Under Long Ming’s strong and fierce aura, the reporters trembled in fear.

  The leading reporter replied carefully, “We received a call saying that there’s important news here; that’s why we came.”


  Liu Yiyi looked at Long Ming and the tears in her eyes fell even more fiercely. “Brother Long Ming, Granny is so pitiful. You must punish the person who pushed Granny into the water.”


  Liu Yiyi glanced at Xiao Ying with teary eyes .

  Although the middle-aged man was trembling in fear, he nodded vigorously. “That’s right, Your Majesty. You must bring this bad woman to justice!”


  Faced with slander and accusations, Xiao Ying’s pretty face remained expressionless. She looked at Long Ming with clear eyes. “I didn’t push Granny. Do you believe me?”


  Long Ming had a hand in his pocket, his well-defined face tensed. There was no warmth in his eyes. “Who brought Granny out of the palace?”


  Xiao Ying’s long eyelashes fluttered.

  “Granny wanted to see Liu Yiyi, so I brought her to see her. It was Liu Yiyi and that uncle who worked together to frame me!”


  Long Ming glanced at Liu Yiyi and the middle-aged man with a piercing gaze. “Is she telling the truth?”


  Liu Yiyi shook her head hurriedly. “Brother Long Ming, I don’t know this uncle at all. How could I be on his side? Also, Granny is my closest kin. How could I hurt her?”


  As Liu Yiyi spoke, she glared at Xiao Ying angrily. “On the other hand, she was jealous that I was doted on in the Duke’s palace and wanted to frame me for Granny’s fall to drive a wedge between us. How could she actually do such a vicious thing!”


  Long Ming looked at Liu Yiyi, who was crying sadly, and then at Xiao Ying, whose expression was cold. He said coldly, “I believe you wouldn’t hurt Granny.”


  When Long Ming said this, some people were happy while others were angry.

  Liu Yiyi was overjoyed. If not for the fact that Long Ming had such a cold aura, she would have jumped into his arms. She was really surprised that he believed her.

  Xiao Ying’s gaze on Long Ming became even colder.

  The reporters wanted to take photos of this scene, but they did not dare to.

  Long Ming called Mo Tian over and instructed coldly, “Ask the reporters to delete all of the photos. I’ll handle this matter myself. There’s no need to let everyone know about this. It’ll ruin my reputation.”


  Liu Yiyi was a little unhappy about this. She had originally planned to use the media to expose this incident to ruin Xiao Ying’s reputation.

  However, Long Ming’s considerations were reasonable. After all, Xiao Ying was still his fiancée.

  If Xiao Ying’s reputation was ruined, Long Ming would be implicated as well.

  However, after what happened with the old lady, Long Ming probably wouldn’t like Xiao Ying anymore!

  After Mo Tian took the reporter away, Long Ming glanced at the middle-aged man. “Mo Tian, bring him to the palace.”


  Liu Yiyi did not panic when she saw Mo Tian take the middle-aged man away.

  Outside the emergency room, only Liu Yiyi, Xiao Ying, Long Ming, and his bodyguards were left.

  Liu Yiyi’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked like she was worried about the old lady’s safety and was extremely angry at Xiao Ying.

  Not too long later, the door to the emergency room opened and the doctor walked out.

  Seeing Long Ming, the doctor said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the old lady has been saved. However, she’s old and weak. She might not wake up anytime soon.”


  Long Ming nodded with a cold expression.

  The granny was pushed out and Liu Yiyi pounced over with tears streaming down her face. “Granny, don’t worry. I won’t let the person who pushed you into the water off so easily!”


  The old lady was pushed into the VIP ward.

  Long Ming and Liu Yiyi followed.

  When they were about to reach the door, Xiao Ying stopped Long Ming. “I want to talk to you.”


  Long Ming glanced at Xiao Ying sharply. “What’s there to talk about?”


  Tears filled Xiao Ying’s eyes. “Do you really not believe me? I didn’t push Granny.”


  “Women like you have always been full of lies. How can I believe you?”


  Xiao Ying bit her lip hard, tears brimming in her eyes. “Long Ming, you’ll regret this.”


  Xiao Ying turned around and ran away.

  When Liu Yiyi heard the argument between Long Ming and Xiao Ying, a smug smile appeared on her lips.

  With Granny as an obstacle between them, it was impossible for them to be together!

  Liu Yiyi stayed with the old lady in the hospital for the entire morning. Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, she left the hospital and returned to the Duke’s palace.

  The moment she returned, she heard the Duke’s wife laughing.

  “Ying’er, I’ve made you suffer. Mom doesn’t believe in those superstitious things. Yiyi vomiting blood definitely has nothing to do with you!”


  “Mom, thank you for still trusting me.”


  Liu Yiyi walked into the living room and her eyes widened when she saw Xiao Ying being hugged by the Duke’s wife.

  How could Xiao Ying still have the cheek to come to the Duke’s palace?

  He had finally chased her away, she could not let her come back!

  “Mom, I feel terrible…” Liu Yiyi walked toward the Duke’s wife. Suddenly, she screamed and fell to the ground with her hand over her heart.

  Seeing Liu Yiyi fall to the ground, the Duke’s wife had no choice but to let go of Xiao Ying and walk toward Liu Yiyi.

  Liu Yiyi leaned into the Duke’s wife’s arms and shouted weakly. Then, her eyes rolled back and she pretended to faint.

  The Duke’s wife was a little panicked. Why had this child fainted just like that?

  When Xiao Ying saw this, she got up and walked up to the Duke’s wife and Liu Yiyi. “Mom, I know a little about traditional chinese medicine. I happen to have a silver needle with me. As long as I poke Sister Yiyi’s toes, she will wake up. I promise that I will even be able to treat her vomiting in the future.”


  The Duke’s wife looked at Xiao Ying and did not doubt the authenticity of her words. “Ying’er, you know traditional chinese medicine?”


  “I will.”


  “Then quickly give it a try.”


  “Alright.”


  Xiao Ying asked the Duke’s wife to lay Liu Yiyi flat on the ground. Xiao Ying squatted in front of Liu Yiyi and took out a silver needle, touching her body lightly. “Mom, turn around. It might be a little too much for you to watch when she bleeds later.”


  If it hurt just by looking at it, wouldn’t it hurt even more if she inserted it?

  Just as Xiao Ying raised her hand and was about to insert the needle, Liu Yiyi suddenly opened her eyes.

  “Mom…”


  When the Duke’s wife heard Liu Yiyi’s voice, she turned around to look at her. Seeing that she was awake, the shrewd Duke’s wife seemed to have understood something.

  Xiao Ying looked at Liu Yiyi. “Why don’t I insert this needle? Maybe your vomiting condition will improve in the future.”


  Liu Yiyi sat up from the ground and glared at Xiao Ying angrily. “Do you want to see me down? I haven’t told Mom about you pushing Granny down the lake. How dare you appear in the Duke’s palace? This is my home. Get out!”


  The moment she finished speaking, she was slapped hard on the face.

  Liu Yiyi looked at the Duke’s wife who had hit her and immediately reacted. She had fallen into Xiao Ying’s trap.
