Lu Mo was instantly enraged. Ye Susu was truly wicked. It was just a prescription, yet she used such a vicious method to harm Qingqing!

“Ye Susu must know where the antidote came from. Let’s interrogate her!” Lu Mo said.

Pipi shook her head vigorously, "Absolutely not! You can't afford to mess with the people behind Ye Susu right now. Let's talk about it in a few years!"

"Who's behind what?"

Lu Mo sensed something was wrong, his expression turned serious, and he felt that things were getting more and more complicated.

Pipi realized she had let something slip and remained silent for a long time after Lu Mo asked her, which angered Lu Mo, who then grabbed Pipi again.

"Let go, and I'll tell you everything!"

Left with no other choice, Pipi had to explain everything.

“Your wife’s ancestors were imperial physicians, and very skilled ones at that, serving more than a dozen emperors,” Pipi recounted the Xu family’s history.

"The Xu family became more and more prosperous and their status rose higher and higher, but when it came to the 18th generation, the Xu family suffered a devastating disaster. Only an infant in swaddling clothes escaped, who was your wife's ancestor."

The more Lu Mo listened, the more astonished he became, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why would they suffer such a catastrophic disaster?"

"Because the Xu family had a scandal at the time, the eldest daughter of the Xu family eloped and even had twins with her lover. The patriarch of the Xu family was furious and sent people to bring the whole family back..."

At this point, Pipi sighed. The scene was still vivid in his mind. He had witnessed the Xu family go from prosperity to ruin and disintegration. It was a tragedy that could not be described in a single word!

Ultimately, all the troubles stem from one word—

Affection!

“The eldest daughter of the Xu family eloped with a rebel soldier. Such a rebellious identity would not be approved by the entire Xu family. Moreover, if the court found out that the eldest daughter of the Xu family had a child with a rebel soldier, the entire Xu family would be implicated.”

Pipi sighed again.

"But in the end, the Xu family was still implicated because of this rebel son-in-law, right?" Lu Mo asked.

Lu Mo couldn't think of any other reason besides treason that could cause a large family that had served more than a dozen emperors to fall apart overnight.

Pipi nodded. "Although the Xu family kept their mouths shut, someone still leaked the information. The imperial court executed the entire Xu family on charges of colluding with the rebels, and only a baby escaped."

"Where are Miss Xu and the twins?"

Pipi's expression turned solemn. "They had already escaped before the Xu family's incident, but the rebel has been executed. Only the eldest daughter of the Xu family and her twin daughter escaped."

Lu Mo's heart stirred, and a possibility suddenly came to mind.

"Is the daughter of these twins one of the people behind Ye Susu?"

Pipi glanced at him a few times. He was quite clever, but he didn't know how to control his strength.

"They are descendants of that daughter. The eldest daughter of the Xu family has an extreme personality and firmly believes that the Xu family killed her husband and son. Therefore, she has been instigating her daughter since childhood to avenge her father and brother, and because of this..."

Lu Mo continued, "This daughter's descendants are enemies of the Xu family at every turn, right?"

"Yes, it is precisely because of this arch-enemy that the Xu family has become increasingly sparsely populated and unremarkable over the past few hundred years, and has gradually declined!"

Pipi sighed deeply, looking dejected. Thinking of sad memories, it couldn't cheer up at all.

If it weren't for its protection of the Xu family all these years, the Xu family would have been wiped out long ago by that damned descendant of the eldest young lady!
