Chapter 1339 Photo From the Past

Chapter 1339 Photo From the Past

The ring shone with a faint red light as Qiao Mei gripped it. Of course, only Qiao Mei could see this light. Once the ring absorbed enough energy, Qiao Mei could move her body again and her body temperature slowly rose.

Liang Lan pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Mei disdainfully. Although Qiao Mei kept talking about rejecting the gift, her hands were clenched around the ring tightly, seemingly worried that Liang Lan would go forward to snatch it from her. Yet she still said that she was not interested in it.

She was indeed just a country bumpkin from the countryside. Even if the Xia family managed to dress her up to look like a rich lady, she still behaved like a poor and greedy person.

"Qiao Mei?" Xia He called out to her.

"Oh! Since you insist on giving it to me, I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it." Qiao Mei put the ring into her pocket, then pointed at the bag in Xia He's hand and said, "The 'divine medicine' you want is right there. As long as you find my grandfather's photo, I'll give it to you."

"Mmmm mmm!!!" Liang Shu almost twisted her body as she screamed while still on the bed. She had been shouting for so long that her voice was already hoarse, but yet she still kept yelling at Qiao Mei. It sounded like she was cursing and also like she was shouting out of fear.

"Mother! Why do you still want to keep those things! Money is just worldly possessions. Is money more important than your health?" Liang Lan said as she quickly ran to Liang Shu's bed.

"Mmm mmm!" Liang Shu whimpered as she glared at Liang Lan angrily.

"I know, I know! I'll go and look for the photo now!" Liang Lan did not even look at Liang Shu's face and completely misinterpreted what she meant.

Even after searching for a long time, she did not manage to find anything. She also could not find anything in the wooden box. Liang Lan almost wanted to smash it open. How could the photo have grown legs and ran away?

At this moment, her fingers suddenly touched a compartment and there seemed to be something inside. Liang Lan slowly took out the item inside the compartment. It was the photo of Qiao Qiang which she was looking for, one of Qiao Qiang wearing his military uniform. There was no such photo at home anymore. In fact, there was no photo of him within the five-year period before and after this photo was taken.

"Look! Is it this one! I told you I've seen it before! I didn't lie to you!" Liang Lan said agitatedly.

Liang Shu turned around and glared fiercely at Qiao Mei and the others, making angry whining sounds. Liang Lan quickly blocked Liang Shu's view. At this moment, nothing was more important than Qiao Mei.

Liang Shu was bent on getting the photo back from Qiao Mei. If not for the fact that she was paralyzed, she would probably have run to Qiao Mei's side and snatched it away.

Qiao Mei did not care so much. She just wanted to take away something related to Qiao Qiang. In the photo, Qiao Qiang looked really handsome. He was dignified and charming and even had the look of a capable general! If Qiao Qiang could be transported to Qiao Mei's other life, there would definitely be many girls wooing him. He would not have met a woman like Liang Shu, like what he did in this life.

Back then, Liang Shu had only taken a fancy to Qiao Qiang because of his looks. If not for the fact that Qiao Qiang was so handsome, she would not have married him even if she was beaten to death! It was also the reason why Liang Guo and Liang Lan were not ugly and could be considered to look quite pleasant.

"I'll take this photo with me. You won't mind, right?" Qiao Mei held up the photo and asked with a smile.

"Of course you can!" Liang Lan agreed.

Qiao Mei took advantage of the fact that Liang Lan did not think to ask for anything in return and quickly put the photo into her pocket. However, when she touched the photo, she thought that it felt different from anything she had ever seen. Why did it feel like the photo paper used was thicker than what she had seen at other places?

However, she did not have time to think more about this. Perhaps the Liang family had specially gone to the most expensive studio to take photos in order to please Qiao Qiang? Anything was possible.

Seeing that Qiao Mei did not do anything else, Liang Lan immediately reminded her, "About that… medicine…"

Qiao Mei took out a small bottle of "divine medicine" from Xia He's bag. The medicinal effect of the liquid in this bottle was probably the worst out of all the batches that she had ever made.

Not long ago, in order to do more research on the blood-colored ginseng juice, she had filled up her entire secret room with ginsengs. There was even a 1,000-year-old ginseng that she did not keep properly and it went running around the house. Even though it moved very slowly, it was still a creepy sight. Qiao Mei did not want to face such a scene again.

The ginseng juice which Qiao Mei gave Liang Shu was generally made from ginsengs that were only a few decades old and she had even used scraps that were useless. She was not sure if Liang Shu would get better after drinking it, but it was still better than nothing.

"Here you go. Drink it once a day, one spoonful at a time." Qiao Mei simply threw out a random instruction. In any case, the effect would be about the same no matter how much or how little she drank. It was not a bad idea to let Liang Shu suffer a little longer.
