The man propped his head up with his hand, showing some interest. "Oh? You said you saw Lu An'an at the Jin family's house? When Jin Yan came over, didn't she kick him out of the Lu family's house because of his strange attire?"
Madam Lu froze. How did her mistress know so much detail? But she dared not ask and only replied respectfully, "Yes, she wasn't kicked out."
The man smirked and chuckled, "Interesting. Go on."
Madam Lu nodded and continued, "After Li Hao gave out the medicine at the Jin family, Jin Fangguo only kept Li Hao and kicked me and Rongyu out. I don't know what happened at the Jin family after that, and Li Hao hasn't called me to this day."
The man took a sip of tea and asked, "And then?"
"After that, Rongyu and I went to Lu Mingqian's house, intending to cause a scene, but it seems they discovered that Rongyu had sent someone to kill Lu An'an, so I..."
The man slammed his teacup down, interrupting Madam Lu, his tone ambiguous: "Lu Rongyu sent someone to kill Lu An'an?"

The man dismissively tossed the old woman aside, then slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. "Any more?"
Lu Yanhua paused for a moment, her voice hoarse: "Then, when we were leaving, Lu An'an asked me how I met Li Hao, and also asked if I knew what medicine Li Hao had. I was wondering if she had discovered something?"
The man paused in wiping his hands, then chuckled, "Lu An'an, you've really surprised me."
Lu Yanhua was somewhat confused and cautiously probed, "Master, what do you mean?"
"This is none of your business. Go back."
The man didn't answer, but simply gave instructions.
Seeing that the man gave no further instructions, Lu Yanhua left the teahouse shakily.
The man stared into the distance of the tea room and chuckled softly: "Lu An'an, huh, it's An'an."
