Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 375 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis'

“We can’t report this to the authorities!” Tang Ruiqian blurted out, then stammered, “I want to get my family here first.”

Tang Ruiqian was a prince, and if something happened to him and it was reported to the authorities, it would be a serious matter.

Shen Huaizhi understood Tang Ruiqian's concerns and didn't ask any further questions, continuing to speak in accordance with his wishes.

"May I ask your honorable surname, sir? Where should I send someone to search for your family?"

"My surname is Qin, you can just call me Qin San. My family is in..."

Tang Ruiqian gave the address of Qin Wenzhong's residence. Not bad, he wasn't completely stupid and still knew to be cautious.

Shen Huaizhi asked Tang Ruiqian for a token and gave it to the head of the estate, instructing him to personally deliver the message to the Qin residence.

Then, they sent people and carriages to pick up the people on the road and bring them back to the manor. They put the three people under guard and handed them over to the Qin family when they arrived.

Shen Huaizhi has no connection with Tang Ruiqian now. Kind people have done enough to help. As for Tang Ruiqian's predicament, whether it was because he was murdered for showing off his wealth or because he was deliberately murdered, let others worry about that.

Su Jinyue wouldn't be out of the operating room for a while, and Shen Huaizhi saw that Tang Ruiqian was also frightened and somewhat listless, so he arranged a room for him to rest.

Fearing that Tang Ruiqian might feel uncomfortable, Shen Huaizhi also assigned him a temporary servant, who could be given any instructions at any time.

When Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi returned from the city, it was already afternoon. After saving Tang Ruiqian, Su Jinyue underwent a long surgery. By the time Su Jinyue came out of the operating room, the sun was almost setting.

Fortunately, after such a long period of treatment, Xiao Fuzi has been saved.

Xiao Fuzi had two serious injuries: a knife wound on her back and a knife wound in her abdomen.

The wound on my back is just a superficial one. Although it's a bit deep, it can be treated and stitched up.

The abdominal wound was quite deep, but fortunately, Su Jinyue's examination showed that no internal organs were damaged. After the stitches were done, as long as there were no major postoperative reactions, there was still a good chance of recovery.

When Su Jinyue came out of the operating room, Shen Huaizhi was already waiting outside. This matter was urgent, and only Su Jinyue could handle it alone. Shen Huaizhi was worried that Su Jinyue would get tired.

"Are you alright?" Shen Huaizhi carefully observed Su Jinyue's complexion, noticing that apart from being a little tired, she seemed to be fine.

Su Jinyue shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, just a little tired and hungry."

The patient has been saved, but he is currently unable to move easily. He will need to be observed for a few days after the surgery. Once this critical period is over, he will be fine.

“Hmm,” Shen Huaizhi said, not concerned about the patient’s condition. “I’ve had the cook prepare the meal. If you’re hungry, eat first.”

However, just as the food was set on the table, someone came to report that people from the Qin residence had arrived.

Su Jinyue sighed; it seemed she wouldn't be able to eat.

Su Jinyue put down her chopsticks and went to the front hall with Shen Huaizhi.

At the same time, someone was sent to inform Tang Ruiqian that people from the Qin residence had arrived.

On the way to the front hall, Shen Huaizhi briefly explained the incident to Su Jinyue.

Upon arriving at the front hall, Su Jinyue discovered that the person from the Qin residence was none other than Qin Guannan!

Su Jinyue had just met the person in front of Zuixianlou at noon, and now she was seeing him again!

Su Jinyue had a headache. She hadn't had a chance to tell Shen Huaizhi about her discovery at noon, and now the two of them were about to face each other.

But it's too late to talk about it now; we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

When Su Jinyue and Shen Huaizhi arrived, Tang Ruiqian had already met with Qin Guannan.

Qin Guannan dealt with the dispute between Tang Ruihao and the eldest prince's uncle during the day. When he returned to the manor, he saw the head of the estate carrying Tang Ruiqian's keepsake, reporting that Tang Ruiqian had been assassinated.

Qin Guannan was terrified and, without even returning to his residence, led a group of men directly out of the city gate.

Now, seeing Tang Ruiqian standing safely in front of him, Qin Guannan finally calmed his heart, which had been pounding in his chest.

After Tang Ruiqian met his cousin and told him about his fear and anxiety, he finally felt relieved.

Upon seeing Shen Huaizhi and Su Jinyue emerge, Tang Ruiqian was in the mood to introduce his cousin.

"Cousin... uh, brother, this is my sworn brother Shen Huaizhi, and his wife."

Brother Shen, this is my eldest brother, Qin Guannan.

Tang Ruiqian made the introductions, and after the two sides exchanged greetings, they took their seats.

Qin Guannan's gaze fell on Shen Huaizhi. This man was tall and upright, with a humble yet arrogant attitude. Even knowing his identity, he did not fawn over him. He seemed to be no ordinary person. But why had he never heard of this person in the capital?

Upon learning that Shen Huaizhi was an illegitimate son of the Marquis of Xuanping, Qin Guannan remembered that there was such a person.

He knew of Shen Huaizhi because of the Xuanping Marquis's wedding this year, where the legitimate son and the illegitimate son got married on the same day. Qin Guannan had also heard this gossip from his colleagues.

Qin Guannan also heard that Shen Huaizhi, the illegitimate son, was in poor health and rarely went out. It seemed that his marriage this year was intended to bring good luck.

But now it seems that Shen Huaizhi is in good health, and there is no indication that he is unwell or about to die.

Thinking too much is pointless. There are always some secrets in a large, secluded mansion that outsiders don't know about. For example, Shen Huaizhi lives on a suburban estate but not in the Xuanping Marquis's mansion.

"Brother Shen, thank you so much for saving my brother. I am extremely grateful."

Seeing Qin Guannan bow, Shen Huaizhi returned the bow and then waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing. We met him on the road, and there's no reason not to help him in his time of need."

The three perpetrators were subdued and brought to the estate. You can take them with you after that.

However, this servant of the Third Young Master Qin was seriously injured, and even after my wife treated him, he is still not easily moved.

These are all minor matters; as long as Tang Ruiqian is alright, we should be thankful.

However, Qin Guannan glanced at the sky and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Knowing that Tang Ruiqian was alright, Qin Guannan first sent someone back to the city to report to the mansion, so that his father and grandfather would not worry too much.

But it's already late, and even if we set off now, we won't be able to reach the capital before the city gates close.

"Brother Shen, it's getting late, and we don't have time to return to the city..."

Shen Huaizhi had anticipated this situation and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. The room has been prepared long ago. It's just that my humble abode is simple, so I hope you won't mind."

After exchanging words for a while, Tang Ruiqian grew impatient. He looked at Qin Guannan and Shen Huaizhi, and suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Big brother, you and Brother Shen look so alike, it's like you're brothers!"

Upon hearing Tang Ruiqian's words, Shen Huaizhi and Qin Guannan were both stunned. Then, they looked at each other and found something familiar about each other.

Shen Huaizhi fell silent immediately.

Seeing that things were not going well, Su Jinyue hurriedly stepped in to ease the tension: "The world is full of wonders, and it is also a kind of fate to look alike."

It's getting late, everyone must be hungry, right? A meal has been prepared at the estate; it's just simple food, I hope you won't find it offensive…
