Professor Ke said, âIs someone trying to harm Tong Hua?â
Shen Qianshuâs face became sullen, and she grabbed Tong Huaâs arm subconsciously.
Tong Hua said, âNo. If they wanted to harm me, Iâd have died. I have gone to the Gu Manor several times, even alone. Why didnât they take action then? Why did they have to choose a time when Mommy and Daddy are there? If I am the murderer, I wouldnât be this silly.â
Ye Ling nodded.
Professor Ke said, âThen this should be an accident. I donât know the specific reason for it. The two of you have to find that out. After all, I wasnât at the actual scene.â
His words made them fall into silence.
Professor Ke turned off the video.
The family of three was silent.
For a long time.
Ye Ling was expressionless. He concluded with a serious look. âWe shall not return to the Gu Manor again in the future.â
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Tong Hua was speechless.
Isnât that what you were waiting for the whole damn time?
Shen Qianshu said, âMaster, this matter can be discussed again. What matters now is that we need to find out why Tong Hua had a relapse. If he was poisoned, we ate everything he did. It canât be that the poison only worked on Tong Huaâs body and the rest of us are fine.â
âBut if it wasnât poison, how do you explain it?â
âTong Hua, did something unusual happen to you this time?â
âNo.â Tong Hua thought for a moment. This was just like every other time he had a relapse. âOh, yeah. Uncle Ah Xi brought me out to pick a water lily. He had wanted to give me a bud, but I wanted a pretty one, so I picked a really pretty flower that bloomed. I donât think thatâs anything really special. Whenever I visit the Gu Manor, I would play by the water lily pond. Uncle has gifted me one water lily before as well. I doubt the water lily is poisonous?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Qianshu said, âThat doesnât count. Gu Xie gave you a water lily before. Could this really be an accident?â
They had many unanswered doubts.
Ye Ling was silent. He tapped his fingers on the chair, and Tong Hua looked at him. âDaddy, do you have other thoughts?â
âIâm thinking.â
Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua made eye contact. This man just looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Thinking?
Who are you kidding?
Indeed, when it isnât about his little princess, he doesnât care.
Heartless!
Zhong Ran knocked at the door of the study room. âYoung Master, Burger has the flu and needs to be sent to the vet. Do you want to join me?â
âYes, yes, yes!â Tong Hua jumped up and out.
Burger was snuggling in Zhong Ranâs arms pitifully. He was tearing a little, and his eyes were red. His nose was very warm, and Zhong Ran had just used a thermometer to measure his temperature. He was having a high fever.
âHold on, Iâm going to get a sweater.â
Tong Hua entered the room and took a sweater.
The water lily was placed by the window in the room. The windows were opened wide, and the smell was not strong. Tong Hua took a casual look at it and ran downstairs. Shen Qianshu said, âZhong Ran, be careful when you drive.â
âOkay, Miss Shen.â
Zhong Ran, Ah Da, and Tong Hua brought Burger to a vet nearby.
âThe temperature has been changing drastically lately. Burger is too weak, and he falls ill too easily. We need to get some over-the-counter pills for him.â
Ye Ling said slowly, âBurger is the real little princess, huh?â
So many people had to take it to the vet. What a big deal.
Shen Qianshu could not hold in her laughter. She reached out her arms and hugged him by the waist. Then, she looked up and smiled at him. âWho said so? Arenât you the little princess in our home?â
After she said that, she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
Ye Ling humphed expressionlessly. He was not done. He kissed her tightly.
