The next day, Su Jinyue woke up late, and unusually, Shen Huaizhi also didn't get up.
Since he recovered, he has been getting up early every morning to practice martial arts.
But now, Shen Huaizhi is sleeping soundly with Su Jinyue in his arms.
Su Jinyue moved her body, only to feel extremely weak and sore.
She could only sigh that men who had taken a virginity were not to be trifled with, especially the men she had raised to be so healthy. She wondered if this was reaping what she had sown.
As soon as Su Jinyue moved, Shen Huaizhi also woke up. Touching the soft and smooth body beside him, Shen Huaizhi remembered that he and his wife had finally consummated their marriage yesterday.
Shen Huaizhi thought, no wonder they say that the spring night is too short and the sun rises too high, and from then on the emperor no longer holds court in the morning. The pleasures of the boudoir are truly indescribable.
He and his wife have been married for so long before consummating their marriage, they've really missed out on a lot of fun, they should make up for it later.
As Shen Huaizhi thought about it, he felt a growing urge to try.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi were pressed intimately together, and she noticed his actions, but she really couldn't take it anymore.
Su Jinyue struggled to break free from Shen Huaizhi's embrace, clutching the blanket and looking at him warily.
"I'm hungry, I need to get up!"
Shen Huaizhi was both amused and exasperated. Was he really that scary?
Looking at the scattered red spots on Su Jinyue's exposed skin outside the blanket, Shen Huaizhi recalled that he might have been a bit reckless last night, and couldn't help but touch his nose.
Forget it, let her rest for two days.
Su Jinyue felt that men who had tasted the forbidden fruit were really clingy, never leaving her side for a moment.
If it weren't for the maids serving her during the day, Shen Huaizhi would have directly made advances on her. Seriously, Shen Huaizhi, where is your gentlemanly demeanor?
Although Su Jinyue enjoyed the things that happened in bed, she wondered if she had spoiled Shen Huaizhi too much.
The frequency has been too high lately, and even Su Jinyue herself feels she can't handle it anymore.
In the end, Su Jinyue had no choice but to use the excuse of training the servants brought by Feng Enchi and others to refuse Shen Huaizhi's advances.
Watching Su Jinyue run away, Shen Huaizhi shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't do anything in broad daylight; if he was going to do something, he would do it at night.
Shen Huaizhi went to the study, where Ping An had already brought back the summary of information collected from the teahouse and bookstore.
There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the news from the capital. At most, people are saying that the young dandies in the capital have been quieter lately and haven't caused any trouble.
Feng Enchi and Tang Ruihao have been quite focused on business lately, and they also need to present samples to the elders in the manor to obtain funds for opening a shop. They've been spending more time at the estate and haven't had time to stroll around the capital.
Their affairs weren't urgent; what Shen Huaizhi was concerned about was the increase in people secretly watching them in the vicinity as they frequently visited the estate.
The little beggars trained by Ping An also came in handy, and they were all sent out to keep an eye on those who were secretly coveting the manor.
What Shen Huaizhi didn't expect was that the two attendants who came out of the mansion with him, Baoshu and Xiyan, were also secretly making moves.
You never know what you'll find until you investigate!
Having followed him around carrying books and washing inkstones since childhood, Shen Huaizhi had always thought he was one of Lord Shen's men, but now he realized that his previous guesses were all wrong.
In fact, these two people don't even have the same master behind them!
Fortunately, Shen Huaizhi was always very wary of them and did not let them serve him closely, and he kept the matter of the detoxification a secret.
Even though he has changed quite a bit recently, the reason given to the public is that Su Jinyue found a secret recipe for him, which helped him maintain his health, and with daily exercise, he has achieved his current results.
Shen Huaizhi also placed people to follow his two attendants. The situation was unclear at the moment, and he did not want to alert them. He only wanted to find out who their master was.
That day, Su Jinyue was doing a final review with Shen Huaizhi. The shop they had partnered with, along with Feng Enchi and others, had been renovated, and the staff in the new workshop and shop had all been trained.
The first batch of products was almost finished, and the two discussed choosing an auspicious day to open for business.
As the two were talking, a messenger came from outside to report that Xi Yan was requesting an audience with the young master.
Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi exchanged a glance, and the other finally couldn't resist taking action.
Shen Huaizhi instructed that Xi Yan be brought in.
As soon as Xi Yan entered, he knelt down and bowed deeply to Shen Huaizhi.
Shen Huaizhi was surprised, but made no move to get up and help the other person up: "Xi Yan, what do you mean by this? Why are you performing such a grand gesture?"
Xi Yan lowered his head, his heart sinking. His master truly no longer trusted him.
Since Shen Huaizhi took Ping An in as a page three years ago, he and Bao Shu have gradually stopped serving their master closely.
The master is wise; perhaps he has indeed realized something over the years, which is why he has become wary of him and Baoshu.
Xi Yan smiled bitterly. He had been sent by his superiors to take care of his master and had no choice but to obey orders.
Fortunately, someone from above has contacted him again. If the master knows the truth, he will believe that he really has no bad intentions and will definitely trust him again.
Xi Yan raised her head and looked excitedly at Shen Huaizhi, but when she saw Su Jinyue next to her, her expression became somewhat hesitant.
"Young Master, Xi Yan has something important to report to you..."
He didn't continue speaking, clearly out of consideration for the presence of the young mistress, Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue remained seated, and Shen Huaizhi said, "There are no outsiders here, so just say what you need to say."
Xi Yan hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Shen Huaizhi was determined, she gritted her teeth and spoke frankly.
"Young Master, your health has always been poor and weak, not because of congenital weakness, but because of poisoning!"
Xi Yan originally thought that Shen Huaizhi would be shocked and astonished upon hearing this news, but to her surprise, Shen Huaizhi did not react at all!
This time it was Xi Yan's turn to be surprised. Why was the young master's reaction so calm?
Shen Huaizhi raised his eyelids and chuckled: "You think I shouldn't react like this?"
I knew about the poisoning three years ago.
Xi Yan stammered, "Young Master, you..."
Shen Huaizhi interrupted him and continued, "You should also be able to sense that I started distancing myself from you and Baoshu three years ago."
You and Baoshu are more than ten years older than me, and you came into my life when I was little. It's impossible that you were completely unaware of my physical condition, but for eighteen years, you haven't said a single word to me.
How can I trust you?
