He Mei curled the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard that.

She was not surprised at all, but instead felt a sense of success.

Mother He was overjoyed: "Maybe something happened to the baby in her belly. If she loses the baby, it will be like losing her bargaining chip. She will have no value in the Huo family and will be despised by the Huo family."

Then he looked at He Mei: "Xiao Mei, we still have hope."

He Mei nodded in response.

Although she was happy, He's mother was still a little worried. "Although we heard the news, we didn't see it with our own eyes, so we don't know exactly what happened. You should find a way to go over and take a look. Seeing is believing."

He Mei had exactly this in mind, so she followed her mother's advice.

Inside the hospital.

Zhou Zhi stood anxiously outside the emergency room, looking at the closed door, worried and pacing back and forth.

Aunt Six knelt in front of him and begged for mercy.

Zhou Zhi said angrily: "How dare you say that! If anything happens to Xiao Ning and the baby in her belly, you will never have an easy life!"

Aunt Six begged for mercy several times, her body shaking constantly.

Seeing this scene, He Mei curled the corners of her lips slightly. After she had built up her emotions, she walked over, her expression already turned into worry.

"Aunt, why are you here? What's wrong?"

When Zhou Zhi saw He Mei coming over, he immediately grabbed her arm and said in panic, "Xiao Mei, tell me, what should we do?"

He Mei kindly advised: "Aunt, don't worry."

"Xiao Ning was in trouble. When she was sent to the hospital, she had severe stomach pain. She is still in the emergency room. I don't know how she is doing now."

Following the direction Zhou Zhi pointed, He Mei saw the tightly closed door of the emergency room, with disdain in her eyes.

"This is too sudden," He Mei was surprised. "I saw Zhou Ning was in good condition a few days ago. How could this happen..."

"It's all Aunt Six's fault!"

When Sixth Aunt was mentioned, Zhou Zhi became visibly agitated. He pointed at Sixth Aunt, feeling angry and embarrassed, unable to speak for a long time.

Faced with this rebuke, Sixth Aunt knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and trembled with fear.

In the end, Zhou Zhi was so angry and worried that he almost lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground.

He Mei was quick to support her in time and comforted her softly: "Don't be angry first, your health is the most important."

Then he helped Zhou Zhi to sit down on a nearby bench.

Zhou Zhi sat down, took a breath, and said in a trembling voice: "The doctor said that Xiao Ning ate something she shouldn't have, which is why she was rushed to the hospital. I investigated and found that Xiao Ning was like this because she ate the food made by Aunt Liu."

While speaking, he pointed at Aunt Six and demanded, "Tell me quickly! Do you want to harm our Xiao Ning?"

Aunt Six was crying and shaking her head frantically, "Madam, I really don't know what's going on. This has nothing to do with me."

He Mei sat next to Zhou Zhi and observed their expressions carefully.

Zhou Zhi was so anxious that sweat broke out on the tip of her nose. Aunt Liu was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and tears were glistening in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, He Mei became more certain of her inner guess.

Before coming, she was a little worried, but now when she saw Zhou Zhi was so anxious that she lost her mind and blamed Aunt Liu desperately, and Aunt Liu was so scared that she was about to faint at any time, she believed it.

Suddenly, Aunt Six said tremblingly: "Madam, Miss He came to Jiangcheng Mansion today. She can prove my innocence for me."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi looked at He Mei in surprise.

He Mei saw that the topic was about her, and she licked her lips awkwardly, then quickly calmed down, "I just saw how hard Zhou Ning was pregnant, and I also wanted to thank Brother Qingzhou for taking care of me in the company, so I specially sent some supplements."

At this moment, Aunt Six felt like she had found a life-saving straw and grabbed He Mei's arm.

"Ms. He, please say something for me. You came into the kitchen with me today. I really wouldn't tamper with the dishes. I never thought of harming Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning and I have a very good relationship."

He Mei's eyes were shaking, especially since Zhou Zhi's gaze was on her at this moment, as if he was trying to find something.

In a moment, she ruthlessly shook off Sixth Aunt's hand.

"Aunt, I did go to Jiangcheng Mansion today. I saw that Sixth Aunt's cooking skills were good, so we chatted for a while, but I went back very quickly. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Aunt Six was anxious and said, "Miss He also went into the kitchen like me. She is also a suspect. You can't just blame me."

He Mei's eyes were shocked, but she pretended to be calm: "Sixth Aunt, framing others will not end well. Zhou Ning and I have no grudges, and I have no reason to harm her."

"But you are so eager to pin the suspicion on others. You deserve to be punished."

Aunt Six: “I didn’t…”

Without giving Aunt Six a chance to finish, He Mei said confidently, "If it was really you who did it, I hope you can confess to your aunt as soon as possible, maybe you can get a lighter sentence."

Zhou Zhi nodded slightly, looked at Aunt Six, and was furious:

"Xiao Ning did eat the food you cooked, which is why she got into trouble. You can't find any evidence to prove your innocence. Everything you say now is just a sophistry!"

"Now others have pointed out a clear path for you. If you admit your mistakes, you may still have room for maneuver. If you refuse to admit it, your life will be ruined."

Sixth Aunt's shoulders slumped, her lips trembled, and she was unable to defend herself.

He Mei had complicated thoughts and remained silent.

Suddenly she noticed Zhou Zhi patting the back of her hand and said angrily:

"Xiao Mei, you are right. Falsely accusing others will not end well. You will definitely die miserably."

He Mei's heart skipped a beat, but she still cooperated.

Zhou Zhi asked again: "Why are you here?"

He Mei's expression changed. After a pause, she made up an excuse, looked around, and asked, "Where's Brother Qingzhou?"

Since she didn’t see Huo Qingzhou right away, she wanted to ask.

Something happened to Zhou Ning and she was lying in the emergency room. At this tense moment, Huo Qingzhou was nowhere to be seen, which was inevitably strange.

Zhou Zhi sighed: "He went to communicate with the doctor."

He Mei understood.

Zhou Zhi sighed again and again, his head drooping, looking weak.

"Xiao Ning is my beloved daughter-in-law. I treat her like my own daughter. Nothing must happen to her. The baby in her belly will be born soon. If... Oh!"

Do you like Zhou Ning so much?

He Mei felt jealous when she heard this, but pretended to be sympathetic.

"Aunt, don't be too sad. The doctor is still observing her and the situation is unknown. What if Zhou Ning is fine?"

"Hey! This happened so suddenly that we didn't dare tell Grandpa. If he knew that there was something wrong between Xiao Ning and the baby, he might faint on the spot."

"Grandpa Huo is old and can't be provoked."

He Mei sat patiently beside Zhou Zhi, comforting her and being as considerate as she could.

She knew that when people are helpless, they really need the company of others.

Suddenly, a doctor followed Huo Qingzhou over here.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
