"Sister Su!"

Pei Zhao hurriedly pushed open the ward door and rushed in.

Mingyao hurriedly wiped away her tears and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhao grabbed Ming Yao's wrist, his voice panicked: "The Pei family is here, you should hide for a bit."

I won't hide.

Mingyao shook off Pei Zhao's hand and sat back down in her seat. "I am Pei Siyu's wife. Why should I hide when the Pei family comes?"

She could understand Pei Zhao's good intentions.

The Pei family did not like her, believing that she was not good enough for Pei Siyu.

Indeed, it was true. If Wei Ning hadn't interfered, she would never have been able to get close to Pei Siyu in her entire life.

Pei Zhao said anxiously, "Sister Su, my mom is here too!"

"I'm worried about her..."

Pei Zhao was impatient and gritted his teeth: "I'll go and block them!"

He was still a step too slow; Wei Ning and Meng Yan rushed in first, blocking the entrance to the ward.

His uncles also entered the ward one after another.

The once spacious ward has become extremely crowded.

Mingyao clenched her fist and greeted the elders with a smile.

Even in her previous life, she had never had so much contact with the elders of the Pei family.

Especially Pei Zhao's uncles, this was the first time Mingyao had met them across two generations.

Meng Yan glared at Ming Yao with venomous resentment; her gaze was enough to kill.

Just in case, Pei Zhao tugged at Meng Yan's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, we can't make a lot of noise in the hospital. Let's talk about it after we get out."

Meng Yan looked at Pei Zhao with anger at his lack of ambition.

Even at this point, he still wants to protect Mingyao!

This is absolutely incomprehensible!

Mingyao calmly looked at the people in the ward. They were all arrogant, and apart from Pei Zhao, none of them had come to visit Pei Siyu sincerely.

Mingyao had never been involved in the power struggles within the Pei family in her previous life.

But having lived with Pei Siyu for so long, she had heard a lot of things but had never seen them.

Apart from Pei Zhao and the elderly old man Pei, everyone else in the Pei family hated Pei Siyu with a passion.

Wei Ning glanced at Ming Yao and said, "Miss Su, could you please leave for a moment?"

"His family is enough to take care of him."

Meng Yan and Pei Zhao's uncles looked at Wei Ning with different expressions, and their gazes toward Ming Yao were filled with disdain.

Mingyao smiled slightly, knowing that Wei Ning was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"How come Sister Su isn't a member of the Pei family?"

"She's the best person to take care of my uncle!"

Pei Zhao had just said a few words in defense of Ming Yao when Meng Yan pinched his arm hard: "You brat, your uncle is still unconscious, what are you yelling about?"

"All you do is cause trouble all day long, come out here!"

She glanced quickly at Wei Ning, and only after noticing that Wei Ning's face remained expressionless did she dare to boldly pull Pei Zhao away.

An eerie silence fell over the ward. Mingyao stood by the bed, motionless.

Wei Ning narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder. "What, didn't you hear me?"

She stared at Mingyao, radiating an extremely oppressive aura.

As expected of the eldest wife of the Pei family, she possesses a powerful aura and commands respect without anger.

Mingyao naturally couldn't leave the ward.

Pei Siyu is in a coma. If she doesn't stay here to watch over him, who knows what they might do to him?

Wei Ning, in particular, has used every means possible against Pei Siyu over the years.

"Madam Pei, I'm not leaving."

Mingyao lowered her head in fear, glancing at Wei Ning out of the corner of her eye. Her voice became even softer: "I am Pei Siyu's wife, our legal spouse. Why aren't we considered family?"

Wei Ning's face grew colder inch by inch. She took two steps closer and chuckled lightly, "Are you questioning me?"

She seemed extremely frightened, shaking her head repeatedly.

No.

Mingyao twisted her fingers, tears streaming down her face. "Madam Pei is an elder, and as a junior, I dare not question her."

"I'm just worried about Pei Siyu."

Her pale face was made all the more striking by her bright red eye circles.

Tears welled up in Mingyao's eyes as she looked at Pei Siyu with tearful eyes, "He was injured because of me, how can I leave him here alone?"

"Madam Pei."

Mingyao clenched her fists, her eyes hardening as if she had made a firm decision.

"I want to stay by his side and take care of him at all times."

Even though Pei Siyu was only unconscious, Mingyao put on an expression as if she were bravely going to her death.

Wei Ning looked at Ming Yao with a half-smile: "Miss Su, have you forgotten why he was injured?"

Mingyao lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, and stammered, "I haven't forgotten."

"Su Xueya, letting you marry him was the worst decision I ever made!"

Wei Ning's tone was unfriendly, and his eyes showed a hint of anger: "Get out of here right now before I lose my temper!"

I never want to see you again!

A chill crept into Mingyao's eyes, and her tears fell even more profusely.

The person who hates Pei Siyu the most is Wei Ning, yet she brazenly plays the family card.

She's not stupid.

Thump—

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mingyao knelt on the ground.

Her sudden action stunned everyone present, and even Wei Ning looked at Ming Yao with a hint of astonishment.

Mingyao looked at Wei Ning and the others with tears streaming down her face, "Yes, I am not a good wife!"

"Because of the misunderstanding I caused, he suffered such serious injuries."

"Waaah, I deserve to die."

Mingyao slapped herself hard, leaving a five-finger handprint on her fair face.

Wei Ning was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand Ming Yao's actions.
