Chapter 353 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis's Marquisate VS The Frail and Early-Dying Eldest Son of the Marquis's Family (28)
Shen Huaizhi pulled Su Jinyue into the bedroom and then suddenly hugged her.
Shen Huaizhi rubbed against Su Jinyue like a large cat, as if he were pleading with her: "My wife, I really have nothing now, and I can only rely on you to support me."
Unaware of what was going on, Su Jinyue was pulled into the bedroom by Shen Huaizhi. Upon hearing Shen Huaizhi's coquettish words, she instantly laughed.
As for raising Shen Huaizhi, she had done it before in her previous world, so she wasn't afraid at all.
Su Jinyue hugged Shen Huaizhi's waist and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have plenty of money, I can support you!"
Hearing Su Jinyue's bold words, Shen Huaizhi chuckled. How wonderful, at least there's still one person who truly cares for him...
Now that he had separated from the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, Shen Huaizhi no longer hesitated.
Su Jinyue's dowry has already started to be shipped out, and Shen Huaizhi's own things also need to be packed up.
Shen Huaizhi planned to take his everyday belongings with him, since they were all used and the Marquis's mansion didn't care for them anyway.
Shen Huaizhi's largest collection of books is found in his study. The entire room is filled with books that he has accumulated over the years, and he plans to take them all with him.
There weren't many servants in the small courtyard, so Shen Huaizhi gathered them all together and inquired about their future.
Su Jinyue took everything she brought with her. As for Shen Huaizhi, only Ping An, Xi Yan, and Bao Shu were willing to follow him. The others had some connection with the Hou family and were unwilling to leave.
Those who didn't want to leave, Shen Huaizhi didn't force them. He gave them a reward, and everyone parted amicably.
On the day he finally left, Shen Huaizhi did not go to the Marquis's residence to say goodbye to Lord Shen. He simply wrote a note and had Xi Yan deliver it to the Marquis's residence.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi left quietly, without disturbing anyone.
The commotion caused by the Lady of the Marquis was contained within the Marquis's residence by Lord Shen and was not heard from outside.
Besides, Shen Huaizhi was just a son of a commoner in a marquis's household, and he usually didn't attract any attention or anyone would pay special attention to him.
Sitting in the departing carriage, Shen Huaizhi kept lifting the curtain to look out. After all, he had lived here for so many years, and now that he was leaving, he felt a little melancholy.
Once they were out of the alley, Shen Huaizhi lowered the carriage curtain, and a hand reached out from the side and grasped his.
Shen Huaizhi turned his head and saw Su Jinyue. He smiled at her and then pulled her into his arms.
Although there were no words or words of comfort, the way the two of them interacted was enough to soothe Shen Huaizhi's feelings of melancholy and regret.
Su Jinyue noticed that since Shen Huaizhi learned about her background, their relationship had become closer and more natural.
It was as if Shen Huaizhi had shed the shackles in his heart and begun to open his heart to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue smiled, feeling very satisfied with Shen Huaizhi's closeness to her. They were the most intimate lovers, and Shen Huaizhi could rely on her.
Soon, the two men's carriage left the city and arrived at the hot spring resort.
The main courtyard here has been prepared long ago. Although it is not as luxurious as the small courtyard of the Marquis's mansion, this place is much larger.
Chuncao, Chunyu, and Granny Lin were in charge of tidying up the house. They had to organize all the daily necessities one by one, as they were going to be staying here for a while, and they couldn't afford to live in an uncomfortable house.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi toured the manor under the guidance of the head of the Lin family.
The main courtyard is a two-section courtyard with twenty or thirty rooms, enough for Su Jinyue and the others to live in.
Behind the main courtyard was where the head of the estate and the servants lived, and the shop assistants that Ping An had brought in to prepare for the teahouse and bookstore were also trained here.
There is a hot spring on the estate. There is a hot spring source not far from the main courtyard. A courtyard and an indoor hot spring pool were specially built near the hot spring source for bathing.
Su Jinyue thought this was a good idea; once Shen Huaizhi recovered, they could soak in the hot springs together.
The estate covers a considerable area, but while it has hot springs and mountains, only a few hundred acres of arable land are currently planted with wheat and rice.
Su Jinyue thought that since there were hot springs here, they could use the hot springs to grow some off-season vegetables in winter, as leafy greens are very popular in the capital.
However, it's only spring now, and winter is still a long way off, so we can plan ahead and not rush into anything.
We can also plant some fruit trees on the mountain. When the fruit ripens, we can eat it ourselves and sell it for money.
Su Jinyue has quite a few fruit trees in her space. She will find an opportunity to take some saplings out. The fruit trees in her space are different from those outside and can be considered a major feature of the estate.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi took a tour. Su Jinyue had already planned out the entire estate and was just waiting to put it into practice.
Having been out for so long, Chuncao and the others should have finished packing up. Su Jinyue guessed that Shen Huaizhi was also a bit tired, so she decided to go back to rest.
We still need to detoxify Shen Huaizhi tonight, so we can't delay.
These days, Su Jinyue has been using the essence of wood and spiritual spring water to treat Shen Huaizhi's body, and his body is now able to withstand the detoxification.
The detoxification should be done sooner rather than later. Shen Huaizhi's background has always been a hidden danger. Su Jinyue is now eager to detoxify Shen Huaizhi and improve his health.
Su Jinyue had already instructed the head of the estate to prepare the antidote and other necessary items.
As for the two attendants beside Shen Huaizhi, whose identities were still unknown, Su Jinyue had already discussed with Shen Huaizhi that they should not be allowed to approach the main courtyard, but should only serve in the outer courtyard.
Moreover, Su Jinyue had already been monitoring Xi Yan and Bao Shu 24 hours a day using a small bee monitoring device.
Now that Shen Huaizhi has left the Marquis's residence, if Xiyan and Baoshu really have other masters behind them, it's time to inform their masters.
Su Jinyue believed that as long as they made a move, she could find out their secrets and even discover who their master was and what their purpose was in dealing with Shen Huaizhi!
After having a special dinner prepared by the head of the manor, Su Jinyue took Shen Huaizhi to the bathroom.
The bath tubs had already been prepared, and servants were pouring buckets of hot water into them.
Shen Huai had been poisoned for too long, and Su Jinyue was not confident that she could completely remove the poison from his body in one go.
The antidote pills were too potent, and Su Jinyue was afraid that Shen Huaizhi wouldn't be able to handle them. So, after much thought, Su Jinyue still felt that a combination of medicinal bath and acupuncture would be the best treatment.
Although she couldn't remove the poison from Shen Huaizhi's body all at once, Su Jinyue wasn't afraid of the trouble. If one time wasn't enough, she would try several more. She was confident that she could cure Shen Huaizhi and make him healthy again!
Hot water was poured in, and Chuncao brought over the medicine that Su Jinyue had instructed her to prepare. Su Jinyue told Chuncao to pour the medicine directly into the bathtub. The amount of medicine was quite large, and it turned the entire bathtub of clear water black.
