Chapter 334 -333 Otherwise, the Consequences are Unimaginable

Luo Ning noticed during her recent visit to the Zu Family that all the previous servants had been replaced.

Mrs. Zu wasn’t seen either, presumably because something had happened.

Zu Xiao seemed to be in a foul mood, but he perked up upon seeing Luo Ning and her companion, forcibly putting on a smile to receive them.

The events he had uncovered just a couple of days earlier had fundamentally shaken his worldview and crossed his personal boundaries, so he really couldn’t bring himself to feel happy.

Luo Ning and her companion expressed understanding towards him—it was natural for anyone in such a situation to feel upset.

Zu Xiao pointed to a pile of boxes on the table and said, “Master Luo, these are the medicinal herbs I have collected. Please take a look and see if they are correct.”

Luo Ning nodded, “Okay!”

She picked up a box and opened it; inside were various herbs with relatively advanced ages.

After inspecting them, she singled out one of the boxes.

“This herb is problematic; it’s not the Yellow Ginseng I want. It looks very similar but has the opposite effect and is also toxic.”

She bluntly stated, “Using this for alchemy, instead of healing your brother, would worsen his physical condition and put his life in grave danger.”

By doing so, they could also shift the blame onto her, since she was the one who would be making the pills. That woman truly had wishful thinking.

But didn’t she realize that since Luo Ning was skilled enough to perform alchemy, she could certainly differentiate the real from the fake?

Of course, the counterfeit herb looked very similar to the real thing; most Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners would likely have trouble identifying it as a fake.

Zu Xiao was stunned, clearly not expecting the herb to be problematic.

His face darkened, “Master Luo, I apologize for the trouble; could you please wait a moment?”

Then he picked up the Yellow Ginseng, walked aside, and video called the supplier.

Soon, the contact relayed that it wasn’t the Yellow Ginseng supplied to Zu Xiao and suggested that it had been swapped in Zu Xiao’s possession.

The person on the call had been a trusted friend of Zu Xiao for over a decade, so Zu Xiao didn’t suspect or blame him; instead, he even apologized.

He then excused himself from Luo Ning and the other guest and went upstairs to turn on his computer to check his home’s recent surveillance footage.

Zu Xiao was well-liked within his circles, but as a wealthy magnate, he was also a prime target.

Furthermore, since he had reclaimed the family estate from those who had once seized their assets, he had installed surveillance in every room except the bedrooms for his family’s safety.

He quickly discovered that yesterday, before his wife left for her maternal home, she had surreptitiously entered the storeroom where the herbs were kept, holding something.

When she came out, her face was fraught with guilt and panic; upon realizing no one was around, she finally calmed down and then left immediately.

Had Luo Ning not spotted the problem with the herbs, he would never have suspected his wife of such deceitful actions.

After reviewing the surveillance footage, he came downstairs.

Seeing Luo Ning, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

With an apologetic expression, he said, “Master Luo, my friend will soon send over a real century-old Yellow Ginseng. Please, could you wait a bit longer?”

Luo Ning smiled, “No problem.”

Seeing how Luo Ning wasn’t curious about the authenticity of the Yellow Ginseng, Zu Xiao had a hunch.

He then couldn’t resist asking, “Master Luo, did you realize that this Yellow Ginseng had been switched?”

Luo Ning nodded, “It’s hard to guard against a thief within one’s own walls; it’s normal that President Zu didn’t notice.”

Who could have anticipated that the woman would be so ruthless, orchestrating such mischief just before leaving?

Upon hearing her response, Zu Xiao knew she had indeed noticed and became even more convinced of her capabilities. It was incredibly mystical and impressive.

He had only just found out through surveillance, while she had discerned it even earlier.

Curious, he asked again, “Does Master Luo know what else my wife might have done?”

“Did you warn me before because you saw something on my wife’s face?” he asked.

He had found it strange before, wondering why Luo Ning would ask him to investigate. Now, he felt she must have noticed something and therefore wanted to warn him not to be deceived.

Indeed, the revelations he uncovered were almost unbelievable, yet they also brought him relief.

It was good that he had discovered these things now; otherwise, maintaining this would only cause trouble later. First, his brother, and then would the Hui Family target him next?

Luo Ning didn’t deny it, “I noticed two things.”

“First, your wife harbors ill will towards your brother and has conspired with her family to harm him. Thus, I suspect that the Feng Shui Master is involved with them.”

“Second, your wife was fated to be childless, and her physique prevents her from bearing children. Yet you have a son, which is problematic.”

She then said, “You must have found out about these things as well.”

Zu Xiao was utterly shocked, clearly not expecting Luo Ning to have discerned all of this.

Her ability in Feng Shui Xuan Shu was even more profound and mysterious than those masters from renowned Feng Shui families.

Alongside his astonishment was a sense of relief and excitement—this meant there was indeed hope for his brother’s recovery.

“Indeed, the Feng Shui Master was introduced by my wife’s family, and secretly, it was my sworn enemies, the Ancestor Family, who encouraged this.”

The Hui Family had colluded with his enemies to plot against his brother, something he could not accept or tolerate.

“My current ‘son’ is actually my sister-in-law’s child. That year, she faked a pregnancy, and when I was away on a business trip, she purposely went to her family’s home and then claimed she had fallen and prematurely given birth.”

“By the time I returned, the child was already born. Seeing the child bore some resemblance to my wife, I didn’t suspect anything.”

Who would think that a wife and her family could commit such audacious acts?

His wife had always favored her family, but since he was not short of money, he didn’t mind.

Little did he know their greed would grow larger, concocting a plan to switch the children once they knew his wife was barren.

Eventually, their plan was to remove his brother, after which the family estate would naturally be inherited by this current ‘son.’

Once the son grew up, the Hui Family would then recognize him, torment him, and potentially claim the family properties for themselves—what a clever scheme.

Without Master Luo’s warning, he would indeed have been unlikely to suspect these motives and investigate.

And his wife and her family might have succeeded.

He truly had not been wary of his wife; after all, past experiences made him treasure and value his family greatly.

Who would have thought that his trust would lead to such betrayal? It was utterly disheartening.

And they dared to repeatedly challenge his limits, not just with past incidents, but now with switching medications as well.

Did they really think he was so easily manipulated and wouldn’t retaliate?

After hearing his words, Luo Ning could only offer consolation, “President Zu values his family and is unguarded, so it is understandable that he was deceived.”

Zu Xiao sighed, “Although that’s true, looking back, it feels quite pathetic.”

He considered himself very responsible toward his family. Although he wasn’t deeply in love with his wife, he had treated her with enough respect and care.

Even her petty domestic tendencies and support for her family were tolerated just because she was his life partner.

Who would have guessed that in the end, he would be the subject of such a colossal joke?

Zu Xiao stood up and bowed to Luo Ning, “No matter what, I want to thank Master Luo again for the warning. Otherwise, I’d still be in the dark.”

This time, if it hadn’t been for hearing about Yi Lingfeng’s situation and personally inviting Luo Ning to treat his brother…

He dared not think about what would happen if his wife colluded with another Feng Shui Master to harm his brother.

Now, he was incredibly grateful for his wise previous actions and for placing ample trust in Luo Ning instead of being biased towards Luo Yuefeng and the Luo Family.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
