Aunt Zhang shook her head upon hearing this, looking perplexed. "I don't know either."
Aunt Zhang looked up at the second floor, confused. "The doctor always said Madam was poisoned by a mutated plant virus, and that medicine could be made with honeysuckle extract as a medicinal guide to detoxify her. All the poison in Madam's body could be expelled."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing was baffled. So even Aunt Zhang didn't know?
Why did she feel like something was amiss here?
Lu Wanqing grew more uneasy the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but want to go upstairs. If Madam Yu didn't mind, could she explain it to her?
"Miss Lu?" Aunt Zhang noticed Lu Wanqing staring upstairs and couldn't help but speak.
Lu Wanqing quickly snapped back to attention. She looked at Aunt Zhang, hesitated, and then couldn't help but explain, "Aunt Zhang, I'm just a little worried about Madam Yu."
She didn't mean to eavesdrop on the Yu family's private secrets. It was just that this matter concerned the Yu family's happiness. Yu Nong and Shushu were inextricably linked to this family. Ultimately, she hoped Madam Yu would get better.
Aunt Zhang nodded at this, then sighed again. "Mm."
"How could it not work?" The next moment, Aunt Zhang frowned, unable to help but say, "When we used the medicine before, Madam clearly improved after taking it."
Hearing her words, Lu Wanqing quickly pressed, "What medicine?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned, then explained, "It was medicine made from honeysuckle. When the incident happened back then, Young Master recovered after using the medicine, and Madam also took some. Although the dosage wasn't enough, Madam's condition did stabilize."
"Although her temper was a bit worse, at least she could maintain her sanity and didn't turn into a lunatic."
Lu Wanqing quickly pressed again, "So, you're saying that the medicine made from honeysuckle was effective for Madam Yu in the past?"
Aunt Zhang froze, looking at Lu Wanqing's eyes blankly. She reacted and nodded, "Yes, it was definitely effective."
"Madam took some medicine and clearly got much better. Otherwise, given her condition back then, the doctor said her mental sea was on the verge of collapse," Aunt Zhang muttered.
Lu Wanqing: "..." The more she heard, the more something felt wrong.
"Aunt Zhang, have An Zhizhi visited Madam Yu at the Yu family's home all these years? Have they been alone together?" Lu Wanqing thought, and then asked.
"Ah?" Aunt Zhang was stunned, looking at Lu Wanqing in surprise.
Aunt Zhang reacted and quickly nodded, "Yes, they have. Madam really likes Miss An. Every time Miss An visits, Madam asks me to leave so they can chat alone for a while."
Lu Wanqing's heart pounded. She couldn't help but wonder if An Zhizhi could have done something during those times Madam Yu and An Zhizhi were alone together?
The Yu family was so naive. Even if An Zhizhi did something to Madam Yu, they probably wouldn't think too much of it, right?
Lu Wanqing stopped thinking. She sat down in the living room, with little Yu Shushu, and waited silently for Yu Nong and Madam Yu to finish their talk and come downstairs.
Little Yu Shushu was worried. She couldn't help but say, "Mommy, I want to go up and see."
Lu Wanqing gently rubbed her child's head, comforting her silently.
Time ticked by. It was quiet upstairs, with no movement.
Lu Wanqing's mood was also very heavy. She was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open her optical computer and start searching for news on the interstellar network.
She wanted to know what exactly happened back then. Would there be any news on the interstellar network?
However, there wasn't. This seemed to be a minor matter for the Yu family, not significant enough to make it onto the interstellar network.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, and then began to search for news about the An family. As a result of this search, she suddenly discovered something.
An Zhizhi's father became the dean of the Academy of Sciences' Botanical College not long after the incident at the Yu family. This... was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but investigate the An family's information in more detail, especially information related to An Zhizhi's father.
An Zhizhi's father seemed truly remarkable. In the field of botany, especially in the research of mutated plants, he had published many articles and made many outstanding contributions.
The most significant achievements were the research into the weaknesses of many aggressive plants, and the development of many methods and drugs to specifically counter these aggressive mutated plants.
Because of An Zhizhi's father's research, the interstellar population had more ways to deal with aggressive mutated plants, making everyone safer.
Lu Wanqing searched through the information, and time unknowingly passed. It wasn't until little Shushu beside her suddenly stood up and ran towards the stairs.
"Daddy!" Little Yu Shushu saw her father coming down from upstairs and immediately stood up from the sofa and ran over.
Lu Wanqing also looked up. She subconsciously stood up and looked at Yu Nong.
Yu Nong's face was grim and gloomy. It was evident that he was very unhappy at the moment.
Lu Wanqing also quickly went over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Madam Yu followed them in. She looked at Lu Wanqing, her voice unusually gentle. "Miss Lu, could I trouble you to go to the study with me? We need to talk alone."
Lu Wanqing was surprised by this. She looked up at Madam Yu in astonishment.
Yu Nong quickly reached out and blocked Lu Wanqing. "Mother, there's no need."
"This matter has nothing to do with Wanqing, she doesn't need to be involved," Yu Nong said, his voice muffled.
Lu Wanqing, however, looked at Madam Yu and agreed, "Okay."
Yu Nong was anxious. For the first time, he took Lu Wanqing's hand, shaking his head. "No need to go."
"It has nothing to do with you," Yu Nong wanted to say, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
"I will not give up on Shushu," Yu Nong suddenly said. His tone was still low, but his voice was firm.
"I... I can marry her, but Shushu is my daughter. As long as Shushu is willing to be with me, I will not give up on Shushu," Yu Nong added.
Marry her?
Marry whom?
Lu Wanqing was shocked and incredulous. A name quickly popped into her mind – An Zhizhi!
What on earth was going on?
Why would this suddenly involve An Zhizhi?
Even if honeysuckle couldn't detoxify Madam Yu, Yu Nong didn't need to marry An Zhizhi, right?
Lu Wanqing still remembered how much Yu Nong detested An Zhizhi. He would wash his hands vigorously after being touched by An Zhizhi, as if he wanted to scrub off his own skin. Such intense disgust, marrying Yu Nong to An Zhizhi, wasn't that throwing Yu Nong into a fiery pit?
Lu Wanqing was anxious. She turned to Madam Yu and couldn't help but say, "Madam Yu, let's talk alone."
This time, even if Madam Yu didn't want to talk to Lu Wanqing, Lu Wanqing still wanted to clarify things with Madam Yu. Many unspoken matters made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Mm," Madam Yu nodded in agreement.
Madam Yu turned and went upstairs.
Lu Wanqing quickly followed.
"Lu Wanqing!" Yu Nong suddenly grabbed Lu Wanqing, his voice anxious. "Don't go."
"It has nothing to do with you," Yu Nong said.
