Chapter 1369 The poison was not completely cured
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she and Xiao Shi exchanged a glance and fell silent.
Yes, the place needs to be safe and secluded.
Staying at the Lu family's house is definitely not an option. So many people come and go at the Lu family's house every day. If even one or two people see it, there is a possibility of it being leaked.
As for the manor itself, it's not very convenient.
Shu Yu frowned, eliminating the places that were impossible to go one by one.
Seeing this, Madam Xiao became even more embarrassed. "Shuyu, if you really can't find a place, I can..."
"I've got it." Before she could finish speaking, Shu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she sat up abruptly.
Xiao was taken aback. "Where?"
“Jiangyuan County is indeed inconvenient, but there is a place that would be very suitable, but... I wonder if my sister-in-law would be willing to live in the prefectural city?”
Madam Xiao nodded, "Of course, if you mention any good points, then there's definitely no problem."
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you there to settle in later. As for today..." She looked at the sky outside; it was already late, and Xiao Shi looked quite tired.
Based on the timeline, she must have been traveling non-stop since leaving the capital, without even taking a break, and her health had already deteriorated considerably due to the poisoning.
Therefore, Shu Yu said to her, "Let's rest at the manor for the night and get enough rest before setting off tomorrow."
"Okay." Madam Xiao smiled, looking relieved.
She had been tense the whole way, but now, after hearing Shu Yuwen's gentle and seemingly calming words, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
With that relaxation, the fatigue on his face became even more apparent.
Shu Yu was a little worried about her health. "Have you been cured of the poison?"
Madam Xiao shook her head. "The imperial physician did indeed prescribe an antidote for me, but my situation was urgent when I left the capital, and the poisoning hasn't been completely neutralized yet. My husband had another reason for sending me to Jiangyuan County: Doctor Zhao is here, and we wanted to ask her to take a look at me."
Although Dr. Zhao was not a royal physician, his medical skills were superb, comparable to those of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Xiang Weinan was well aware of this, which is why he sent Xiao Shi over. With Shu Yumeng Yunzheng and Doctor Zhao here, he felt very reassured.
Shu Yu understood. "Perfect timing. Doctor Zhao is in the prefectural city these days. We'll go there tomorrow, and I'll ask him to take your pulse."
Thank you.
Shu Yu then got up and instructed Ying Xi outside the door to prepare a few rooms in a quieter backyard for Xiao Shi to stay in.
Then he went to tell Zhou Qiao, but didn't say the specific reason. He just said that a friend had run into some trouble and needed to stay overnight.
When Xiao Shi entered the manor earlier, she deliberately wore a veil. Although Zhou Qiao saw Shu Yu leading people into the manor from afar, she did not know who the people were.
Having received Shu Yu's instructions, Zhou Qiao understood the situation and instructed the people in the manor not to go to the backyard.
Shu Yu then went to the kitchen and brought the food to the backyard, where Xiao Shi had already tidied up her luggage and was washing up.
"Eat something first, and then rest early."
"good."
Shu Yu prepared simple, light meals, as Xiao Shi was currently recuperating and should not eat anything too oily.
Sure enough, when Ms. Xiao saw the refreshing dishes, she unconsciously felt her mouth water more.
Shu Yu ate with her. She wasn't going back to the county town tonight anyway, as she had been staying on the farm harvesting sunflowers these past few days.
