After the return of the real daughter, she has doubled

"You!" Norton Herbert seemed to have just gotten to know her for the first time after so many years. "You poisoned her just for your position? How vicious! I have raised you for so many years."

"Brother, you and I grew up together. I have worked hard for so many years to get this thing. Why can it be hers right away?" Lucy Herbert was very dissatisfied: "Why!"

"Oh." Norton Herbert said, "You want to know why? From the time I brought you back home, you only know how to ask for things. You mostly try to please me, all for the sake of your position in the manor."

"You have developed a spoiled personality. You are too utilitarian. It is not the appearance of Mary Congreve that makes me stop paying attention to you. It is your own utilitarianism that pushes me further away."

"Besides, have you forgotten? Lucy Herbert, when she showed up, something bad happened in the manor. My father and mother died one after another. I was only sixteen years old at that time, and the manor was about to be divided by outsiders. I had to take on the responsibility."

"It was very difficult for me to survive during that period. It was Mary Congreve who appeared by my side and accompanied me day by day, helping me through that difficult time. That is how we have the manor today."

"So the first thing I'm going to do after the manor is settled is to marry her."

"As for you," Norton Herbert said, "although you didn't leave the manor when the incident happened, you had nowhere to go, right? You stayed here just to squeeze out the last bit of usefulness from the manor and me."

"Everyone was working hard to maintain the estate at that time. What were you doing? The estate has supported you for so long, but you didn't do anything substantial."

"Lucy Herbert, how do you want me to be close to you?"

"I..." Lucy Herbert was speechless.

But it is indeed true.

"Brother, don't forget that Mary Congreve is still poisoned! Do you think those people you found can really cure her?"

Lucy Herbert had been in solitary confinement and had no idea of ​​the news outside. Moreover, Jiang Zhi and the others had only developed the antidote to the poison that Mary Congreve was poisoned with today, and no one could tip off Lucy Herbert.

Lucy Herbert naturally didn't know that the poison in Mary Congreve had been cured, and she thought she still had the capital to negotiate with Norton Herbert.

"That poison is not an ordinary poison. Only I can help you find the antidote. If you do anything to me, do you think Mary Congreve can survive?" Lucy Herbert is fearless now. She knows that Mary Congreve is very important to Norton Herbert, and he will not do anything to her. At least he has not found a way to cure Mary Congreve.

"Miss Lucy, you may not know this." Alfred Tobias, the old man, was really enjoying the fun and said to Lucy Herbert with a happy face, "The poison in Lady Mary Congreve's body has been cured."

"How is this possible!?" Lucy Herbert's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is it possible that someone could solve this?"

After all, the person who gave her the poison told her that no one outside could cure it. Even the president of the M Continent Medical Association couldn't cure it, so how come he could cure it now? Could it be that the president of the M Continent Medical Association brought a friend who claimed to have superb medical skills to cure the poison?

But I had clearly been poisoned again. Isn't it said that multiple poisonings will double the effect of the poison? How could it be possible to be cured so quickly?

"Isn't it just a poison developed by a hidden family? What's the big deal?" Alfred Tobias said, "Jiang has detoxified many poisons released by this family. What's this?"

The reclusive families must have at least a hundred years of family history before they chose to remain in seclusion. Many people in Continent M actually don’t know that there are such family forces.

If it weren't for the unfathomable power and deep foundation behind the hidden family, based on what this family has been doing, it would probably be wiped out by the forces of Continent M in no time.

Of course, part of the reason is that the forces on the M continent are not united. The divisions between you and me are very light, and there are still many hostile relationships. They will not unite all the forces to deal with the hidden families in M ​​continent, so those hidden families are still doing well until now.

However, not all secluded families would do such a heartless thing. Most of them just don’t want to get involved in worldly affairs and choose to live in seclusion. Most of them don’t care much about the outside world and don’t allow outsiders to enter.

Hearing that Alfred Tobias even knew the source of the poison, Lucy Herbert would wake up now, and they might really have cured Mary Congreve of the poison.

But could the Jiang the old man was talking about be Jiang Zhi? Just now, after he finished reading the poison, he also showed it to Jiang Zhi, so it is very possible.

The more Lucy Herbert thought about it, the more frustrated and frightened she became.

"How is it possible?" Lucy Herbert couldn't believe that she had been defeated like this: "You are the one who solved this poison? How is it possible?"

This time she was looking at Jiang Zhi, somewhat incredulously. She didn't believe that Jiang Zhi could detoxify the poison. Anyone could do it except Jiang Zhi.

"It's none of your business." Jiang Zhi and her didn't have a good relationship to begin with, so naturally he didn't want to respond to her question now.

"You!" No one had ever dared to do this to Lucy Herbert, except Jiang Zhi before.

However, things are different now.

"Me what?" Jiang Zhi looked at her but didn't gloat over her misfortune. Instead, he asked calmly, "What's your relationship with that hidden family?"

Jiang Zhi was more interested in this.

But Lucy Herbert obviously didn't want to tell her. After all, it was Jiang Zhi who asked the question. Why should she reply? She was not Jiang Zhi's dog.

Jiang Zhi didn't care when he saw that she didn't answer and didn't have any special emotions.

Anyway, what kind of relationship Lucy Herbert had with the hidden family was none of her business. She was just a little curious. Norton Herbert obviously didn't know about the hidden family, but Lucy Herbert, the adopted sister who had no real power in the manor, knew about it and even had a relationship with it.

But Jiang Zhi was just a little curious and didn't necessarily want an answer.

As for the hidden family, although they had done so many things and Jiang Zhi disliked them, they did not directly harm Jiang Zhi's own interests, so Jiang Zhi never took any action against them.

What's more, Jiang Zhi didn't know their cards, so he couldn't act rashly. Jiang Zhi didn't know them well enough so he wasn't sure how much preparation he needed to make to defeat them.
