140 A Princess Carry

“You smoke?” Shi Mu stared at him in shock.

Yuan Yi noted the disdain of the rest of the Shi family toward Shi Mu and nodded in amusement. “That’s right. We’re all adults. Is there a problem?”

Shi Mu frowned and subconsciously moved away from him.

Shi Mu had a unique sense of smell since he was young, so he especially hated more intense smells like smoke. Shi Zhong and Shi Ke would occasionally smoke. Every time, he would deliberately stay away to avoid choking on the smoke.

However, although he hated it, he was not so pretentious as to order everyone around him to quit smoking for him.

Shi Mu touched his nose unnaturally and said calmly, “Oh, there’s no problem. Stay away from me when you smoke in the future. After smoking, you have to wait for the smell to dissipate before approaching me. My nose can’t stand this smell.”

“Alright.” Yuan Yi agreed readily. While everyone’s attention was on Shi Man, he secretly stuck out his tongue at her and asked for her reward.

He was the one who had helped her cover up the scent of the gunpowder left behind after the shooting. He would not let her go easily.

Shi Man nodded gently, then stood up and walked to the sofa toward Su Tang, who was holding her stomach with a pained expression, frowned and asked, “Stomach pain? How did you get it?”

“I don’t know either.” Su Tang had never had a stomachache before. At this moment, she was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. Her body was hunched like a prawn, and she couldn’t even straighten her back.

“Butler, go get the medicine,” Shi Man instructed coldly.

She supported Su Tang and laid her down on the soft sofa. She personally poured her a glass of hot water. “Drink some to warm your stomach. Sleep with me after taking the medicine. There’s no need to go back to the Yi family.”

Su Tang nodded in pain. She suddenly raised her hand and held Shi Man’s hand. She lowered her voice apologetically and said, “I wanted to help you guard outside the door just now. I didn’t expect my stomach to suddenly hurt so much. I could only watch helplessly as Yuan Yi walked out of the door. Did anything happen?”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows. She did not expect her to be so smart at this moment. She smiled and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to worry.”

“That’s good.” Only then did Su Tang rest her head on the arm of the sofa in relief. She covered her stomach and was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak.

The butler quickly found the stomach medicine. Just now, they were all surrounding Shen Xian, but no one noticed the commotion on Su Tang’s side. He felt very guilty that he did not help Miss take good care of her guest.

Shen Xian also felt guilty and uneasy. She could tell that Su Tang’s illness was not faked. She hurriedly took the stomach medicine from the butler and personally brought it to Su Tang’s mouth. She comforted her softly, “I’m sorry. It was Auntie’s fault just now. Quickly take these pills. These are all special medicine. It won’t hurt anymore after a while.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Su Tang sat up in pain and held a few bitter pills to her mouth. She took a big sip of hot water from Shi Man’s hand and sent the medicine into her stomach. Then, she fell back onto the sofa exhausted and did not even have the strength to move her fingers.

Shen Xian sighed and felt sorry for this poor girl. She hurriedly called for the servants at home to help her rest in the guest room.

In the past, because Shi Man liked Yi Zheng, she actually didn’t like this girl who suddenly appeared beside her future son-in-law. In addition, Shi Man was always at odds with her, so she naturally hated her even more.

However, after interacting with her a few times, Shen Xian could tell that Su Tang was a kind and gentle girl. She was definitely not the kind of bitch who deliberately snatched someone’s fiancé.

Moreover, looking at Shi Man’s nervous expression, it was not difficult for Shen Xian to see how close the two of them were. Naturally, she was more concerned about her. Even if Shi Man asked Su Tang to be placed in the Shi family now, she would immediately agree.

The servants also knew that it was their negligence just now that caused the guest to suffer for so long. They hurriedly walked over to help Su Tang up, but when they were about to approach the sofa, Shi Man raised her hand and stopped them.

She frowned and looked at the thin women. She said coldly, “Can you guys carry her?”

The servants looked at each other in confusion.

How could they overestimate themselves and carry Miss Shi’s guest? Of course, they would help her into the guest room to rest!

Shi Man did not wait for them to explain. She stood up and bent down. Her arm passed through Su Tang’s knee and she easily picked her up from the sofa. She looked coldly at the servants who were shocked by her actions and said impatiently, “Get out of the way.”

The few of them hurriedly made way. Shi Man ignored the shocked gazes of her brothers and parents and steadily carried Su Tang up the steps. She slowly walked to her room and placed her on her bed.

After she disappeared around the corner upstairs, Shi Mu came back to his senses and cried out in disbelief, “Was that really Manman just now?! She was too strong! I thought my sister was the weak type!”

Shi He rolled his eyes at him and sneered in disgust. “Have you forgotten that in the video of the last practical training, Sister dragged almost a few hundred people up the city wall from beginning to end?”
