Mu Qing asked as he ate, “Is Miss Ye Xin awake?”
The change in topic was so fast that it took a moment for Liang Zhou to register Mu Qing’s question.
“She’s still in the ICU. Let me tell you, it’s a good thing she’s still in the ICU. Otherwise, she would’ve been taken away by the police. She’s suspected to have attempted to murder Song Ning. Song Ning is laughing and chatting in her ward while she’s in the ICU. Tell me, why is Song Ning’s life so good?”
Mu Qing chuckled. “She’s Song Ning’s sister. It’s unlawful to kill one’s sister so she deserves it…”

Liang Zhou was stunned.
Mu Qing’s smile deepened when he saw Liang Zhou’s reaction. He continued to say, “You didn’t expect that, did you? They’re biological sisters…”
The words ‘It’s unlawful to kill one’s sister so she deserves it’ rang in Liang Zhou’s ears over and over again. She felt as though all the blood in her body was rushing up to her brain at this moment.
Liang Zhen’s desperate words appeared in her mind, ‘You’re the one who refused to marry Mu Qing. Father and Mother favor you so they asked me to marry him in your stead. How can you come back now and say that you regret it? What about me? Sister, what about me? Have you ever considered my feelings? How can sisters fight each other like this? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? I hate you! I hate you! I curse you to die a horrible death! I curse you to suffer greatly! I’ll watch your suffering even after I become a ghost!’
Liang Zhou’s face was deathly pale as she recalled her sister’s words; she instinctively reached up to cover her ears. Her head hurts as those words rang in her mind; she was in so much pain that she wished she was dead. After a moment, she let out a loud scream before she fainted and collapsed to the ground.
…
When Liang Zhou regained consciousness, she discovered she was lying on the couch. When she turned her head, she saw Mu Qing leaning against the headboard and reading a book.

When Mu Qing saw Liang Zhou was awake, he put his book down and gently asked, “You’re awake? What happened? Did you tire yourself out recently?”
Liang Zhou still felt a little uncomfortable. She replied, “No, it’s nothing. My head just hurt a lot earlier…”
Mu Qing nodded. “It must be due to exhaustion. Look at my mom; she’s in her seventies, but she’s still so strong. You have to learn from her…”
Liang Zhou did not reply. Instead, she rose to her feet and poured herself a glass of water. She still felt a little dizzy, but she tried very hard to endure the discomfort.
Mu Qing looked at her and said, “There’s something I need you to do.”
Liang Zhou’s hand that was holding onto the glass of water froze for a moment when she heard Mu Qing’s words.
Mu Qing did not wait for her reply and continued to say in a relaxed tone, “Get close to Song Ning and find a way to reveal her relationship to Ye Xin.”
Liang Zhou took a seat by Mu Qing’s bed before she said, “There are always a lot of people in Song Ning’s room. If it isn’t the Old Madam, Mu Chen, it’s her friends and classmates. It’s difficult to catch her alone…”
Mu Qing fell silent.
Liang Zhou asked tentatively, “Are you… Are you trying to stress her out with this information to cause her to miscarry?”
Mu Qing glanced at her but did not reply. His meaning was clear.

Liang Zhou inhaled deeply before she said, “If I were to speak to Song Ning and something happens to her, I’ll definitely have to shoulder the blame. Won’t the old lady skin me alive at that time?”
Mu Qing smiled and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re planning to personally and directly reveal that information to Song Ning…”
Liang Zhou felt as though her heart had stopped beating for a moment when she heard the mockery in Mu Qing’s voice. When he looked at her, it was as though he was looking at a fool. In Mu Qing and Jiang Jin’s eyes, she was not as smart as Liang Zhen and was inferior to Liang Zhen in every way.. She wondered if this was the result of Liang Zhen’s curse? Did Liang Zhen hate her so much that even after she became a ghost, she refused to let her go? Now that she was scheming against Liang Zhen’s biological son and daughter-in-law, what was going to happen? She could not help but shiver when she thought about this.
