that you can just bully me all you want?" Zhao Chuchu laughed and said, "Sure, I'll get back at you guys for a small part of what you've done to me in the past."

As Zhao Chuchu talked, she picked up a stick that had a good grip and started hitting the Zhao family.

Painful grunts and screams immediately started echoing through the air.

The villagers all rushed over when they heard the noise.

The head of the Zhao family yelled, "Zhao Chuchu, stop right now!"

Zhao Chuchu ignored him. She beat Madam Yang and the rest until they cried, screaming and begging for mercy. Only then did she stop to stand beside Xie Heng.

"I would advise you not to meddle with this. This is between me and them. If you dare to make any noise and disturb me, don't think that you won't end up just like them!" A murderous aura surrounded Zhao Chuchu, and her eyes appeared chilling.

The head of the Zhao family was so stunned that he even forgot to breathe for a moment.

"They are your elders!"

"Elders? They were shouting to kill me just now. What kind of elders do that?"

"Regardless of what happens, your surname is still Zhao."

"When I got married to Xie Heng, it was no different from being kicked out of the Zhao family. Where were all of you when that happened? Now you're taking the moral high ground and reprimanding me? You don't have the right to do that!"

"You!"

"Right now, I belong to the Xie family. Does the Zhao family have such long arms that you can meddle with the Xie family's business?"

"Zhao Chuchu!"

"Every sentence I speak with you feels exhausting. I'll say it upfront—once you yelled and shouted to kill me, you already become my enemies. If you just can't stop yourself from coming at me, then don't blame me for being cruel. I've already died once. I'm not afraid of fighting you!"

Zhao Chuchu's gaze swept over everyone in the Zhao family. Her sharp gaze gave them such an oppressive feeling to the point that it was becoming difficult to breathe.

Xie Heng, who had been watching all this time, said, "Chuchu, you should have let them hit you first. Once they do that, even if you killed them, you would just be forced to act out of self-defense. The governing bureau wouldn't consider you guilty."

The moment Xie Heng said that, a horrified expression appeared on Madam Yang's face as she took several steps back.

"You have contributed greatly to the imperial court, and these people's actions are no different from that of robbers and bandits. The imperial court organizes mass bandit elimination campaigns every year. Once they die, it'll be considered your contribution to the country again. Remember, let them hit you first next time."

Xie Heng's voice was not very loud, but it felt like hammers smashing all of their hearts.

Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, "Hubby, you're right. I'll listen to you next time."

"Okay, let's go back now." Xie Heng's face was expressionless.

"All right." Zhao Chuchu took his arm and walked forward, ignoring everyone else.

When Madam Yang and the others saw them walking over, they turned pale, squirmed, and ran toward the walls. They were afraid that even accidentally touching Zhao Chuchu could get them killed.

Everyone could see how bad Madam Ma's fall was.

No one in Zhao Chuchu's family was brave enough to stop her.

"Zhao Chuchu, if you don't apologize now, don't think that the Zhao family will help you if something bad happens to you in the future!" said the head of the Zhao family with a dark expression on his face.

Zhao Chuchu waved her hand without even turning around and said, "Don't worry, that day will never come."

The head of the Zhao family was fuming.

Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng, on the other hand, had already left.

As Xie Heng thought about what had just happened, an idea came to him.
