Chapter 173 If You Can’t Do It, I Will

Zhuo Yu's breath was very deep, and his face was grim as he said, "It was Lan Yan who told me how to use ice gourd to cure purple castor beans, and the ice gourd pills were also made by Lan Yan. Before this, I had to eat purple castor beans to maintain my condition when I had an attack."

"So although Zhuo Hongli adopted you as his son, he actually used purple castor beans to control you. This stuff is slowly addictive. When did he start giving it to you?"

Zhuo Yu thought for a moment and said, "Not when I was a child. Although he was very strict with me, he was still good to me. Then I suddenly had an attack. At first I didn't know that I was poisoned by purple castor. Later, Uncle Zhao gave me purple castor and I was relieved. Then I realized that I was addicted. I was fourteen years old that year.

Initially I suspected that I was framed by someone, but Uncle Zhao was a close confidant of my adoptive father, so I was a little suspicious, but still couldn't believe it. Later, other people were also poisoned in the same way, and I realized that this was a means for my adoptive father to control people, but I never thought that it would be used on me.

Later I asked Uncle Zhao, and he said it was an accident. He said that the banquet was originally held by my adoptive father to reward his subordinates, and the wine was poisoned. I went there to drink it, so I was also poisoned.

This poison is addictive. Uncle Zhao helped me get rid of it. When it came back, I was able to control it, but Uncle Zhao sent me another dose. After this happened over and over again, I could no longer control myself. I always carry purple castor beans with me, just in case. "

As Zhuo Yu spoke, his mood became even heavier. He had not thought about it carefully before, but now when he thought back, every single thing made him feel colder and colder inside.

If it was an accident, they shouldn't have given him the antidote. He could clearly control the detoxification by himself at the beginning, so why did Uncle Zhao show up every time and ask him to continue taking it?

Uncle Zhao is his adoptive father's confidant. If his adoptive father didn't know, Uncle Zhao wouldn't dare to let him, the young master, become addicted step by step.

But he never thought too much about it and didn't want to doubt his adoptive father. After all, it was he who raised him. If it weren't for his adoptive father, he would have died long ago.

So even if I felt something was wrong, I could still find an explanation for my godfather.

"Jing Ji, An Tu and Qiu Shi who are around you, are they all your people, or your adoptive father's people." Mo Yunzhu thought about this problem.

"They are all my people. My adoptive father's people are actually all in Wanyao Pavilion, such as Lan Bo and others. So when I go to Wuguo Wanyao Pavilion, there are actually my adoptive father's people there. So my adoptive father is actually very clear about my every move."

When Zhuo Yu said the last sentence, he raised his head and looked at Mo Yunzhu with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"The truth is often very cruel. Don't think too much. The most important thing is that you are still alive and can find out what the truth is." Mo Yunzhu looked at him and said in a deep voice.

Zhuo Yu was very distressed and asked: "What should I do now?"

"Do you think your adoptive father will know about the fact that you sent people to Chen State to investigate?"

"Even if I don't know the details, I should know something. After all, if the people I sent out don't go to Chen State's Wanyao Pavilion, then it must be my personal matter." Zhuo Yu said, "But my adoptive father has already left the mountain."

"What is he doing out of the mountains?"

"I don't know. Maybe he wants to check the accounts. He comes out every few years. Or maybe he comes to visit some friends and he will come to see me too." Zhuo Yu said.

"So, we'll be able to see him soon."

"I don't know whether he is on his way to Qingyun or in Chen State." Zhuo Yu said, "But if he is here, the Flying Eagle will definitely arrive early."

Zhuo Yu started to feel a little nervous.

"I don't know how to face him now."

"Brother Yu, I don't know how to persuade you, but you should at least start making some plans for yourself. Once he knows that you know he is the murderer of your father, how will he treat you? If he wants to kill you, will you let him do it?

Besides, you have been running Wanyao Pavilion for so many years and have made a lot of money for it. If he turns against you, you will get nothing. Are you going to do the same for your enemy?"

Zhuo Yu was shocked and looked at Mo Yunzhu and said, "If we really want to fight, I don't think I can match him."

Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "He knows you, but you don't know him, so you will definitely lose. But it's not too late now, right? Think about whether there is any way to restrain him? At least this is Qingyun, you still have us, we can help you."

Zhuo Yu's eyes changed when he looked at Mo Yunzhu, and then he nodded deeply.

"I understand. I'll go back and think about it carefully. All my efforts over the years can't just go to waste on him." Zhuo Yu clenched his fists.

Mo Yunzhu smiled and thought that it was a good thing that he was not the one who could let it go, otherwise she would be exhausted.

"Brother Yu, there is actually another way. You don't need to worry about whether your adoptive father is a good person or a bad person. Because he is the enemy who killed my mother, I will definitely avenge my mother. You don't need to take action."

A cruel smile appeared on Mo Yunzhu's lips.

Zhuo Yu was stunned, he really forgot about this. What's the point of getting entangled in it? After all, it was a fact that his adoptive father poisoned his aunt. Since Qi Hong didn't know their identities, there was no need to lie.

So Mo Yunzhu is my aunt's daughter, so how could she let her enemy go?

My own position becomes a matter of whether or not to hold on!

"So, Brother Yu, if you are too entangled, just pretend you don't know. Then don't take any action, or you will be in trouble."

"No, no, that's also my aunt." Zhuo Yu said quickly, but his chest was depressed again.

"He is also your adoptive father." Mo Yunzhu began to persuade him, "You can't do it. It is possible that when you can't bear to do it, he will take your life directly."

Zhuo Yu shuddered all over. He knew that based on his understanding of his adoptive father's humanity, he could indeed do it.

"By the way, does your godfather have any family?"

Zhuo Yu shook his head and said, "No, after he retired, he had a woman who was his godmother, but they never got married, and then the woman died."

"How did he die?"

Zhuo Yu frowned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, they said he died of illness."

"How much do you know about your godfather's past?"

Zhuo Yu thought for a moment and said, "I really don't understand. I only know that I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, doing business with my master, watching him make medicinal herbs, and learning from him. I really don't know anything else. I don't even know if my master has ever been married."

Mo Yunzhu sighed in her heart, thinking that her cousin was really a bit stupid.

After being together for such a long time, he actually knew nothing about his adoptive father's past.

"I only know that when I traveled to various countries, anyone who offended my adoptive father would die miserably. Business deals that could not be concluded would eventually be reached out of fear of the other party. At that time, Wanyao Pavilion had just been established, and later it seemed that it was conquered by my adoptive father." Zhuo Yu tried his best to recall.
