Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 1777: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (20)

Long Ming glanced at the invitation from the Duke’s palace and drove to Xiao Ying’s office.

Xiao Ying did not know that Long Ming had arrived. When it was time to get off work, she headed downstairs with several colleagues.

The moment she went out, she saw an expensive luxury car parked by the door.

The car window was half open and the man sitting in the driver’s seat was wearing sunglasses. His side profile looked sharp and perfect.

The colleagues beside Xiao Ying also saw Long Ming.

All of them could not help but exclaim and push Xiao Ying away with a wink.

“The King is too handsome!”

“The King dotes on his woman so much!”

Xiao Ying was a little speechless. He had suddenly appeared in front of her company and this was doting on her?

Under the envious gazes of her colleagues, Xiao Ying walked to the car.

Looking at the cold man in the car, she asked softly, “Why are you here?”

“Get in,” the man said simply.

“I drove here.”

“Ask the driver to drive it back later.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ying had no choice but to get into the car.

She sat in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt. Looking at the man’s cold and sharp face, Xiao Ying could tell that he was not in a good mood.

“What’s wrong?”

Long Ming handed the invitation to Xiao Ying.

“The Duke is planning to reveal Liu Yiyi’s identity.”

Xiao Ying pursed her lips, not knowing what to feel.

When the Duke found his real daughter, she had been really happy for the Duke’s wife and the Duke.

However, what happened afterwards made her unable to have a good impression of Liu Yiyi. She had even started to feel disgusted.

The Duke knew that Liu Yiyi had done something wrong. Not only was he not keeping a low profile, but he was even holding a banquet to announce her identity. She did not agree to doting on one’s daughter like this.

Xiao Ying looked at Long Ming. “I’ve been calling the Duke’s wife for the past few days and haven’t been able to get through. I’m a little worried about her.”

Not only could Xiao Ying not contact the Duke’s wife, but even Long Ming, who wanted to visit the Duke’s wife, was rejected. He had been told that the Duke’s wife had not been feeling well recently and needed to rest.

“Long Ming, I plan to go to the Duke’s palace tomorrow.”

Long Ming grabbed Xiao Ying’s hand. “I’ll go with you.”

“No, I’m alone. I keep feeling that something has happened to the Duchess. If you come with me, there might be a commotion and we might alert the enemy.”

Based on Xiao Ying’s understanding of the Duke’s wife, if she knew that Liu Yiyi had pushed the old lady into the water, the Duchess would not stand by and do nothing nor would she announce Liu Yiyi’s identity to the public.

Long Ming was worried about Xiao Ying and sent her two bodyguards.

The next day, Xiao Ying only went out with the two bodyguards after badgering her repeatedly.

When they arrived at the Duke’s house, Xiao Ying was rejected.

“Madam needs to rest. Second Miss cannot see Eldest Miss, so we can’t let you in for the time being.”

Xiao Ying did not barge in.

She returned to the car until the evening when a garbage truck drove out of the Duke’s house.

Xiao Ying instructed the bodyguard, “Follow the car in front.”

The bodyguard was confused. “Miss Ying, why are you following the garbage truck?”

“Although I can’t enter the Duke’s palace, I’ll be able to understand the situation from the trash.”

After the garbage was cleared, Xiao Ying and the two bodyguards put on masks and gloves.

The three of them searched through the rubbish for more than an hour.

Xiao Ying found the pill residue in a small bag.

Liu Yiyi’s illness was fake and the Duke was not sick. The bag containing the medicine was very exquisite and it was obvious that the Duke’s wife had drunk it.

Xiao Ying took the dregs and headed to the hospital.

After finding an expert, Xiao Ying handed the dregs to him.

The expert took the residue and tested it.

An hour later, the results were out.

The doctor told her that the dregs of the medicine contained a drug that made people mentally unstable. The dosage was not large, and even if she took a blood test, it would be undetectable.

However, if she took this medicine, her mental state would become worse and the side effects would get greater with time. It was very likely that she would hallucinate and her memory would deteriorate.

Hearing the doctor’s words, Xiao Ying’s hair stood on end.

How could this have happened?

If the Duke’s wife really ate it, the consequences would be unimaginable!

In order to confirm, Xiao Ying took out another packet of dregs from the trash the next evening.

In the end, there was nothing but normal supplements.

Xiao Ying told Long Ming about this. “Did I discover it too late? There’s no problem with the Duke’s wife’s medicine anymore. The Duke will definitely not believe me if I go to the Duke’s palace to question him with the dregs I found yesterday.”

“Long Ming, no matter what, I have to fetch the Duke’s wife first.”

Long Ming caressed Xiao Ying’s head, his eyes dark. “I’ll support you in whatever decision you make.”

That night, Long Ming accompanied Xiao Ying to the Duke’s palace.

Because of Long Ming’s identity, the guards of the Duke’s palace did not dare to stop him.

When Liu Yiyi found out that Long Ming was here, she hurriedly came downstairs.

Seeing that Long Ming was not alone and had brought Xiao Ying along, unhappiness flashed in her eyes.

“Brother Long Ming, are you here to find my father? He went out to do something and hasn’t returned yet.”

Long Ming did not want to talk nonsense with Liu Yiyi and said to Xiao Ying in a deep voice, “Go up and bring the Duchess down now.”

“Brother Long Ming, what are you doing…”

Before Liu Yiyi could finish, she was surrounded by the bodyguards Long Ming had brought.

After a while, Xiao Ying helped the pale and weak Duchess downstairs.

“Where are you taking my mother? What do you want?” Liu Yiyi shouted.

Xiao Ying glanced at Liu Yiyi. “The Duchess is my mother as well. I’ll take her to the palace for a few days.”

Liu Yiyi called the bodyguards over and wanted to snatch the Duchess back, but the latter hugged Xiao Ying’s hand tightly. “Ying’er, are you Ying’er?”

“I am, Mom.”

“Ying’er, Mom misses you so much.”

The Duke, who had received the notice, rushed back. He was originally furious. Even if Long Ming was a high and mighty king, he could not openly run to his residence to take his wife away.

In the end, he heard Madam’s words to Xiao Ying the moment he returned.

Recently, his wife’s mental state had been getting worse. When she looked at him, she would say things that he did not understand and would even ask him who he was… He had planned to bring her overseas for treatment after announcing Liu Yiyi’s identity.

“Dad, they trespassed into the Duke’s palace and even took Mom away. How could they be so lawless?” Liu Yiyi hugged the Duke’s arm with tears in her eyes.

The Duke looked at his wife, who was sticking close to Xiao Ying. This time, he ignored Liu Yiyi and looked at Xiao Ying instead. “Your Mom doesn’t even recognize me, but she still recognizes you. Maybe she will be more energetic when she’s with you. Please take good care of her for the next few days.”

“Dad, how can you let them take Mom away…”

Before Liu Yiyi could finish, the Duke interrupted her. “If you let your mother stay at home, she will go crazy. Do you want her to go crazy?”
