Chapter 12: Are you just waiting to collect my corpse?



After hearing her daughter's words, Mo Yumei's mind went completely blank.

She asked He Yaoyuan in alarm, "Are there security cameras in the house?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "What about in the living room?"

She knew that there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the manor, and it was impossible for the villa to be without them.

"Where's the kitchen? There shouldn't be a kitchen, right?"

If it's discovered that Mo Qingying went into the kitchen, she and her two children will probably be kicked out of the house tomorrow morning.

"Yaoyuan..."

"Don't rush, I need to go back and check. I really don't know if there are any security cameras in the kitchen."

He Yaoyuan felt a chill run down his spine. He had finally managed to bring Mo Yumei and her son back to the He family, and he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste like this.

After He Yaoyuan left, Mo Qingying held her mother's hand tightly.

"Mom, will I be found out? They won't take me to the police station, will they?"

Mo Yumei was in a state of turmoil, but she still tried her best to comfort her daughter.

"No, your dad will definitely find a way to handle it."

Mo Qingying was devastated. "I don't know what happened... I... I was really angered by Mingdai, I..."

"I know, I know, you're standing up for Mom. Have you told your brother? What did he say?"

He'll be here soon.

"Okay, then let's not act rashly for now and wait for your father's news."

Mo Qingying bit her lip pitifully and said, "Mmm."

He Yaoyuan was stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as he arrived at the manor gate.

"Sir, Third Master has instructed that due to special circumstances, no one returning late tonight is allowed to enter."

He Yaoyuan immediately understood that He Yaonian was deliberately guarding against him.

"Are you all blind? You even dare to stop me!"

He Yaoyuan was extremely anxious. He didn't know if He Yaonian had found out anything. If there really was surveillance footage in the kitchen, this matter would probably be difficult to resolve.

"Third Master has given a death order, so please don't make things difficult for us, Master."

He Yaoyuan was filled with righteous indignation. He should have strangled that old bastard back then. If he hadn't been so soft-hearted, he wouldn't have suffered such humiliation today.

Upon learning of the ban imposed by He Yaonian, the Mo family of three were terrified.

I had a sleepless night.

The next morning, Mingdai woke up naturally.

When she opened her eyes, she saw He Xingqiong staring at her with great interest, her big, round, and charming eyes shining brightly.

"Hey! You're awake!"

He Xingqiong chuckled and lightly flicked Mingdai's forehead, then held up two fingers.

How many is this?

Although she didn't know why He Xingqiong was there, Mingdai smiled because of the friendliness in her gestures.

"two."

He Xingqiong smiled too.

"Looks like he's not stupid."

He Xingqiong spilled the beans and quickly told Mingdai everything that had happened the night before.

"The results of Xingyue's test showed that the alcohol added to the Chinese medicine caused a reaction between the herbs. Although the dosage was not large, drinking it for two meals would kill you."

Mingdai was shocked; the Chinese medicine was prescribed for her by a reliable and famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor whom her father had found.

He Xingqiong was a straightforward person, and she also had an inexplicable pity for Mingdai, so she was direct and held nothing back.

"The surveillance footage shows that your sister-in-law returned to the villa yesterday during the day. Her motive was purely malicious. You have no idea how they humiliated you while you were unconscious yesterday. I have never seen a more vile face than theirs. And they are your mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

He Xingqiong gets very agitated when she talks about this.

She asked Mingdai, feeling frustrated.

"How did you even fall for Mo Tingchuan in the first place? You're not bad yourself! Why are you doing charity work? You've wasted your beautiful eyes."

Mingdai exclaimed incredulously, "You're saying Mo Qingying poured wine into my Chinese medicine?"

"Who else could it be but her? We, the He family, would never dare to do that, nor would we have any reason to harm you."

Mingdai was horrified.

Being used as a stepping stone to turn her life around is bad enough, but now they even want to kill her.

Fortunately, she was at the He family's house last night. If she had been alone in her previous apartment, she would probably be a cold corpse by now.

"Um, are you... are you alright?"

They noticed that Mingdai remained silent, her right hand loosely clenched against her lips, appearing fragile and vulnerable.

He Xingqiong realized just how shocking and devastating the truth she was telling Mingdai was.

Mingdai shook her head absently, her voice light and airy.

"I'm fine."

He Xingqiong felt guilty.

"Um, you, you mustn't..."

"Were you the one who stayed with me last night?"

Mingdai took a deep breath to compose herself, knowing that He Xingqiong meant well.

"Thank you so much, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"No, no, no, this is nothing to trouble you with. Besides, Uncle San had the housekeeper send a maid to take care of you. I slept soundly in the suite inside until dawn."

Upon hearing that He Yaonian had been alerted, Mingdai's heart skipped a beat.

“Thanks to your third uncle yesterday, he carried you to the hospital. He just asked you if you were awake yet.”

Mingdai's mind was buzzing.

She tried to convince herself that the situation was special, she was completely unconscious, and He Yaonian was just trying to help her.

"You scared us all. When you get better, you have to treat us to a meal, and also treat Uncle San."

He Xingqiong bent down and looked at Mingdai with a slightly cautious expression.

"Don't be sad. Everyone in the He family is a good person. Mo Tingchuan is no good. Why don't you get a divorce? I can introduce you to the brothers in the He family."

Mingdai: "..."
