Chapter 1092: Snow Lotus

Editor: Atlas Studios

In school, Xu Huan always acted like a big sister, surrounded by a group of delinquents.

Xu Huan was shocked. She had indeed done something wrong that time. No wonder Zhuang Qing hated her so much. Xu Huan could only deny it. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything bad at all. Don’t slander me.”

The two of them wanted to continue arguing, but they did not expect Zhuang Xuan and Yu Su to walk downstairs.

Zhuang Xuan looked at the two of them and said, “Xu Huan, go up. Don’t feed Mother that bowl of medicine anymore. It’s cold.”

“Okay.” Xu Huan looked at Zhuang Qing guiltily and immediately went upstairs. She regretted teaching that poor student a lesson. She should not have done it herself. Now that Zhuang Qing had something on her, would Zhuang Qing tell Zhuang Xuan?

After Xu Huan left, Zhuang Xuan brought the two of them to the study again.

As soon as Yu Su sat down in the study, she said, “Your mother has been poisoned with a slow-acting poison. She only has three years left to live.”

“What?” Zhuang Qing and Zhuang Xuan stood up from their stools.

Zhuang Qing’s tears flowed down first. “Sister Yu…”

Zhuang Xuan’s eyes were also red. The study room fell silent. Zhuang Xuan said word by word, “Is there a way…”

Yu Su shook her head. “The poison in her body has already penetrated deep into her bone marrow. There’s poison in the cracks of her bones, unless…”

“Unless what?” Zhuang Xuan’s heart was ignited with hope. He stared at Yu Su, hoping to hear a good outcome.

Yu Su said, “Unless you can find the Rock Peak Snow Lotus. This snow lotus is extremely effective in removing poison. If it can be used as her medicine, there’s still a chance of recovery. However…”

Yu Su paused for a moment before continuing, “However, this snow lotus only appears once every 500 years. I heard that the only remaining one has already been sent to the national museum. It’s undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to the heavens for you to obtain this snow lotus.”

Zhuang Xuan clenched his fists and said word by word, “No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try.”

“Alright, you should be clearer on who had drugged her now,” Yu Su said sternly.

Zhuang Qing punched the wall. “I have a guess.” He was silent for a while before continuing, “I think that person is Dr. Xu.”

“Why?” Yu Su asked.

Zhuang Qing looked at his eldest brother. “Brother, actually, there’s something I didn’t tell you. When my sister was lost, I vaguely saw a figure that looked like Dr. Xu, but I’m not sure.” After so many years, he had always had doubts, but he didn’t have any evidence.

Zhuang Xuan frowned. “But she’s Father’s good friend. If it’s her, what’s her motive?” The Xu family and the Zhuang family were family friends. Back then, their father and Dr. Xu had almost got married. If Zhuang Yu had not fallen in love with Xu Qian at first sight, Zhuang Yu and Xu Jin would have gotten married.

Zhuang Qing said excitedly, “But Brother, did you notice? Whether it’s the wooden bed at home, the flowers in the garden, or the poison in Mother’s body, these are all things that only people who are very familiar with us can do.” He had always known that if he guessed Dr. Xu, no one would believe him, so he had not said anything for so many years.

Zhuang Xuan tried his best to calm down. “I understand. I’ll get someone to investigate. If it’s her, she’ll definitely reveal some flaws.” After so many years, even if there were any clues, they would probably be cleared by that person. However, as the eldest brother in the family, he had to stay calm. If he panicked, everything would go down the drain.

Zhuang Qing nodded. “Brother, you have to investigate her carefully. I have a feeling that she’s really not a good person.”

Yu Su bade farewell.

Zhuang Xuan sent her to the door. “Master Yu, I’ll have to trouble you this time. I’ll transfer the money to your account. Let’s add each other’s contact details.”

“Alright.” Yu Su took out her phone. “We’ll update each other if there’s anything new.”

After the driver sent Yu Su away, Zhuang Xuan remained where he was for a long time. He had suffered too many blows today and was a little confused. All these years, his mother had been drugged right under their noses. They were indeed too incompetent!

Zhuang Xuan clenched his fists in hatred and gritted his teeth as he walked to the study. “Get the butler to come over.”

“Okay!” the servant behind him replied.

Zhuang Yang returned to the Zhuang residence and went upstairs to change.

In the room on the third floor, Xu Jin was taking Xu Qian’s blood pressure. Xu Qian had just woken up and yawned. Xu Qian looked at Xu Jin and said uneasily, “Xu Jin, you were the one who took my daughter, Zhuang Zhu, away. You came that afternoon.” She stood up and looked at Xu Jin angrily.
