The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife - Chapter 263

263 I Miss You

Zhao Chuchu’s harsh words made Yuan Hui a little embarrassed.

“Bad luck!” Zhao Chuchu added in disgust.

“The Xia clan will find you sooner or later, so you can’t hide your identity for long, not to mention that Xia Chengxuan has even met you,” Yuan Hui said.

Zhao Chuchu smiled but did not say anything.

!!
At least at the moment, she was not too willing to deal with the Xia clan.

“Well, enough about that. I heard you’ve been dispensing medicine in your room these two days. Is it all for my grandmother?”

Yuan Hui changed the subject.

“No, it’s for Chunxiang’s face.”

“Why do you make so much?”

“Anyway, I’m making the medicine, so might as well. If you have close friends with the same problem as Chunxiang, I can help them.”

Yuan Hui could not help but laugh out loud.

She liked Zhao Chuchu’s honesty the most.

“I don’t have any friends. Families like the Xia and Kang clan are unwilling to get along with me, and those who are not as good as the Yuan clan are mostly skulkers. Speaking of which, the first friend I have in my life is you, Chuchu.”

“My pleasure.”

“Chuchu, you are such a good doctor, but why did you always stay in Lengshui Village before? I heard that you had a hard time in the past.”

“I think you know what kind of people my so-called grandfather and his family are. Besides, I didn’t learn my skills in the Zhao clan. Maybe I am very talented in learning, but I still need to continue to work hard on my medical skills.”

“Even all those famous doctors in the Wei Dynasty are not as good as you. You can save the people they say they can’t, and that’s the difference.”

“There is no end to learning, and there is always someone to learn from. I am not as good as you say,” Zhao Chuchu said modestly.

In fact, she didn’t want to brag, but there was no doctor in the Wei Dynasty whose medical skills were better than hers.

Anyway, she came from a country with millennia of medical history, while the medicine of the Wei Dynasty had only just begun to develop.

They were like a starting and end point and could not be compared.

Of course, Zhao Chuchu certainly would not talk about these things.

It was enough to shock Xie Heng alone.

Speaking of which, Zhao Chuchu hadn’t seen Xie Heng for a few days, so she missed him a bit.

Unfortunately, there was no instant communication technology in this era, and she didn’t like to write letters, so she could only miss Xie Heng in her heart.

“Miss, the doorkeeper has sent your letter.” Before Zhao Chuchu could suppress that thought, a maid knocked on the door.

The Yuan clan’s maid called Yuan Hui Miss Yuan, so naturally, this Miss referred to Zhao Chuchu.

“My letter?” Zhao Chuchu’s first thought was that it was from Xie Heng, so she rushed forward to open the door.

The maid was standing outside the door holding a letter, and the handwriting on it made Zhao Chuchu instantly recognize that it was indeed from Xie Heng.

That unexplained sweetness instantly came like a tidal wave.

And that tacit understanding made Zhao Chuchu’s eyes light up with laughter.

Yuan Hui came over and glanced at the words on the envelope. Then she smiled playfully and said, “Oh, somebody got a love letter. That explains the coy smile!”

Zhao Chuchu gently bumped her. “Hui, you wait. One day I’ll be the one teasing you. I am thick-skinned and don’t mind your joke, but I wonder if you can handle it.”

Yuan Hui suddenly felt bad and quickly apologized with a smile. “Sorry, it’s my fault. All right, you go back to your room first. Don’t stand here.”

After saying that, Yuan Hui pushed Zhao Chuchu in the direction of her room.

“Well, I’ll go see what he wrote to me.”

Zhao Chuchu waved the letter and went back to her room directly.

The envelope carried a faint maple fragrance. Zhao Chuchu didn’t know how Xie Heng made the fragrance linger, but it smelled very good.

Zhao Chuchu opened the letter. There were four pieces of paper in total, one of which only had a few words. “I miss you day and night. Wherever I go, whatever I do, you’ll be in my heart.”

“Silly.” Zhao Chuchu laughed while her heart was filled with the happiness of being missed by someone.

She didn’t expect Xie Heng to say so bluntly that he missed her.

She thought that Xie Heng had written this letter the day she arrived here.

Zhao Chuchu was a loner in the past. Even though there were many suitors, none of them could catch her eye.

But now her heart was fully occupied by a young man named Xie Heng.

And no one could take his place.

Zhao Chuchu repeatedly read those few sentences more than ten times.

Even if there were a thousand words, they were not as good as these few words that made her heart race.

After reading enough of Xie Heng’s words, Zhao Chuchu took out the remaining three pieces of paper.

These three were written to her by Xie Jun, and they were all about family matters, telling Zhao Chuchu how cold the house was without her, how strict his brother was with him, and how he was looking forward to Zhao Chuchu’s return soon.

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh.

She could even imagine the picture Xie Jun was talking about through his description.

Xie Heng and Xie Jun were originally people from the other world and had nothing to do with her, but fate had placed them together closely.

Zhao Chuchu murmured, “This silly child has started complaining to me!”

Zhao Chuchu read the two brothers’ letters several more times and thought for a long time before taking out a pile of paper to write back to them.

Zhao Chuchu’s brush writing was not good, so naturally, she used a signature pen to write.

But the vertical way of writing made Zhao Chuchu very uncomfortable, so it took her half an hour to write them back.

She told Xie Jun about the prosperity of the capital and its customs and Xie Heng about the interesting things she had encountered on her way to the capital.

And nothing related to the Yuan clan and Xia clan was mentioned.

Zhao Chuchu did not give the letter to the Yuan clan’s people after writing it. She asked the doorkeeper who delivered the letter.

The other party left a message, and Zhao Chuchu went out to send the letter.

But she didn’t expect to meet Xia Chengxuan and her daughter.

Kang Xiuwan was surprised to see Zhao Chuchu.

She almost called out to Zhao Chuchu, but Zhao Chuchu made a gesture of silence to stop them.

Then Zhao Chuchu walked away.

Seeing this, Kang Xiuwan did not dare to go after her.

She also knew that the Xia clan was planning to bring Zhao Chuchu back recently.

Now that Zhao Chuchu appeared in the capital but did not look for the Xia clan, she was definitely unwilling to get involved with the Xia clan.

Kang Xiuwan also did not say anything. After she went to the private room of the teahouse with Xia Chengxuan and dismissed the maids, she lowered her voice and said to Xia Chengxuan, “Mother, I just saw Chuchu.”

“Chuchu has come to the capital? Did your grandfather bring her back? Why didn’t I hear about it?” Xia Chengxuan was surprised.

Kang Xiuwan said, “It seems not. She is alone and won’t let me say hello to her. Mother, is grandfather really planning to acknowledge a relationship with Chuchu again?”

“Yes. You know what the Xia clan’s situation is now, and I don’t know how long it will last. If Chuchu can return to the Xia clan, it will be a great help to the Xia clan. Your grandfather and the others will definitely not let go of this opportunity.”

“But I don’t think Chuchu is that happy about it.”

“Does it matter? As long as your grandfather wants to bring her back, she can’t refuse. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with the Xia clan, and it’s better than her suffering in Lengshui Village.”
