Chapter 1220 - 1220 Stupid Thieves

1220 Stupid Thieves

Thinking about it this way, it seemed to make sense. Xia Jun’s earlier heartache instantly disappeared. There was nothing more precious than what Qiao Mei had made with her own hands.

Xiao An restrained Tan Hu and Tan Bao in the middle of the courtyard. Just as he was about to go to the backyard to report to the two elders, he saw the two of them coming over.

“Uncle Xia, Uncle Qiao, these two are the ones sneaking around outside tonight,” Xiao An said.

The Xia family treated the guard team members like their own family members. Xia Jun disallowed them to address him by his official title unless it was during an official event. Usually, they behaved like elders and juniors, especially since the children in the family were buddies with the guard team members.

“Xia Jun, do you know these two people? I don’t seem to have… seen them before?” Qiao Qiang asked curiously.

At this moment, Xia Jun was already black in the face and did not feel like speaking. He never dreamed that these audacious people were actually the Tan brothers! It was really a slap to his face!

The good thing was that Qiao Mei was not at home tonight. If Qiao Mei was in the front yard, who knew what could have happened! If the children got a fright, the consequences could be unimaginable!

Just thinking about these things caused a chill to run down Xia Jun’s back. Of course, he knew how capable Xiao An and the rest were. They must have discovered these suspicious characters as soon as they appeared. Obviously, they were only trying to catch the perpetrators red-handed, but they must be told not to do this again. Next time, they must immediately capture anyone who looked suspicious.

“Old brother, leave this matter to me. Go back to your room and rest,” Xia Jun said in a deep voice.

Qiao Qiang did not dwell on it at all. He put his hands behind his back and walked back happily. As he walked, he said, “I’m off~ I’m going back to get my jade chess set~”

After hearing this, Xia Jun looked at the Tan brothers even more fiercely. The Tan brothers had never been in such a situation before, nor had they ever seen such an imposing person. Before Xia Jun could say anything, Tan Bao was so frightened that he peed his pants and Tan Hu fainted on the spot.

“Get two people to come and clean this area up. Don’t dirty Qiao Mei’s courtyard. I’m so annoyed to see this. Bring these two people back and let the guard team deal with them. I don’t want to care about this matter anymore. Ask Xia Mao to deal with it personally!” Xia Jun instructed.

It was not that he did not trust Xia Wen, but Xia Wen had kept failing at any matter related to the Tan family. Xia Jun was also unwilling to let Xia Wen come into contact with the Tan family again. After all, Xia Wen still had feelings for Tan Jing. What if that woman wept and threatened to commit suicide and then Xia Wen had no choice but to remarry her?

Anything was possible, so he must be on guard. He could not let this family harm his grandchildren anymore. It was time to put an end to all this.

News of the incident was relayed to Xu Lan’s place early in the morning. After Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe heard about it, they laughed loudly. They knew how capable their two grandfathers were, so they were not worried at all. They just felt that the Tan brothers were really funny. How could anyone be stupid enough to steal from the Xia family’s territory?

Even though He Ning was so desperate for Qiao Mei’s ginseng and also wanted the so-called “divine medicine”, he did not dare to steal from the Xia family’s territory. He had always delivered the money to Qiao Mei securely and did not do any scheming.

The Tan family was really incurable stupid. After Xia Wen sent Tan Jing back, the Tan family did not come to kick up a fuss so the Xia family had thought that the Tan family had changed for the better!

Who would have thought that they were actually plotting this!

“I’ll leave the rest to your father. Qiao Mei, do you have any other ideas you want to add?” Xu Lan asked softly.

After all, given that this happened at Qiao Mei’s house, she had the right to handle it. However, since it had already been handed over to Xia Mao, she had nothing more to add. Xia Mao definitely would not let the Tan family off easily.

“I have no worries if Father is the one handling it! I’ll let Father make the decision!” Qiao Mei said sweetly.

If Xia Mao was present, he would probably smile so widely that the corners of his mouth would stretch to his ears! Xia Mao had always felt that Xia He was too aggressive for her own good.

The good thing was that Xia He could protect herself even if she ran into danger and nothing major would ever happen to her. The bad thing was that she was so combative that she could even go to the battlefield with Xia Mao anytime! If Xu Lan had not summoned Xia He home back then, Xia He would have become the second Xia Xiu!
