Her insinuations were so audible,' she knew it was mango juice, but she took it all by herself, probably planning to commit suicide.'
Huo Ting Cheng was turning around to reprimand Tang Fei, but the kids rushed over and held his hands as everyone else went down to their knees trembling.
"Daddy Daddy... Don't be harsh on her; she just wanted to have something to eat; if we knew she was allergic to the mango juice, we wouldn't have let her drink it!" Huo Zhihao was the first one to plead for his mother. He could tell she just wanted to drink something, and the fact that she was allergic to the mangoes hadn't occurred to her with the way she enjoyed the cold, refreshing mango juice.
"Yes father, it should be that woman's fault! Why didn't she label the juice containers knowing Momma is allergic to the mango juice? Maybe this is what she has been planning all along and try framing my Mother! It should be her fault for negligence." Huo Fenghao added more salt and blamed that woman for this entire incident.
How could they let their mother be wronged because of that Nanny? That hot potato was immediately tossed over to that woman, and she had to defend herself; after all, everything was pointed out to her, and this insinuated that she intentionally could have done it to get rid of their mother.
Immediately, Huo Ting Cheng softened, feeling a bit bad for scolding her, and probably it was that Nanny's fault.
"My kids prefer having passion and pineapple juice. They have never been a fan of mango juice, and I did instruct you to never purchase mangoes in this house, so who did you buy and blend for?" Huo Ting Cheng coldly glared at the woman who was tearing up.
"Sixth Master Huo, you are wronging me, she is the one that requested I blend some mango juice for her... I had to buy some mangoes." The woman nervously responded in between her sobs, gazing at Tang Fei, waiting for her to plead for her as usual, but this time, things seemed to be different.
Tang Fei couldn't remember giving those orders, and then she had been locked up for the past few days of which no one knew about it apart from the closest people to Huo Ting Cheng, so when did she tell her?
"Nanny Guo, why are you trying to frame me? I have been sick for the past few days, so when did I tell you to blend some mango juice? That mango juice tastes fresh!" In an aggrieved manner with tears all over, she queried feeling like Huo Ting Cheng was very slippery and could change his attitude towards her at any minute.
Huo Qi and Huo Ting Cheng hadn't expected that she would say sick instead of being locked up.
"Father, I also did take a sip; it's really fresh like it has been blended today!" Huo Minghao wouldn't be left behind when it came to protecting their mother; she did look innocent, and they didn't mind lying to her.
"You are all lying! That juice ain't fresh! I didn't do anything wrong!" Nanny Guo, the guards, the secretary, and even Huo Qi, were surprised that the kids were vouching for their mother.
"Huo Qi, get rid of her this instant." He dismissed the case just like that. The servants knelt there trembling; they knew he was a ruthless man, but did he have to seal her fate just like that, without even trying to find more information about the situation?
They just didn't know that Huo Ting Cheng had been wanting to get rid of her, but all the time, he got obstructed by Tang Fei's pleading.
Seeing she wasn't pleading for her, he got a perfect opportunity to get rid of her.
"Young Misses... You are wronging me, I didn't do anything!"
"Tang Fei, please ask him to let go of me... I didn't do anything wrong, you are framing me!" She had just completed the statement when Huo Qi held her head and turned it sideways snapping that neck.
You could hear the bones snapping and cracking; this action was very cold; some servants fainted, and two guards got up, walked over to the body, and dragged it away. There was no stain of blood whatsoever, Huo Qi did a clean job.
"Do I need to check anything?" Huo Qi strode over to where Huo Ting Cheng was standing; now, the kids had let go of his hand and went over to calm their mother down on the couch.
"No need....." Sixth Master Huo shook his head gazing at the aggrieved woman and kids.
Tang Fei was lying flat on the couch facing the ceiling and was immediately relieved the moment Huo Ting Cheng shook his head. They would easily find out that they had lied if they went over to the kitchen to check out things. Tang Fei's heart softened, recalling that the kids chose to lie to their father just so that he couldn't hurt her or lock her up once again.

Tang Fei was lying flat on the couch and was immediately relieved the moment Huo Ting Cheng shook his head. They wouldn't be found out that they had lied. Tang Fei's heart softened, recalling that the kids chose to lie to their father just so that he couldn't hurt her or lock her up once again.
"I'm sorry..." Huo Ting Cheng immediately apologized gazing at Tang Fei. He was apologizing to her, and Tang Fei didn't know how to react.
She lightly nodded her head, closed her eyes, and pretended to fall asleep. This situation was too awkward for her. He has apologized for their lies.
"You have all been dismissed, just go back...." Huo Qi was the one who spoke up after noticing this awkward atmosphere around them. Huo Ting Cheng felt bad that he blamed her when she was innocent and it had to be that woman's fault.
They all scattered away in fright without looking behind them; they left behind Huo Ting Cheng, Huo Qi, the secretary, the kids, and their mother.
For his apology to sound sincere, he decided to do something to show how remorseful he was for blaming her.
"What do you want to have, I can make it for you! Just state anything and I will prepare it for you." He gazed at the kids before gazing at Tang Fei.
Tang Fei was surprised that he volunteered to cook, but it was best if he didn't step inside the kitchen for the time being as they hadn't cleaned the crime scene.
"Not now, maybe later on, we will tell you when we are hungry." She hoarsely spoke up without opening her eyes. She felt nauseous, and it wasn't a good idea to eat anything at the moment, and mostly, he had to stay away from the kitchen.
He turned around to look at the kids but they were also in sync with their Mother.
"We are fine, Daddy... Don't worry..." They smiled back at him in a coded way, and he couldn't do anything apart from walking back to his study room.
Secretary Li and Huo Qi trailed behind him, going over to the study room to mind their own business, seeing the situation was under control and nothing they needed to worry about.
Tang Fei opened her eyes in a slit checking out, seeing they had gone over to the study room and even closed the door, she got up staggering and went into the kitchen with the kids, they found the mango juice that was in the containers and flashed it down the sink tossing the containers into the other sink that was meant for dirty utensils.
How could they leave something so incriminating for Huo Ting Cheng to find?
"Mommy, we didn't want to lie but we had to..." Huo Zhihao hurriedly spoke up, explaining to their mother that they didn't want to have a tainted image when it came to her. She had to know they were good kids, and they lied due to the circumstances.
"Yeah, I know..." She pinched their chubby cheeks, sitting on the marble floor, laying down flat, facing the ceiling, trying to catch her breath. She was feeling exhausted and weak from that short distance walk.
The kids also lay down on the marble floor, leaning their heads on her tummy, facing the ceiling, and accompanying each other quietly with their eyes closed. They thought their mother was scared of their father; thus, they kept quiet, accompanying her.
What if she decides to run away again? No, they had to hold her back tightly and tell her that their father wasn't a bad person.
Huo Ting Cheng, who had gotten back to the study room, immediately opened the CCTV footage and watched their series of actions; earlier on, he had noticed how they were brushing him off! So they probably had lied about this mango juice.
No one knew the kitchen had CCTV cameras installed as they were invisible. He actually didn't know if he should cry or laugh at their little actions of pouring the mango juice.
But watching the footage when she had drunk that mango juice, it didn't seem like she did it intentionally, after smacking her lips, he could see some contentment pasted on her face.
"They lied?" Huo Qi also believed whatever they had said, but their actions said otherwise.
"What do you think?" He closed the footage that was recording them lying on the floor. Even if he wanted to work, he couldn't concentrate.
"Laying on that cold marble floor ain't healthy! What if they catch some cold?" Secretary Li, who had seen the kids and Tang Fei on the floor, wondered if they didn't feel any cold.
"Aren't you seeing they are lying down there peacefully?" This was the first time he had seen his kids relaxed. He was hopeful that she had finally recognized her mistakes and was ready to be a mother.
