Suddenly lifting her head, Yang Mengchen's eyes were wide with shock and terror, her complexion turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

Before she fled her hometown, she was too young, and Grandma Zhang and the others would not teach her about emotions. Later, busy with work to survive, she had no time or inclination to consider relationships, until meeting Ah Ming, when she slowly started to understand. After divorcing Ah Ming, she became disillusioned and never engaged in emotional affairs again.

Ah Ming was the first, and the only person she ever loved. It could be said that her emotional world was like a blank sheet, clean and naive.

Now, Hang Qingming's words struck her like a thunderbolt, causing her to suddenly wake up to reality.

In her past life, she ignored Ah Ming's desperate pleas and resolutely divorced him. In this life, she overlooked Long Xuanmo's silent contributions and heartlessly rejected his sincerity. She thought she was doing it for their own good, never considering whether they wanted or were willing to accept this so-called good.

They loved her deeply, and even though she imposed her will upon them, they never complained.

But what about her?

To Ah Ming, she showed deep affection on the surface but turned around and cut ties mercilessly, becoming strangers ever after.

To Long Xuanmo, she neither rejected nor avoided him, even feeling justified in enjoying his care and offerings, and then blinked an eye to use Hang Qingming to hurt him.

Saying it was for their good was just an excuse, nothing but a way to conceal her inner insecurity, cowardice, suspicion, and self-pity. She was nothing but a selfish, hypocritical, and self-righteous despicable person!

She deserved to have a short life; this was retribution!

In an instant, a stabbing pain in her chest, uncontrollable, brought a fishy sweetness up her throat, and she 'puff' spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Her dress was instantly stained with blossoms of blood lotuses, her eyes tightly closed, her whole body collapsed against the back of the chair, her face deathly pale, like a shattered porcelain doll that could disappear with just a blow of the wind.

"Miss!" Hai Tang cried out in horror and then hurriedly checked Yang Mengchen's pulse, her expression grim and pained.

Hang Qingming had just opened the door, and hearing Hai Tang's scream, instinctively turned back. When he saw Yang Mengchen's lifeless appearance, his heart ached with regret, and without thinking, he rushed forward.

Lv Luo, standing at the door, swiftly flew in upon seeing this: "What's happened to the miss?"

"Quick! Go fetch Doctor Luo!"

While instructing Lv Luo, Hai Tang hurriedly carried Yang Mengchen to the bed, gently laid her down, quickly found the emergency pill from the cabinet, and fed it into her mouth. She stimulated her Inner Strength to aid in the gentle movement of Yang Mengchen's throat muscles, helping her swallow the pill, then stood guard by the bedside.

Hang Qingming wanted to approach, but seeing the hateful glance from Hai Tang, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile, his lips slightly moved, but in the end, he said nothing. He looked deeply at Yang Mengchen, turned around, and walked out with heavy steps.

Along the way, he saw the Elite Guards and servants looking toward Mengchen Pavilion with eyes full of worry and anxiety, yet they stood firm at their posts, which impressed Hang Qingming.

Seeing Hang Qingming's figure, Nan Tian hurriedly approached: "Is the young master all right?"

Hang Qingming shook his head, his expression grave.

"What has happened, young master?" Seemingly, their young master had not succeeded, and they too had been caught just as they were about to make a move. But if they had not succeeded, they simply had not succeeded. Why did their young master look so restless? Nan Tian and Bei Hai were quite puzzled.

"After I spoke with Ms. Yang, she vomited blood and fell unconscious." Looking back at the brightly lit Mengchen Pavilion, Hang Qingming frowned, deep in thought, then instructed Nan Tian and Bei Hai, "You go ahead first. Once Ms. Yang wakes up, I'll return."

Nan Tian and Bei Hai were shocked: "Young master?" They clearly disapproved of their young master staying behind.
