Chapter 333 -332: It’s Time to Burst the Bubble

Zu Xiao had not suspected anything before, but now, after hearing Luo Ning’s words, he began to ponder deeply.

He felt increasingly that something was not right. When the Feng Shui Master came to see his younger brother, he spoke convincingly, clearly very familiar with this constitution.

At the time, he suggested this method, only mentioning that it couldn’t cure the root cause but could suppress the constitution and alleviate the pain during flare-ups.

But that person had never mentioned the harm and side effects that could arise from this method.

Otherwise, how could he possibly have treated his brother using this method?

“Looking at your brother’s constitution, although he is in full-blown condition, combined with some medical treatments from the hospital, he should be able to live past thirty years old.”

Luo Ning paused and then continued, “But with this method in use, your brother won’t live past twenty-five.”

“The longer the time, the more it will reduce his lifespan.”

“If this method continues to be used, according to the current state of Young Master Zu’s health, it’s essentially an unrestricted overdraw on his life, and he’d probably only be able to live until around twenty before his life expires.”

What she disliked most in her life was the intentional harming of others using Feng Shui Xuan Shu, and it was clear that the Feng Shui Master who had recommended the gender-balancing method to Zu Xiao’s brother hadn’t come with good intentions.

After Luo Ning finished speaking, Zu Xiao couldn’t help but frown deeply, “I will look into this carefully, thank you, Master Luo, for the reminder.”

He added, “Master Luo, I will gather the medicinal ingredients as soon as possible, and at that time I will need to trouble you to help refine the Pills.”

Luo Ning nodded, “No problem, I will be staying on Xiang Island for about another five days. If you can gather the ingredients within five days, I will help you refine the Pills before I go back.”

Zu Xiao forced a smile, “Good, I will do it as quickly as I can.”

Then Luo Ning and Lu Xun did not stay long and left after sitting for a while.

Zu Xiao had someone send the two of them back to the hotel.

Once Luo Ning and the others had left, his originally smiling face instantly darkened.

Zu Yu, who had been relying on his brother for many years, naturally understood the reason for his brother’s change of expression.

He tried to reassure, “Big brother, the Feng Shui Master who saw me previously, although introduced by sister-in-law’s family, may not necessarily be encouraged by them. You should check again to see if there is someone else behind this.”

He too had his suspicions about his sister-in-law’s family, but he hoped it was just overthinking on his part.

He didn’t want his own issues to impact his brother’s relationship with his sister-in-law, which is why he was advising.

Zu Xiao realized he had perhaps protected his brother too well, but perhaps that was for the best.

He nodded, “I will have someone thoroughly investigate it.”

Then he made two phone calls, instructing people to investigate his wife’s family and the Feng Shui Master from before.

He also began searching for the medicinal ingredients on the list as quickly as possible.

In his eyes, the most important thing right now was his brother’s health.

After returning to the hotel, Luo Ning and Lu Xun rested separately.

In the evening, Lu Xun took Luo Ning to a highly private Michelin-starred restaurant for dinner.

Lu Xun had properties and a villa on Xiang Island, and he would often come to stay for several days. This restaurant was also a favorite of his and his friends.

He had booked a private room in advance; when they arrived, the outside seats were already full, and there were people queuing at the door, indicating the business was booming.

After sitting down, Lu Xun let Luo Ning choose the dishes.

The two of them chatted while eating.

Lu Xun asked, “Is there a problem with Zu Xiao’s wife?”

He, as the minister of a special department and having spent time in the “Little World” of Mysticism, actually knew a bit about Divination and Feng Shui too, though not as proficient as Luo Ning.

He could tell that Mrs. Zu not only had a somewhat harsh physiognomy but also harbored concealed enmity toward Zu Yu, which she hid very well.

Luo Ning smiled and nodded, “That’s right, there’s something off about Mrs. Zu. The Feng Shui Master who suggested that kind of treatment method for Zu Yu was brought in by her and her maternal family.”

“There must be others behind the scenes too, I think with Zu Xiao’s capabilities, he will soon get to the bottom of it.”

Lu Xun furrowed his brows, “This woman is ruthless, it’s bad enough that Zu Yu has such a constitution, yet she still wants to harm him.”

“And it’s clear to see that Zu Xiao cares and values Zu Yu’s health more than his own career. Doesn’t she fear getting caught if she does such a thing?”

That woman looked somewhat petty, but she was not lacking in cunning.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible that, to this day, Zu Xiao still had no idea there was something wrong with that Feng Shui Master.

Luo Ning took a sip of soup and said meaningfully, “It’s precisely because Zu Xiao values Zu Yu so much that she feels resentful. She fears Zu Yu might one day claim a share of the Zu family’s assets, which is why she’d take such a risk.”

“Judging by Mrs. Zu’s physiognomy, she is fated to be childless; that is, she can’t have children herself.”

She added, “Right now she and Zu Xiao have a son, which I’m guessing is a switched-at-birth situation, most likely from her maternal family, and that’s why she dares to collaborate with them on such deeds.”

“Her maternal family must constantly brainwash and persuade her.”

Lu Xun was taken aback, “The son who is with Zu Xiao now isn’t his own?”

Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, I speculate that the child might be the son of Mrs. Zu’s sister-in-law or brother’s wife, and then she pretended to be pregnant, fooling Zu Xiao into thinking it was their child.”

“Zu Xiao wouldn’t suspect the woman beside him, naturally, so Mrs. Zu was able to get away with it.”

That woman colluded with an unethical Feng Shui Master to harm a kind and sunny young man – encountering this, Luo Ning couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

The cycle of heaven’s laws and karmic retribution, everything is predestined – meeting her means some things were due to be exposed.

She suggested that Zu Xiao investigate, confident that with his methods and capabilities, this might also get unearthed in the process.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun also understood Luo Ning’s intentions and agreed wholeheartedly, “Zu Xiao is quite upright; though he can also be ruthless, there’s nothing to say about how he treats his family. Mrs. Zu doesn’t realize how fortunate she is.”

Given Zu Xiao’s character, even if Mrs. Zu couldn’t bear children, it’s unlikely he’d adopt an illegitimate child.

The most probable scenario would be to adopt a child, or perhaps to have Zu Yu, once recovered, inherit the family’s assets.

Mrs. Zu and her maternal family were most likely worried about the latter, leading them to the deception of switch-and-bait.

“Indeed, many things are only appreciated once lost,” Luo Ning nodded.

After finishing their meal, the two of them went to a movie wearing masks together.

Instead of returning to the hotel, they stayed at Lu Xun’s seaside villa.

Their feelings were gradually warming up.

Lu Xun did not actively puncture that layer of their relationship, just waiting for things to naturally fall into place.

The next day, Lu Xun and Luo Ning went to Disney and the aquarium for fun.

On the third day, Lu Xun accompanied Luo Ning on a shopping spree at the mall.

On the fourth day, they went out to sea together to fish and surf, playing in a relaxed and joyful manner.

On the fifth day, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had no plans because Luo Ning had foreseen there would be something happening.

Sure enough, early in the morning, Zu Xiao called, saying all the medicinal materials on the list were ready and asked her to come by.

After Luo Ning agreed, Zu Xiao sent a car to pick them both up.
