1090 Punishment

When Xia Wen heard the screams, he hurriedly rushed over. He was shocked by the scene in front of him. Tan Jing, who would not even dare to slaughter a chicken at home, actually wanted to kill Qiao Mei!

“What are you waiting for! Quickly tie her up with a rope!” Xia He turned and shouted angrily at Xia Wen as she held Tan Jing down.

Xia Wen stood rooted to the spot and felt at a loss. That was his wife after all. How could he tie her up?

Xia He did not have time to waste with Xia Wen and asked Qiao Mei to go into the room to get some rope. Qiao Mei quickly ran to the bedroom and found some thick hemp rope under the bed and handed it to Xia He. Without another word, Xia He tied Tan Jing up.

“Xia He! Let go of me! I won’t let you off! Ugh!!!” Before Tan Jing could say anything more, Xia He stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.

This woman was so noisy that it gave her a headache. Tan Jing wriggled on the ground like a worm. Xia He tied Tan Jing to a table leg at the side so that she could not move.

There was nothing that Xia Wen could do about this. Even if he wanted Xia He to let Tan Jing off, Tan Jing had wanted to kill Qiao Mei just now. Given that she had made such a huge mistake, there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to protect her.

When everyone in the backyard heard the commotion, they hurriedly rushed to the front yard. Qiao Qiang and Xia Jun were at the forefront, both of them worried about Qiao Mei’s safety.

Once Qiao Qiang reached the door and saw that Qiao Mei was safe and sound, he said to Xia Jun with a dark expression, “What a fantastic granddaughter-in-law you have. This is the second time she has tried to take my granddaughter’s life. Her mother has also been here once. Altogether, they have already done this at least four times. This is your family matter, so I’ll leave it to you. I’m going back to take a rest.”

The underlying meaning of his words was that he blamed Xia Jun for everything. It was not acceptable for a Qiao family member to join the Xia family just to suffer grievances. These people had been coming to create trouble every few days and even wanted to get Qiao Mei killed. If the Xia family could continue tolerating such behavior, then Qiao Qiang must make a move to demand an explanation from the Xia family.

Although it looked as if Qiao Qiang spent all his time in the backyard and occasionally went for walks in the park, he knew everything that was going on at home. He did not want to worry about it because Qiao Mei was able to handle it well, but if anyone wanted to hurt Qiao Mei, he would be the first to take action!

Xia Jun walked into the house with a dark expression and slowly walked up to Tan Jing with his walking stick. Tan Jing curled up in a corner and looked up at Xia Jun with a murderous aura. His eyes seemed to be able to see through Tan Jing’s heart. In front of Xia Jun, she had no chance of winning at all. She was like an egg that could be smashed with a light tap.

“Xia He, bring Qiao Mei into the room. The rest of you, stand at the side.” Xia Jun came to the master seat opposite the main door and slowly sat down.

Tan Jing was now tied up like a dumpling and could not move at all. She could only lean against the table leg and sit there uncomfortably to look at the people in the room.

Xia He helped Qiao Mei back into the bedroom. No one would not be able to plead for leniency on Tan Jing’s behalf. Now that Xia Jun was made aware, it would not even be enough for Tan Jing to have 10 lives.

“I’m already old and I don’t want to care about the family affairs anymore, but look at what all of you have done! Do you intend to anger me to death!” Xia Jun growled angrily.

Xia Mao quickly said, “Father, it’s all my fault. I haven’t disciplined my children well.”

“Xiao Wen, tell me what you think and what you’re planning,” Xia Jun asked Xia Wen.

The question which Xia Wen had heard the most today was about what he planned to do. He was also in a mess and did not know how to resolve these matters. The Tan family refused to let go and Tan Jing was also very stubborn nowadays. Xia Wen was really at a loss.

“If you don’t speak, then I’ll decide for you. I’ve also heard a little about the issues with the Tan family. All these years, your father has also come to me for help at times. I don’t think he has ever told you about it. I don’t care about the Tan family’s matters, but I have to give Qiao Mei an explanation today. I can’t let it go so easily,” Xia Jun said with a frown.
