Li Ying comforted Hua Qingqing: "In your aunt's eyes, a woman is born to marry, have children, and bring honor to the Hua family. Once this relationship is gone, the only thing she will be sad about is losing someone to take care of her in the future."
Hua smiled bitterly: "You're right. In my aunt's heart, the Hua family is above all else."
“Miss Hua, my junior sister just gave birth. Could you please not disturb her peace with these things?” Shi Bai stared at Hua Qingqing with annoyance.
Hua Qingqing usually seems quite reliable, so how could she be so clueless at a crucial moment?
Hua Qingqing also felt apologetic, holding Li Ying's hand: "I just felt really pent up inside, so I wanted to say something. Yingying, please don't take what I said to heart."
"Don't worry, I won't."
"When do you plan to be discharged from the hospital?" Hua Qingqing thought that after Li Ying was discharged, she would send her more nourishing and precious ingredients.
"tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll drive over to pick you up."
Li Ying did not refuse and nodded.
Li Ying recovered quickly, and the baby was also fine, so Li Ying decided to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
The next morning, Hua Qingqing drove to the hospital.
Li Ying also tidied up, and Aunt Yang, holding the child, walked out of the ward.
"Li Ying, give me back my wife!"
Suddenly, a man with a fierce face charged at them, brandishing a dagger.
Aunt Yang, fearing she might hurt the child in her arms, dodged away, only to fall to the ground with a thud. Li Ying, not expecting an assassination attempt, didn't manage to pull out her silver needles in time, and the dagger pierced straight into her chest.
Fortunately, several nurses, doctors, and family members who were seeing patients rushed over and stopped the man.
"Miss Ying! Quickly, save Miss Ying!"
Doctors and nurses hurriedly took Li Ying to the emergency room to treat her wounds.
Hua Qingqing rushed over, saw the man being controlled, and slapped him hard across the face.
"You bastard! You killed my cousin, and then you assaulted her?"
"If she hadn't said Xing'er would die, Xing'er wouldn't have committed suicide. It's all because of that quack doctor Li Ying who spreads rumors and misleads the public!" The man was indignant, struggling and roaring.
Hua gently slapped the other person several times.
"You're the one who killed my Xing'er and beat her unborn child to death, and you're blaming Li Ying for all of this! You bastard!"
"Qingqing, hurry and go see Ying!" Aunt Yang, who had been helped up, called out anxiously. Only then did Hua Qingqing react. Without bothering to argue with this scoundrel, she rushed to the emergency room.
Fortunately, the dagger wound wasn't deep, but Li Ying had to be hospitalized for observation to see if she would get an infection later.
When Li Ying was admitted to the hospital by the doctor, Hua Qingqing applied for a private ward for her and even brought a crib for the baby to sleep in.
“The man has been taken to the police station. This time he attempted murder, so he’ll definitely get a few years in prison,” Hua Qingqing said indignantly.
“I have no grudge against him, why would he kill me? Just because I said Xing’er would die?” Li Ying felt that things were not that simple.
This person must have been bribed to take my life.
"I told Tong Danian to interrogate him thoroughly, and he'll definitely find something out!"
Li Ying nodded and closed her eyes to sleep.
Hua Qingqing stayed by Aunt Yang's side until Lu Qingzhu came to relieve her, at which point Hua Qingqing left.
"The little guy is so cute!"
Lu Qingzhu didn't know how to hold a baby, so she just watched, not daring to hold the baby herself, afraid that she would clumsily hurt the child.
"Junior brother, you like children so much, why don't you hurry up and get married?"
Lu Qingzhu blushed slightly: "Let's wait a bit longer, I don't want to get married right now."
"Alright then, until you get hired as a tutor at the medical school, you'll be very busy and won't have time."
"You're injured, and you still can't keep quiet for a moment," Lu Qingzhu scolded playfully.
"By the way, why hasn't Qingwan come over these past few days?" Li Ying remembered that Lu Qingwan hadn't come over for a long time.
"She's currently taking her medical school entrance exam and is studying hard at home," Lu Qingzhu lied.
Li Ying didn't ask any more questions, only gave a bitter smile.
Junior Brother doesn't lie. His face turns red when he lies. He must know about Ye Jingchi's situation and is afraid of hurting himself, so he refuses to tell. He's also afraid that Lu Qingwan's mouth is unguarded, so he doesn't let Lu Qingwan come over.
But secrets can't stay hidden forever; she'll find out sooner or later.
Li Ying drank a large bowl of the ginseng soup that Aunt Yang brought, and then, under the influence of the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep again.
The next morning, Lu Qingzhu came to the hospital again to relieve Hua Qingqing.
As I was leaving, I saw Tong Danian walking this way.
"What is he here for?" Lu Qingzhu asked with some concern.
"It's probably because of Li Ying's injury, I'll go and ask about it."
Hua Qingqing rushed to Tong Danian first.
"Officer Tong, how's it going? Has that person confessed?"
Tong Danian's expression was grave: "He confessed. He said someone gave him two hundred yuan to stab Li Ying, but he didn't know who it was."
Tong Danian questioned the person who delivered the money, but still couldn't find the mastermind behind the murder.
"Who is so vicious as to have someone hurt Yingying? Could it be someone from the Ye family!"
Tong Danian shook his head: "Probably not. The Ye family intends for Li Ying to take the child back, so they wouldn't do something like this. I can't guess who it is right now. I came here to deliver something to my sister-in-law."
"What is that?"
Hua Qing was curious.
Lu Qingzhu strode up to Tong Danian and said coldly, "Officer Tong, Li Ying has just given birth and is too sad at this time."
“But I think my sister-in-law will find out sooner or later, and besides, I don’t think she should be sad or upset.” Tong Danian had always thought Li Ying was too cold-blooded. Chi Ge had done so much for her, but in the end, what did he get in return?
"What are you talking about?" Hua Qingqing asked, completely bewildered.
Tong Danian said with a heavy heart, "Brother Chi is gone, and his body has not yet been recovered."
What?
Hua Qingqing was shocked to hear this; Ye Jingchi was dead!
What about Li Ying?
"Officer Tong, I know there are some things that can't be hidden, but given the current situation, we can only keep it a secret for now. Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can, and talk about it after Li Ying's postpartum period is over, okay?" Lu Qingzhu knew that her junior sister wasn't a fragile person, but even the strongest person would be saddened by this kind of thing!
Hua Qingqing agreed with Lu Qingzhu's statement.
"Yes, yes, we can't tell Li Ying yet. She just gave birth and has now been stabbed. If she can't handle the shock, her health will collapse."
Tong Danian thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, since you insist, I'll put this matter aside for now. These are things that Brother Chi asked me to give to Miss Ying. You can give them to her later."
Tong Danian handed a package to Lu Qingzhu and strode away.
Hua Qingqing felt very guilty: "It's all my fault for having such a bad mouth. I should have known better than to say those things."
"What did you say?" Lu Qingzhu was also very curious.
“I once said, ‘What’s the point of having a man? We could stick together and live together.’ Now look what’s happened. Ye Jingchi is dead, and Li Ying is left to raise the child alone. She’s all alone now.”
