Help him back to the bamboo house to sleep, and he’ll be revitalized when he wakes,\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin spoke light-heartedly, but the Hidden Guard was unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all he could do was help the Eldest Young Master back to the bamboo house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the Hidden Guard support Xie Jingchen away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing looked at Su Jin and said, \"Miss, why did you make the Master faint from the bath? He used to walk back by himself after his medicinal baths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin smiled faintly, \"This way the medicinal effects are stronger, and he can detoxify his body sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it wouldn’t matter if it were a few days later. We’re not in a hurry; you’ve made him so weak,\" Xingxing said worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In three days, his skin will thicken a bit, and he won’t faint from the bath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you really thicken someone’s skin from a bath? Are you trying to grow calluses?\" Xingxing asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calluses—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she held her forehead as she returned to the bamboo house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat at the desk to grind ink, and Xingxing approached, saying, \"Allow me to grind the ink, Miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, just put the herbs from the box into the drawer,\" Su Jin instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing went over, opened the large box, took out the herbal packages inside, and placed them into the drawer according to their names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin sat there, writing and drawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed like that for half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing, feeling bored, sat on the steps in front of the bamboo house, staring at the sky absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Jin finished and went to the front yard, Mrs. Wang and Hongxiu had been waiting for a quarter of an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she was too tired, as she felt soreness in her waist and a bit dizzy after massaging Mrs. Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing noticed her swaying, held her, and said, \"Miss, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin shook her head, \"I’m alright, maybe just a bit tired these past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you not to stay up late, you’d be overwhelmed, but you wouldn’t listen,\" Xingxing said, her expression showing the consequences of ignoring the maid’s advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang felt quite guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Eldest Young Madam fainted after helping her with her shoulders and back, how could she explain it to the Eldest Young Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang got up from the small couch and said, \"Help the Eldest Young Madam back for a good rest, and have the kitchen prepare a bowl of swallow’s nest porridge for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing helped Su Jin leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin wasn’t used to walking with someone supporting her, as the waist pain and dizziness lasted only a moment. She was puzzled about why she suddenly felt dizzy when she wasn’t poisoned, and her health was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it over, she concluded it must be fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this reason didn’t convince her, as the previous Su Jin certainly hadn’t stayed up night after night, and it wasn’t her style to be unable to handle two sleepless nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the room, Xingxing poured tea for Su Jin and said, \"Miss, take a break tonight. Let the Master accompany you to watch the stars, and handle other matters tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen slept for an hour before waking, having his lunch a bit later, so Su Jin waited for him for two quarters of an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Jin said, Xie Jingchen woke up feeling invigorated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing was amazed seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even more surprised was Xie Jingchen himself—after emerging from the bath barrel, he was so exhausted it felt like a thousand pounds were weighing down his shoulders, making it hard to even lift his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bore with it, but in the end, couldn’t sustain and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a nap, his body felt unbelievably light and comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked at him and said, \"You should feel the benefits of the medicinal bath now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always felt it, but this time it’s more noticeable,\" Xie Jingchen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin reached out to poke his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen eyed her, \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it hurt?\" Su Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it doesn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, your skin has thickened considerably,\" Su Jin said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, after soaking in the medicinal bath, when the Miss touched him, he’d frown from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t say something to irritate each day, she wouldn’t feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring her, Xie Jingchen sat down to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin ate only half a bowl of rice before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen looked at her, \"Not hungry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really, we’re watching stars tonight, and there’s a lot to eat, so I need to save some room,\" Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t let Xingxing’s arrangements go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of star-gazing and snacking opened up her appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid she’d eat more, Su Jin resisted and left the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she wasn’t eating, Xie Jingchen stopped as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night fell, a few more stars appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin and Xie Jingchen sat on the rooftop, waiting for a sky full of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting for so long, instead of a starry sky, they saw clouds cover the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled, stinging their cheeks with cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planned star-gazing turned into cloud-watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like it’s going to rain,\" Xingxing said, climbing the ladder to the roof with a small, disgruntled face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With wind so strong up here, why did you climb up?\" Su Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To pack up the food,\" Xingxing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin held her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little maid had wind blow out her wits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, she was quick at making the Hidden Guards work, and now she decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing crawled over, packed the pastries and fruits into the food box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished, a leaf blew over and stuck to Su Jin’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How annoying, this leaf dared to be impertinent to my Miss,\" Xingxing reached out, removed the leaf, and casually threw it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she smiled, a spasm of pain shot through her stomach, making her gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen’s brow furrowed, he asked, \"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My stomach hurts,\" Su Jin furrowed her brow tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could her stomach suddenly hurt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be the pastries had a problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he ate them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind on the roof was strong, Xie Jingchen suspected it was because Su Jin had caught a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately lifted Su Jin up and leapt off the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the roof, Xingxing suddenly remembered and said, \"I know why Miss has a stomachache, it must be because of your....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say it!\" Su Jin’s face turned red, hurriedly stopping Xingxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This maid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trusts the Master and his little companion, but not everything can be said out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has her pride!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin felt overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Xingxing had her words cut off by Su Jin, her face turning red as she held them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just gazed at Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen didn’t let Su Jin down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin’s face was burning hot, struggling as she said, \"Put me down quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll carry you back to the house,\" Xie Jingchen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving Su Jin a chance to argue, he turned around, carrying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing carried the food box down from the roof and followed them back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw Su Jin pushing Xie Jingchen out, \"Don’t come in yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen’s brows knitted tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not letting him into the room, but allowing Xingxing to go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard stood by and said, \"Why did the Eldest Young Madam suddenly become so strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen’s eyes filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sick and not wanting him to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what she said, becoming a good doctor from long illness, Marquis Dongxiang clearly knew his fate was short-lived, yet still let his daughter marry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be she has some incurable disease?\u003C\u002Fp>",1434,"2026-06-06T02:19:46.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae65232206cc8c4b710f7645473731cf34562646f08c696bb78bac97d79f90f7","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-91","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-89",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-cover.jpg"]
