And Dong Yuanyuan was even more panicked at this moment.

At the same time, she was extremely annoyed in her heart.

Why did Lu Qiao have to say these things to Mingming?

Standing behind the crowd, she wished she could disappear from here right now.

Dong Ze and the old lady exchanged a look. Dong Ze suddenly turned his head to look at Dong Yuanyuan behind him, his expression stern, and lowered his voice: "We were truly careless. Yuanyuan, tell me the truth now, did the cat really knock over the vase?"

Lu Qiao naturally heard this sentence and was not surprised at all. Dong Ze and the others had a habitual trust, and since she and Qin Hengzhi hadn't raised any objections, the Dong family felt that what Dong Yuanyuan said was the truth.

Who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly?

At this time, Dong Yuanyuan stepped back, and this appearance of Dong Yuanyuan made the faces of both Dong Ze and the old lady change.

At this moment, Lu Qiao also turned her head to look at Dong Yuanyuan and asked: "Do you have something to say to your sister?"

Facing the inquiry, Dong Yuanyuan was naturally at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Just at this moment, the anxious Dong Mingming kept shouting: It wasn't Huahua, it wasn't Huahua, Huahua didn't knock over the vase at all...

Unfortunately, these sounds were just shouting in her heart and could not be called out.

Lu Qiao held her hand and said: "When I go back, I will discipline Huahua properly and not let it run out and cause trouble..."

"No, it wasn't Huahua!" A hoarse voice interrupted Lu Qiao's words...

Everyone was stunned.

Then they saw Dong Mingming, who had been lying there seemingly motionless, had already opened her eyes. She turned her head with great effort to look at the people in the ward.

Then her gaze fell on Dong Yuanyuan: "You, you are lying. Huahua didn't knock over the vase. I, I was behind you at the time, I saw your arm waving toward the vase, and then the vase shattered... It was you, it was you who knocked it over!"

Lu Qiao felt a burst of joy; it seems the energy in her space also has the ability to clear away negative emotions.

She felt that Dong Mingming at this moment... was much stronger, which was a great thing.

Old Mrs. Dong couldn't care about anything else and was also pleasantly surprised. She then rushed over, her voice choked with sobs: "Mingming, you're awake, this is truly wonderful. Grandma was wrong, it's Grandma who let you down..."

Dong Mingming looked at the old lady and closed her eyes, but tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes drop by drop.

Lu Qiao took out a handkerchief to wipe Dong Mingming's tears. Over there, Dong Ze and Lian Liying also arrived at the bedside almost at the first moment.

Lu Qiao let go of her hand and stepped back.

Dong Ze's eyes were red, and the tears he had been holding back fell down. He said in a hoarse voice: "Mingming, it's Dad's fault, Dad was wrong..."

Lian Liying felt the heavy stone pressing on her heart also fall away. As long as she's awake, it's fine; as long as she's awake, everything else can be discussed.

Dong Ze was decisive this time. Looking at his guilty eldest daughter, if he didn't know he had been deceived by her, he would be stupid to death.

But now is not a good time for arguing; he hurried to call the doctor on duty...

After a round of examinations and questioning, the doctor on duty also said happily: "Everything looks normal for now. Tomorrow, after the shift starts, we will have a consultation... Note, do not let the patient's emotions become too agitated."

"Okay, okay, we will remember." The old lady immediately promised.

Dong Ze said: "I know, we will just say a few words to the child."

At this time, the nurse called for the doctor on duty.

The doctor on duty also hurried out, as there was something going on in another ward.

He told the nurse: "When the time comes, just let them leave one person to accompany the patient." After giving the instructions, he left in a hurry.

At this time, everyone calmed down a bit. Dong Yuanyuan, who had been hiding in the back, was pulled over by the old lady. Today's matter is big; it's not just a simple lie. Dong Ze said: "Yuanyuan, you saw the vase matter too. Lu Qiao paid twenty thousand yuan. This is not a small amount, so are you prepared to tell the truth here, or are you prepared to go to the military department to tell the truth?"

There is a security and joint defense office at the military department, which also handles some matters between military dependents.

And Dong Ze didn't dare to continue muddling through this time. If things continued in such a muddled way, something big would happen.

So the tone of his voice was also stern.

No matter what he was thinking at this moment, he had to get through the difficulty in front of him.

Lu Qiao didn't speak. With the groundwork laid until now, it was basically enough. Dong Yuanyuan wouldn't continue to be arrogant; she would tell the truth immediately.

If she really insisted to the end, she would actually admire Dong Yuanyuan.

Unfortunately...

Dong Yuanyuan cried. She didn't dare to wail loudly, but she collapsed on the ground, weak all over, covering her face and sobbing.

Dong Ze pulled her up without mercy, his voice stern: "No crying. Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"

Dong Yuanyuan sobbed and glanced at Dong Mingming, who was lying there glaring at her. Shame, annoyance, and jealousy surged in, but she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Dong Mingming glanced at Dong Yuanyuan, a flash of disgust in the depths of her eyes, along with fear—this was an instinctive emotion. But when she touched Lu Qiao's gentle gaze, she remembered the whimpering meows of Huahua just now and the little sparrow's fluffy head rubbing against her cheek, and warmth surged in her heart.

But at the same time, she felt a wave of heartache; it was her fault for letting Huahua suffer such grievances.

Tears flowed down again, but Dong Mingming felt that the trace of fear she had just felt seemed to have disappeared.

Replacing it was courage, and another emotion: seeing Dong Yuanyuan like this, she suddenly realized that this eldest sister was nothing more than this. She would also be afraid, would also cry, would also no longer dare to be arrogant and domineering, and she wouldn't always be able to be high and mighty.

Only she had seen the scene at the time, but her mind was a bit chaotic then, and she only thought about smoothing things over like in the past; otherwise, Dong Yuanyuan would be endless, and Grandma would only scold her.

But now her mind was incomparably clear. She looked at Dong Yuanyuan and said once again: "I can swear that what I said is the truth. Dong Yuanyuan, you are lying. Why did you frame Huahua for the vase you knocked over, and why did you make Sister Lu pay money?"

Dong Ze's expression was complex. At this moment, he believed that his younger daughter was telling the truth.

And Old Mrs. Dong only had regret in her heart, feeling that the twenty thousand yuan in the house was like a time bomb.

She grabbed Dong Yuanyuan's arm, hating her to the core: "Are you still not telling the truth? Then I agree with your father's suggestion to send you to the military department. This matter isn't over; let them continue to investigate until you tell the truth."

Dong Yuanyuan naturally didn't dare to go. She finally lowered her head and admitted that what she said was a lie, that the vase matter had nothing to do with Lu Qiao's cat, and that she had stubbornly blamed it on the cat...

Although it was certain that Dong Yuanyuan had lied, waiting for her to admit it herself was another kind of feeling.
