"I'll cook you a nice meal! I'll make you whatever you want to eat and then I'll make you a beautiful dress. You're a big star now! You must wear nice clothes! You can't wear the same few pieces of clothing over and over again," Qiao Mei said with a faint smile.
Xia He could not bear to let Qiao Mei cook. Qiao Mei already had a poor appetite for many days. Whenever she heard the word "rice", Qiao Mei would throw up. It was almost a conditioned reflex by now.
As Qiao Mei had been lacking adequate nourishment from food for a long time, she was very weak. The ginseng juice could only keep her alive, but it could not make her feel comfortable.
Qiao Mei felt better for a few days but then she was unable to get out of bed again. At the moment, she did not even have the strength to walk. Qiao Qiang came over to the front yard part of the house every day to talk to Qiao Mei. As long as it was something Qiao Mei wanted, he would try his best to give it to her.
"Grandfather… It's not a big deal. You can go back and rest. You've been sitting here for an entire day," Qiao Mei said weakly.

Qiao Mei shook her head slightly. If this method was useful, she would have stewed the ginsengs long ago. She did not know what was going on with this baby. Some time ago, she could still calm the baby down for a while by absorbing energy from ginseng, but this trick was useless by now.
This child must be a "demon king incarnate". After the baby was born, she would ask Xia Zhe to give the baby a good spanking!
"Should we get Xia Mao to call Xia Zhe and ask him to come back? You'll feel more at ease with him around," Qiao Qiang said with a frown.
"It's better not to tell him," Qiao Mei said.
Xia Zhe coming back would not be of any help to her. He could only watch by the side and feel anxious, which would make her feel even less able to withstand the discomfort. She decided to endure it for now. It would probably get better after some time.
As night fell, Du Bo and Du Miao discussed their grand plan in the study. Since they could not get what they wanted using persuasion, they could only punish Qiao Mei and make her submit to them obediently.
"Have you rounded up your people?" Du Bo asked.
"Yes, but they can't get close to Qiao Mei's house at all. There are many guards on duty outside the alley and there are also six guard team members in her house. Our people can't even get close at all. Furthermore, they have added two guards outside the children's room recently," Du Miao said.
"Just wait. It's impossible for them not to come out at all. The children will need to come out and play. If there's really no other way… we'll target their food," Du Bo said darkly.
"You want to poison them? Aren't we just going to capture Qiao Mei's two children? Why do we need to poison them?" Du Miao asked in shock.
"I don't want to do it either. It's Qiao Mei's fault for protecting the children so well. I'm just going to make the two children suffer a bit for a few days. I won't kill them. If the children fall sick, they'll definitely go to the hospital. When that happens, we'll get our chance to take action," Du Bo said agitatedly.

Du Miao also had a child of his own. His heart would ache whenever his daughter cried, let alone when she was sick. Being a parent, he could not bear to lay his hands on other people's children.
All this while, he had never participated in Du Bo's nasty affairs and just behaved like a prodigal son. He did not expect to have to get involved in Du Bo's shady businesses one day.
Qiao Mei had already arranged for Yao Nian to investigate the Du family and then she doubled the number of guards in the courtyard. Xia He even made a call to Xia Mao and asked him to send over a few of his elite soldiers.
As time passed, Old Master Song fell even more seriously ill. The Du family could not find the chance to make a move and Song Dan began to feel a little anxious.
Du Miao decided to look for another way. Since their people could not get close enough, there were naturally other people who could openly approach the children. Qiao Mei definitely would not replace her current helpers, so he decided to try and make use of Qiao Mei's relatives.
Back when Qiao Mei used a ginseng to exchange for the courtyard house, it had made news in the capital. Basically, anyone in their circle would take note of anything related to Qiao Mei.
