Chapter 1369: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1369: Toxin Not Completely Cured
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she and Xiao Shi exchanged glances and fell silent together.
Indeed, they needed to find a place that was safe and concealed.
Staying at the Lu family's place was definitely not an option because there were too many people coming and going, and there was a possibility of leaks.
As for this estate, it wasn't very convenient either.
Shu Yu furrowed her brows in contemplation, eliminating one impossible option after another.
Seeing Xiao Shi's embarrassed expression, Shu Yu smiled and said, "If you can't find a place, I can..."
Before she finished her sentence, Shu Yu suddenly brightened her eyes and sat up straight.
Xiao Shi was taken aback, "Where?"
"Jiangyuan County might not be convenient, but there is a place that is quite suitable. However, I don't know if you're willing to live in the city?"
Xiao Shi nodded, "Of course, if you say it's a good place, then there shouldn't be a problem."
Shu Yu smiled, "Alright, I'll take you there to settle down. As for today... It's getting late, and you look quite tired, so let's rest at the estate tonight and set off tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Shi smiled, as if a great burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
She had been tense all the way here, and now, after hearing Shu Yu's soothing words, she finally let out a long sigh, and her whole body relaxed.
With this relaxation, her tiredness became more apparent on her face.
Shu Yu was a little worried about her physical condition and asked, "Has the poison been completely cured?"
Xiao Shi shook her head, "The imperial physician did give me the antidote, but I had to leave the capital urgently, and the poison hasn't been completely cured. The reason my husband sent me to Jiangyuan County was also to have doctor Zhao check on me."
Although doctor Zhao wasn't a court physician, his medical skills were top-notch, comparable to the head of the Imperial Physician's Court.
Xiang Weinan knew this very well, so he felt at ease sending Xiao Shi here, where Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng, and doctor Zhao were present.
Shu Yu understood, "Perfect, doctor Zhao has been in the town for the past few days. When we go there tomorrow, I'll ask him to examine you."

"Thank you."
Shu Yu then got up, instructed Ying Xi, who was outside the door, to prepare several rooms in a more secluded area of the estate for Xiao Shi's stay.
Afterward, she informed Zhou Qiao without revealing specific reasons, only saying that a friend had encountered some trouble and would be staying at the estate for one night.
Xiao Shi had covered her head when she entered the estate, so Zhou Qiao didn't know who was visiting when she saw Shu Yu bringing someone in from a distance.
Following Shu Yu's instructions, Zhou Qiao understood what was happening and directed the estate's staff not to go to the backyard.
Later, Shu Yu brought some food from the kitchen to the backyard. Xiao Shi had already sorted out her luggage and was washing up.
"Eat something first, and rest after you finish."
"Alright."
Shu Yu had prepared simple and light dishes, considering that Xiao Shi was currently adjusting her body and shouldn't consume anything too greasy.
Indeed, when Xiao Shi saw the refreshing dishes, she couldn't help but feel her mouth watering.
Shu Yu accompanied her as they ate together. Tonight, she wouldn't return to the county. She had been busy harvesting sunflowers at the estate these days.
