“Alright, alright. You’re already such a grown girl, yet you’re still crying like a baby. If Deng Fan sees that, he won’t want you anymore! You won’t look good if you cry too much G’ Xu Lan comforted her with a smile.

“He won’t 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. There’s no hurry to catch up now,” Qiao Mei said.

When Xia He passed by the study, she heard Xia Jun scolding someone inside. She held Qiao Mei’s hand and asked softly, “What is Grandfather doing? Who is he so angry with on the phone? Don’t tell me it’s because of my issue!”

“No, it’s related to Third Uncle’s family. Third Uncle is in the room. Don’t 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 night’s 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 won’t. They’re just in a state of recovery. Mother, don’t worry. Each of them has drunk a lot of medicinal wine and won’t fall sick. The scars on Xia He’s face have also been treated with medicinal wine, so there won’t 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 Mei’s 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 gratitude 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 worship Qiao Mei for generations.

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

“Sigh… I just don’t know how to thank you,” Xu Lan said embarrassedly.

“There’s nothing to thank me for. I’m the Xia family’s daughter-in-law, so I’m 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 shouldn’t have treated you like that…” Xu Lan said repentantly.

“Isn’t that only because we don’t know each other then? Mother, don’t feel so burdened,” Qiao Mei said.

Xu Lan nodded. She decided to put in her will to give all her assets 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?”

“We’re here to look for Xia He and Xu Lan! 1 know they’re all inside! Let us in!” the person at the door shouted impatiently.

“No! You can’t just come in! You haven’t said why you’re 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 I’m here for! You’re wearing an apron… so you must be the helper! How dare a helper talk to me in this manner! Do you believe that I’ll 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.

“What’s the matter? Why is it so noisy,” Qiao Mei said as she walked over in disdain.

“They’re the ones who are unreasonable…” Xu Kang whispered aggrievedly.

“l wonder who’s at the door?” Qiao Mei asked.

“You don’t even know us? We’re 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-class society of Hu City this year and could at most be considered nouveau riche.

“So it’s the Cao family. I wonder why you’re here?” Qiao Mei asked politely.

“I’m here to propose marriage! My younger brother and your family’s 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 relationship does our Xia He have with your brother?” Qiao Mei asked Cao Kuan, totally at a loss..
