The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan
Chapter 532 - 347: The Downfall of the Zhang Family
"The second young master of the Zhaang family went to the villa to find Chun Nuan?"
"Yes, my lord."
In the Capital, if you talk about who Zhao Minghua is most wary of, it would naturally be the Zhaang family.
Sometimes I am grateful for the Zhaang family not marrying her, but sometimes I am also infuriated: such a wonderful Nuannuan. In those difficult times, the Zhaang family not only betrayed her but also broke off the engagement, pushing her into an abyss.
I haven’t even confronted him yet, and he’s already coming up looking for trouble.
I heard he was very insulting, even thinking Nuannuan resented him, and Zhao Minghua just laughed dryly!
Even if there’s no mirror at home, nature might provide one. Does he think Nuannuan would bother to keep him in her heart or hold a grudge against him?
Spending time even glancing at someone irrelevant is a waste.
"Keep an eye on the Zhaang family."
Those who dare to bully him must pay the price.
Zhao Minghua entered the Capital, earning money through business while also establishing his connections and influence.
The Zhao family managed to make a name for themselves in a Capital where power was overwhelming, carving a path out of nothing, but their power was still as weak as ants.
Elder brother has already entered the court, embarking on a career in politics, paving the way for Zhao Minghua.
What’s needed will be provided, what’s required will be established, and what should be there is there.
Powerful families in the Capital have their Hidden Guards, and Zhao Minghua realized this when he was in Changzhou, starting to groom his own people from the age of fourteen.
He later brought twelve people to the Capital, none of them raised in vain.
Everything happening in the Capital was under his control, so what happened at the Chunshan Women’s Medical College quickly reached Zhao Minghua’s ears.
If he doesn’t show them who’s boss, they’d forget his very name.
Zhao Minghua smirked coldly as he gave the orders.
"Yes, my lord, this little one will handle it immediately."
Lord Zhaang never expected that something from years ago would one day be brought to the Emperor.
The Emperor ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate thoroughly.
In one night, the Zhaang family was raided!
"Master, what is happening, my lord..."
Mrs. Zhang was dumbfounded: "My lord, how could we..."
Never imagined their family would follow in the footsteps of the Xiao family.
Used to simply see the Xiao family get raided and thought to stay away.
Now their family was raided, finally understanding what kind of state of mind that is.
"My lord..."
The men and women of the Zhaang family were each put in a cell, looking at each other.
"My lord, did you offend someone?"
A word awakened the dreamer, and Lord Zhaang broke into a sweat, looking at his second son, kicking him.
"Father, I did nothing wrong, I haven’t even stepped out the door."
"You ungrateful brat, you scoundrel!"
What more could he have done wrong?
He knew it; for something from over a decade ago to be dragged up, they must’ve dug deep!
In the Capital, every family has a little dirt under the pot; when not tearing each other apart, everyone turns a blind eye.
But if anyone dares to tear it apart, it’s all or nothing.
If you haven’t offended anyone, who would dig up old dirt?
Most critically, for something that old to be dug out, it shows they were determined to cause trouble.
This time, there’s no going back.
"Father, even if I’m to die, give me a reason, I really don’t know where I went wrong?"
"You incompetent fool, think about why you were beaten..."
Wait, beaten?
Wasn’t that because of looking for Xiao Chunnuan at Chunshan Women’s Medical College?
"Father, are you saying this is Xiao Chunnuan’s doing, that woman is truly vicious..."
"Slap, slap, slap"
Lord Zhaang, unable to contain his anger, slapped his son several times left and right.
"You can eat food recklessly but not speak carelessly, I truly spoiled you, causing this disaster with your unrestrained mouth..."
Even at this point, he hadn’t learned his lesson, still cursing Xiao Chunnuan.
Whether it was Xiao Chunnuan’s doing, he wasn’t sure, but he knew it definitely started because of her.
Success and failure lie with women, Lord Zhaang sighed heavily: the Zhaang family is finished!
"What did you say?"
Chun Nuan was assessing the second batch of students at Chunshan Academy.
She wanted to see if there were any more students like Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying, who were determined and ambitious to learn skills, as teaching according to aptitude is best.
As equally students and disciples, Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying were diligent and eager to learn, noting whatever they encountered during clinical practice and asking her questions each time they met.
As a teacher, naturally, one is happy to explain, wishing to impart all one’s knowledge to them.
Of course, up until now, only Panpan could handle it, others would look at you with a blank face after a few more words, unable to grasp anything, not able to absorb it at all.
In such situations, Chun Nuan had so much skill but could only stifle it in her heart.
"Teacher, the Zhaang family has been raided, Lord Zhaang’s embezzlement from over ten years ago was uncovered, the whole family imprisoned, likely to be exiled to the Northern Desert."
Who would believe something done over a decade ago was unearthed without an intent to target his family?
Whom did the Zhaang family offend?
Suddenly remembering his bold words at Chunshan Women’s Medical College, could it be...
Indeed, she knows very well her bedfellow’s temperament.
His nature is both domineering and very comforting.
Yet it also felt like he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
He could curse all he wanted, after all, the government had already flogged him twenty times, a warning example, surely no one else would dare be impudent at Chunshan Medical College.
Didn’t expect him to strike at the root directly, sending all of the Zhaang family in.
Returning home, Chun Nuan didn’t know what to say looking at Zhao Minghua.
"What’s up, do I have flowers on my face?"
"No flowers on your face, just a bit of ink."
This man, probably played with his son again, the loser got painted like a cat, and didn’t clean off properly, that handsome face, losing face.
"Where?"
Zhao Minghua asked for a bronze mirror, looked at himself, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Naughty little rascal."
Zhao Minghua truly doted on his beloved son.
"Don’t spoil him too much, or else you won’t be able to end it."
Originally Chun Nuan thought having only one child was lonely, having another would provide company, but these years, Zhao Minghua didn’t want her to suffer the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, so he voluntarily took abortion medicine.
"Not at all, I know my son well, he won’t go bad at the core, nor would I spoil him, he’s a child with principles and boundaries."
Zhao Minghua proudly said, "Because his father isn’t a bad person."
"Yes, yes, you’re not a bad person."
Just the best of the bad ones, who dares offend you, their whole family would face ruin.
"Was the Zhaang family your doing?"
"Zhaang family, what Zhaang family?"
Ha, someone’s still playing dumb!
