Shen Hai Xiao Ye

Chapter 318 Lu Wanqing Stealthily Probes for News

"Mm-hmm, Mommy knows," Lu Wanqing replied.

Lu Wanqing couldn't help but lower her head and kiss her child again.

Xiao Yu Shu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mommy, are we really moving out?"

Lu Wanqing paused slightly, and after a moment, she looked down at her child and asked earnestly, "Shu Shu, are you willing to move out with Mommy?"

Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and then said, "We can redecorate a small home, a home that belongs only to us. At home, we can do whatever we want, be free, and no one will ever bully Shu Shu again!"

Xiao Yu Shu couldn't help but smile. She suddenly raised her head and placed a gentle kiss on her mommy's forehead. "Mommy, you're so good."

Lu Wanqing was also in a good mood because her daughter was truly too well-behaved.

"Sleep now, rest early, don't think too much," Lu Wanqing's gentle voice comforted her.

Xiao Yu Shu quickly nodded, "Mhm!!!"

Xiao Yu Shu lay down obediently. Lu Wanqing gently pulled the blanket up for her child. Then, mother and daughter lay in bed, quietly closing their eyes.

After a long time, a faint breath could be heard beside her. Xiao Yu Shu must have fallen asleep.

Lu Wanqing opened her eyes. In the pitch-black night, she opened her eyes and quietly looked at Xiao Yu Shu beside her. This child was truly heartbreaking, and her heart ached deeply.

What if honeysuckle couldn't be cultivated, and the mutated plant virus in Madam Yu's body could never be cleared?

No, she had to work hard too. No matter what, she would do her best and try. Perhaps she could cultivate honeysuckle?

As Lu Wanqing thought about it, her resolve slowly strengthened. She had a new goal and couldn't just drift through life anymore. She needed to study plant knowledge diligently.

Lu Wanqing had been in a daze all night, thinking about many things. She fell asleep very late, but she still woke up early the next day. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts, and she hadn't slept well last night.

After simply getting dressed, Lu Wanqing went downstairs. No matter what, she still had to make breakfast. She had to take good care of little Shu Shu.

However, as she went downstairs and walked towards the kitchen, Aunt Zhang, hesitating, followed her.

Lu Wanqing was busy. She caught a glimpse of Aunt Zhang out of the corner of her eye. After a moment of hesitation, she turned her head to look at Aunt Zhang and greeted her, "Good morning, Aunt Zhang~"

Aunt Zhang paused slightly at the greeting. After a moment of internal struggle, she walked in from outside, forcing a kind smile. "Miss Lu, good morning."

"Um, Miss Lu, are you making breakfast?" Aunt Zhang asked.

Lu Wanqing nodded. "Yes."

Aunt Zhang took a deep breath and then said, "Then, may I learn with you, just like before?"

Lu Wanqing was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "Okay."

Aunt Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, very happy, and quickly thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Lu. You are a very good girl."

A "good person" card?

Lu Wanqing smiled and casually replied, "You're too kind."

Aunt Zhang sighed and began to follow Lu Wanqing in making wontons. As she worked, she couldn't help but speak, explaining for Madam Yu. "Miss Lu, please don't take what Madam said yesterday to heart. Madam used to be very good. Madam was a very, very good person. She..."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, her voice suddenly choked. She raised her hand to wipe away the wetness in her eyes, then said, "Do you know, Madam was truly good. Even to strangers she didn't know well, she was very kind. If it weren't for the mutated plant virus, she wouldn't have become like this."

Lu Wanqing was surprised. She had seen the videos sent by Yu Nong, and Madam Yu did indeed seem like a gentle person before. She just didn't expect Aunt Zhang to also seem like someone with a story.

"Were you two very close before?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Zhang shook her head. "Not that close. It's just that Madam saved my entire family's lives before."

"Miss Lu, do you know, ten years ago, my husband and I, along with our children, were passing through a forest when we had bad luck and encountered a mutated plant."

"That mutated plant was too terrifying. My three children were dragged away by its vines. My husband, to save the children, was also dragged away by the mutated plant. They told me to run quickly, but..."

"I was despairing then. I thought, if my husband and children all died, what was the point of me living alone?"

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she looked at Lu Wanqing, her eyes already red. "I ran back. My husband told me to hurry and escape, perhaps I could find someone to rescue them."

"My husband's words stopped me. I started running back, but luckily, I met Madam and Sir. Madam and Sir had just gotten married then. They were collecting plant data in the forest together when they accidentally met me. I urgently pleaded for their help. They, without a second thought, accompanied me back, and were able to rescue my husband and three children from the mutated plant's vines in time."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, tears began to fall unconsciously.

Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then took out a clean tissue and handed it to Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang paused slightly, then thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Lu."

Lu Wanqing held back, but couldn't help but ask, "After Madam Yu was infected with the mutated plant virus, did her personality change a lot?"

Aunt Zhang nodded. "Yes."

"But I won't leave Madam. Even if everyone hates her, I won't leave Madam. I will stay with her, take care of her, until the day I grow old and can no longer move," Aunt Zhang said.

Lu Wanqing didn't say anything, but her heart was slightly touched. She hadn't expected such a touching story even in the interstellar era.

"Madam Yu... did she like An Zhi Zhi very much before?" Lu Wanqing thought, and couldn't help but ask again.

Aunt Zhang looked bewildered. "What?"

Lu Wanqing hesitated for a second, then said, "Meaning, did she like An Zhi Zhi more than Yu Nong, and listen to An Zhi Zhi more?"

Aunt Zhang frowned. "How is that possible? Young Master Yu Nong is Madam's child. Madam and Sir love each other so much, Madam must love the young master the most. As for Miss An... Madam usually likes her quite a bit, but it's impossible for her to like Miss An more than the young master."

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she suddenly thought of something, her expression filled with a sigh and worry. "But for some reason, after Madam was infected with the mutated plant virus, her relationship with Miss An seems to have gotten better and better, while her relationship with the young master seems to have become colder and colder. Sigh."

"What does An Zhi Zhi do every time she visits?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask again.

Aunt Zhang was stunned again. She hadn't expected Lu Wanqing to ask this, but it wasn't a secret, so she naturally explained, "She doesn't do much. Every time she comes, Miss An brings Madam some food, sometimes fruits, sometimes vegetables. Especially the green tea that Madam likes the most, which is cultivated by the Academy of Sciences, the best kind. Madam really likes to eat it."
