Chapter 1222: Chapter 1221: Doubts in His Heart

Su Changfeng’s head wasn’t hurting, so when the maid left, he put down his hand that was on his head.

Su Changfeng frowned. He knew too little now, and taking any action would be unwise. He had to wait until he became more familiar with this world before making his next move.

The marriage indeed seemed absurd to Su Changfeng, but to some extent, it helped his current situation. At least, having a formal identity meant others wouldn’t necessarily notice anything strange about him.

"I never thought I would get married again one day. Han Xue, you must forgive me; this isn’t related to me. I’ve been in a coma all this time, this wasn’t my choice," Su Changfeng muttered to himself.

After the maid left Su Changfeng’s room, she turned and went to another room.

At this moment, Shen Rushuang had already changed out of her wedding dress. Her expression was extremely unpleasant. Apparently, Su Changfeng’s sudden awakening was unexpected and unacceptable to her.

"So, what did that person ask?" Shen Rushuang asked.

"Miss, he seems to have no memory of the past at all and only asked about this place and how he came to marry you," the maid replied respectfully.

Shen Rushuang looked contemptuous and said, "I originally thought marrying a useless person who’d never wake up would solve all the problems. Who would have thought he’d be so lucky to wake up at this time? I must kill him. Such a waste, how is he qualified to be my husband?"

"Miss, you just got married today. If you kill him now, wouldn’t your plan fail completely?" the maid asked worriedly.

Shen Rushuang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it won’t fail completely. He’s already married to me, so he’s my husband. Once he dies, I can dutifully keep vigil for him. For a waste, it would be worth three years of peace!"

"Miss, do you have a plan?" the maid asked.

"Isn’t the hunting tournament in Tianshui City coming soon? It’s easy to arrange for him to die then," Shen Rushuang said coldly.

Su Changfeng was locked in a room, and a lock was put on the outside. Though a wooden door couldn’t keep him inside, he dared not go out casually. What kind of world lay outside? What kind of environment would he face after he left? These were things he couldn’t predict.

So, despite the unpleasant feeling of being confined, he had to endure it. Every step he took needed to be cautious because if he died here, he would never see Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai again.

As night fell, Su Changfeng lay on the bed and heard footsteps approaching from outside. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It was the maid from earlier; this time, she came to bring Su Changfeng food.

The meal tasted fairly good, but the maid stood by the side the entire time, which made Su Changfeng feel uncomfortable.

"Have you been the one taking care of me all this time?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Yes, the Miss ordered it," the maid replied expressionlessly, like a robot, devoid of emotion.

"Then how did I eat while I was in a coma?" Su Changfeng asked curiously, thinking it was impossible not to eat anything during a three-month coma.

"Liquid food," the maid replied with two cold, emotionless words.

Su Changfeng nodded and asked, "Who is your Miss and is the Shen Family considered a prominent family in Tianshui City?"

"There are three major families in Tianshui City. The Shen Family is one of them, naturally a prominent family," the maid replied. Shen Rushuang had instructed her earlier to answer whatever he asked, or else she definitely wouldn’t speak more than necessary.

Su Changfeng smiled slightly, never expecting to be so fortunate. Just arriving in the Outer Domain, before he could even get his bearings, he was packed off to "marry" into a prominent family, sparing him from days of hardship.

"Why did your Miss want to marry me?" Su Changfeng asked, although he had a vague guess, he wasn’t clear on the details.

"The City Lord’s son wants to marry my Miss, but my Miss doesn’t like him, so she chose you as a shield," the maid explained.

"Didn’t anyone oppose her decision? You know that at the time, I was practically a vegetable," Su Changfeng asked.

The maid frowned slightly and asked, "Vegetable, what is that?"

Su Changfeng’s eyelid twitched. This word might not exist in the Outer Domain; it seemed he needed to be careful, or people might guess his origins.

"Nothing, I was just making a metaphor, meaning someone who might never wake up," Su Changfeng said.

The maid realized and then explained, "Marrying you had the agreement of both the Miss and her family."

Su Changfeng’s mouth twitched. It seemed not only was the Miss unusual, but the whole family had problems! Not choosing to marry a good City Lord’s son and wanting to marry an unresponsive man, is the City Lord’s son really that unattractive?

"Wouldn’t marrying into the City Lord’s House be better? Why would your Miss be so against it?" Su Changfeng asked, puzzled.

The maid’s eyes showed a hint of impatience and coldly said, "Please finish your meal soon. There will be someone to help you wash and change clothes later."

Wash up?

Su Changfeng subconsciously sniffed his body and finally realized something. He had been in a coma for so long, but there wasn’t any odor on him, and he even had a faint fragrance.

"Was there someone helping me wash while I was unconscious too?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Yes."

Su Changfeng smiled bitterly inside. It means he had already been seen completely by the Shen Family’s servants?

Not long after, several maids prepared hot water. Though these maids were quite attractive, Su Changfeng still couldn’t accept having them help him bathe. As a modern man, this kind of advantage being taken, he couldn’t accept.

While this didn’t mean he was unfaithful to Shen Hanxue, being watched by others, touching him, he couldn’t bring himself to accept this habit.

"You all leave. I can do it myself. You don’t need to help from now on," Su Changfeng said. Previously, while he was incoherent, there was no choice but to allow them to bathe him. Now, being alert, he absolutely wouldn’t let them assist him with this.

The maids stood still, seemingly ignoring Su Changfeng’s words.

Su Changfeng felt a hint of anger and said, "All of you leave, there’s no need for you to serve here!"

"You may leave," Shen Rushuang came over at this moment, finally breaking the tense scene.

At first glance, Su Changfeng found her stunning, and even seeing her in ordinary clothes for the second time, Shen Rushuang still looked beautiful.

It has to be said, she really is a genuine beauty. Yet the more so, the more curious Su Changfeng became about why she wouldn’t want to marry into the City Lord’s House?
