They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 287 Threatening the Bai Family, Provoking

In that case, wouldn't I have to swallow this bitter pill without being able to speak up?
Bai was so angry that she almost fainted.

If Xu Zhichun knew what she was thinking at that moment, he would be speechless.

She suffered a loss in silence? She was clearly the one with malicious intent who failed to harm others, so how did she suffer a loss? Just because others didn't stand by and let her succeed in her plot, does that mean she suffered a loss?
What's the reasoning behind that?

Bai couldn't understand it at all and couldn't help but ask, "Why...why wasn't it you today?"

Speechless. "Does my second aunt think I look like a naive and innocent girl?"

"What...what's sweet?"

"Does my second aunt think I look silly?"

"Humph"

Just thinking about Bai makes me so angry I feel like vomiting blood.

I wish she were stupid!
If she were stupid, why would she need to put in so much effort, lose sleep over it, or suffer such bad luck?

"It seems that Second Aunt also thinks I'm not stupid, right? If that's the case, why does Second Aunt think I would trust Zeng Mingzhu so easily?"

"you!"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think I don't know what kind of person Miss Zeng is? Does she think that just because she condescended to come to my door, I would be so moved that I would believe her and listen to whatever she says? Second Aunt is really smart all her life but foolish for a moment. What a pity."

"."

Bai almost couldn't catch her breath and felt like vomiting blood again.

Yes, how could she have believed Zeng Mingzhu? That kind of rich girl is so naive, arrogant, and self-righteous. She has no real skills, just a lot of self-confidence. How could she have believed her?
Stupid, so stupid!
Bai wanted to slap herself.

How could she have lost her mind!
"Second Aunt was really ruined by Miss Zeng!"

Bai suddenly looked up and glared at him.

Xu Zhichun steadily delivered her blows, calmly stabbing holes into Bai Shi's heart one after another: "Although Miss Zeng also embarrassed herself, she has the Zeng family backing her up. She can hide for a while and still live a life of luxury without worrying about food or clothing. Besides, what she did was just a little bit of fun between the young couple. Although it was a bit embarrassing, as long as she throws away her reputation for being virtuous and dignified, it will be a small matter and then it will be forgotten. At most, everyone will just laugh at her. Who will remember it after a while? Second Aunt is different. Second Aunt is so badly injured. Her medical treatment must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Spending money is one thing, but who knows what kind of aftereffects it might leave, or damage the foundation of your body's vitality? Who knows how many problems, big and small, you'll have in the future!"

"If you don't eat and drink well and take good care of yourself, it will be even worse, and it's hard to say how long you'll live."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

"It was clearly Zeng Mingzhu's idea, but it ended up ruining my second aunt's life. Does my second aunt really intend to let her off the hook like this? My second aunt is really kind and generous."

"Stop talking! Shut up."

"My second aunt is really pitiful."

"Zeng Mingzhu may be shameless, and Madam Zeng is a shrew, but Master Zeng and Young Master Zeng still have some sense of reason. If you want compensation, Second Aunt, remember to go to Master Zeng and Young Master Zeng. Zeng Mingzhu will definitely not give you anything, and Madam Zeng will only hate you. You won't get any good out of dealing with those two."

Bai's curse was swallowed back down, and she changed her tone to a cold snort: "You'd be so kind as to remind me?"

In truth, Bai was already largely convinced, because Zeng Mingzhu was truly not someone to be trifled with. She was quite self-aware enough to know that it was virtually impossible for her to gain any advantage over Zeng Mingzhu.

Bai was unwilling to shoot herself in the foot, but she wasn't stupid; she wouldn't mess with people she couldn't afford to offend.

But what if it's possible to get compensation from somewhere else?

Why doesn't she want it?
After all, she ended up in such a terrible state because of this incident, so why can't she ask for compensation?
Xu Zhichun is right, it was all Zeng Mingzhu's fault!
Xu Zhichun: "Of course I didn't mean any harm. I just felt it was too easy on Zeng Mingzhu, so I wanted to cause her some trouble. After all, only my second aunt got her comeuppance, and she's still doing fine."

"you--"

Bai stared at Xu Zhichun in disbelief.

Zeng Mingzhu is already disgraced and ashamed to face anyone, and this is called "still doing well"?
Xu Zhichun is truly ruthless.

"Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say. Whether Second Aunt believes me or not, and whatever she decides to do, it's none of my business." "Second Aunt, you must remember this clearly: this whole matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. If anyone lies and tries to frame me, I won't hesitate to ask the village head, Fourth Aunt, and Sixth Grandfather to open the ancestral hall and get to the bottom of this. Even if the village can't handle it, there's always the government! This concerns my reputation, and I don't believe the government won't investigate."

Bai stared straight at her.

Xu Zhichun turned to leave.

"Wait, will you... will you take revenge on me later? Will you seek revenge?"

Xu Zhichun knew that she was asking about the incident where she pushed her off the cliff.

How could she have the nerve to ask such a question?
What gives her the audacity to ask such a question?

"Second Aunt," Xu Zhichun smiled slightly, "when have I ever taken revenge on you? What makes you think I'll ever do that?"

"you"

Xu Zhichun ignored her and walked away.

Revenge? Seeking revenge? Of course she would.

Xu Zhichun came and went, as free as the wind.

Uncle Liang opened his mouth to call out "Hey—" as if to stop her, but Xu Zhichun ignored him and had already walked away.

Uncle Liang had no choice but to give up.

"What's so special about this?"

Did you come empty-handed? You left without even saying goodbye.

I really don't know what she came here for.

What visit? You're probably just here to watch the show and make a fool of yourself, aren't you?

Uncle Liang quickly went into the room.

He wasn't sure if he was overthinking it, but he felt that his wife's complexion looked worse than before.

But he couldn't care less about all that.

"Did Xu Zhichun come here specifically to visit you?"

Visiting? Xu Zhichun? Bai wanted to sneer and curse.

She's here to drive herself crazy.

But after being threatened, her reason returned, and Bai dared not speak recklessly. She could only snort and let her husband interpret it however he pleased.

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Uncle Liang assumed it was true and hurriedly asked, "Did she give you any money when she came to visit you? Give it to me quickly!"

"what?"

"Silver! Give it to me now! Do you know that the people who brought you back demanded five taels of silver, saying it was for your medical expenses? I—"

"what!"

Bai screamed, "Five taels! You gave them to them?"

"Those are government officials! Government officials! If they said it was five taels, would I dare refuse?"

"."

Bai was speechless. Yes, those were government officials. Even if they asked her for it, she would have to give it to them.

Uncle Liang got angry again and complained, "Isn't it all your fault?"
