Since when did her kind mother became such a raving mad woman?
In the hall, only Xue Yuming’s frenzied wails were heard.
And then, the tense situation was broken by Huo Li who suddenly came in.
“Madam, this is the record of the call you made four years ago.”
Huo Li tossed the piece of paper onto the tea table.
Lu Zhaoyang looked on puzzled. What was the meaning of this?
She had no idea what was going on but Xue Yuming immediately understood!
That was the phone call that framed Yangyang!
And Huo Yunting had found out…
“You actually lied to me,” He laughed as he crossed his legs and swept his gaze over here. “So, what should I do with you?”
“You can’t!” Xue Yuming shook her head and pointed to Lu Zhaoyang, “I’m Yangyang’s mother! You can’t do anything to me!”
“Heh,” She did knew how to prod his weakness.
The Madam too was a partic.i.p.ant but she dared not speak now.
She had already viewed Xue Yuming in disdain long ago and she had promised to protect her.
But now the cat is out of the bag, it had nothing to do with her.
“I’m a little tired, you guys deal with this yourself,” She rose as the servants helped her up, taking a none-of-my-business approach to this.
“Mum, mum…you can’t go now, framing Yangyang was not just my idea, you had a hand in this, and you promised to protect me!”
Xue Yuming was already at her wits end, dragging someone down with her was no longer beyond her.
Since the Madam decided to play her out, she could do the same!
“What did you say? What does your schemes have anything to do with me!”
Madam tried to muddle the waters as she sneered coldly, “You did A Ran so much evil, prolonging her sickness, and even tried to drive her to suicide, and you have the cheek to ask me to protect you? You can even poison the child inside you, and even use your own daughter! You still want me to protect you?”
Huo Yunting recalled that time when the Madam suddenly asked him to let Xue Yuming go and realized that it was probably their arrangement.
“And that’s because you did not want Yangyang together with your grandson! I was helping you!”
Xue Yuming was not afraid to spill this out now, everyone knew they were together, but simply had not acknowledge it.
Lu Zhaoyang stiffened as Huo Yunting suddenly grabbed her small cold hands.
The truth could not be forever hidden as it is and would see the light someday.
He was not afraid and would be there to protect her.
The Madam pointed quiveringly at her while her cold gaze was aimed at Huo Zhenning, “So are you gonna control your wife or not? Do you want to drive me mad!?”
“What are you standing there for, bring the Madam to rest!”
Huo Zhenning’s voice thundered. Given Madam’s position in this house, even if she was a co-conspirator, no one could touch her.
The Madam was so mad that her face turned pale before being brought away by two frightened maids.
“Dear…” Xue Yuming looked at Huo Zhenning in despair, “You’ll trust me, right?”
“With all the evidence here, how can I trust you? Do you really want us to reenact the scene of you buying that medicine again, and shatter whatever dignity you have left before the children? How could you be so evil, that you used our child, and even tried to frame my son?!”
Huo Zhenning, in his rage, pushed her away.
Xue Yuming was already weak, and with that push, she fell hard and could not get up.
Lu Zhaoyang, who had quietly observed the whole thing, could not longer accept what was happening and struggled out of Huo Yunting’s hand. She ran over to try to help her up.
