Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

But what if?

If Kong Lu really made up his mind to do it, then what would happen to elder sister?

Qiao Mei looked at Xia He worriedly but did not say anything. If she asked the question she was thinking of, it would feel as if she was looking forward to Xia He’s divorce. In this era when societal norms frowned on separation, if others heard what Qiao Mei said, they would think that Qiao Mei had bad intentions.

Xia He knew what Qiao Mei was worried about. She held Qiao Mei’s hand and said, “If he is really able to send them away, it will only be temporary. This whole matter will be an arduous battle. Even if Kong Lu is lucky enough to win in the end, his mother will still be ready to counterattack at any time.”

Qiao Mei nodded in admiration. This was really a child raised by a military family. Her choice of words were all so professional.

“He will need to pay a huge price just to get his mother to go back for the time being. When he’s injured and on his last breath, he will come and beg me not to get a divorce. At that time, he will view me as his lifesaver.”

Xia He spread her hand and reached out to grab the air. “At that moment, I’ll reject him and insist on getting a divorce. Then, his last hope will be shattered.”

Qiao Mei looked at Xia He in shock.?What a ruthless person.

However, given that Xia He had her own plans and intentions, there was no need for Qiao Mei to plan anything for Xia He.

After chatting briefly with Xia He, Qiao Mei went downstairs to help Liu Fen with the cooking. She was currently especially picky with food. She did not like food that was made by others and could not get used to the taste.

“What’s wrong with Second Aunt-in-law? Her culinary skills are too indescribable. Does she not cook at home? Based on her character, it doesn’t seem like it,” Qiao Mei looked at the kitchen and asked curiously.

“How can it be that she does not cook at home? Perhaps she doesn’t have any talent. Some people can’t cook well even if they do it all their lives,” Xia He said.

It seemed that Liu Fen was such a person.

Xia He silently raised her hand and said, “I’m such a person too.”

Another reason why Old Madam Kong looked down on her was because she did not know how to cook. The Xia family always had helpers who cooked for them. It was not just Xia He, even Xu Lan did not know how to cook.

Old Madam Kong could cook very well, but she just did not want to do it and always insisted that Xia He did the cooking. She despised Xia He’s cooking and would scold Xia He as she ate, but she still asked Xia He to cook every day.

Thinking about the past gave Xia He a headache. She shook her head vigorously and decided not to recall these memories anymore. She wanted to have a fresh start.

Qiao Mei walked into the kitchen. Xia Zhe also wanted to go over and help out, but he did not expect to be blocked by Zhou Hua the moment he got up.

“Um… Xiao Zhe, can Third Aunt-in-law ask you for something?” Zhou Hua stammered.

Xia Zhe could guess what Zhou Hua stopped him for.

“Third Aunt-in-law, you can go ahead and ask, but you know the Xia family’s rules. I can help you with things that are within our principles, but it’s best not to mention it if it’s not,” Xia Zhe said as he sat opposite Zhou Hua.

When Zhou Hua saw that Xia Zhe was willing to listen to her, she said excitedly, “Of course I won’t ask for something that’s not! It’s definitely within our principles!”

Xia Zhe looked at Zhou Hua and said, “Then what does Third Aunt-in-law want?”

“It’s just that… I heard that Qiao Mei has wild ginseng at home. Does she have any that are more than 30 years old? Can you give Third Aunt-in-law a few as I have an urgent use for them? I’ll pay you later!” Zhou Hua said seriously.

Xia Zhe did not expect Zhou Hua to be here asking for ginseng, but it was quite obvious what the ginseng was for.

“Why do you need ginseng? The act of giving gifts violates the Xia family’s principles,” Xia Zhe said.

Zhou Hua waved her hands and said, “No, no! Xiao Zhe, you’ve misunderstood! I’m buying it for my father! It’s just that his health has gotten worse recently, so I want to buy some ginseng for him as nourishment.”

“Then… how many do you want?” Xia Zhe asked.

“It’s definitely better to have more! It would be easy to finish one a month, otherwise what’s the point!” Zhou Hua made it sound as if wild ginseng was easy to come by and free to eat.

Even Xu Lan, who was sitting at the side, could not stand it anymore and said, “You talk about finishing one ginseng a month, and it’s even 30-year-old wild ginseng that you’re talking about. Aren’t you afraid of dying from too much nourishment? One ginseng can last ordinary people for a year!”
