Chapter 214 Rich Woman
Zhu Residence. Zhu Kesheng entered carrying pastries and saw Chun'e drawing her eyebrows. A look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Although Chun'e looks much better now than before, older women are completely different from young girls. No matter how well she takes care of herself, she will never have the delicate body of a young girl. Therefore, he hasn't touched her in years.

Originally, seeing how well her business was doing, he thought it wouldn't be a problem to keep such a cash cow at home, so he decided to let her keep her position as the principal wife and marry his beloved Ya'er as a secondary wife. But this woman was so ungrateful that she secretly investigated him and found out everything he had done over the years.

Zhu Kesheng put his hand on Chun'e's shoulder and said gently, "Madam, I bought you your favorite pastries. Come and try them."

"Forget about the pastries! How's that thing going? If you've reached an agreement, let's go change the homeowner!"

“There’s some trouble over there. I’ve been trying to coax her for days, but she just won’t go with us to change the homeowner’s name. But don’t worry, I promise I’ll get this sorted out in the next few days. We’re husband and wife, so it’s safest for the property to be registered in your name. I had no choice back then; I offended an enemy and was afraid he’d come after me, so I went to that woman to lay low for a while.”

As Zhu Kesheng spoke, he opened the pastry box, picked up a piece, and fed it to Chun'e.

"These pastries are very dry, aren't you going to give me some water?" Chun'e said, taking the pastries from his hands.

Zhu Kesheng frowned, his eyes filled with disgust.

He went to the table, poured a glass of water, and when he turned around, he saw Chun'e chewing pastries with her cheeks puffed out, eating them very quickly, as if she had never eaten pastries before.

His eyes showed even more disdain.

Ya'er always ate elegantly, unlike her, who was so vulgar and uncouth.

He must be crazy to give up a beautiful woman like Ya'er and insist on spending the rest of his life with this vulgar old woman.

"Madam, please have some water."

"I'm only giving you three days. If you don't change the household registration to mine within three days, I'll expose your actions."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be yours." Zhu Kesheng said, and then pinched another piece of pastry and fed it to Chun'e.

Chun'e slapped the pastries away, looking impatient: "Don't think I'll soften up just because you're being nice to me."

After saying that, Chun'e held her head and said in a daze, "What's wrong? Why do I feel so dizzy?"

Zhu Kesheng's lips curled up, and he said, "Feeling dizzy is normal."

"What did you do to me?" Chun'e stared at him weakly, shaking her head. "You...you wanted to kill me to silence me? I am your wife."

"Since you know she's my wife, how dare you threaten me? Who gave you the guts?" Zhu Kesheng revealed his true, ferocious nature.

He pressed Chun'e's head down and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, after you leave, I will hand over your clothing shop to Ya'er to manage. Ya'er will use your jewelry, wear the clothes from your shop, and manage the properties and shops with me. Our children will inherit all our businesses."

"Is that so?" Several people emerged from behind the screen. "Unfortunately, you probably won't have that chance."

Chun'e, who should have been unconscious, sat up straight, the dazed look in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes regained their clarity.

Zhu Kesheng was startled by the group of people who suddenly rushed in. He looked at them sharply and said, "Who are you? This is my home. How dare you trespass?"

“We are friends invited by Sister Chun’e. We came to visit her and happened to see someone trying to commit murder. Do you think the authorities would believe our testimony if we went to the government to be witnesses?”

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu were followed by more than a dozen skilled fighters, and you could tell from their eyes that they were not to be trifled with.

Zhu Kesheng finally understood. That bitch Chun'e had become clever now and wasn't so easily fooled. She probably already suspected him and was just waiting for him to make his move.

Zhu Kesheng weighed his current situation. He couldn't handle these people, and he had just thoroughly angered Chun'e. If he didn't satisfy her this time, his secret would truly be exposed to the public. If he were arrested by the authorities, he would face exile at best, and death at worst.

We have no choice but to accept our fate.

“Okay, I’ll transfer the business to your name,” Zhu Kesheng said.

"Transfer now."

“Some industries are located in other provinces, and even if they were to relocate immediately, it wouldn’t be this fast.”

"It's alright, my friends are willing to come with me. Let's go now, lest someone tries to kill me to cover it up," Chun'e sneered.

Zhu Kesheng dared not speak out against his anger and could only compromise.

The rest was left to Mingye Hall to handle with Chun'e. For safety reasons, as many as thirty of Mingye Hall's men accompanied Chun'e. Seeing such a force, Zhu Kesheng's ulterior motives completely vanished.

Although he was a bodyguard with many men under his command, only a few close associates were willing to risk their lives for him. Even if he hired thugs, it would probably be too late.

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu escorted Chun'e out of the city gate.

"Are these people from Mingyetang reliable? They can handle Zhu Kesheng, right? Zhu Kesheng has murderous intent towards Sister Chun'e, so he might hire someone to kill her."

"Don't worry, the people of Mingye Hall are divided into two groups: one group gathers intelligence, and the other group is responsible for hard labor. Those who do hard labor are further divided into protection and killing."

"How do you know so much?" Su Yaoguang tilted her head and looked at Zhou Wangshu. "Wangshu, you are really meticulous, asking such detailed questions."

Zhou Wangshu hummed in agreement: "Isn't that what we should do?"

"Alright, let's go back and wait for Sister Chun'e's good news! By the time she comes back, she'll be a little rich woman in our area!"

"Not only that, that disgusting man should also disappear."

"Correct."

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu walked back, chatting and laughing. When they passed the bookstore, they wanted to see if there were any new books on display, so they strode inside.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Xiao Yanci talking to the bookstore owner.

“Young Master Xiao, your booklets are so popular, we can’t keep up with demand! Please write more, and I’m willing to pay a high price.”

Xiao Yanci nodded aloofly, took the silver, and left.

When he turned around, he saw Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu walking in side by side, their behavior intimate, and his eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.

Zhou Wangshu saw Xiao Yanci and also saw his eyes. He put his arm around Su Yaoguang's shoulder and stroked her hair very affectionately.

Su Yaoguang was looking at the new books on the bookshelf when she saw him turn around with a puzzled look. However, she quickly realized Zhou Wangshu's purpose because she had also seen Xiao Yanci standing opposite her, breathing fire.

Have a serious illness.

After Xiao Yanci left, Su Yaoguang brushed his arm away: "Childish."
