Ye Leng’an slowly withdrew her gaze and glanced at the unconscious Zhong Yating on the ground before calmly stating, “She’s not pretending. She really fainted.”

As a physician, her expertise far surpa.s.sed that of ordinary doctors in the mortal world. With just one look, she could discern that Zhong Yating had truly fainted, not feigned it.

Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

“Shouldn’t we help her up and take her back to her room?” Nangong Xiyu couldn’t resist speaking up. “Regardless, we can’t leave her lying here!”

Even though she looked down on Zhong Yating after learning about her actions and felt that divorcing her would be letting her off too easily, since they hadn’t divorced yet, and Zhong Yating had been forced to faint, it was only proper, both morally and logically, to send her back to her room and have a doctor examine her! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be ideal if something were to happen later on.

“She brought this upon herself.” Zhongyu Liuying had no sympathy. “After daring to do such things, her mental resilience couldn’t be so weak! Fainting now, under these circ.u.mstances, is definitely an act.”

She paid no heed to Ye Leng’an’s words, deeming both Ye Leng’an and Zhong Yating as malicious women. She suspected Ye Leng’an’s remarks were merely to aid Zhong Yating. Therefore, she remained unconvinced.

“But didn’t Leng’an say just now?” Nangong Xiyu hesitated. “She said Zhong Yating wasn’t pretending.”

Without looking at Ye Leng’an, Zhongyu Liuying responded with a skeptical tone, “She’s not a doctor. How can you be sure she’s not talking nonsense? Zhong Yating chose to faint precisely at this moment. Can you believe there’s no trickery involved?”

After Zhongyu Liuying’s retort, Nangong Xiyu fell silent.

Although she might have debated with Zhongyu Liuying on other matters, she refrained from intervening in today’s affair. After all, it concerned their family’s matters. Their presence here as the second branch was only because this issue had been publicly exposed, requiring their elders’ involvement.

She foresaw that if Li Yiran hadn’t exposed the matter in front of everyone today, even if Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had learned of it, they would’ve handled it privately. They would’ve only learned of the outcome – Huangfu Ruixiang divorcing Zhong Yating.

Unperturbed by Zhongyu Liuying’s remarks, Ye Leng’an showed no signs of anger. She didn’t even glance in Zhongyu Liuying’s direction, as if the words weren’t directed at her.

Nangong Xiyu remained silent, and Ye Leng’an’s words only strengthened Zhongyu Liuying’s resolve. She glanced at Li Yiran before issuing a directive, “Yiran, pour that gla.s.s of water on her. I don’t believe she can continue feigning unconsciousness.”

Initially vexed by her earlier interruption, Li Yiran’s eyes sparkled upon receiving Zhongyu Liuying’s command. However, her face betrayed reluctance and indecision. It was unclear whether she should comply and pour water on Zhong Yating.

Only G.o.d knew that her greatest desire at that moment was to slap Zhong Yating. Yet, pouring water instead was also gratifying. However, if she immediately followed Zhongyu Liuying’s orders, wouldn’t she appear excessively malicious in the eyes of others? Thus, she opted to wait.

“Why haven’t you acted yet?” Zhongyu Liuying’s impatience seeped into her tone. “Can’t I even command you?

“No, Mom. I’ll do it right away.”

Li Yiran resembled a submissive daughter-in-law reluctantly obeying. Yet, inwardly, she rejoiced.

She believed she could finally retaliate against Zhong Yating for all the indignities she had suffered.

Just as she was thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful when she saw the teacup on the table. If only the water on the table was boiling water, how much better it would be!

However, she couldn’t pour hot water now; otherwise, it would seem too deliberate.

Soon, under everyone’s gaze, Li Yiran poured the water from the cup onto Zhong Yating’s face.

In that instant, she experienced an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

Everyone antic.i.p.ated that Zhong Yating would awaken, whether she had truly fainted or was feigning it.

Yet, to their surprise, Zhong Yating remained motionless, still unconscious.

A wry smile crept onto Zhongyu Liuying’s lips as she observed Zhong Yating on the ground, her mockery intensifying. “Who would’ve thought, she’s quite the actress, isn’t she?”

Huangfu Ruixiang, who had remained silent, regarded the unconscious Zhong Yating with disgust and disdain.

Ordinarily, even if someone had truly fainted, being splashed with water would undoubtedly rouse them. Yet, Zhong Yating persisted in her pretense. Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t fathom her audacity.

Had it not been for the alleged life-saving grace, he would never have married Zhong Yating.

Little did he antic.i.p.ate that this purported life-saving grace was nothing but a ruse, orchestrated by Zhong Yating to coerce him into marrying her willingly.

Now that the truth had come to light, Zhong Yating showed no remorse, instead feigning vulnerability. It was utterly incomprehensible.

Upon witnessing Zhong Yating’s demeanor, his resolve to divorce her solidified. He refused to spend his life with such a woman, let alone share a grave with her.

Furthermore, he was still young. Even post-divorce, given his status, finding another woman from an affluent family in the mortal world wouldn’t pose a challenge.

With determination, Huangfu Ruixiang said to the unconscious Zhong Yating, “Zhong Yating, stop pretending. Regardless, I must divorce you today. I will not spend my life with someone like you.”

Standing nearby, Li Yiran couldn’t contain her joy upon hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s words. She knew her objective for the day would undoubtedly be achieved.
