The next day, Chen Mei'e learned that the governess she had specially hired had gone crazy the previous night.

She hurriedly washed up and went to the front hall, only to find that not only Lu Zhengping was there, but also that disaster star.

Yan Wanwan didn't even bother to glance at her. She smiled at Lu Wanru, showed the bracelet on her wrist and said, "I received the gift Miss Lu gave you yesterday. Thank you!"

Lu Wanru curled her lips shyly, "As long as my sister likes it."

Yan Wanwan immediately took out the hairpin she had prepared long ago and said with a distressed look, "Look, I just came from the countryside and don't know what to buy. This is a gift from Madam Lu. I'll give it to Miss Lu as a token of my appreciation!"

"This..." Lu Wanru looked at the old-fashioned hairpin with disdain and didn't want to take it at all.

Yan Wanwan wiped her eyes aggrievedly, "Miss Lu, you wouldn't mind that this is Madam Lu's thing, right?"

Lu Wanru waved her hands repeatedly, "Of course not, everything in mother's hands is good stuff, but this hairpin was given to my sister by mother, how can I take away someone's love?"

Yan Wanwan said seriously: "I don't love it!"

Lu Wanru: “…”

Chen Mei'e: "..."

Yan Wanwan said with obvious disdain on her face, "So you should keep this hairpin! It won't fetch much money if you keep it with me. It's a worthless thing."

The air froze instantly, and Chen Mei'e was furious and helpless in her heart. Can you really not see me?

Lu Wanru lowered her eyebrows and glanced at her furious mother, her stern father, and her angry elder brother. She raised her head and smiled softly at Yan Wanwan, then took the hairpin and said in thanks, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely cherish it and use it."

After saying this, he put on the hairpin on the spot, giving Chen Mei'e enough face, which aroused the heartache and guilt of the three people present.

Lu Zhengping was indeed very satisfied with Lu Wanru's tact. Now that there was no noise, his depressed mood after a night of silence finally eased a little. He said in a hoarse voice, "Let's eat!"

They didn't talk while eating or sleeping. They sat together at a table and had a peaceful meal.

But how could things go so smoothly? Lu Wanru stood up with a groan just when she was halfway through the meal, scratching her arms and face constantly, and almost knocked over the dishes.

"Wanru, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large red rash appeared on her face. She scratched it and cried, "Mom, I'm so itchy."

Yan Wanwan stood up quickly and exclaimed to her, "Could this be smallpox?"

As she spoke, she quickly retreated out the door, her voice barely concealing her gloating as she said, "Smallpox is contagious. I'll leave first."

After saying that, she actually ran away without trying to avoid him. Her movements were so smooth and fluid that anyone who saw her wanted to run away with her.

Lu Zhengping was the first to move. His face turned pale and he said without hesitation, "I still have some official business to attend to. Go get a doctor to take a good look at Wanru."

Seeing that even her father had abandoned her, Lu Wanru burst into tears.

Chen Mei'e's hand, which wanted to comfort her, stopped mid-air. She didn't dare to touch it, and could only comfort her verbally, "Wanru, don't be afraid. Mom will call a doctor for you right away."

She staggered out, and in the blink of an eye, only her eldest brother Lu Shuyang was left in the room.

Lu Shuyang was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but he didn't know what to say except to comfort her. "Wanru, don't be afraid. Maybe she just ate something she shouldn't have. She'll be fine soon."

Lu Wanru suddenly cried even louder. She threw herself into Lu Shuyang's arms, but was pushed away before she touched the corner of his clothes. She stood there in a daze, forgetting even to shed tears.

Lu Shuyang pursed his lips awkwardly and said to himself, "I'll find you some ointment. It won't leave scars."

Lu Wanru used her sleeves to cover her cheeks, and also to hide her gloomy and resentful eyes.

Since you are so ruthless, what else does she have to worry about?

Not long after, the doctor came in with a medicine box. After examining Lu Wanru, he said, "This is not smallpox, it's poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Chen Mei'e was horrified and quickly pulled the doctor to the table. "Doctor, please take a look at these dishes. My daughter got a rash from eating these."

The doctor immediately checked the food they had eaten and said with absolute certainty, "There is no poison in it."

He looked at Lu Wanru and continued, "Miss Lu, have you eaten or touched anything this morning?"

Lu Wanru shook her head and said, "I only had breakfast."

She paused and suddenly took off the hairpin from her head, "And the hairpin my sister gave me."

The doctor took it and looked at it, and was shocked: "The poison is here. Miss Lu touched it and carried it with her. No wonder she was poisoned."

Lu Wanru said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is something my sister gave me specially, how could it be poisonous? I..."

Before she could finish her words, she collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

Chen Mei'e screamed and rushed over. When she touched her head, she almost burned her hand from the scorching temperature.

"Why are you so hot? Doctor, come and take a look."

The doctor felt the patient's pulse, but frowned and muttered to himself, "How could this happen? That flower poison only causes a rash, so why is there a high fever?"

Seeing Lu Wanru's face getting redder and redder, Chen Mei'e screamed like crazy, "Hurry up and save her! Save my daughter!"

Lu Shuyang came over with a bottle of ointment. The man next to him quickly rushed forward to support Chen Mei'e and asked, "Mom, what happened to Wanru?"

When Chen Mei'e saw the person coming, she burst into tears and said, "Yang Bu, that evil star poisoned Wanru, and now she is... Wuwu, Wanru, please don't be in any trouble!"

Lu Yangbu is Yan Wanwan's biological second brother. He has been following his master to gain experience outside. He rushed back after knowing that his parents had found his biological sister. Who would have thought that he would see this scene.

"Yan Wanwan, how dare you!" Lu Yangbu roared in anger and rushed out to settle the score with Yan Wanwan.

Lu Shuyang held him tightly from behind, "Second brother, you..."

"Brother, look at Wanru, do you still want to help that disaster star?"

Lu Shuyang's expression hardened, "I'll go with you."

A smile finally appeared on Lu Yangbu's face. "That's right, let's go."

The two of them went to find Yan Wanwan with anger. Chen Mei'e angrily called the servants, "Follow the two young masters immediately and tie up that evil star for me."

After leaving the Shangshu Mansion, Yan Wanwan went straight out of the city to the suburbs, where there were several farms, which was also her purpose this time.

She was accompanied by a man from the pawnshop. "Miss, these manors are close to the city. You can come here to relax on weekdays. It's very good."

"It's too small, is there a bigger one?"

"Big? Yes, of course, but it's a bit remote."

"Go and see."

When Lu Shuyang and the other two tracked down Yan Wanwan outside the city, there was no news of her anymore.

Lu Yangbu kicked the gravel under his feet and said, "Damn it, she got away."

"The people at the dental office said she went to see Zhuangzi and will definitely come back."

"If she dares to poison me, I will make her kowtow to Wanru and admit her mistake."
