Chapter 137

Nan Tao smiled gently and said, "I'm going to the Yu residence to visit my parents."

Yu Xue: "I'll go 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 their grandfather.

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.

The people from Nan Tao behaved particularly well in front of Old Master Yu.

The old man was over seventy years old and in poor spirits. After dinner, he expressed his concern for Yu Ze for a few words and asked the housekeeper to push him upstairs to rest.

Several people in Nantao breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man's aura is really too strong. I always feel uncontrollable 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 frame 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 messages in the mood boards of her relatives were all empty.

Maybe there is some restriction that I can only see other people's gossip, and the gossip about my family can only appear 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, "Xiao Taozi, you like flowers and plants just like mommy."

Nan Tao smiled awkwardly. It wasn’t that she liked flowers and 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." As he said this, he made a distressed look.

She was indeed not lying. The flowers and plants she grew would die as soon as she grew them. She was known as the killer of flowers and plants. She had never been able to keep any plants alive and even the easiest cactus had been killed by her.

Yu's mother's biggest hobby is growing flowers and plants. The potted plants she trimmed previously won international awards.

"I'll take you to the garden outside to see the flowers and plants I planted. I tell you, once you become interested, you'll have discovered the secret."

"Ah-Yang and Xiao-Xue are both stupid people. They haven't inherited any artistic talent from me."

"These flowers and plants are easy to grow. You just need to water them. You don't have to worry about them."

Nan Tao's scalp tingled, and she regretted making this excuse. She said quickly, "Mom, don't hold out too high hopes. I don't have any talent in this area. If I raise a baby, it will die. I can't keep it alive."

Yu's mother: "It's okay. Everyone has been through this time. Just take good care of it and it will be able to survive."

Nan Tao: “…”

In the garden, Nan Tao listened to nearly half an hour of plant science lectures. The content was very professional. The only drawback was that it sounded too much like a mystery, making her dizzy and sleepy. She even almost forgot the purpose of coming here today.

When I walked out of the greenhouse, I shivered in the strong wind blowing at the door. I suddenly remembered what I was doing today, and quickly grabbed Yu's mother, "Mom, I saw a kind of flower on the Internet recently, and I'm quite interested, but I don't think I can see it in the greenhouse. Let's go in and take a look."

Mother Yu: "What kind of flower?"

Nan Tao tilted her head and thought for a while, "What was his name? Eh? I think it was..., 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 tapped her head with her little hand and said, "Forget it, I still can't remember it. I have pictures saved in my phone. Mom, wait for me for a while."

He took out his cell phone, fiddled with it, found the photo, and showed it to Yu's mother.

"Look, mom. Well, I've been interested in growing flowers and plants lately. I was just browsing the Internet and saw someone say this flower is quite famous. It's said to be a species 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 that I met a close friend abroad? She happened to have carefully cultivated this kind of flower. Knowing that I liked it, she reluctantly gave it to me. It is now in my bedroom. I will 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: "This flower is called Lithops. It has bright colors, beautiful patterns, and looks like a stone. People who like this kind of flower will like it very much."

Nan Tao: "Mom, does your best friend also like flowers?"

Yu's mother: "I didn't like it before, but I started to like it later."

The two chatted as they returned to the house.

Yu Xue was playing games on the sofa. When she heard the noise, she asked casually, "Are the flowers pretty?"

Nan Tao: "..., next time you can go and enjoy it with me."

Yu Xue pretended to be busy playing games and said she didn't hear this.

Yu's father and mother'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 Chinese architecture. It is a house passed down from ancestors and has a history of three to four hundred years.

The old man lived on the second floor, Yu's father and mother lived on the third floor, Nan Tao and his younger generation lived on the fourth floor, and the housekeeper lived 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 looks too ugly.]

Yu's mother was surprised and doubtful, and stared at Nan Tao for a few seconds.

Nan Tao didn't dare to get too close. She 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 couldn't find the cause. Who would have thought that this flower was poisonous? ]

[This bad woman is really vicious. In order to frame my mother-in-law, she deliberately used a lot of water soaked with blackheads to feed this potted flower, and her plan succeeded. ]

【Fortunately, God has eyes. 】

[I have to find a way to get my mother-in-law to give me this pot of flowers.]

Yu's mother 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? 】

[I had a nightmare, did I see the future? ]

[Do you think this is too much? Do you think I am talking nonsense? ]

[No, I can't panic. I have to stay calm.]

Yu's mother sighed slightly, "Maybe I was 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.

[The baby was scared to death. ]

[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 brows and said, "Nothing, why did you come up here?"

Yu Xue's eyes moved 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 voice downstairs just now.

Then he heard someone poisoned his mother, and he rushed over immediately.

Yu Xue pretended to be curious, "Mom, what kind of flower is this? It looks so ugly."

Nan Tao slapped Yu Xue's restless little hands, "Don't touch anything."

Feeling that what he said was wrong, he added, "What if my mother's flowers are damaged?"

Yu's mother said angrily, "You are so old, but you are still clumsy and make your sister-in-law worry."

Yu Xue stuck out her tongue, "I know."

"Mom, who gave you this flower?"

Mother Yu frowned, then quickly relaxed her brows, "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 pouted and muttered, "You want flowers from everyone. Nowadays, all best friends are black-hearted. They either steal someone's husband or kill someone. I've seen many examples online."

Yu's mother poked Yu Xue on the forehead, "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 can only 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 falling on the potted plants on the balcony, a dark light flashing 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 smiled secretly and whispered to Nan Tao, "Dad is so old, but he still sticks to his wife all the time."

Father Yu glanced at Yu Xue.

Yu Xue quickly fell silent, pretending that she had said nothing just now.

Nan Tao suppressed her smile and looked down at the tip of her shoe.

Mother Yu and Father Yu looked at each other and said, "You two go downstairs and play first. Your father and I have something to talk about."

Nan Tao: "Mom, I really like this flower pot. Can 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 will pay the price for plotting against me."

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 weird and metaphysical thing happened, the fewer people know about it, the safer it will be for my daughter-in-law.

After a while, the Yu family's specially hired gardener came upstairs, holding special gloves and tools in his left hand and a pot 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, both eager to make a move.

I really want to go up and take a look.

3rd floor,

Following Yu's mother's request, the gardener put on gloves and exchanged the soil for 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?"

Mother Yu: "Put some more soil on top of the green tea flower, until it is indistinguishable from the soil underneath. Also, don't touch the soil with your hands. Disinfect your hands after handling it."

The gardener was confused, but he still did as he was told.

Mother Yu smiled contentedly and said, "Sure, thank you for your hard work."

At this moment, the housekeeper called and said that someone named Liu Yan, who claimed to be Yu's mother's close friend, came to visit and was now waiting outside the villa.

Mother Yu sneered: "Let her in."
