When Qiao Mei was walking back, she happened to bump into Shao Tu, who was heading to the toilet. The way that Shao Tu was behaving sneakily made Qiao Mei suspicious. She quickly went forward and asked, "Uncle Shao, where are you going? Do you need me to bring you there?"

"No need, no need! I'm just going to the toilet. It'll just take me a moment! I remember the way. You can go and join them in the front yard," Shao Tu said nervously.

Qiao Mei nodded slightly and turned her body sideways to make way for Shao Tu. He quickly rushed towards the toilet. After watching him close the door, she tiptoed to the kitchen.

A long time ago, she had grown plants all around and spread out their roots beneath the entire courtyard house. She could easily observe her surroundings with the help of the plants' vision.

After Shao Tu entered the toilet, he stuck his fingers forcefully into his throat and tried his best to throw up all the liquor he had just drunk. After vomiting out most of it, he slowly leaned against the wall.

"What a beast! He already drank so much and yet he's still fine! Is he made of alcohol? He's not a human!" Shao Tu complained.

He and Shao Xian were the ones who had been drinking with Xia Wen the entire time. Shao Zhuang did not drink much at all. If not for the fact that the two of them took turns to go to the toilet and throw up, he would have collapsed on the ground long ago!

Just as Qiao Mei thought that Shao Tu had just gone to the toilet to vent his frustrations in private, she suddenly saw him taking something out of his pocket. It looked familiar… She seemed to have seen this packaging before…

An aphrodisiac! What was the Shao family doing with this? Could it be…

Qiao Mei was shocked. She did not expect the Shao family to have planned to do such a thing in her house. No wonder they kept forcing Xia Wen to drink. However, who was the main character they were targeting? Could it be that they had designs on one of the Xia family members? Could it be Xia He…

Shao Yin was already going to marry Xia Xing. She had heard that Shao Xian was still not married. Although Xia He and Deng Fan were going to get married, their parents had not met up officially and the two of them had not gone to register their marriage yet. Technically, Xia He was still single.

She did not expect the Shao family to be so insatiable even with their daughter marrying into the family of the Xia family's third son. They had now even set their sights on the only daughter of the Xia family's eldest son! What wishful thinking! The Shao family wanted to get their hands on both of them! Indeed, one really could not underestimate the greed in human hearts.

Qiao Mei took control of the vines and manipulated them to climb up the wall of the guest room where Shao Yin was staying. Then, she quietly extended a thin branch through the window. With Qiao Mei's original ability, she could only use the vines like they were her own eyes to observe the movements in the room. However, with the butterfly mark, she had gained a new ability.

The two abilities could be used together. Using the vine branch, Qiao Mei could see Shao Yin even if she was under the blanket. Shao Yin had taken off all her clothes, including her underwear. She was totally naked and staring intently at the door! She was not drunk at all!

How disgusting! Qiao Mei had just bought the set of bedding and blanket and it was still brand new! She would have to burn everything after Shao Yin left. What a jinx!

However, why was Shao Yin doing this? Could it be that the female lead in the Shao family's plan was not Xia He, but Shao Yin? Then that would mean the male lead was Xia Wen!

When Qiao Mei finally came back to her senses, Shao Tu had already come out of the toilet. By the time Qiao Mei chased after him, he had already sat down at the table and picked up his glass to continue drinking with Xia Wen.

Qiao Mei ran back to the backyard again and carried Xia Xing out. She muttered softly, "Baby, don't blame Mom. You're saving your eldest uncle's life! Don't blame me!"

Xia Xing's acting skills were as good as before. As soon as she was in front of Xia Wen, she burst into tears. Her loud cries even managed to make Qiao Mei flustered. If she did not know that this little baby was just acting, she would have rushed her to the hospital.

"Eldest Brother, come and take a look at her. She's crying again!" Qiao Mei said anxiously.

Just as Shao Tu was about to put the drugs into Xia Wen's glass, he was interrupted by Qiao Mei again. He was so angry that he stood up, pointed at Qiao Mei and scolded, "Do you know how to coax a child or not! How can a grown man be the one taking care of a child! If you can't take care of the baby, then get lost! Don't disturb us while we're having a meal here!"

Xia Wen's face instantly fell. At the next table, Xia He also slammed down the glass in her hand and stood up with a whoosh to glare at Shao Tu. Qiao Mei hugged Xia Xing and stared intently at Shao Tu without saying a word. The temperature in the surroundings seemed to have dropped to sub-zero in an instant.

"Oh no! My husband drank too much! He has said something wrong! He didn't mean it that way. Please don't take it to heart!" Huang Ning quickly ran over and said.
