Xia Chu was originally crying, but when she heard this, she burped in anger, "Bullshit... burp... burp... burp."

Damn it! This burp has no momentum at all!

Zhao Huazhang turned around in surprise. He didn't expect that this person who looked like a porcelain doll and had a soft and sweet voice could actually swear?

The muscles on He Suowei's face twitched, and he said to Zhao Huazhang, "Look, you're too unruly. I'll take you back and discipline you."

"Is she your maid? When did she sell herself?" Zhao Huazhang asked.

"I grew up in my home." He was just making up a lie.

"What's her name?" Zhao Huazhang continued to ask. The little man behind him was still burping and mumbling while burping, and he sounded very angry.

"Xia Chu." He did find out the name, but he didn't know if Zhao Huazhang was just bored to ask so many questions. "I have something else to do. Please, Master Zhao, let me take this cunning slave back."

Zhao Huazhang's face turned cold, and his voice was low. "Her name is Wang Xiachu. Both her parents are alive at home. She has three older brothers. The eldest is under my command, the second is a scholar, and the third has a promising future. She also has a younger brother. I didn't even know she grew up in your house?"

He Suo's pupils shrank. Did these two people know each other? It seemed like he wouldn't succeed today.

During the stalemate, Zhang Zhou's voice came from a distance: "Xiaochu!! Xiaochu!! Where are you!"

"Second brother!! I'm here!!" Xia Chu responded quickly.

He Suowei stared at Wang Xiachu and said, "You're lucky." He laughed twice and said, "Did I recognize the wrong person? I'm sorry." After saying that, he turned and left.

Xia Chu came out from behind Zhao Huazhang and wanted to do something, but Zhao Huazhang held her shoulders. "Don't worry, not today."

"Why? Just let him go like that!?" Xia Chu frowned.

"Don't worry, I'll help you get revenge." Zhao Huazhang untied the ropes that bound her. Zhang Zhou had already run over. Seeing this scene, his blood boiled. Without even thinking, he rushed over, pushed Zhao Huazhang away, and shouted, "What did you do to my sister?"

Xia Chu threw away the rope and stood in front of Zhao Huazhang, "Second brother, you misunderstood!"

"What happened?" Zhang Zhou rushed over, barely catching his breath. Looking at his sister's face full of injuries, he felt distressed. "How did you get it on your face?"

"How could such a beautiful face become like this? Who did it?" Xu Shiqing looked even angrier than Zhang Zhou.

Xia Chu then told Zhang Zhou what he had just experienced. Zhang Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "This beast!"

"Worse than an animal!" Xu Shiqing cursed. "With so many people here, all of them acquaintances, he actually dared to do such a thing in broad daylight! I'll tell Brother He! Tell him to discipline this cousin!"

Zhang Zhou said in a deep voice, "Of course we have to tell him, but he's already left, and we have no proof. Brother He might not believe it, and even if he did, they are cousins. How could they fall out with their own brother over outsiders like us?"

"Let's just forget about it? Look at my sister, she was frightened and her face is all red. How can she bear it?" Xu Shiqing said.

"We'll have to think about this later." Zhang Zhou helped his sister fix her hair and picked off the grass leaves. "Xiaochu, I'll take you home."

Xia Chu nodded and said, "Let's go back and say hello before leaving."

"I will personally escort Madam Wang back," Zhao Huazhang said. "I'm here on horseback, right at the foot of the mountain."

"That's fine. The teachers just arrived, so it would be rude for us to leave immediately," Xu Shiqing said. He knew Zhao Huazhang, but not very well, as he had left for the military camp long ago. But the Zhao family had a good tradition, and he had never heard of anything bad being said about them.

"I need to go back. Madam Li just told me you might be in danger." Zhang Zhou looked at Zhao Huazhang. Although he wasn't very likable, he was trustworthy. His sister was in such a mess that it wasn't appropriate for her to go back. However, he felt uneasy if he didn't send his sister back in person.

"Second brother, your teacher is here, you go first. Please tell Madam Li and the others that I'm leaving first." The second brother wanted to send them off but there was no car. They had rented a car in the morning and had agreed on a time to pick them up. It was too early and they couldn't leave at all.

Zhang Zhou pondered for a moment, then glanced back and forth at his sister and Zhao Huazhang. "Tell Shiqing to go back and tell him I'll take you home." He turned to Xu Shiqing and said, "Your car is downstairs. Ask the driver to take us back."

"Master Le came here for your sister this time. It might not be appropriate if you two leave," Xu Shiqing reminded.

Zhang Zhou frowned in embarrassment, but he couldn't feel at ease if he left his sister behind and went back after seeing how badly she had suffered.

"Okay, second brother, I'm leaving first." Xia Chu knelt and bowed to Zhao Huazhang, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhao."

"You're welcome, let's go." Zhao Huazhang gestured for her to go ahead and he would follow behind to keep an eye on her.

Zhang Zhou followed for two steps before Xu Shiqing pulled him back. "Alright, the Zhao family has a very upright family tradition. It's okay. Master Le and the others are still waiting. Let's go back first. We ran away in such a hurry just now that we didn't have time to explain. Let's go back and apologize now."

Everyone had left, so Zhang Zhou had no choice but to give up. After returning, he found that He Suowei had not returned either. Madam Li and the others were waiting anxiously in their seats. They saw the two return, but not Xia Chu. Li Yun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they didn't find her? But looking at Zhang Zhou's expression, he didn't seem worried, unlike the anxious look just now. He must have found her, but it was just inconvenient for him to come back. She breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it wasn't too late.

As expected, Zhang Zhou came over and explained that Xia Chu was injured and someone had already sent her back. He also thanked Li Yun solemnly, saying that if she hadn't reported the news in time, he wouldn't have known that his sister was in danger.

Li Yun waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary. Bai Wuxia stepped forward and said, "Xia Chu is not injured, right? It's my fault for being careless. I didn't notice that the boy was wrong." She was not injured, nor did she fall down the hillside. It was just that the boy said he had to go to the toilet when he was halfway there, and asked her to wait for a while. She didn't think much about it and just waited there. But she didn't expect that when her friend came, the boy took advantage of their confusion and quickly ran into the forest. Bai Wuxia wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Mo Qingmei.

It was then that they realized Li Yun hadn't followed them. When they turned back to look for Li Yun, they found out Xia Chu was missing.

"She suffered minor injuries and looked distressed, so she couldn't show herself. We sent her back." Zhang Zhou didn't reveal the culprit, He Suowei. Disclosure would damage Xia Chu's reputation. Although she was the victim, the rules of etiquette were strict for women. Even if nothing had happened, rumors could easily spread, and even if there were only a few people involved, rumors could easily become distorted.

"That's good." Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where do you live? Is it convenient for me to visit you?" She really liked Xia Chu. She was pretty, had a similar temperament, and played music well.

Zhang Zhou informed them of the address before turning back to apologize to the teachers. He had just received the news, and he had no time to explain himself, as he was only focused on finding his sister first.
