After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1404 Leaving Here On Their Backs

Chapter 1404 Leaving Here On Their Backs

"I've already poured the medicine into the water. It would really be wasteful if you don't drink it. Besides, I have a lot of this at home and we won't run out. Just drink it," Qiao Mei persuaded him.

When Xia Wen heard what Qiao Mei said, he felt less apprehensive. The moment he drank the liquid, he felt a sense of warmth all over his body and his mind instantly cleared up, as if he had not even touched a drop of alcohol at all.

No wonder this medicine could save Xia Mao's life back then. The medicinal effect was indeed powerful!

This "divine medicine", which was a rarity in the eyes of outsiders, was no different from drinking water in the Xia family. As long as Qiao Mei was willing to supply it, the Xia family could drink ginseng juice every day in the future. Each member of the family could probably live to be more than 100 years old!

Although Xia Wen was curious about where Qiao Mei got all these ginsengs, he did not want to take the initiative to raise the issue with her. If Qiao Mei wanted to tell them, she would naturally find an opportunity to do so. If Qiao Mei did not want to tell them, he did not want to interfere in this matter.

He was very clear about one thing now. Qiao Mei was wholeheartedly devoted to the Xia family. She loved Xia Zhe deeply and even gave the Xia family two cute children. No matter what the Xia family did, Qiao Mei would always stand by their side. That was enough for him. Everything else was not important at all.

"Hmph, I'll go back and drink to the end with them now! Let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves!" Xia Wen said furiously.

"Eldest Brother, don't you think that all of them are behaving strangely today?" Qiao Mei lowered her head as she thought about it.

It was indeed a little weird. Drinks were served at engagement banquets as a way to liven things up, but this was the first time she had seen people drink like the Shao family. Even at a banquet in the countryside, there was no such custom.

It was indeed embarra.s.sing for the Xia family members to drink so much at an event and lose their composure, but the way the Shao family tried to get all the Xia family members drunk was way too shameless. If word got out, people would gossip behind their backs!

Based on how Shao Yin described the Shao family, this was a family which valued their reputation very much and would not do such a nasty thing. No matter how idiotic they were, they should know that they should not do such a thing.

"You're right, but I just can't figure out what exactly they want," Xia Wen said with a frown.

"Can it be our family's money?" Xu Lan suddenly said.

"It's possible. I walked around the house just now. There are so many valuable things on display in this house. Anyone would be tempted by these things, and it's no surprise if they covet them. However, these things are not really that valuable," Xia Fang a.n.a.lyzed.

Just as everyone was thinking about which valuable items the Shao family could want to take from Qiao Mei's house, Liu Fen suddenly said, "Hey! Do you think they want Qiao Mei's 'divine medicine'?"

This dawned on everyone as a possibility. Otherwise, given that only Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe knew the exact location of the most valuable things in this house, how could the Shao family know so much?

However, the "divine medicine" was a separate matter. Everyone in the capital wanted it. It was not impossible for someone to have offered a high price to the Shao family to steal a bottle from this house. The Tan family had done the same thing back then.

"Don't worry. Those things are kept away very carefully. They definitely won't be able to find the location," Qiao Mei said confidently.

"So what if they find out? I'll make sure that although they walk in today, they'll leave this place on their backs later!" Xia Wen said with a cold smile. When Xia Wen said that, Qiao Mei seemed to catch a glimpse of an image of the Lord of h.e.l.l in charge of life and death. It was as if whoever Xia Wen wanted dead would have to die and would not be allowed to stay alive for even another 15 minutes.

Qiao Mei put a few more drops of the 10,000-year-old ginseng juice into the porcelain tea jar and also asked Xia Wen to apply some 100-year-old ginseng juice to his philtrum right under his nose. Every time Xia Wen took a breath, he felt refreshed and no longer uncomfortable.

Xia Wen returned to the banquet first to continue dealing with the Shao family members. Qiao Mei secretly went to the doors of the rooms where Shao Yin and Xia Xing were. The two of them were still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.

Could she have guessed wrongly this time? Shao Yin seemed really drunk.

"I'm back! Come! Let's continue drinking!" Xia Wen said as he walked back unsteadily, like he was feeling disoriented! It was all just an act that he put on for them.

When Shao Tu and Shao Xian saw that Xia Wen looked even worse than before, they became very happy. Shao Tu immediately said, "I'm going to the toilet! My son will drink with you first!"

"Sure, sure, sure! Hurry up and come back quickly!" Xia Wen was even starting to slur when he spoke.
