Beast World: The villain mermaid cub refuses to become a good person

Chapter 258 Wu Jie
Lady Hero, Wu Jie, walked over at some point. She looked at the medicine in Lloyd Kassi's hand with an icy expression and reached out to knock the medicine box over from his hand!
Several white pills rolled on the ground, scattered in different places. One of them rolled right next to Yu Manman's feet...

"She's perfectly healthy and energetic, why would she need medication?" Wu Jie glanced at Wu Yingyue and sneered, "Using it on her is a waste! She's been taking it for so many years, why would she need more? Be careful, too much of a good thing can backfire!"

Wu Yingyue was somewhat at a loss.

“Madam…” Lloyd Cassie frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, “This is what the master ordered.”

"He gave the order? Even if Wu Yingyue is a patient, is he a doctor?" Wu Jie wasn't afraid of him. "Who knows what kind of weird medicine she's been taking for so many years? Aren't you afraid of killing her!"

Wu Jie's tone carried a hint of resentment that she herself was unaware of.

Lloyd Cassie's attention was focused on the pills scattered on the ground, and he didn't notice anything amiss. Even if he had, he wouldn't have found it strange.

The first wife already harbored resentment towards her husband.

She would always have to retort to whatever ideas the man had.

Lloyd Cassie reached out and bent down to pick up the pills from the ground.

"Am I wrong?" Wu Jie stretched out his foot and stomped on a pill. "If this medicine were effective, why didn't that sickly Zhou family man use it? Isn't he in poor health too? Why hasn't his health improved?"

Lloyd Kashi paused, then looked at Wu Jie with a deep gaze.

[Did the First Madam suspect something? Was spilling the medicine intentional? It shouldn't be like that, right? She dislikes Wu Yingyue so much, what reason would she have to stop her?]

Yu Manman's eyes flickered slightly.

Is there something wrong with the medication Wu Yingyue is taking?

Yu Manman looked at Wu Jie's grinding feet, her lips slightly pursed.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Wu Yingyue is an outsider, while Zhou Yanfeng is a member of the Zhou family. Why doesn't he eat it, but Wu Yingyue has to eat it!" Wu Jie sneered, saying sarcastically, "Maybe it's just that old woman from the Zhou family who wants to use Wu Yingyue as a guinea pig for experiments."

The coldness in Lloyd Kashi's eyes vanished, and he suddenly realized something.

[The First Madam has always disliked the Zhou family's old lady. If it weren't for her interference, the First Madam and Zhou Na would have ended up together. So, is it because she's the old lady that the First Madam doesn't want Wu Yingyue to take her medicine? Could it also be because Wu Yingyue was raised by the Zhou family, making her dislike Wu Yingyue even more?]

“Madam, please rest assured, the Zhou family values ​​Miss Yingyue very much,” Lloyd Kasi said slowly. “Young Master Zhou Yanfeng also took this medicine, but his constitution is not quite suitable for it. The Zhou family is still developing a new medicine that is suitable for him.”

[Oh, so Zhou Yanfeng took it too. Could it be that his health was ruined by that medicine? I remember when Zhou Yanfeng was a child, he was as strong as a calf!]

"Ha, whatever you say!" Wu Jie stomped her foot again, glancing at Wu Yingyue. "You're not allowed to take the Zhou family's medicine! You really aren't afraid to take it!"

[You think your body is really that weak? It was me! I raised you from a sickly little brat into a lively, energetic child. If Domenico hadn't taken you away from me and sent you to the Zhou family, would you have suffered so much all these years? Domenico is selfish and heartless; he could even harm his own daughter!]

Wu Jie gave Wu Yingyue a deep look.

[When Domenico brought you back, I shouldn't have softened my heart and adopted you because my daughter died prematurely, and treated you like my own! Why did I have to meddle? Can I be a saint and save people from suffering? I can barely take care of myself!]

She silently lowered her eyes, which were filled with bitterness, strode forward, and plunged into the crowd, where she resumed her cheerful conversation.

Looking at Wu Jie, who was smiling gently under the lamplight across the street, Yu Manman inexplicably felt that there was an unspeakable sadness behind her.

So, Yingyue wasn't Aunt Wu Jie's daughter at all? She was adopted by Aunt Wu Jie?

Is Yingyue... Domenic's illegitimate daughter?

Yu Manman looked at Wu Yingyue, her mind a little confused. Moreover, Aunt Wu Jie didn't seem to dislike Yingyue as much as she appeared; she seemed to be someone who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

That's right. If Aunt Wu Jie really disliked Yingyue that much, why would she let Yingyue take her surname?

Aunt Wu Jie was so fierce to Yingyue perhaps because she had no other choice. She couldn't help Yingyue, and she couldn't bear to see Yingyue suffer.

She probably guessed that there was something wrong with the medicine Yingyue was taking, so she came over specifically to destroy those pills! She also told Yingyue not to take the medicine anymore.

So what exactly is this medicine?
A hint of doubt flashed in Yu Manman's eyes.

After Wu Jie left, Lloyd Kassi frowned as he looked at the crushed medicine.

He picked up the medicine that had rolled away not far away, feeling agitated.

These medicines are difficult to make; each pill requires a significant amount of time and special ingredients! And Wu Jie just wasted them like that…

“Uncle, there’s one more here.” Yu Manman picked up the pill from the ground and, instead of keeping it for herself, handed it back to Lloyd Kashi.

Since these pills are so important, Lloyd Cassie absolutely cannot allow them to be left out. There are only a few left, and if she hides them, she will definitely be suspected.

Rather than alerting Lloyd Cassie, it's better to hand it over to him proactively.

"Thank you." Lloyd Cassie chuckled, picked up all the medicines that had rolled onto the ground, and counted them to make sure nothing was missing.

Seeing the crushed medicine on the ground, he immediately called over a servant, "Clean this up!"

These medicines must absolutely not fall into the wrong hands!

He didn't even rush to leave; instead, he made sure everything on the ground was cleaned up before turning to leave...

Yu Manman looked at Lloyd Cassie and pondered: It seems there really is a big problem with this medicine!
Fortunately, when she picked up the pill, she had already secretly scraped off a layer with her fingernail and then quickly asked the system to help hide it!

Once she gets back, she must find out exactly what medicine Yingyue took!

And what about Zhou Yanfeng? How exactly did his health collapse?
The Zhou and Hiro families have many secrets...

Yu Manman shifted her gaze and noticed that Wu Yingyue was in a low mood.

"Manman, tell me... why doesn't Mommy like me?" Wu Yingyue's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Who said she doesn't like you? I think your mother cares about you a lot! It's just that she expresses it a little in the wrong way!"

Wu Yingyue looked at Yu Manman hopefully, "Really?"

"Yes! Of course!" Yu Manman nodded seriously. "Believe me, she actually cares about you! If she didn't care about you, why would she tell you not to take medicine indiscriminately?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Wu Yingyue's eyes lit up. "How do we try it?"

Yu Manman whispered a few words in her ear...
