    Zhang Qun nodded and said, “Yup, I’m serious.”


    “Then, what about Xia Chenn?”


    “I’m here. She’s not going to do anything to you.”


    “Okay. Then, split the n.”


    Xia Chenn said that she had money just now, so Madam Zhangli was thinking she wouldn’t need to use the money she had saved to seek treatment.


    After being chased out of the Xia n, the Zhang n split up.


    In order to get rid of Madam Zhangli who was a burden to them, the second and third sons very generously agreed to give Zhang Qun most of the farnds.


    By the time they were done splitting up the properties in the n, the sky had turned bright.


    The second and third sons of the Zhang n had left, while Xia Chenn was still waiting at the door of the Xia n.


    When the gates opened, she charged into the house again.


    Xia Chengzhu wanted to chase her out, but Xia Chenn sneered, “If you dare to chase me out now, I will let everyone know about the ugly secrets of the Xia n. Let’s see how you’re going to continue being the chief of the Xia n when that happens!”


    Xia Chengzhu’s expression turned dark. “Try me!”


    “Don’t think that I’m not prepared. I dare to step into this door because I’m not afraid of you trying to kill me. If I die, you won’t be able to stay alive as well. Murderers have to pay with their own lives. I’m sure you don’t want to give away the fruits of yourbor, right?”


    “You think I don’t dare to kill you?”


    “You should know better than me how dad died, right?”


    Xia Chenn was actually just bluffing when she said that to Xia Chengzhu. She didn’t realize that she had identally uncovered the truth.


    Xia Chengzhu was shocked. The thought of killing Xia Chenn immediately rose up in his heart.


    “If you didn’te back with those Zhang n people, do you think he would have died from anger? Xia Chenn, I don’t me you for being ignorant because you grew up in the countryside. But I can’t believe that you can continue to be so shortsighted even after returning to the Xia n. You even did something as stupid as running away with an outsider. You are beyond saving. You don’t belong in the Xia n. Now, get out!”


    “Okay, great! If you dare to chase me out of the Xia can today, you can expect to see me at the front door of the governing bureau banging on the drums and seeking justice. I’ll ask them to open up dad’s coffin to check his body!”


    Xia Chenn learned this tactic from Zhao Chuchu. She remembered Zhao Chuchu saying that after her parents were killed, the government bureau investigated the case and found the murderer.


    Xia Chenn didn’t actually care about how Xia Songquan died.


    She had no feelings for Xia Songquan at all. She definitely wasn’t sad because of his death. She simply wanted the Xia n’s properties.


    However, her statement happened to attack the secret that Xia Chengzhu was most afraid of letting others know.


    “Xia Chenn, are you done?” Xia Chengzhu didn’t dare to force Xia Chenn anymore. He was afraid that she might really go to the government bureau and make a big fuss. If she did that, the rest of the Xia n would probably follow suit. If he was unable to suppress the noise, his deeds might actually get exposed.


    “This is the Xia n. From the day that you decided to run away, you no longer belong to the Xia n. You became a member of the Zhang n. I can give you a bit more money because we are siblings, but you can forget about anything more than that!”


    “The Xia n were salt merchants. I don’t know how much money we had. All I know is that the Xia n is extremely rich. I’m not going to let this go if you try to dismiss me like a beggar. I’m not a greedy person. All I’m asking from you is to make up for my dowry. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for, right?”


    Xia Chengzhu red at Xia Chenn, but Xia Chenn wasn’t afraid at all.


    At this point, she knew she wouldn’t be able to get anything substantial out of the Xia n, so she decided she was going to take whatever she could.


    The Zhang n had disbanded. If she could get arge sum of money from the Xia n, she would be able to live a good life in the future.


    “You ran away. There’s no dowry for that!”


    “Then, I’ll tell everyone that the Xia n chased me out because you despised me for having grown up in the countryside.”


    “You…”


    “Our father wouldn’t be able to rest in peace in the afterlife that way. Do you think he’lle back to haunt you?”


    Xia Chengzhu clenched his teeth.


    He was vicious and fierce, but he wasn’t intelligent.


    Otherwise, he should have been able to deal with Xia Chenn a long time ago given how foolish she was.


    Lu Ming stood aside and watched. He didn’t say a thing and simply let the two siblings quarrel.


    “Uncle Ming, what do you think?” Xia Chengzhu finally remembered the presence of Lu Ming and decided to ask for his opinion.


    “Based on tradition, girls need a dowry when they get married. But Chenn…”


    Lu Ming stopped his sentence midway.


    “You can speak your mind.”


    “Okay. I think Chenn should be given the dowry because that’s what she should have gotten. She was very young and innocent back then. She was swindled by an outsider because she didn’t know how evil people could be. Now, even her children have grown up. Sir, you don’t have many siblings. Just treat it as a way to appreciate your sister.”


    Lu Ming knew how Xia Songquan died as well.


    But he wasn’t going to expose Xia Chengzhu because he had his own ns.
