Chapter 312 - The Reason for the Incident

Lu Zheng smiled awkwardly and said softly to ease the atmosphere, “I see. I’ve learned something. I’ve learned something.”

Seeing that the conditions had been negotiated, Mo Zhu did not waste any more time. Considering that the old man from the Lu family had a deep relationship with Old Master Huo in the past, she quietly thought for a while and instructed Lu Zheng, “On the account of Grandpa Huo, you can just give me the liquid funds and profitable companies in Lu family’s entire assets. You can keep those real estate assets for yourselves.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Lu Zheng looked at her in surprise. Just as he was about to smile and thank her, Mo Zhu continued, “Also, I have to go back and study this poison of Old Master Lu’s seriously. Before I come again, don’t let anyone else approach him except you!” After saying this, without waiting for Lu Zheng’s reply, Mo Zhu waved at Huo Xuan and brought him downstairs.

As her grandmother had been poisoned by a poison that was difficult to deal with, other than living normally all these years, Mo Zhu had been quietly researching uncommon poisons in the market. Her goal was not only to cure her grandmother’s poison, but also to develop more types of antidotes to deal with more difficult toxins.

Just now, she had given Old Master Lu a simple pulse checkup. Although she had seen the doctor’s diagnosis in the past and used silver needles to seal a few of his major acupuncture points to slow the speed of the poison in his body, due to the poison in his body being too domineering, they had still flowed through the small blood vessels in his skin and quickly invaded Mo Zhu’s body.

Fortunately, the internal energy in the girl’s body circulated automatically to protect her. Otherwise, she would have been seriously injured by the poison.

Before she left, Mo Zhu did not remove the silver needles from Old Master Lu’s body. She hoped that she could use this method to slow down the circulation of the poison. This way, when she came to treat Old Master Lu the next time, there might be new progress. After the two of them left, Lu Zheng arranged for servants to buy a lot of protective clothing from the nearby hospital. He then instructed someone to wear it and quickly clean up Old Master Lu’s room.

After settling everything, Lu Zheng sat on the sofa in the living room and pondered over what Mo Zhu had said before she left.

With Mo Zhu’s explanation, the special events in the Lu family in the past could be explained logically. When Old Master Lu had just fallen ill, there would always be some servants or relatives in the Lu family who died mysteriously. Furthermore, these people usually died from blood loss, and the doctors could not find any suspicious causes.

Precisely because of this, the Lu family had always been in a state of panic. There were also rumors that the family had offended an expert and was cursed. During this period of time, even Lu Zheng had not been living very peacefully. With Mo Zhu’s explanation this time, when he thought about it carefully, those people who had died mysteriously had indeed taken care of the old master or came to visit him before they died, so Mo Zhu’s words were really true.

On the other side, after Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan left the hotel, the two of them casually found a hotel by the road and ate dinner before speeding back to the Huo family.

Just as she returned home, Mo Zhu went to the storage room to get a bunch of herbs and went straight into the kitchen. After a while, she placed a few bottles of refined pills on Huo Xuan’s desk.

Seeing Huo Xuan sitting at the table looking at the documents with a serious expression, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and said, “Get Mo Wu to send these to Lu Zheng tomorrow morning. Tell him to give Old Master Lu pills at fixed intervals. Take three pills a day and control the poison first. I’ll personally cure Old Master Lu when I return from Beijing.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu raised her hand and yawned twice before returning to her room to sleep without waiting for Huo Xuan’s response.
