Chapter 310 Something Is Wrong

The Lu family’s servants were very efficient in their work. Besides, as this was a suite that Lu Zheng had reserved, the room next door was emptied according to Mo Zhu’s instructions in just a few minutes.

When Mo Zhu heard the report from the servant, she endured her discomfort and went to the room next door to rest quietly on the bed.

Seeing that Huo Xuan was standing at the door, wanting to come in and take care of her, she waved her hand weakly and instructed, “Get someone to guard both Old Master Lu’s and the room I’m in. Don’t let anyone in before I wake up.”

After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something and added worriedly, “Also, don’t let anyone take the initiative to approach me. You can’t either!” After saying this, Mo Zhu closed her eyes tightly and fell asleep.

Seeing this, although Huo Xuan was very worried about Mo Zhu, he still obediently closed the door after recalling the girl’s instructions.

An hour passed quietly. Mo Zhu lay on the bed and quietly sat up after recovering some strength.

She took out a small bottle of pills from her pocket, poured two pills into her palm, brought them to her mouth, and quickly swallowed them. After quietly adjusting her breathing for a moment, the color of blood slowly returned to Mo Zhu’s face.

Another two hours passed. When Mo Zhu felt that her body was almost fully recovered, she stood up and moved her arms and legs simply. Then, she went to the door and gently opened it.

Seeing Mo Zhu open the door, Huo Xuan stood up from the sofa in the living room anxiously. He took two steps forward impatiently and asked, “Xiao Zhu, are you alright?” Mo Zhu held the man’s hand comfortingly and said softly, “It’s alright. I was careless and my internal energy was hurt. I’m almost fully recovered now.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu looked up at Lu Zheng, who had been standing behind Huo Xuan the entire time. She frowned slightly and changed her tone. “There’s a huge price to pay to cure this poison. Unless we use the entire Lu family’s assets to negotiate, I can’t cure it.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng rubbed his palms awkwardly and stammered, “Ms. Mo, can’t we make an exception? Didn’t you discuss it with the old master previously…”

Before the man could finish, he was interrupted by Mo Zhu’s cold voice. “Previously, it was because I didn’t see the patient and only roughly determined the severity of the illness. Now, I have already taken a simple look at Old Master Lu’s condition. If you don’t give me what I asked for, I won’t treat this illness.”

Seeing that Lu Zheng looked like he was in a difficult position, Mo Zhu took out her phone from her pocket impatiently and looked at the time. “You have at most five minutes to consider. I don’t have so much energy to waste here. I won’t be waiting.”

The sudden situation had indeed given Lu Zheng a fright. He could understand why Mo Zhu suddenly proposed to change the conditions. It must be because when she diagnosed the old master just now, she had realized that it was not easy to cure this illness.

It was not that he did not want to help Old Master Lu in this situation, but there were too many branch families in the Lu family. As a grandson, he could not agree to such a huge matter!

Although the Lu family was very glamorous in the eyes of everyone, there were actually endless internal conflicts in the family. Some of the uncles and aunts who held power looked very respectful and filial to Old Master Lu on the surface, but in fact, they didn’t want Old Master Lu to recover at all.

There were not many people in the Lu family who really wanted to cure Old Master Lu like him. If he agreed to Mo Zhu’s request, not to mention the possibility that Old Master Lu would not recover, even if the Old Master had woken up and understood what he had done today, the other elders in the family might not have let him off.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng was silent for a moment. He frowned and asked Mo Zhu, “Ms. Mo, in your opinion, what exactly is my old master’s illness?”

Mo Zhu looked up at Lu Zheng and emphasized seriously, “This is not an ordinary illness. It’s poison. Besides that, there’s more than one poison in the old man’s body. There’s even a new type of hybrid poison.” “New hybrid poison?” Huo Xuan was a little puzzled.
