After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 1406 Using Aphrodisiacs
Shao Tu also realized he had gone overboard with his words and quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I had too much to drink! I thought that I was talking to my wife! I usually speak like this at home. I'm really sorry!"
After he said this, the expressions of everyone in the Xia family became even darker. Shao Tu actually thought that Qiao Mei was his wife. He should take a good look at himself in the mirror! Could he even say such things out loud!
"Please continue drinking. I'm going to coax the baby." Xia Wen did not even look at the Shao family members as he carried Xia Xing and walked towards the backyard. Xia He did not leave immediately. Instead, she clapped her hands and called for the guard team outside the door to come in and surround the Shao family members.
"Hey! Xia Wen!" Shao Tu wanted to grab Xia Wen and better explain himself. However, he was so drunk that he could not even stand properly on his feet. He could only watch as the Xia family members walked further and further away, leaving only the Shao family members in the courtyard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXu Kang went to hide in a corner of the courtyard to eavesdrop on the Shao family members' conversation. She wanted to help Qiao Mei keep an eye on these people who had no sense of propriety!
"Look at you! Why did you say those things! Look at what happened! You've offended the Xia family!" Shao Zhuang complained as he looked at Shao Tu.
"You still have the cheek to criticize me! If it's not because you begged me to help you with this matter, do you think I'll be willing to do it? Can't you see how much liquor my son and I have to drink?" Shao Tu said furiously.
"Did I beg you? Didn't I agree to give you benefits? Don't act innocent after taking advantage of me!" Shao Zhuang said.
Seeing that the two of them were about to get into a fight, Shao Chun immediately said, "We're still in the Xia family's house! Quickly think of a way to make up for it! Are we really going to have an internal strife right now? It's more important to get this matter done and dusted!"
Neither Shao Tu nor Shao Zhuang wanted to give in to each other and the two of them refused to look at each other. For a moment, everyone in the Shao family fell silent.
As soon as Xia Xing was put into Xia Wen's arms, she fell asleep. There was no need to expend any effort to coax her. People always said that daughters were their fathers' lovers in their past lives. Qiao Mei thought that Xia Xing must have been Xia Wen's lover in her past life!
Xia Wen handed the sleeping Xia Xing over to Xu Lan. Xia Xing had already cried twice and her face was no longer as smooth as before. Her voice was also a little hoarse by now. Qiao Mei hurriedly diluted two drops of 50-year-old ginseng juice in water and gave the drink to Xia Xing to moisten her throat. Children could not drink ginseng juice that was too aged as the effects might be too strong for them.
"What have you discovered this time?" Xia Wen asked as he looked at Qiao Mei. If it was not something important, Qiao Mei would not torment Xia Xing repeatedly. It must be related to the Xia family's honor and his personal safety.
"Well… the Shao family was about to put some drugs into your drink. When I passed by the toilet on my way back just now, I heard someone talking about drugging you," Qiao Mei said in a shy manner.
"Poison! They intend to murder my eldest brother!" Xia He said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.
Qiao Mei quickly explained, "No, no! It's not that kind of drug!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Huh? Then what kind of drug is that? Is it sedatives? Is the Shao family full of fools? What's the use of only knocking out Xia Wen?" Xu Lan guessed.
"Xia Wen is the only man in this house at the moment! If Xia Wen is knocked out and Xia Xing is already drunk, then the few of us women are no match for those men from the Shao family!" Liu Fen said fearfully.
"Second Aunt-in-law, what are you afraid of? I've taken lessons from Eldest Aunt for a period of time when I was young. Moreover, there are security guards protecting us nearby. Nothing will happen to us," Xia He said.
Everyone kept making guesses but Qiao Mei, the only one who knew the truth, remained silent. Her ears had even turned slightly red. Xia Fang asked tentatively, "Aphrodisiac?"
"Yes, the Shao family intends to give Eldest Brother… an aphrodisiac…" Qiao Mei said.
Everyone gasped. They did not expect the Shao family to have taken a fancy to Xia Wen! Then again, it was not surprising to them that the Shao family felt that Xia Xing was not even half as useful as Xia Wen.
Xia Wen was the eldest son of the Xia family's most valued eldest son and also Xia Jun's favorite grandson. He had tagged alongside Xia Jun and Xia Mao since he was young and they had long announced publicly that he was the future head of the Xia family. Moreover, Xia Wen's career was also thriving. Anyone would be attracted to Xia Wen.
"What about Shao Yin? What's Shao Yin doing now? No, I have to go and take a look at her!" Xia He said anxiously.
"Don't go! If we go now, we'll be alerting the enemy! We should think about it at length and find a way to get rid of the Shao family in one fell swoop!" Xia Fang said sternly.
