"This... how could this be?" Aunt Zhang became nervous, suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Since Madam contracted the virus from the mutated plant, her personality had changed drastically. The situation yesterday was definitely not intentional. If Madam hadn't been poisoned, she would never have driven Miss Lu and Miss Shushu away.
Lu Wanqing merely said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and quickly continued packing. There was no need to hesitate about decisions already made, nor was there a need for further persuasion.
What they needed to pack was not just Xiao Yu Shu's belongings, but also Lu Wanqing's. The combined belongings of the two were neither a lot nor a little. Especially the plants that the child had planted in the glass greenhouse, some were destroyed by An ZhiZhi, but a few were still alive. Shushu was reluctant to leave them behind, and if they were to be taken away, they would die if left at home without care.
While they were packing, Aunt Zhang watched anxiously. After a long hesitation, she finally turned to find Madam with a worried expression.
Aunt Zhang rushed into Madam Yu's room and said anxiously, "Madam, this is bad, Miss Lu is really moving out, and Miss Shushu, Miss Shushu is also leaving with Miss Lu."
Madam Yu's expression was cold. "If they want to leave, so be it. This house doesn't welcome them!"
Aunt Zhang anxiously replied, "Madam, Miss Lu and Miss Shushu are both very good, especially Miss Shushu, she is young master Yu Nong's daughter! This is her home too. If they move out..."
"Madam, why don't you go out and persuade them? If you say a few words and forgive them, perhaps Miss Lu and Miss Shushu won't leave." Aunt Zhang urged.
Madam Yu turned her head, her eyes were very cold.
Looking at Madam Yu's icy face, Aunt Zhang had many words to say, but for some reason, they suddenly felt stuck in her throat.
Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yu Shu were leaving. Yu Nong also had some things packed, and planned to move to Lu Wanqing's place tonight with them.
Yu Nong didn't necessarily want to live in Lu Wanqing's house, but this was Shushu's first time moving out of home, and he was worried. So, he wanted to accompany Shushu. However, his belongings were packed, and he still needed to inform his mother?
Yu Nong hesitated, then walked to his mother's door. He paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gently knocked.
Inside the room, Madam Yu and Aunt Zhang, who had been silent, suddenly heard a knock. Both master and servant turned their heads towards the door.
The next moment, Aunt Zhang went to open the door.
When the door opened and she saw Yu Nong, Aunt Zhang was slightly surprised, but quickly became happy. "Young Master Yu Nong, are you here to see Madam?"
Young Master Yu Nong probably didn't want Miss Lu and Miss Shushu to move out like this either, so he came to beg Madam for mercy, right? Especially Miss Shushu, she was Young Master Yu Nong's child after all, and a member of the Yu family, how could she just move out? The thought made her feel reluctant.
"Yes." Yu Nong nodded, confirming Aunt Zhang's question.
Madam Yu also looked up at Yu Nong, her eyes indifferent, giving no indication of her emotions.
Yu Nong spoke to greet her, "Mother."
"Something wrong?" Madam Yu asked coldly.
Yu Nong nodded, his voice muffled, "Yes, Shushu and Lu Wanqing are moving out tonight. I want to go with them to take a look."
Aunt Zhang's face changed drastically. Miss Lu and Miss Shushu were one thing, but why was Young Master Yu Nong also moving out? If Young Master Yu Nong moved out, wouldn't that leave only Madam in this house?
Madam Yu's brows immediately furrowed. She said displeasedly, "I don't agree!"
Yu Nong paused, his voice muffled, "I've already packed my things." This implied that he was here to inform her, not to ask for her opinion.
Madam Yu's temper flared up instantly. She casually picked up a nearby cushion and threw it at Yu Nong. "Yu Nong! How dare you disobey me?!"
Yu Nong did not dodge, enduring the impact. He lowered his head and continued, "It's Shushu's first time moving out, and I'm worried."
"You shut up!" Madam Yu was so angry that she was panting heavily.
"You, you... you're going to make me angry to death!!!" Madam Yu's face turned pale. She stood up, pointing at Yu Nong with her finger, trembling all over, almost unable to breathe.
Aunt Zhang anxiously took out a pill for Madam Yu and urged her, "Madam, you can't get angry, don't get angry."
After taking the medicine, Madam Yu felt a little better. She glared at Yu Nong furiously and shouted, "Yu Nong! Kneel down!!!"
Yu Nong hesitated, then knelt down.
Madam Yu turned and went into the room to look for something. She had a whip made of mutated bamboo, specifically for disciplining children. If a child was disobedient, she would whip them!
Aunt Zhang had been serving Madam Yu for many years. Seeing her actions, she knew what Madam was looking for, and became anxious. She quickly grabbed Madam Yu.
"Madam, stop looking. Young Master Yu Nong is already so old, he knows what he's doing. There's no need to hit him."
Madam Yu was furious, "Where is my whip?"
Lu Wanqing, after finishing packing, came to find Yu Nong with little Shushu. She had to inform Yu Nong before leaving.
However, after searching everywhere, she unexpectedly found them in Madam Yu's room.
Madam Yu, holding the bamboo whip, struck Yu Nong's back fiercely, again and again.
Yu Nong lowered his head, his lips pressed tightly together, and remained silent, letting his mother whip him.
"Daddy!" Seeing her father being hit, little Yu Shu immediately became anxious. She rushed forward, wanting to run and hug her father.
Don't hit Daddy anymore!
Little Yu Shu's eyes suddenly turned red again. Daddy was so good, Daddy hadn't done anything wrong, why was Grandma hitting Daddy!
Tears fell unexpectedly, landing on Yu Nong's neck, feeling cool.
Yu Nong also reacted, quickly pulling little Yu Shu into his arms to protect her. The child was young and might not be able to get hit.
Lu Wanqing also reacted. She quickly rushed forward and grabbed Madam Yu's whip-holding hand, stopping her from striking again.
Before this, she had always thought that Madam Yu's behavior was due to the mutated virus, and that she should be tolerant, considerate, and understanding. But at this moment, her heart pounded rapidly, and she even felt angry. She felt she couldn't stand it anymore. So what if Madam Yu was infected with the mutated virus? Yu Nong was such a good person, why was he being beaten like this by her?
"Madam Yu, that's enough!!!" Lu Wanqing finally couldn't hold back. She snatched the whip from Madam Yu's hand, her eyes fierce, and roared at Madam Yu.
"He is your son, your son! Do you remember? Your son, whom you and your husband loved the most!!!" Lu Wanqing roared with the loudest voice she had used since coming to the interstellar era. She truly couldn't stand it anymore, it was too infuriating!
