“You still can smile! Why didn’t you stop Qiao Mei from doing this! She’s still young and doesn’t have any sense of appropriateness. Are you also a child?” Xia Fang reprimanded.

“…I can’t persuade her either,” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei stood in front of Xia Fang and said, “Aunt, this has nothing to do with elder sister. She kept stopping me from going and even protected me.”

Xia Fang completely ignored what Qiao Mei said. This matter was just Xia He’s fault.

“Go and wait at one side. I’ll settle the score with you later! I’ll teach her a lesson first,” Xia Fang said as she stood up.

Xia He walked purposefully to one side and stood still. This was the Xia family’s usual method of punishment.

“Do you know what you have done wrong?” Xia Fang stood in front of Xia He with a ruler.

Xia He stretched out her hands and said warily, “I shouldn’t have allowed Qiao Mei to do anything dangerous. I didn’t tell Xia Zhe about this immediately. I knew that this was a very dangerous matter, but I still went with Qiao Mei.”

Xia Fang weighed the ruler in her hand. She just wanted to scare Xia He. During this period of time which Xia He spent running around with Qiao Mei lawlessly, she had almost forgotten her sense of propriety.

“I won’t hit you. Just stand here for a while and think about what your grandfather taught you.” After saying that, Xia Fang walked up to Qiao Mei.

“Your turn,” Xia Fang said as she stared at Qiao Mei sternly.

“I… um… Aunt, you just came back and haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go make you something to eat now. Aunt, please don’t be angry.” Qiao Mei slowly moved towards the kitchen.

Xia Fang sat on the sofa and sighed. She could not do anything about this Qiao Mei. If she scolded the girl, she would feel bad as well. There was really nothing she could do.

How could it be foolproof to let Qian’e kidnap Qiao Mei when the plan was to get rid of her babies? If anything should happen to the babies, it could easily affect Qiao Mei too. This was no joking matter.

Qiao Mei could not bear to see Xia Fang looking so dejected while sitting on the sofa. She knew that she had gone overboard in this matter, but if she did not do this, He Mei would continue to harm her.

The He family would feel uneasy as long as she was not eliminated. As long as she was safe and sound, He Mei would continue to harm her by using any means necessary. Qian’e was the one being made use of today, who would it be tomorrow?

She might as well catch them all in one fell swoop. That way, she could finally feel at ease.
