Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Alright, alright. Youre already such a grown girl, yet youre still crying like a baby. If Deng Fan sees that, he wont want you anymore! You wont look good if you cry too much G Xu Lan comforted her with a smile.

He wont dare to Xia He said shyly.

l have asked Sister Xu to prepare bath water for all of you. Go and take a bath. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow. Theres no hurry to catch up now, Qiao Mei said.

When Xia He pa.s.sed by the study, she heard Xia Jun scolding someone inside. She held Qiao Meis hand and asked softly, What is Grandfather doing? Who is he so angry with on the phone? Dont tell me its because of my issue!

No, its related to Third Uncles family. Third Uncle is in the room. Dont worry about these things. Gop and take a medicinal bath! If you get sick, Mother will be so worried! Qiao Mei urged.

Everyone returned to their own rooms to freshen up and have a good nights sleep. Xia He and the others did not wake up even by the next evening. Xu Lan paced around the courtyard worriedly.

Will it hurt their brains to sleep for so long? Xu Lan asked.

No, it wont. Theyre just in a state of recovery. Mother, dont worry. Each of them has drunk a lot of medicinal wine and wont fall sick. The scars on Xia Hes face have also been treated with medicinal wine, so there wont be any scars, Qiao Mei said.

Xu Lan looked at Qiao Mei, not knowing how to thank her. In such a dangerous situation, if it was not for Qiao Meis medicinal wine, no one would have been able to make it back to the capital. Perhaps she would have lost a

daughter by now.

However, any words of grat.i.tude felt a little shallow. Qiao Mei had pulled Xia Mao back from the brink of death previously and now she had saved Xia He from the avalanche. Xu Lan wished that she could build a monument for Qiao Mei so that the descendants of the Xia family could wors.h.i.+p Qiao Mei for generations.

Mother? Why are you looking at me like that? Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Sigh I just dont know how to thank you, Xu Lan said embarra.s.sedly.

Theres nothing to thank me for. Im the Xia familys daughter-in-law, so Im also a member of the Xia family. This is what I should do, Qiao Mei said.

l will always remember your kindness. I just feel that when I first met you, I really shouldnt have treated you like that Xu Lan said repentantly.

Isnt that only because we dont know each other then? Mother, dont feel so burdened, Qiao Mei said.

Xu Lan nodded. She decided to put in her will to give all her a.s.sets to Qiao Mei in the future. No matter what other people told her, she must treat Qiao Mei well.

Knock, knock, knock!

Is anyone home?

There was a knock on the door. Xu Kang came to the door and asked, Who are you looking for?

Were here to look for Xia He and Xu Lan! 1 know theyre all inside! Let us in! the person at the door shouted impatiently.

No! You cant just come in! You havent said why youre here! Why should I let you in! Xu Kang shouted angrily.

Hey! How can you be so ungrateful! Do you know who I am! Do you know what Im here for! Youre wearing an ap.r.o.n so you must be the helper! How dare a helper talk to me in this manner! Do you believe that Ill get your employer to fire you! The person at the door pointed at Xu Kang and scolded her.

Qiao Mei asked Xu Lan to take a seat in the main hall first. She wanted to see who the nasty person at the door was.

Whats the matter? Why is it so noisy, Qiao Mei said as she walked over in disdain.

Theyre the ones who are unreasonable Xu Kang whispered aggrievedly.

l wonder whos at the door? Qiao Mei asked.

You dont even know us? Were the Cao family from Hu City! Cao Kuan said proudly.

Qiao Mei did not know much about Hu City, but she had heard of the Cao family. They could be considered one of the richer families in Hu City. They had only just started being active within the upper-cla.s.s society of Hu City this year and could at most be considered nouveau riche.

So its the Cao family. I wonder why youre here? Qiao Mei asked politely.

Im here to propose marriage! My younger brother and your familys Xia He are getting married. Quickly set a date for us to bring her back to Hu City, Cao Kuan said bluntly.

What? Get married? But Xia He is already married? How can she marry your younger brother? Besides, what kind of relations.h.i.+p does our Xia He have with your brother? Qiao Mei asked Cao Kuan, totally at a loss..
