When Su Xing stepped out of the bedroom, he saw Shi Shaowen, who had been drinking clear white liquor but now appeared flushed and rosy.
"Shao Wen, have you had too much to drink? It's still midday!" Su Xing sat down beside Shen Jingyu. He leaned in closer to sniff the air around Shen Jingyu: "You've been drinking too. Did you both just drink without eating?"
By the time Su Xing emerged, Shi Shaowen was already squinting with his hand on his forehead, dozing off against the sofa.
"Why aren't you resting? Where's that butler of yours?" Su Xing's voice grew softer as he noticed Shi Shaowen's slightly furrowed brow.
Shen Jingyu shifted slightly and leaned in to whisper in Su Xing's ear, "That Little Princess has played a trick on him, and he's quite riled up about it."
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, contemplating whether he should offer help. But he wasn't very familiar with Zhu Man yet.
Shen Jingyu seemed to read Su Xing's thoughts: "That little girl is quite cunning; there's no need for outsiders to overthink it."
"How are you feeling now? Still tired?" Shen Jingyu instinctively took Su Xing's hand and gently began to massage it.
This morning, he had noticed that the bruises on Su Xing's body had faded significantly. He no longer turned bruised at the slightest touch, which was undoubtedly a positive sign.
Su Xing smiled and shook his head. "I think I'll ask Zhu Man if I need any treatment during the day. If not, I want to go home and see my parents. I barely spoke to them yesterday; it's time I spent some time with them!"
Although Shen Jingyu didn't think that his father-in-law particularly needed his daughter-in-law's company, returning home was still essential.
Without hesitation, Shen Jingyu declared, "I'll go with you!"
Su Xing softly replied, "Help Shao Wen prepare a blanket so he can rest here."
Shen Jingyu nodded and went back to find a blanket, then helped Shao Wen lie comfortably on the sofa. After doing this, they both tiptoed out of the room.
When Su Xing found Zhu Man, the young girl was already awake and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Manman? Can I call you that? Did you sleep well last night?" Su Xing asked cheerfully, as if this was the greatest compliment for Zhu Man.
Even Qin Yi’s team nearby felt a sense of relief watching her. They had struggled to achieve what this young girl managed to do overnight in such a short time.
Truly a miraculous healer! Qin Yi thought he should step aside and let someone as capable as her take his place; he felt utterly humbled!
Zhu Man smiled back at him. "You can call me that! Because you might be the most complex case I've encountered."
"If I can treat you successfully in the future, it would add a significant merit to my medical journey."
Su Xing increasingly felt that this girl truly had a unique personality! In his eyes, she was quite charming! But how exactly did Shi Shaowen provoke him?
Zhu Man leaned over and checked Su Xing's pulse again, then nodded gently: "Not bad. We'll do another round of acupuncture tonight."
"I'll head home to see my parents first and come back later. If you need anything while I'm gone, feel free to contact them," he said.
Shao Wen wasn’t really the impatient type; perhaps it was because he had been a noble duke for too long, accustomed to a certain unassailable authority?
Zhu Man chuckled inwardly; the girl still had her pride and didn’t act too high and mighty! She even dared to kick down his door?
"I guess I can call you Sister Xing. After all, you're quite a bit older than me." Zhu Man was still willing to establish a good relationship with his special patient, who also happened to be his wife.
"Shi Shaowen, I know what kind of person he is. Just rest assured, I won’t let him die on me," he stated plainly.
After that, Su Xing had little else to say! After all, from his standpoint, he wasn’t in a position to negotiate terms with this young girl.
Shen Jingyu wasted some time on the test results from Qin Yi and heard some analysis regarding the toxins.
The blood expelled from Su Xing contained a type of toxin, not including those that hadn’t been expelled.
Qin Yi was astonished; how on earth did those people manage to hide these toxins in that forest? Was it the pollen? Su Xing had only inhaled it for a short while, yet it had such a significant impact on his body.
Shen Jingyu said solemnly, "It seems we need to arrange for someone to conduct a new investigation of that forest. If anyone else accidentally inhales the toxins there, they might not have such skilled doctors to help them."
However, Qin Yi was still curious: "Why is Sister-in-law’s mother fine? Brother Yu, do you think we should test her as well?"
Shen Jingyu felt it was necessary! So when he took Su Xing away from the old Su Family house, they brought along an additional researcher.
This time, Qin Yi learned the name of the toxin. If they conducted a blood analysis on He Xiaoqing, they would obtain an accurate result without troubling Zhu Man.
Before Shen Jingyu left, Zhu Man made another request of him.
"President Shen, I hope to see your investigation results regarding my mother’s family before tonight! Within three days, I need you to find out the current location of the Gu Family!"
Shen Jingyu agreed! So on their way out, he instructed several departments and entrusted this matter to his most trusted assistant, Luo Hao.
As Shen Jingyu busily worked hard on this task, Su Xing felt a twinge of guilt as he looked at him.
The two sat in the back seat together; Shen Jingyu took a moment to notice Su Xing's expression. He offered him a comforting smile and reached up to pat Su Xing's head gently, providing him with reassurance.
These are not difficult matters. If I can help, I will, without overthinking it, Star!
The conditions I agreed to back then were within my capabilities. That little girl knows the score, and he understands what I can and cannot do.
From my perspective, we are in this together. We should both remember the kindness of Shao Wen, after all, he has indeed sacrificed quite a lot.
Speaking of this, Su Xing felt that something was off.
Was Shao Wen always this impatient? Is he perhaps overreacting this time?
I just heard that he stood outside Zhu Man's door waiting all night last night!
Is this something a duke would do? An impractical thought suddenly popped into Su Xing's mind.
The image flashed by, and the more Su Xing thought about it, the more he felt there might be something to it.
However, Shen Jingyu did not share such thoughts: Zhu Man is a runaway noble lost abroad. Matters concerning the Royal Family from overseas are always steeped in intense conflict; it's never that simple.
Whether Zhu Man returns alone or if he has their support behind him, it’s not going to be easy.
