Chapter 1572 Exposed
As Qiao Mei hummed a tune at home, Xia He also felt happier. They did not know if this plan could stall Qiao Yu for a while, but they definitely felt much more relaxed without Qiao Yu watching them from the corner.
"Do you think we've gone too far?" Xia He asked.
"It's all of her own doing. We only gave Su Yang a boost. She could have chosen to be sent back, but she chose to stay for the sake of those benefits. She has chosen this path herself. It's not like we forced her to do it," Qiao Mei said.
"That's right. How big a reward do you think the mastermind is giving her? She's even willing to marry Su Yang!" Xia He lamented.
"It can only be money and something she wants. The only people who can offer such a reward are the He and Du families. I just don't know who the actual mastermind is," Qiao Mei said as she massaged the spot between her eyebrows.
"But why not the Song family?" Xia He asked curiously.
Other than Song Dan, the only child of the Song family who showed promise, none of the other family members were capable of anything. It was already good enough if they did not cause trouble for Song Dan. In addition, Song Dan needed the Xia family's "divine medicine" now, so he would not force the Xia family into a corner. He also needed to take care of Old Master Song, so he did not have the time and energy to come up with such a scheme.
Moreover, Du Miao had previously done an investigation on Song Dan's background. All these years, Song Dan had to rely on Du Miao to gain a foothold in the capital. The Song family was actually just the Du family's lackey.
"Let's wait and see if she'll be back here tomorrow," Qiao Mei said.
Early the next morning, Qiao Yu came to Qiao Mei's house, looking disheveled. She rushed towards Qiao Mei's bedroom angrily and Xia He immediately blocked the door, saying, "What are you doing! Is this a place where you can come in! Get lost!"
Qiao Yu did not hear her at all. She glared at Qiao Mei with bloodshot eyes, wishing that she could kill Qiao Mei and avenge herself!
When Qiao Mei saw how Qiao Yu looked, she knew that Su Yang had succeeded last night. It seemed that Su Yang was quite a randy one. This happened much faster than Qiao Mei expected. She had thought that she would be able to stall Qiao Yu for at least a few days.
"What are you doing here?" Qiao Mei asked.
After Qiao Yu calmed down, she said, "You must be the one who asked Su Yang to come to the capital."
"It doesn't matter if it's me or not. If you still want to stay here, then go and sit there obediently. Otherwise, you can get out. Don't be an eyesore here," Qiao Mei said impatiently.
Qiao Yu held on to her anger and silently left the bedroom to squat in the corner of the courtyard. She still had a chance. There was still one week left before the deadline the Du family gave her. As long as she could succeed in her task within the week, she would be able to escape from here.
"We've really made her angry this time. She won't let us off now," Xia He said helplessly.
"It's alright. I'm more worried that she'll let us off. That won't be good for us. Let's go ahead with the original plan. The two of us will go out tomorrow. Please inform Luo Yu that we'll set the plan in motion tomorrow," Qiao Mei said firmly.
Li Gui really could not take it anymore and left the front yard with her luggage to return to her own house. As long as she did not see anything, she would not ruin Qiao Mei's plan. If she still stayed in the courtyard house, she would definitely stop them from carrying out the plan!
Qiao Mei instructed Feng Hua and Xu Kang to strictly follow her plan.
The next morning, Qiao Mei and Xia He spent a long time in the courtyard. From time to time, in front of Qiao Yu, they would deliberately drop hints about going out today.
At noon, Qiao Mei dismissed the guard team from the courtyard, leaving only Da Zhuang to keep watch in the dark and report to them. The rest of the guard team were stationed nearby.
Feng Hua pretended to have a stomachache and ran out of the children's room. At noon, Qiao Qiang would take a long nap and would not notice what was happening in the front yard.
Qiao Yu tiptoed to the two children's room. Outside the house, Qiao Mei watched Qiao Yu's every move vigilantly through the vines. If Qiao Yu tried to kill the children, she could immediately protect them.
Qiao Yu only took a look at the two children before going into Qiao Mei's room. Holding a backpack in her hands, she opened the drawers of Qiao Mei's dressing table and looked at the dazzling array of jewelry inside.
Some time ago, when she was inside the house, she happened to see Qiao Mei putting away some jewelry. In any case, she would definitely be hunted down by the Xia family after she succeeded in her task, so she might as well take some valuable items with her.
