My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 782: Drama King Act 1

Si Mingjing nodded wisely. Since discovering the problem with the diet pills before the New Year, they had been waiting, and now the moment had arrived.

Mo Yinhe watched his younger sister’s expression change faster than one could flip through a book. Not yet understanding the situation, he remained unhurried and first placed Ye Siyuan on the living room sofa. His tall stature exuded a powerful pressure. Hands in his pockets, he waited for the two of them to explain.

"What exactly is going on?" Mo Yinhe’s slightly grave tone couldn’t hide his concern.

Ye Siyuan pulled two tissues from the box on the coffee table to wipe away her tear-blurred makeup. "Brother," she said, "someone wants to harm me. They recommended I take diet pills that would cause infertility. Fortunately, Yangyang warned me, and I didn’t take them. Otherwise, I would have been in serious trouble. Now, the person who wants to harm me thinks I’ve taken them and even deliberately hired people to stage a play, to make everyone believe my body is already ruined. It’s utterly despicable! I must personally expose the mastermind behind this!"

Mo Yinhe’s expression grew even darker. Could such a thing really be happening?

He turned back and shot Fengjue, who had followed him in, a cold stare. Why was I never informed of this?

Fengjue shivered. He hadn’t been aware of this matter previously; otherwise, such a significant issue could not possibly have gone unreported.

"Brother, don’t glare at Fengjue. It was Sister-in-law and I who decided to hold back and prevent any leak of information."

Song Yuan entered from outside, walked up to Si Mingjing, and reported, "Your Majesty, the individuals have been detained. The man’s name is Tan Dingyuan. He works at a hospital in the Atlantis Undersea Empire and was the companion brought by the Finance Minister’s daughter. He’s a Western-trained doctor with decent skills, but he knows nothing about traditional Chinese medicine." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ye Siyuan snorted. "If he really knew Chinese medicine, he wouldn’t have diagnosed me with infertility after taking my pulse. Someone must have prepared his lines in advance! The moment he hesitated with a ’but,’ this Princess knew he harbored ill intentions and was trying to trap me!"

Ye Siyuan spoke with pride, feeling she had grown wiser from her experience.

Si Mingjing asked, "What about the woman and the child?"

Song Yuan reported, "They’ve also been detained and are under interrogation. The woman came with relatives from S Country, on the same plane as the bride and groom. She’s related to S Country’s royal family."

Mo Yinhe’s expression was as dark as still water. So, it was all just a ’coincidence’? A relative from S Country’s royal family ’accidentally’ bumped into Si Yuan, and ’coincidentally,’ a doctor from Atlantis was on hand to examine her, leading to the ’exposure’ of Si Yuan’s supposed infertility—all seemingly without any conspiracy! However, when he processed this information, it clearly indicated to him that someone in Atlantis had orchestrated this, possibly even collaborating with people from S Country to cast a wide net.

Si Mingjing shared another piece of information. "Tangtang also took the diet pills. She came to me for a pulse diagnosis, saying they were recommended by a Yecheng socialite from the Chen family named Chen Fanfan.

I’ve checked, and taking diet pills for weight loss has become fashionable among Yecheng’s socialite circles. Chen Fanfan also learned about it from someone else. The other day, I had the chance to take Chen Fanfan’s pulse. She had taken too many diet pills, which indeed led to infertility.

I’m afraid many young women in Yecheng have already ruined their bodies by taking diet pills."

In their bid to trap Si Yuan, the mastermind had already harmed many young women who were merely pursuing beauty.

The culprit’s scheme was flawless, making everything appear to be a series of natural, unavoidable accidents!

Such methods were too vicious!

It now appeared their target wasn’t just Si Yuan, but Tangtang as well. The aim was to destroy both young women.

In a flash, Si Mingjing had pieced together the entire scheme. With a contemplative look, she said, "Tangtang is the only princess of S Country. If she becomes infertile, the S Country throne could fall into another family’s hands in the future. It seems the political waters in S Country run deep as well."

Mo Yinhe’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, his aura intensely imposing. He was also aware of the situation in S Country. Back then, his maternal grandfather was the Crown Prince of S Country but had been unwilling to go to S Country to inherit the throne, so he let his maternal uncle inherit it instead. Grandfather also had several brothers who were deeply resentful of Uncle inheriting the throne. However, Uncle was decisive and ruthlessly efficient, quickly securing his position and suppressing their ambitious kinsmen so thoroughly that they had no chance to overturn his rule. But Uncle had a fatal weakness: only one child. As the ruler of a nation with only one child, and a daughter at that—one could imagine what a great temptation this was for other members of the royal family. If Tangtang couldn’t bear children, then the future throne... No wonder Uncle wasn’t too pleased with Asheng as his son-in-law. The political waters in S Country ran too deep; Uncle feared Tangtang and Asheng wouldn’t be able to cope in the future.

"Don’t concern yourselves with this matter. Leave it to me," Mo Yinhe said in a deep voice.

Ye Siyuan’s foot was hurting. Unwilling to let it go, she said, "Brother, Sister-in-law said I need to experience more things so I can become invulnerable in the future. This is a good thing. Sister-in-law also became as alert and wise as she is now through such trials."

Mo Yinhe turned his head to look at his wife.

Si Mingjing shielded her eyes with her hand, feeling the intensity of Mo Yinhe’s gaze.

Ye Siyuan further fanned the flames. "Sister-in-law said that when she was on Prison Star, everyone around her was a death-row inmate, completely inhumane. Surviving in such a world, she stumbled countless times, but that’s how she accumulated a wealth of experience. Now, she’s no longer afraid of being tricked by anyone."

Si Mingjing desperately wanted to tell Ye Siyuan to shut up. Why bring this up now?

"So this is how my treasure was forged?" Mo Yinhe’s voice deepened, fraught with tension. He hated himself for not knowing she had been stranded on Prison Star for so many years. It was a guilt he couldn’t bear, his heart filled with self-reproach.

Si Mingjing explained, "Actually, it wasn’t that serious."

Mo Yinhe wrapped an arm around her shoulders and gently kissed her cheek.

At that moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Ye Siyuan didn’t know who was coming, but, caught up in her act, she suddenly burst into loud sobs again.

"Brother, don’t scold me anymore! Haven’t I just made the kind of mistake any girl could make?"

Mo Yinhe’s dark eyes narrowed as he watched his little sister’s dramatic display.

Ye Siyuan suddenly threw herself onto the sofa, burying her face in a cushion, sobbing uncontrollably.

Between sobs, she wailed, "How was I supposed to know there was something wrong with those diet pills? If I’d known they were so harmful, I wouldn’t have taken them even if you beat me to death! BOO HOO HOO..."

Si Mingjing also wrapped her arms around Mo Yinhe, as if to stop him from losing his temper and disciplining Si Yuan. "Alright, stop scolding her," she said. "What’s done is done. Raging about it won’t help. We should think about what to do. I can’t think of a solution right now, but both my masters are highly skilled in medicine; perhaps they have a way."

Forced by the two drama queens, Mo Yinhe huffed, pressing the bridge of his nose as he played along with feigned, intense anger. "Cry! You still have the gall to cry? Where’s your brain?! Even your sister-in-law isn’t sure she can completely cure you. I’d like to see if Si Lisao would still be willing to marry you if he knew you’d ruined your body!"
