After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2262: The Way to Escape Unscathed

Back then, the issue between the Xia family and Tan Jing had caused an uproar and everyone had thought of Tan Jing as the pitiful party. However, this might all just be a rumor spread by the Huang family.

Did it matter what the truth was? Everyone only saw what they wanted to see. The bigger the drama, the better. This way, the show was even more exciting.

Even if Tan Jing wanted to turn herself in, the Huang family would not allow it. The Huang family had said definitively earlier that Tan Jing had been at home and did not go out. If Tan Jing made changes to her statement, then they would become her accomplices! They would have committed perjury! Everyone in the family would have to go to jail!

"Even if she confesses, there's also no point. If the culprit is anyone else, it will be easy to handle. She is the only dicey one. We must definitely obtain conclusive evidence," Qiao Mei said sternly.

"Let's set a trap. As long as she goes to jail for the rest of her life, it can be considered retribution for her," Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei did not say anything and just looked at Xia Wen quietly.

"I know that we won't be able to clear Auntie Li's name if we do that. In that case, Auntie Li will have to bear such a bad reputation in the future. I'm sorry," Xia Wen said apologetically.

If he had not disobeyed his parents back then and insisted on marrying Tan Jing, the current situation would not have happened and Qiao Mei's family would not have to suffer such an undeserved crisis.

"Eldest Brother, none of us could have predicted this. You don't have to blame yourself," Qiao Mei said calmly. She did not blame Xia Wen at all. He had already done his best in this matter and also did not show any mercy to Tan Jing. Qiao Mei was already very satisfied. She had decided to handle the rest of the matter herself.

Qiao Mei twirled the pen in her hand and said, "Actually, there's another way that my mother can escape unscathed. It will also make everyone turn their backs on Tan Jing and make the public believe us."

"What is it?" Xia Wen asked as he looked at Qiao Mei, feeling pleasantly surprised.

"You were also at the scene today. Didn't you notice anything strange about the Huang family members?" Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Wen thought carefully for a moment and said, "The Huang family members all look very weak and listless."

"Yes, Tan Jing has poisoned them," Qiao Mei said firmly.

"How do you know about this?" Xia Wen asked in surprise.

Qiao Mei touched the tip of her nose guiltily and said, "I... I secretly went to the Huang family's house. This is my conclusion after analyzing what the neighbors say and what the Huang family members themselves say."

"You acted on your own again!" Xia Wen smacked the table and shouted.

"I... Eldest Brother, don't get angry!" Qiao Mei said in a panic.

Xia Wen took a deep breath and said, "You, you. How many times do I have to say this! You're equally as rash as Xia Zhe! If anything happens to you, what will happen to the three children! What about all of us! You're not alone in this world!"

Qiao Mei felt a little touched. This was the first time Xia Wen had spoken to her so agitatedly. In the past, only her grandfather cared about her. She had more and more family members now.

In the past, she had always felt that Xia Wen was like a robot who systematically settled all the troublesome matters for everyone in the Xia family. It was as if Xia Wen could solve anything. Ever since Xia Wen met Mo Zhu though, he had become more spirited and was no longer super calm.

"Eldest Brother, how can you treat Qiao Mei like this!" Xia He pushed open the door and said unhappily to Xia Wen.

"Why don't you ask me what she did!" Xia Wen said angrily.

"Even if she had done something big, you still have to talk nicely! How can you be so fierce!" Xia He lectured.

Qiao Mei hurriedly tried to stop the argument and said, "It's not Eldest Brother's fault. It's indeed my fault. Have you fully recovered? Are you allowed to walk around like this?"

"Yes I can. I just can't go out to work for six months. My body is recovering very well, so you don't have to worry," Xia He said.

Qiao Mei and Xia Wen told Xia He about everything that had happened recently. Xia He smacked the table and said, "How dare she! How dare she poison them! If all these people die! Won't she feel guilty!"

Qiao Mei smiled as she looked at Xia He and Xia Wen. Xia He had just reprimanded Xia Wen so eloquently, but she had acted in exactly the same manner as Xia Wen. They were really biological siblings. She wondered if Xia Zhe would react in the same way.

Although they had only been separated for a short period of time, shorter than those other times in the past, she missed Xia Zhe very much. She really hoped that all these things could be resolved soon so that she could go overseas to stay by his side. It was still best for a family to be together.

"The two of you don't have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me to wrap it up." With that, Xia Wen left Qiao Mei's house to get busy
