Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 120 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (25)

Xia Wei was startled by this sudden turn of events. He looked at Xia Mingwei, who had opened her eyes, and said somewhat incoherently, "You, how could you?"

Xia Mingwei smiled. "What? Didn't you see I fainted? Why do you look so disappointed, brother? It really makes your little sister so sad!" Hearing this, Xia Wei understood immediately. All that talk of lowering her guard and being completely unprepared was a lie. She hadn't believed them at all, and she hadn't drunk that glass of wine!

Although his scheme had been exposed, Xia Wei still refused to admit it. The current situation was far too unfavorable for him! He steadied himself and spoke again, "What are you saying, little sister? I don't understand!" "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll make it clear to you later!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wei felt as if the scene of Xia Mingwei forcibly forcing medicine on him that day was still vivid in his mind. He knew he was in trouble and turned to run away.

But his body, already soaked in that poison, was too weak to run. Even when he was in good health, he couldn't outrun Xia Mingwei; let alone in his current wretched state!

Therefore, Xia Mingwei captured him with almost no effort.

Xia Wei felt a wave of despair wash over him, regretting why he hadn't listened to Zhou Ying's advice and insisted on coming to Xia Mingwei's courtyard! He knew her personality all too well! Why did he have to fight her on this last day?

It can only be said that his arrogance ruined him! He overestimated himself and underestimated Xia Mingwei's strength. Even though he had already suffered a loss at her hands once, he still didn't learn his lesson and used the same old tricks on her.

Xia Wei did consider calling for help, but the moment he opened his mouth, Xia Mingwei saw through his intention and used a handkerchief to tightly cover his mouth.

To prevent him from struggling, Xia Mingwei quickly made a decision. She decided to go all in and knocked him unconscious with a single blow!

Looking at Xia Wei lying on the ground, Xiao Ba spoke up: "Host, now that you've knocked him out, what should we do next?" Xia Mingwei stroked her chin, smiled maliciously, and asked Xiao Ba: "Xiao Ba, have you read any of those 'substitute bride' stories?"

Xiao Ba, being simple-minded, didn't think too deeply about it at all. Without hesitation, it gave its feedback, "Host, are you talking about the story of the substitute bride? I know all about that. She ran away, he chased, and she couldn't escape..." Seeing that Xiao Ba was getting more and more excited, Xia Mingwei had no choice but to interrupt it.

"You've only ever seen these things in storybooks before, but today I'm going to give you a real demonstration!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ba became even more excited. "That's great! I've always just imagined it in my head before, I never thought I'd actually perform something like this!"

It rubbed its hands together expectantly, then asked, "But the wedding procession is about to arrive. Where are we going to find a substitute bride?"

Xia Mingwei kicked Xia Wei, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Isn't there one right here right now?"

Little Hachi was terrified by the answer. Its little face turned bright red, and after a long pause, it finally managed to stammer out, "But he's a boy! How could he, how could he..."

Xiao Ba hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say what came next, but still couldn't bring himself to say it.

Faced with Xiao Ba's question, Xia Mingwei waved her hand dismissively and then asked seriously, "Xiao Ba, what do you think is the most important thing about a substitute bride?"

Xiao Ba felt her worldview was being reshaped, and stammered, "The key point is, it's a substitute marriage!"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Xia Mingwei clapped her hands. "See, that's it! You said the key point was the substitute marriage! So what does it matter whether Xia Wei is the bride or the groom?"

After hearing Xia Mingwei's explanation, Xiao Ba's resolve wavered noticeably, though she still muttered, "But, but..."

Xia Mingwei made the final decision, "Just tell me, isn't this a substitute bride?"

Xiao Ba was stumped by this profound question, and in the end, he could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that she had successfully changed the child's mind, Xia Mingwei mentally gave herself a "thumbs up." After the two had reached a consensus, Xia Mingwei began her operation. In no time, she had stripped Xia Wei of his clothes.

Watching her practiced movements, Xiao Ba asked curiously, "Host, have you ever taken off someone's clothes before? Judging from your movements, it doesn't seem like this is your first time!"

Xiao Ba wanted to say something more, but Xia Mingwei gave it a sharp rap on the head.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Xia Mingwei had no choice but to explain, "Time is of the essence; if we don't hurry, we'll be too late!"

In the time that followed, Xia Mingwei didn't dare to waste a moment. After taking off her own clothes, she changed the clothes for him. To prevent him from waking up in the middle, Xia Mingwei found the pot of wine on the table and made Xia Wei drink the cup laced with sleeping potion.

She felt there was no better way than to give someone a taste of their own medicine! Since Zhou Ying thought the Wu family was a good match, she certainly couldn't let her down. She would reluctantly give up the marriage. Let her beloved son marry into the family and enjoy a life of luxury! Perhaps, Young Master Wu would be even more satisfied with this arrangement!

Looking at Xia Wei, who was dressed in wedding attire, Xia Mingwei covered his head with a veil and helped him to the bed. After doing all this, looking at her work, Xia Mingwei smiled with satisfaction.

Then, she applied a thick layer of makeup to her face, making her look like she was seriously ill.

After dressing up, Xia Mingwei standing in front of the mirror looked exactly like Xia Wei. An unfamiliar person would have absolutely no way of telling who the real Xia Wei was.

Xiao Ba chimed in at the opportune moment, "Host, your skills are amazing! You can make a living with your cooking skills from now on!"

Xia Mingwei didn't take Xiao Ba's praise to heart, because she knew that her ability to easily achieve this look was largely due to her resemblance to Xia Wei. Her own skills were far from those of a makeup expert!

After cleaning up the mess, Xia Mingwei pretended to be sickly and stepped out of the room. Several servants guarding outside the courtyard saw "Xia Wei" and quickly came forward to help him up.

"Xiawei" did not resist and returned to his courtyard with his attendants. Shortly after entering his room, "Xiawei" claimed that he was feeling unwell and needed to rest, dismissing the servants.

After everyone had gone far away, "Xiawei" opened its eyes again while it was fast asleep.
