Chapter <b>241 </b>
Mnie turned and stared intently at Nora<b>, </b>making her feel extremely uneasy..
After some time<b>, </b>he smiled. “Do you know anything about medicine? Or is there <b>someone </b>in our family who has exceptional medical skills?
Marvin frowned. “We’re discussing the Redushil. What does understanding medicine have to do with it?”
“Marvin, if you haven’t contributed to the family’s affairs, perhaps <b>you </b>shouldn’t Interrupt,” Mnie said faintly, her voice devoid of warmth.
“You…” Marvin was infuriated but found himself unable to retort.
Ignoring him, Mnie turned her gaze back to Nora. “The reason why so many people covet Redushil is that it can be used as a key ingredient in treating various rare and difficult diseases. Whether it’s the prominent families in Bridgeport or the Hidden Families, they all have ill elders.
“They also have family members who are outstanding medical practitioners. <b>They </b><b>want </b>the Redushil to treat illnesses. Does <b>anyone </b><b>in </b><b>our </b>family have
such a condition?”
“Well, Dad is afflicted by the Bloodbane <b>poison</b>.” Nora brought up Arthur’s <b>condition</b>.
“Dad’s condition has already been cured. You didn’t know?” Mnie’s smile widened.
“Oh, I forgot. You’ve always been too busy to care about <b>family </b>matters. You’re more invested in the Albotts‘ affairs. I remember Mr. Albott Senior hast been suffering from a stroke for many years<b>, </b>right?
“Recently, I heard that a renowned doctor imed that they could <b>develop </b>a cure for his stroke with Redushil.”
Nora’s face fell. She was surprised that Mnie knew about it.
Mnie usually stayed out of family matters, but she had thoroughly investigated everything this time.
Nora frowned. “Yes, the Albotts and the Lauriers have been close allies. If we could give the Redushil to the Albotts, wouldn’t it strengthen our <b>rtionship</b>?
“Moreover, <b>that </b>doctor said <b>that </b>with the Redushil, they could certainly develop a cure for stroke. Mnie, I admit I was a bit rushed earlier. I wasn’t too kind to Lily, but…”
Nora’s expression turned bitter. “You know, even though I’m a daughter of the Lauriers, the Albotts have always looked down on me. Over the years, I’ve lived worse than a maid. Please, for my sake, let me have the Redushil. If it can cure Mr. Albott Senior’s illness, I’ll be eternally grateful.”
Hearing that, Lily looked up andughed coldly. “What a fool.” This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
The Redushil was considered a priceless treasure because nobody could cultivate it due to severe environmental pollution and poor climate conditions. Once the previously preserved Redushil was used up, the herb was <b>as </b>good as extinct. The Albotts in Aeston once owned one but eventually sold it to
someone else.
While the Albotts in Aeston couldn’t quitepare to the Alborts in Bridgeport, they were still a force to be reckoned with. The Hidden Families would <b>naturally </b>avoid targeting them.
The Weisses had one Redushil. Apart from that, no others had surfaced. So, the only known Redushil was the one the Weisses possessed.
People naturally assumed that Redushil was incredibly valuable. In reality, it was not particrly useful on its own. It might have some benefits for calming the mind and improving blood cirction. Skilled doctors could use it as a medicinal ingredient, but its main benefit was just detoxification. Lily needed the Redushil because the Mindshroud poison she was dealing with wasn’t an ordinary poison. It was a type of embarant.
These embarants would remain dormant for years if nted in the human body. To drive them out, one would need herbs with strong properties to stir them into activity. Once they became active, Lily could extract them from the body.
Redushil, as it stood, was the best <b>catalyst </b>she could think of for this purpose.
These ignorant Hidden Families were fighting to the death over a herb that wasn’t <b>even </b>that useful.
<b>“</b><b>You</b>! Already in a bad mood due to Loid and Mnie pressuring <b>her</b><b>, </b>Nora was further agitated by Lily’s mocking. She was about tosh out but swallowed her words upon meeting Loid’s gaze.
“Nora, there <b>are </b>some things I really shouldn’t be saying, but now, I have no choice.” Mnie looked at her expressionlessly.
“You’ve been married into the Albotts for years and taken plenty from our family to support them. I’m sure it amounts to at least billions of dors.
“You’ve also taken a share of the Lauriers profits each year. I’ve turned a blind eye to it in the past, but now, I think you should visit less often. Don’t worry. Even though you’re married off, I won’t take backy your shares.”
