According to Xiao Ying and Tang Ens agreement, she could not mention the agreement to anyone within the month.

She did not have much time to waste, so she naturally could not wait for the blood clot in Long Mings brain to disappear or for the surgery to take place.

Mom, its true that I let him down in the past. Ill be alright no matter how he treats me.

Xiao Ying had just finished speaking when she heard a cold scoff. Madam, this woman is extremely cunning. You should be careful and not be deceived by her.

The Dukes wife looked at the man coming down from upstairs and she frowned. Although it was the King she was going against, the Duchess still stood on Xiao Yings side, and defended her daughter. Your Majesty, you were the one who let me see Yingers photo back then. You let her be the daughter of the Duke, but now youre telling us to open our eyes?

There was no change in Long Mings cold expression as he spat out coldly, Theres no way I would have done such a thing for a woman like that!

The Dukes wife wanted to say something, but Xiao Ying grabbed her hand and shook her head. Mom, dont say anything.

The current Long Ming would not believe that he had forgiven her and asked the Duke to acknowledge her as his daughter.

On the way back, the Dukes wife hugged Xiao Ying. He will regret it when he remembers it.

Mom, I dont need his regret. Actually, hes in a lot of pain now. The more he hated her, the deeper was his love for her. He simply couldnt walk out of the pain of being betrayed and hurt!

s

She would help him out!

Back at the Dukes palace, Xiao Ying called Long Mei.

Recently, Long Mei had locked herself in a hotel. Apart from visiting Wan Bao, she had almost shut herself out from the rest of the world.

Her boyfriend had taken Xiao Ying away. It had been so many days, but Xiao Ying was still nowhere to be found. Wan Bao was unconscious and she couldnt get through to her boyfriend No, that person was no longer her boyfriend.

The sweet nothings from the past were nothing but falsehoods in front of her. He had never loved her!

Hiding his real identity and finding a fake relative to lie to her. He had put in so much effort!

But who could she blame?

She could only blame herself for not opening her eyes and for choosing a jerk.

At the thought of having implicated Xiao Ying, Long Mei could not help but cry again.

These few days, she had almost shed all of her tears.

Just as Long Mei was crying uncontrollably, her phone rang.

Long Mei was slightly stunned when she saw the caller ID.

It was Xiao Ying.

Long Mei hurriedly answered the call and said in disbelief, Sister-in-law?

Hearing Long Meis sobbing voice, Xiao Ying asked softly, Meier, why are you crying?

It was really Sister-in-laws voice!

The tears that Long Mei had just managed to hold back fell again.

But this time, she was crying tears of joy.

Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, are you back?

Seeing that Long Mei was crying even harder, Xiao Ying comforted her. Im back. Im in the Dukes palace. Meier, dont cry. Im fine.

Long Mei blinked her tear-filled eyes and sniffed. Sister-in-law, when did you come back? Can I meet you?

Xiao Ying had called Long Mei because she wanted to meet her as well. She could guess that Long Mei would definitely feel guilty and blame herself after she disappeared.

They met at a cafe.

By the time Xiao Ying arrived at the cafe, Long Mei was already there.

Long Mei was wearing a long beige dress and sitting by the French windows. She had obviously lost weight.

Seeing Xiao Ying coming over, Long Mei hurriedly stood up.

Long Meis eyes were still slightly red and swollen. It was obvious that she had cried.

Seeing Xiao Ying standing in front of her, Long Mei sized her up before she pulled her into her arms again. She said with a choked voice, Sister-in-law, Im sorry. Im sorry. I was blind and had an b*stard of a boyfriend. I didnt expect him to lie to me so badly

Meier, dont blame yourself. If someone wants to use you, you wont be able to escape. Just like how I hurt your brother back then That boyfriend of yours will definitely regret it in the future. Dont let yourself be burdened by his mistake.

Long Mei was really hurt. She had been feeling dejected recently. Although Xiao Ying did not blame her, she could not forgive herself.

Meier, your brother has lost part of his memory. Hes extremely disgusted with me now. Do you have any good ideas for me to get close to him?

Hearing Xiao Yings words, Long Mei blinked. Did my brother forget about how he fell in love with you? Recently, Long Mei had locked herself in the hotel and had ignored everything outside. She did not know what had happened either.

He only remembers that I hurt him. He hates me now.

Long Mei pursed her lips, her fingers resting on her chin as she thought carefully for a while. Ill move into the palace. Then, youll have to suffer a little by being my personal maid. Once you move into the palace, youll have the chance to get close to my brother. Besides, Ill create opportunities for you.

Xiao Ying thought that Long Meis idea was not bad, but

Long Ming was disgusted the moment he saw her. Even if she was Long Meis maid, she would be chased out of the palace by him!

Long Mei also thought of this. She pondered for a while and suddenly snapped her fingers. I have an idea.

Xiao Ying followed Long Mei to the hotel and pressed Xiao Ying against the dressing table. Taking out the contact lenses that she had never used before, she chose a brown one and put it on her. Then she painted her face with a dark foundation and put a short wig on her.

Long Mei snapped her fingers. My makeup skills are not bad, right? Youre my maid now. If I dont look closely, I wont even be able to see your original appearance.

Xiao Ying looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was dark and her pupils were brown, making her look dull.

If she did not look carefully, she really would not be able to see through this disguise.

Sister-in-law, do you know how to cook?

Xiao Ying nodded. Yes.

Thats great. Isnt there a saying that if you want to capture a mans heart, you have to first capture his stomach?

Xiao Ying sighed silently in her heart. Would she really be able to capture the stomach of a privileged person like Long Ming?

In order to lessen her guilt toward Xiao Ying, Long Mei was very concerned about her matters.

s

That very day, she checked out of the hotel and returned to the palace.

After seeking Long Mings opinion and getting permission, Long Mei called Xiao Ying to let her into the palace.

Long Mei did not stay in the palace Long Ming had arranged for her. Instead, she found a guest room in Long Mings palace. In order not to arouse Long Mings suspicion, she could only let Xiao Ying stay in the servants room first.

To Xiao Ying, it didnt matter where she stayed.

Long Ming had once sent her to the laundry room to be a slave. She had endured the toughest days, not to mention that the servant room Long Mei had arranged for her was a single room with clean windows and clean bedsheets.
