Chapter 1411 Self-directed Show
If Xia He and Qiao Mei knew what Shao Chun was thinking, they would definitely feel nauseated there and then. It was so true that birds of a feather always flocked together. These people were all cut from the same cloth.
The Shao family already held Xia Xing within their grasp, but the other women still set their sights on the other men from the Xia family's third son's family. No one knew why the third son's family was so unlucky to have encountered these insatiable gluttons from the Shao family.
"Qiao Mei, your house is so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful house! I'm guessing that Shao Yin's house probably looks similar to yours," Bian Duo said enviously.
"It must be! When the repairs on our Shao Yin's siheyuan courtyard house are done, it will definitely look even nicer than this place! This is such an old courtyard house," Shao Chun said smugly.
Qiao Mei did not reply and just smiled faintly at the Shao family members. Even now, they were still thinking about getting a siheyuan courtyard house. In a moment, there might not even be a wedding anymore!
At first, Qiao Mei brought Bian Duo and the others to a room that was very close to Qiao Qiang's quarters. This room was dark and damp and there were even spider webs in the corners. Qiao Mei had instructed Xu Kang to make it look like this so as to incite the Shao family to go through with their "plan".
"Oh no, this room is not suitable for use. It'll take a long time to clear out other rooms for you. What can we do!" Qiao Mei said embarrassedly.
"It's fine! In that case, we'll just go and stay with Shao Yin. You don't have to do anything!" Shao Chun said quickly.
This was exactly what they wanted! Otherwise, if they had to find a reason to go to Shao Yin's room to catch the couple in the act, it would look very fishy. Given the current situation, it was as if the heavens were also helping them!
"That's a good idea. I'm really sorry for not being a good host. Aunties, please accept my apologies," Qiao Mei said.
"We're already going to be a family. There's no need to stand on ceremony between us! You should go back to your own room too. It's so cold at night. I remember you just gave birth not long ago? You should avoid the cold wind," Bian Duo instructed.
If Qiao Mei did not know about the tricks which the Shao family had up their sleeves, she might have been touched by what Bian Duo said. If only the Shao family had behaved themselves, they might have been able to enjoy endless wealth and status, but now, they probably would not be able to get anything.
Qiao Mei took the opportunity to lead Xia He into Qiao Qiang's room. As soon as they entered, she quickly closed the door. Qiao Mei went to get a stool while Xia He went to switch off the lights. The two of them worked together like they had a tacit agreement.
Qiao Qiang's room was directly opposite Shao Yin's room. From his room, Qiao Mei and Xia He could see everything that was happening there.
"Why are the two of you leaning against the window sill? Why do you need to switch off the lights?" Qiao Qiang asked confusedly as he sat on the brick bed with his book. Xia He had switched off the lights so quickly that he did not have time to react. Qiao Mei did not inform him in advance about what they were doing.
"Grandpa Qiao! Come and take a look! The show is about to start!" Xia He said excitedly as she pointed out of the window. This was the first time she had seen such an exciting thing happening with her own eyes!
Qiao Qiang leaned against the window sill with the two women. Even though three heads had suddenly appeared at the window in unison, the Shao family members did not notice them at all.
Shao Chun held the door handle nervously. She had often heard stories of the older women in the village catching adulterous couples in the act, but it felt totally different when it was her turn to do such a thing today.
"Go in, quick… If you hesitate any longer, it'll be too late!" Huang Ning said anxiously.
"Second Sister-in-law, it's easy for you to talk! Then you go in and do it! I'm really scared," Shao Chun said.
Actually, Huang Ning did not dare to do it either. However, before they all came to attend this banquet, Shao Zhuang had promised her that if their family succeeded in this matter, Shao Yin would look for a girl among the Xia family's rich relatives to become Shao Xian's wife. When that happened, her family would be able to live a good life too.
She must do it for Shao Xian's future happiness! No matter how nervous or afraid she was, she must overcome the feelings. Huang Ning pushed open the door forcefully. With the light shining in from outside the room, everyone could see that there were two people lying on the bed. When they could make out clearly that it was a man and a woman, Huang Ning yelled out loudly.
"Ah!!!" Huang Ning screamed as she pointed at the people on the bed.
"What's wrong! What happened!" Shao Chun pretended not to know anything and hurriedly ran into the room. She took the cue from Huang Ning and pointed at the man on the bed, saying, "What a beast! You deserve to be slashed a thousand times! The two of you are not married yet! You… Why are you so impatient! You have ruined the innocence of our Shao family's girl!"
