Chapter 568: Secret Voice Transmission
If you think about it carefully, Lu Yunjue usually keeps a close eye on Lu's mother's room and only goes out on the day of the Miraculous Medicine Conference.
It was only after they came back that everyone was told that Mother Lu's condition had worsened!
So could it be that Miss Du deliberately lured them away and sent her own disciples to poison them?
There are actually many flaws in this idea, which is why Miss Du targeted Lu's mother instead of killing Lu Yunjue first.
But Hu Xiner's heart was now filled with fear. Even though she knew that her logic had loopholes, she could not let down her guard.
Miss Du saw her wary face and couldn't help but laugh: "Mrs. Lu, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to tell you. I had no choice but to knock out your maid and coachman."
Hu Xiner's mind is now full of the collusion between the Du family and the prince. How can she dare to believe what Miss Du said?
She stared at Miss Du closely, trying to find some clues, but ended in failure.
Seeing her so alert, Miss Du quickly glanced around, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Someone drugged the old lady!"
"What?!" Hu Xin'er was shocked beyond words. How could Miss Du know this?
Miss Du still had a smile on her face, but there was a seriousness in her eyes.
She held Hu Xiner's hand and walked into the room, while Hu Laosan followed closely behind.
After Dr. He got the prescription last time, he worked tirelessly to study it with his friends, and finally found that Lu's mother's condition seemed to be different from the original one.
After Miss Du learned about it, she hurriedly invited Hu Xiner over.
Even the wooden windows in the room were closed tightly. If someone else came, they would think that there was no one in the Hu family's house.
In the practice room, Miss Du thoughtfully prepared a blanket chair for Hu Xiner, while she herself sat casually on a wooden chair.
"There is another kind of toxin in her body, but my godfather doesn't know where this poison comes from." Miss Du took out a piece of paper with Doctor He's conclusion written on it.
"Is there any antidote to this poison?" Hu Xin'er was now in a state of confusion, not knowing whether she should trust the person in front of her.
However, she had no other choice but to continue mediating with Miss Du.
Miss Du took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and said uncertainly, "My secret medicine should be effective. But you must be careful at home."
Hu Xiner looked at the porcelain bottle, but did not immediately raise her hand to take it.
If the medicine in the bottle is real, then everyone will be happy, but if it is fake, feeding it to Mother Lu rashly may cost her life!
Hu Xin'er didn't know whether she should believe the person in front of her: "Since Doctor He has already prescribed the medicine, why didn't he come and tell us in person?"
Miss Du looked at her deeply and said, "Mrs. Lu, you have to ask yourself."
"What do you mean?" Hu Xin'er was a little confused.
Miss Du said softly, "Your Lu family was clearly not an ordinary family in the past, yet you've settled in Qingzhou and are pretending to be Zhao Si's sister. They say it's hard to leave one's hometown, especially since your aunt is ill and you're pregnant. The reason you're moving so hastily is simply because someone's seeking revenge."
Hu Xiner's expression changed.
In order to avoid being discovered by the prince's men, the Lu family has always lived in seclusion in Qingzhou City. Even in the management of the comic book store, she was the only one who showed up briefly a few times.
She didn't expect that Miss Du already knew their family background clearly.
Miss Du patted her hands and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to tell you that my godfather is old and timid, so he doesn't dare to have any contact with your family. He had to ask me to tell you this news."
"What about you?" Hu Xin'er couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come to help me?"
Miss Du winked at her and said, "So starting today, I have to cut off all ties with your Lu family."
Hu Xiner was stunned.
I originally thought that Miss Du wanted to harm them.
Unexpectedly, Miss Du came to announce the severance of diplomatic relations?
The open-hearted exchanges at the Wonderful Medicine Conference seemed like just yesterday, and the medicines donated by the Du family were still piled up in the Lu family's warehouse.
Although she was still suspicious of the Du family just now, Hu Xiner had to admit that if she had not met Miss Du by chance, their experience in Qingzhou City would have been much more difficult.
But unexpectedly, just when the misunderstanding between the two families was completely resolved, Miss Du took the initiative to come forward to sever ties...
It wasn't until a long time had passed that Hu Xin'er finally calmed down her complicated emotions: "Thanks to the Du family for taking care of us these days, our whole family is grateful."
"It's me who's causing trouble for your family." Miss Du was silent for a moment. "You seemed scared when I first invited you here... Did you already know that your aunt had been drugged?"
Hu Xin'er said nothing.
Miss Du continued, "Did you think I was colluding with your enemies to harm you? Now that you've discovered I just wanted to break off relations with you, are you both relieved and disappointed?"
This time Hu Xin'er nodded silently.
She took the porcelain bottle from Miss Du and prepared to go back to test the medicine before giving it to Lu's mother.
Miss Du smiled and said, "My parents don't know about this yet. If they knew, they would definitely help your family eliminate that enemy."
Hu Xin'er suddenly felt a little ironic: "Since we have already decided to sever ties, what's the point of Ms. Du saying this now?"
"Ah, because I just lied to you." Miss Du smiled, propping her chin on her hand. "I saw you were too nervous, so I just made a joke. I thought you would scold me, but you believed me."
A string of ellipsis appeared in Hu Xiner's head: "Do you think you are very humorous?"
Ms. Du's face was slightly innocent: "Why are you angry again? I just want to ease the atmosphere~"
The complexity of today's events exceeded her expectations, which made Hu Xiner no longer interested in entangled with the person in front of her, and she was too lazy to guess how much sincerity and falsehood were hidden in Miss Du's delicate heart.
So, she stood up and said, "Miss Du, if you really have no ill will towards me, please let me go back now."
But Hu Laosan said: "Wait!"
He stuffed a yellowed book into Hu Xiner's hand, probably because he was afraid of scaring Hu Xiner, so he moved very carefully.
Hu Xiner picked it up and saw that there were four big words written on the cover of the book: "Secret Sound Transmission".
"Isn't this your family's secret? Why are you giving it to me?" Hu Xiner asked with a frown.
Hu Lao San smiled and said, "We both have the surname Hu, which is a kind of fate. There are so many grudges and hatreds in the martial arts world. Although you are smart, you are still just a weak woman. If you can learn some skills, your future life will be better."
Hu Xiner thought about it and decided not to return the book.
Just as Hu Lao San said, if she could learn some martial arts, she wouldn't be a burden to Mu Qing every time she was chased.
