Professor Ke said, “Is someone trying to harm Tong Hua?”
Shen Qianshu’s face became sullen, and she grabbed Tong Hua’s arm subconsciously.
Tong Hua said, “No. If they wanted to harm me, I’d have died. I have gone to the Gu Manor several times, even alone. Why didn’t they take action then? Why did they have to choose a time when Mommy and Daddy are there? If I am the murderer, I wouldn’t be this silly.”
Ye Ling nodded.
Professor Ke said, “Then this should be an accident. I don’t know the specific reason for it. The two of you have to find that out. After all, I wasn’t at the actual scene.”
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. “We shall not return to the Gu Manor again in the future.”
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Tong Hua was speechless.
Isn’t that what you were waiting for the whole damn time?
Shen Qianshu said, “Master, 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 can’t be that the poison only worked on Tong Hua’s body and the rest of us are fine.”
“But if it wasn’t poison, how do you explain it?”
“Tong Hua, did something unusual happen to you this time?”
“No.” Tong Hua thought for a moment. This was just like every other time he had a relapse. “Oh, 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 don’t think that’s 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?”
Shen Qianshu said, “That doesn’t count. Gu Xie gave you a water lily before. Could this really be an accident?”
They had many unanswered doubts.
Ye Ling was silent. He tapped his fingers on the chair, and Tong Hua looked at him. “Daddy, do you have other thoughts?”
“I’m thinking.”
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 isn’t about his little princess, he doesn’t care.
Heartless!
Zhong Ran knocked at the door of the study room. “Young Master, Burger has the flu and needs to be sent to the vet. Do you want to join me?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Tong Hua jumped up and out.
Burger was snuggling in Zhong Ran’s 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.
“Hold on, I’m going to get a sweater.”
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, “Zhong Ran, be careful when you drive.”
“Okay, Miss Shen.”
Zhong Ran, Ah Da, and Tong Hua brought Burger to a vet nearby.
“The 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.”
Ye Ling said slowly, “Burger is the real little princess, huh?”
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. “Who said so? Aren’t you the little princess in our home?”
After she said that, she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
Ye Ling humphed expressionlessly. He was not done. He kissed her tightly.
