"Last time it was because the drug's power had spread throughout your body and had already melted into your blood, so no other drugs were needed to neutralize it."

"If it is highly poisonous, not to mention the damage to your body, you will die in less than a quarter of an hour after taking it. Such a short time is far from enough for it to reach your entire body, not to mention that you need to take an antidote."

Hearing his affirmative tone, Su Qinghe looked regretful. It seems that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world!

Retracting his thoughts, Su Qinghe asked, "Do you have warm water here?"

Ling Feng nodded and motioned to Xiaoying beside him to pour a glass.

Su Qinghe took it, helped Lin Xi up and fed him personally, and only put the water aside after the man slowly woke up.

"Wife master?"

Lin Xi opened his eyes and felt dizzy. He looked at Su Qinghe and then at Ling Feng beside him, with a confused look on his face.

"Mr. Ling is here too... where are we?"

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Lin Xi became more and more confused and looked up to ask Su Qinghe.

Seeing that he was completely unaware, Su Qinghe sighed deeply and rubbed his head.

"This is Qianfeng Garden. How do you feel now..."

Su Qinghe told him in detail what Wenzhu had done, and seeing the man's eyes gradually widening, she felt that he needed more training.

The decision to choose Lin Xi as the ruler was made after careful consideration of many factors.

Although Ji Yuan would never make mistakes as a housekeeper, he was several years older than other men and had a calm temperament.

In this way, the backyard is in order, but it lacks casualness. The other men may have more or less hindered their nature. In front of him, they are like juniors meeting elders, and are restrained in every way. This is not what Su Qinghe wants to see.

In comparison, Lin Xi, who knew little about the rules of the mansion, was more casual when interacting with them, and did not become serious because of his status as the king. The men were respectful to him but not afraid of him.

Su Qinghe felt that this made them more like a family.

As for the housekeeping matters, you can work with Ji Yuan. It would be too tiring if only one person is in charge. It would be more effective if two people work together to manage the affairs of the household!

But Lin Xi, with her simple personality, really needs to learn more.

After finishing the last sentence, Su Qinghe stood up looking at Lin Xi's incredulous expression.

"It's too late now, and you're tired from the drug. Let's stop here for today. As for Wenzhu, we'll deal with it tomorrow morning. You have to think about it carefully and remember it."

"Yes." Lin Xi responded absentmindedly.

After nodding to Ling Feng to express his gratitude, Su Qinghe picked up Lin Xi and strode out the door.

After all, this was where someone else lived, so she couldn't just let Lin Xi sleep here for a night.

He carried Lin Xi steadily all the way back to Chunshui Pavilion, but when he entered the house, he saw Wenzhu still unconscious on the ground.

Lin Xi buried his head in Su Qinghe's arms, but still couldn't help but look up.

When I saw him in disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, I felt uncomfortable.

He was so nice to him on weekdays and never beat or scolded him, but he didn't expect that he would have such thoughts.

It would be fine if he was a decent man who simply loved his wife, but he was so unscrupulous!

Not only did he deliberately say that kind of thing to scare him, but he even drugged his wife!

Closing his eyes sadly, Lin Xi hid himself back in Su Qinghe's arms without looking at her again.

Su Qinghe seemed not to notice Wenzhu on the ground and stepped directly over him and went into the inner room.

After putting the person back on the couch, Su Qinghe didn't bother to wash up carefully. He simply drank a sip of tea as a rinse.

After taking off his outer robe and holding the man in his arms, Su Qinghe taught him carefully in his ears.

Lin Xi remained silent the entire time, and nodded seriously every time Su Qinghe said something. His obedient look made Su Qinghe lose her temper.

How could she bear to keep scolding such a well-behaved person!

After carefully tucking in the quilt, Su Qinghe said, "Go to sleep. Let today's incident be a lesson for you."

Lin Xi nodded again when he heard that, but after a while he looked up at Su Qinghe.

"Wife, what about Wenzhu? Are we going to let him lie there all night? It's still early spring, and if he stays frozen all night like this, something bad might happen..."

Seeing Su Qinghe lowering her head and looking at her dangerously, Lin Xi quickly retracted her head and the words in her mouth gradually died down.

His wife had just taught him not to be "overly compassionate". Although this was a new term, his wife had explained it to him and told him how serious it was, but he just couldn't help himself...

He raised his eyes and carefully looked at Su Qinghe's face. Seeing that she was still looking at him, he quickly put on a smile and admitted his mistake.

Su Qinghe snorted and tapped him on the forehead. "Don't do it again. Remember this."

After thinking about it, she added.

"He won't be frozen to death in this kind of weather, so just sleep peacefully."

"Yeah." Hearing her say that she would not die, Lin Xi felt much more at ease and closed his eyes obediently.

……

Early the next morning, Su Qinghe got up with Lin Xi, which was a rare occurrence.

There was still some residual effect of the medicine in Lin Xi's body. Even after sleeping for a whole night, he still felt a little dizzy when he woke up. He felt better only after washing his face with clean water.

After they had packed up, they went to the outer room and found Wenzhu still lying there motionless, her lips had turned purple from the cold, and she was curled up into a ball.

Seeing this, Lin Xi turned his head away reluctantly, but didn't say anything else.

"Nanfeng, come in." Su Qinghe took a look and shouted outside the door.

After everyone came in, Su Qinghe pointed at the person on the ground. "Carry him up."

Nanfeng carried the person on his shoulders without saying a word.

Lin Xi was confused. "My dear wife, how are you going to deal with him?"

Su Qinghe did not reply immediately, but took the man's hand and walked out.

"Let's eat first and talk later."

Lin Xi nodded and followed Su Qinghe out of the yard. They went to the homes of several other men along the way, but their houses were all empty.

It seems that they got up too late today.

Pulling the person forward all the way, Nanfeng carried the person behind him and only put the person down on the ground when they reached the hall.

Several men were startled and stood up one after another, only Ling Feng looked calm.

"Wife, what happened to Wenzhu?"

Looking at the miserable man lying on the ground, the usually bold Qin Ange took a few steps and squatted in front of him.

Ji Qingyu grabbed Ji Yuan's clothes with some fear.

Ji Yuan frowned and seemed to have guessed something when he saw Wenzhu's disheveled appearance.

"Wife, is Xiaoxi okay?"

He walked forward and looked around at Lin Xi with concern.

Lin Xi shook her head embarrassedly, and Su Qinghe told them the story again, during which Lin Xi also added what Wenzhu had told her.

After he finished speaking, Ji Yuan looked remorseful. Thinking about the possibility of hurting Lin Xi's child, he felt extremely regretful.

"In fact, I have already noticed that something is wrong with him, but he is Xiaoxi's servant after all, and he has been very well behaved recently. I have no evidence, so it is not easy for me to control him too much. I didn't expect that he would be such a big hidden danger."

"My wife, my lord, I am also responsible for this matter."

After saying that, Ji Yuan stood up, walked in front of Su Qinghe with a serious face, and was about to kneel down.

"What are you doing! I'm not such an unreasonable person."

Su Qinghe's face turned dark and he quickly stopped the man. Lin Xi was also shocked and quickly stood up to help him.

"Brother Yuan, what are you doing? I am too naive and don't know people well. You are not wrong. Get up quickly."
