Chapter 2279: Poisoning Again

Editor: Atlas Studios

“What are you doing here? Or rather, what have you already done?” Xia He questioned.

“Since you’re so capable, you can investigate it yourself. I won’t say anything,” Tan Jing said arrogantly.

Qiao Mei looked at the time and hurried to the backyard. Tan Jing had already been tied up by Xia He and left at the side. The rest of the people had gathered around the ingredients on the table and they all looked troubled.

“What happened?” Qiao Mei asked despite knowing what had happened.

“Tan Jing has tampered with today’s dishes! She’s very tight-lipped and we don’t know which ingredients are the problematic ones. It’s almost time to start the banquet and if we don’t serve the dishes soon, the people outside will think of us as a joke,” Xia He said in distress.

Qiao Mei looked at the plants nearby. She had no hand in the plants here. Tan Jing had done the poisoning when she was in a blind spot, so Qiao Mei could not use the memories of the plants to determine where the poison was placed.

She touched the necklace around her neck. This was one of the items left behind by Gao Tao. Qiao Mei realized that the function of this necklace was similar to a X-ray detector in her other life. Through information like the density, material and thickness of an object, she could obtain information about the internal structure of the object. If there was poison on something, she could see where the poison was sprayed.

There was nothing wrong with the ingredients on the table. Qiao Mei looked at the water vat that was glowing with a faint green light and smiled as she said, “You’re really a creature of habit. The method you used is so old-fashioned and you still like to put poison into the water vat. I’m guessing you haven’t had time to deal with the container containing the poison. This time, you won’t be able to escape.”

“Asshole! Fortunately, all the guests are drinking wine! Otherwise, the poison would have acted up by now! There’s even children here! Do you want to poison the children too!” Xia He said furiously.

Tan Jing did not care about those things at all. It did not matter to her how many people died. What was more important was to embarrass the Xia family and make them bear the crime of poisoning others! As long as she could put the Xia family in a situation that was beyond redemption, so what if she lost her own life?

“She won’t respond to you. The most important thing now is the banquet. Go and get a few new water vats and fill them up with water!” Qiao Mei instructed in an orderly manner.

Zou Ming arrested Zhou Hua and Tan Jing upon Qiao Mei’s request. The banquet could finally start. After that, Xia Jun, Xia Mao and Xia Guang each went to give a speech and the wedding ceremony ended abruptly.

Qiao Mei looked on enviously. In her other life, she had been very curious about how the people of the older generation got married. Seeing the ceremony today satisfied her curiosity and at the same time, she also felt a little regretful.

Back then, when she forced Xia Zhe to marry her, she had gone through the wedding ceremony alone. The two of them did not even have a wedding photo. It was really a pity. It would be great if they could organize another wedding ceremony…

She wondered if Xia Zhe was doing well in Country M? How was he handling the matter? She hoped that everything would go smoothly.

At night, everyone returned to Xia Mao’s house. Xia Mao had specially rebuilt the backyard and turned all the rooms into guest rooms so that the Xia family members could gather together at his place during the holidays and did not have to seek accommodation outside.

“Tang Hui, I’m sorry for what happened today. Our Xia family did not take proper security measures and we’ve made you suffer,” Xia Jun said to Tang Hui apologetically.

Tang Hui had always felt that Xia Jun was very dignified and a man of his word. She could never imagine Xia Jun apologizing to others.

“It’s nothing. These are all accidents. No one can avoid accidents. Fortunately, Xia Guang and I are united,” Tang Hui said as she looked at Xia Guang with a blissful look.

Xia Guang grinned widely. Right now, he only had Tang Hui on his mind. He had been abused by Zhou Hua for so many years and had thought that all women were shrews like Zhou Hua.

Tang Hui had shown him a lot of respect today and did not display any unhappiness at all. She even praised him. He felt that he was the luckiest man in the world to marry such a wonderful woman. Even if Tang Hui asked him to go and die now, he would be willing to do it.

“You’re very sensible. I’m very happy to hear that.” Xia Jun took out a brocade box from his pocket.

Xia Wen took it and walked up to Tang Hui, saying, “This is a gift from Grandfather and Grandmother to their third daughter-in-law. It’s part of my grandmother’s dowry.”

There was a pair of superior jade bangles in the brocade box. The color and transparency were excellent and they looked very expensive.

Back then, Wu Min had prepared three pairs of bangles. Her plan was to give one pair to each of her three daughters-in-law, but she had held on to Zhou Hua’s share for a long time.

When Xia Guang and Zhou Hua got married, Xia Jun and Wu Min were not in agreement. However, the Xia family’s family motto was not to interfere with their children’s decisions. They tacitly let Xia Guang do what he wanted, but in their hearts, they did not accept Zhou Hua.
