Chapter 137
Nan Tao smiled gently and said, "I'm going to the Yu residence to visit my parents."
Yu Xue: "I'm going too. Wait for me."
Yu Ze: "Mommy, and me."
So, Nan Tao took Yu Xue and Yu Ze to Yu's house.
It just so happened that Mr. and Mrs. Yu were having lunch with the old man.
Seeing them coming, the old man told the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.
The old man has a kind face and is approachable, but his aura is so strong that people dare not act presumptuously.
Nan Tao and the others behaved very well in front of Mr. Yu.
The old man was over seventy years old and in poor spirits. After dinner, he expressed concern for Yu Ze and asked the housekeeper to push him upstairs to rest.
Nan Tao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man's aura is really too strong. I always feel uncontrollable and under great pressure in front of him.
After dinner, Nan Tao walked around the house, but didn’t see the potted plant in her dream.
Could it be that Yu's mother placed it in the bedroom?
Nan Tao looked up at Yu's mother. There was only a bubble box above her head, and the content inside was empty.
It wasn't just Yu's mother who felt the same way. She also discovered that the bubble boxes of her relatives were all empty.
Maybe there is some restriction, I can only see other people's gossip, and the gossip about my family can only be presented in the form of nightmares.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" Yu Xue asked curiously.
Nan Tao: "The potted plants my mom grows are pretty."
Yu Xue was not very interested in flowers and plants, so she sat back on the sofa and watched TV.
Mother Yu's eyes lit up. "Little Taozi, you like flowers and plants just like me."
Nan Tao smiled awkwardly. She didn't like flowers or plants, she was just looking for that pot of flowers.
Suddenly he thought of something and his eyes rolled. "Mom, I've become interested in flowers and plants recently, but I don't understand them and don't know how to take care of them." He said this with a distressed look.
She really didn't lie. The flowers and plants she planted would die as soon as she started to grow them. She was known as the flower and plant killer and had never been able to keep any plants alive. She had even killed the easiest-to-grow cactus.
Yu's mother's biggest hobby is growing flowers and plants. The potted plants she trimmed before have won international awards.
"I'll take you to the garden outside to see the flowers and plants I planted. I tell you, once you're interested, it means you've finally gotten the hang of it."
"Ayang and Xiaoxue are both stupid. They didn't inherit any of my artistic talent."
"These flowers and plants are easy to grow. Just water them and you don't have to worry about them."
Nan Tao's scalp tingled, and she regretted making this excuse. She quickly said, "Mom, don't hold your hopes too high. I don't have any talent in this area. I'll die if I raise it. I can't keep it alive."
Yu's mother: "It's okay. Everyone goes through this time. You can raise him if you take good care of him."
Nan Tao: “…”
In the garden, Nan Tao listened to a plant science lecture for nearly half an hour. The content was very professional. The only drawback was that it sounded too much like a heavenly book, making her dizzy and sleepy. She even almost forgot the purpose of coming here today.
Walking out of the greenhouse, he shivered in the strong wind blowing at the door. He suddenly remembered what he was doing today and quickly grabbed Yu's mother. "Mom, I saw a kind of flower online recently that I'm quite interested in, but I don't think I can see it in the greenhouse. Let's go in and take a look."
Yu's mother: "What kind of flowers?"
Nan Tao tilted her head and thought for a while. "What was it called? Huh? I think it was called..., but I can't remember it right now."
Yu's mother was very patient. "Don't worry, take your time to think about it."
Nan Tao hit her head with her little hand and said, "Forget it, I still can't remember it. I have pictures saved on my phone. Mom, wait for me for a while."
He took out his cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, found the photo, and handed it to Yu's mother.
"Look, Mom, well, I've been interested in growing flowers and plants lately. I was just looking around online and saw someone say this flower is quite famous. It's said to be a variety from southern Africa."
Yu's mother was surprised, "You like this kind of flower?"
Nan Tao: “…”
He coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little interested. Mom, have you ever grown this kind of flower?"
Mother Yu smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Do you remember when I told you I met a close friend abroad? She happened to have carefully cultivated this flower. Knowing I liked it, she reluctantly gave it to me. I'm growing it in my bedroom. I'll take you to see it."
Nan Tao frowned.
I guessed it right.
It was this pot of flowers in the nightmare that caused Yu's mother to lose her life silently without anyone noticing.
Yu's mother said: "This flower is called Lithops. It has bright colors and beautiful patterns. Its shape resembles stone. People who like this kind of flowers will especially like it."
Nan Tao: "Mom, does your best friend also like flowers?"
Yu's mother: "I didn't like it before, but I like it later."
The two returned to the house while chatting.
Yu Xue was curled up on the sofa playing games. When she heard the noise, she casually asked, "Are the flowers beautiful?"
Nan Tao: "..., next time you can go and appreciate it with me."
Yu Xue pretended to be busy playing games and said that she didn't hear this.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu’s rooms are on the third floor, and the entire floor is filled with them.
The architecture of Yu's house is very ancient, perfectly presenting the traditional culture of ancient buildings in China. It is a house inherited from ancestors and has a history of three or four hundred years.
The old man lives on the second floor, Yu's father and mother live on the third floor, Nan Tao and other younger generations live on the fourth floor, and the housekeeper lives on the first floor.
Going up to the third floor and entering the bedroom, Nan Tao saw the lithops placed on the balcony, enjoying the bright sunshine.
Nan Tao narrowed her eyes.
[Is it this pot of flowers that killed my mother-in-law? ]
[She's so ugly.]
Yu's mother was shocked and confused, staring at Nan Tao for a few seconds.
Nan Tao didn't dare to get too close, and looked around the pot of flowers at a distance that was just right, not too far or too close.
[I really can't tell at all. No wonder I can't find the cause. Who would have thought this flower was poisonous?]
This wicked woman is truly vicious. To frame my mother-in-law, she deliberately fed this pot of flowers with a large amount of water soaked with Aconitum, and her plan succeeded.
【Fortunately, God has a vision. 】
[I have to find a way to get my mother-in-law to give me this pot of flowers.]
Mother Yu rubbed her temples and asked, "Taozi, did you say anything just now?"
Nan Tao: "No, what's wrong, Mom?"
【Did I accidentally say what I was thinking just now? 】
【Ahhh, no. 】
If someone asks me how I know this, how should I answer?
【You said I had a nightmare, did you see the future? 】
[Do you think this is too much? Do you think I'm talking nonsense? ]
[No, I can't panic. I have to stay calm.]
Yu's mother sighed barely perceptibly, "Maybe I'm just too tired. I didn't sleep well last night due to jet lag, so I was hallucinating for a while."
Nan Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
【I am so surprised. 】
[Luckily, fortunately, I don't have to rack my brains to figure out how to explain it.]
"Mom, what are you and sister-in-law talking about?"
Yu Xue's voice came from the door.
Mother Yu pinched her eyebrows and asked, "Nothing, why are you here?"
Yu Xue's eyes rolled around, and she secretly glanced at the pot of flowers on the balcony.
I was startled when I suddenly heard my sister-in-law's inner voice downstairs just now.
Then he heard someone poisoning his mother and rushed over.
Yu Xue pretended to be curious, "Mom, what kind of flower is this? It's so ugly."
Nan Tao slapped Yu Xue's restless little hands and said, "Don't touch anything."
Feeling that what I said was wrong, I added, "What if I break my mother's flowers?"
Mother Yu said angrily, "You are such a grown-up, yet you are still clumsy and make your sister-in-law worry."
Yu Xue stuck out her tongue, "I know."
"Mom, who gave you these flowers?"
Mother Yu frowned, then quickly relaxed, "Your Aunt Liu gave it to you."
Yu Xue: "Who is Aunt Liu?"
Yu's mother: "My best friend since childhood is Liu Yan. You met her when you were a child."
Yu Xue curled her lips and muttered, "You want flowers from everyone. These days, girlfriends are all black-hearted. They either steal someone's husband or kill them. I've seen many examples online."
Yu's mother poked Yu Xue on the forehead and said, "You are the one who knows more."
Nan Tao: "Mom, I think Xiaoxue is right. Didn't you say that best friends haven't seen each other for more than ten years? We know a person's face but not his heart. We still have to be vigilant."
Yu Xue said proudly: "Mom, look, my sister-in-law said I was right."
The three were talking when the bedroom door was pushed open again.
Father Yu frowned, exuding a cold air. He glanced at Nan Tao, then looked away. His gaze fell on the potted plants on the balcony, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Yu's mother: "Aren't you working in the study?"
Father Yu whispered, "It's done, come and take a look."
Yu Xue chuckled and whispered to Nan Tao, "Dad is so old, but he's still always clinging to his wife."
Father Yu glanced at Yu Xue.
Yu Xue quickly fell silent and pretended that she had not said anything.
Nan Tao suppressed her smile and looked down at the tip of her shoes.
Mother Yu and Father Yu looked at each other and said, "You two go down and play first. Your father and I have something to discuss."
Nan Tao: "Mom, I really like this pot of flowers. Could you give it to me?"
Mother Yu pinched Nan Tao's fair face and said unhappily, "Why are you worrying so much? I'll call the gardener to come and take care of it later."
Nan Tao didn't quite understand what it meant and was pushed out of the bedroom in a daze.
Only Yu's father and mother were left in the huge bedroom.
After looking at each other, Yu's mother raised her eyebrows and spoke first: "Did you hear it too?"
Father Yu: "How do you want to deal with it?"
Mother Yu sneered, "You dare to plot against me, you will have to pay the price."
Afterwards, the couple discussed it and decided to keep the fact that they could hear their daughter-in-law's thoughts a secret.
Although I don’t know why such a strange and metaphysical thing happened, the fewer people know about it, the safer it is for my wife.
After a while, the gardener hired by the Yu family came upstairs, holding special gloves and tools in his left hand and a flowerpot of green plants in his right hand.
Nan Tao and Yu Xue couldn't tell what breed it was, so they craned their necks to look upstairs.
Yu Xue: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Nan Tao: "I don't know, do you know?"
Yu Xue shook her head, "I don't know either."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of eagerness.
I really want to go up and take a look.
Third floor,
Following Yu's mother's request, the gardener put on gloves and exchanged the soil of the lithops with the potting soil he brought.
Yu's mother: "Is this the Green Kona Camellia?"
The gardener nodded: "Do you think this is okay?"
Yu's mother: "Put some soil on top of this pot of green camellia, just enough to make it indistinguishable from the soil underneath. Also, don't touch this soil with your hands. After you're done, go disinfect your hands."
The gardener was confused, but he still did as he was told.
Mother Yu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
At this moment, the housekeeper called and said that someone named Liu Yan claimed to be Yu's mother's best friend and was here to visit and was waiting outside the villa.
Mother Yu sneered: "Let her in."
