Chapter 6 The Chi family will not let Xia Yuhuan have an easy life.

Xia Zhuyu was disdainful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She took Xia Yuhuan's hand and scolded her playfully.

“I already told my sister that this marriage was arranged for you by your biological mother before she passed away. It's a marriage that belongs to you. How could a marriage arranged by your sister's biological mother be bad? Would she harm you?”

"Sister, you don't believe me. You insist that I didn't want to marry and forced you to marry in my place. You've really wronged me to death."

Xia Yuhuan was so flustered by Xia Zhuyu's playful scolding as she held his hand.

How did Xia Zhuyu, such a scheming and rotten person, become the female lead in the original novel?

The original book is just too outrageous!

Xia Zhuyu had no idea what Xia Yuhuan was thinking. She continued to speak in a teasy tone, her words full of probing, trying to find out what Xia Yuhuan had done at the Chi family's house today.

Xia Yuhuan certainly couldn't tell her, so she didn't respond. Instead, she asked which family the man from the compound belonged to and what his name was.

Xia Zhuyu naturally couldn't say, so the two of them each gave vague answers and dealt with each other.

"Zhuzhu, you're back, you..." Li Rouyue's joyful voice trailed off the moment she saw Xia Yuhuan.

She was clearly surprised that the two of them would come back together, and forced a smile: "Yu Huan is back too."

"Hmm." Xia Yuhuan responded lightly and went straight back to her room in front of the mother and daughter.

Seeing this, Li Rouyue pulled Xia Zhuyu back to her room.

Unbeknownst to the mother and daughter, Xia Yuhuan went into the room, wandered around, and then came out again, quietly sneaking to the outside of Xia Zhuyu's room.

That's right, Xia Yuhuan planned to eavesdrop.

At first, she didn't have high expectations; she just wanted to try her luck and hear a few words, even if it was just a chance.

Unexpectedly, when she pressed her ear against the door and listened intently, the sounds from inside the room actually reached her ears directly.

"Didn't you go to see Gangzi? Why did you come back with her?" Li Rouyue asked.

Xia Zhuyu complained angrily, "Don't even mention it. Gangzi is such a useless piece of trash. I promised him to help me get the stuff back, but he not only failed to do it, he also almost caused me to be exposed. He's more trouble than he's worth."

After hearing the whole story of Xia Zhuyu and Xia Yuhuan's encounter, Li Rouyue frowned and said, "Although that jade pendant is of good quality, it's not a particularly valuable item. Why did you insist on taking it back?"

"If we make any moves now, we'll alert Xia Yuhuan, and she'll definitely become suspicious of us."

“I can’t explain it either,” Xia Zhuyu said in a low voice. “But Mom, I just have a feeling that the jade pendant should belong to me. It’s mine, and Xia Yuhuan shouldn’t take it away.”

Li Rouyue: "Xia Yuhuan is going to marry Chi Yanzhou in your place. Your father won't touch her for the time being so that the marriage can go smoothly. Don't do anything rash. Once things are settled, you can deal with her as you please."

"Mom, I know. I failed today. I won't do anything reckless before she marries into the Chi family."

"But Mom, I'm a little worried. If Xia Yuhuan really marries into the Chi family and is protected by them, will I still be able to touch her?" Xia Zhuyu said worriedly.

"Ha, she's nothing but a lowly thing, a substitute bride sent to bring good luck. You really think she'll become the young mistress of the Chi family after she marries into the family? Don't dream!" Li Rouyue said with a face full of disdain.

"The Chi family is desperate and will try anything, even believing in things like marriage to bring good luck, which is why they are in such a hurry to get Chi Yanzhou married."

“If Xia Yuhuan marries into the Chi family and Chi Yanzhou doesn’t wake up, then she will be useless to the Chi family. Who knows how the Chi family will despise her then? Don’t worry, the Chi family will never treat her well, and she will never have a good life.”

Xia Zhuyu nodded gently upon hearing this: "Mom, you're right. I'll put up with her for a couple more days and then figure out a way to deal with her after she gets married."

"Okay, don't worry about her. Mom wants to talk to you about finding you a boyfriend," Li Rouyue said.

"Mom, why would I need to find a partner? I'm not in a hurry, I..." Xia Zhuyu immediately objected.

Li Rouyue was not surprised by her reaction, and simply said, "The other party is called Chi Zhenghao. He is Chi Yanzhou's cousin and the most outstanding young talent in the Chi family besides Chi Yanzhou."

"Since Chi Yanzhou has an accident and won't wake up, Chi Zhenghao is the most likely person to become the heir of the Chi family."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhuyu was immediately captivated.

"Then...then I'll listen to Mom and go see him."

Even though no one was around, Xia Zhuyu's voice was filled with shyness.

If she marries Chi Zhenghao, she and Xia Yuhuan will become sisters-in-law.

When her husband inherits the Chi family, he will have a bright future and endless glory, while Xia Yuhuan will only be able to live a life of widowhood while being in a vegetative state. Xia Zhuyu felt secretly delighted just thinking about it.

She wanted to trample Xia Yuhuan under her feet and make sure she could never rise again.

Xia Zhuyu didn't know why she felt so hostile towards Xia Yuhuan, but she just had a feeling that Xia Yuhuan absolutely couldn't get better.

Seeing that the room was filled with gossip and no useful information could be heard, Xia Yuhuan simply stopped eavesdropping and returned to her room.

Back in her room, Xia Yuhuan raised her hand and touched her ear.

"Is my hearing more sensitive, or is the soundproofing in this room bad? I felt like I was listening to a live performance just now, without any obstruction," Xia Yuhuan muttered softly.

She couldn't figure it out, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

"Let's go in and take a look at my space." Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up, and she quickly immersed her consciousness into the space.

The scene before her eyes changed, and Xia Yuhuan appeared in the space.

The space doesn't look very big, about the size of three standard basketball courts.

There was a pool in the corner, and next to the pool was a dilapidated wooden house.

The house was too dilapidated for Xia Yuhuan to accept, and she didn't know what use it was.

"Could this be the spiritual spring water that's standard in this space?" Xia Yuhuan's eyes sparkled as she muttered softly.

She squatted down, scooped up a handful of water, and drank it.

The spring water tastes sweet and is very delicious.

She drank two more handfuls of water and could clearly feel that she felt more energetic.

It seems that this spring water has a refreshing effect.

As for whether it has any other effects, we'll have to wait for her to try it out in the future to make a judgment.

Xia Yuhuan stood up, looked at the vast wasteland, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Such a large open space cannot be wasted. It must be developed to grow things, including grains, vegetables, and fruits. We will definitely be able to be self-sufficient in the future."

"We can also grow some medicinal herbs. With more varieties, we won't have to worry about facing the predicament of having no medicine to use even when we are away from home."

"We also need to find a way to build a laboratory for researching medicinal materials in the space, and we need to start medical and pharmaceutical experiments again. We can't let it go to waste."

Xia Yuhuan muttered to herself, listing out all the things she needed to do in the future.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhuan went inside the dilapidated house and took a look around.

Unfortunately, the dilapidated house was empty, with nothing inside, and Xia Yuhuan couldn't see anything, so she had to give up.

Xia Yuhuan had just finished looking at the space and returned to her room when she heard a knock on the door.
