After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 601 Looking for Trouble

The next day was another sunny day.

After breakfast, Su Jin took Xingxing to Qihao Hall to pay her respects.

The Qihao Hall was full of people.

When Su Jin entered the room, the Third Madam was speaking. She looked at the Old Madam and said, "It’s so hot, the Old Madam shouldn’t go to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense."

"If you want to donate incense money, just send someone to deliver it."

The Old Madam waved her hand and said, "Worshiping Buddha is a matter of sincerity, how can others do it for me?"

She was determined to go and insisted that no one accompany her.

What the Old Madam wanted to do, besides the Old Prince and Princess Nanzhang, no one else could probably stop her.

The others advised a few words, and seeing the Old Madam’s eyebrows show impatience, they didn’t dare to persuade further.

After paying her respects, Su Jin sat obediently as if she were a wooden stake.

She couldn’t just bid farewell right after checking in.

Doing so would seem emotionless and routine.

Anyway, sitting for a while to listen to Capital City’s gossip isn’t bad.

But Su Jin could feel Mrs. Wang’s gaze sweeping over her several times, as if she had something to say to her.

Mrs. Wang did indeed have something to say to Su Jin.

She wanted to tell Su Jin—

The Old Madam is genuine.

Last night, after the Old Madam finished her chanting, she prepared to rest.

Lanzhi brought warm water to serve the Old Madam and wash her feet.

Lanzhi discovered a scar on the Old Madam’s heel and asked, "Old Madam, why is there a scar on your heel?"

"I accidentally stepped on a fire pit and got burned when I was young," the Old Madam replied casually.

"It must have hurt a lot back then," Lanzhi said, showing sympathy.

The Old Madam did not answer.

But the words she spoke casually were heard by Mrs. Wang.

She had overlooked some things.

The Old Madam had amnesia, but she didn’t forget everything.

The things that the late Old Master and Old Madam left her, she still remembers.

If the Old Madam had really changed into a different person as the Heir’s wife said, losing the Old Madam’s memories and pretending to have amnesia to deceive everyone, then the Old Madam should have forgotten her past memories, too.

Although the Old Madam now prefers sweeter flavors, most of her tastes have not changed.

The porridge she made was liked by the Old Madam because the porridge-making method was taught to her by the Old Madam. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After losing her memory, the Old Madam tasted it at once.

She still remembered the Old Madam holding the porridge bowl, her eyes moist.

The Old Madam is absolutely real!

But there were many people around, and Mrs. Wang couldn’t find a chance to speak with Su Jin.

Moreover, the Old Madam didn’t like her to have much contact with Su Jin.

However, yesterday, Mrs. Wang gave thirty pills to the Old Madam through Su Jin, and the Old Madam took them. As an elder, she surely must reward the younger generation.

"Give the red jade hairpin to the Heir’s wife as a reward," the Old Madam said.

Mrs. Wang turned to get the red jade hairpin.

After taking the jade hairpin from the drawer, Mrs. Wang turned around to leave.

After walking a few steps, she thought for a moment, then took paper and pen to write a note and put it in the brocade box.

This scene happened to be seen by Lanzhi.

She quickly turned around and left.

Inside the room, the Old Madam was drinking tea.

Lanzhi leaned in and whispered a few words in her ear, and the Old Madam’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

Mrs. Wang approached with the brocade box, just about to hand it directly to Su Jin.

The Old Madam said, "Let me see it."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback.

She tightened her grip on the brocade box.

With the Old Madam reaching out, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to pass the brocade box to her.

The Old Madam opened the brocade box and saw the red jade hairpin.

But inside the brocade box, there was nothing else.

The Old Madam glanced at Lanzhi, who felt a little flustered.

She clearly saw Mrs. Wang putting a note in the brocade box, so why was it not there?

The Old Madam picked up the red jade hairpin and handed the brocade box casually to Lanzhi.

Looking at Su Jin, the Old Madam said, "Come here, I’ll put it on for you."

Su Jin frowned tightly.

Could it be that Mrs. Wang hid something for her in the brocade box?

But the brocade box was in Lanzhi’s hands, she couldn’t forcibly take it back.

If she were to use force, it would only solidify Mrs. Wang’s crime.

Mrs. Wang looked calm.

Su Jin believed the brocade box should be fine.

She stepped forward, and the Old Madam put the jade hairpin on her.

The Old Madam praised Su Jin a few times and then dismissed everyone.

Lanzhi took the brocade box, searched it again and again, but found nothing.

Mrs. Wang looked at her coldly and said, "What are you trying to find in the brocade box?"

Lanzhi shuddered, and the brocade box slipped from her hands to the ground with a thud.

"N-nothing," Lanzhi stammered in panic.

After speaking, she picked up the brocade box and ran off.

Mrs. Wang’s expression was calm, but no one knew her back was drenched in sweat.

If she hadn’t been worried that the Heir’s wife would open the brocade box in public, she wouldn’t have risked the note being seen or hidden at the bottom of the box where the Heir’s wife couldn’t see it, so she held onto the note in her palm, planning to slip it over when handing the box.

Today, she nearly lost her life at the hands of this maid.

After leaving Qihao Hall, Xingxing followed Su Jin to Agarwood Pavilion.

On the way, Xingxing looked around, ensuring no one was around, then handed a note to Su Jin.

Su Jin, "..."

"Where did this come from?" Su Jin asked.

"Just as we left, Hongxiu bumped into me and slipped it to me," Xingxing said.

"She probably didn’t dare to bump into you, so she bumped into me instead."

Su Jin opened the note; there were only six words—

The Heir’s wife guessed wrong.

Su Jin’s eyebrows knitted into a knot.

She had felt so excited, thinking Mrs. Wang had passed her some critical, urgently needed good news.

Turns out it was just to dampen her spirits.

How did she guess wrong?

Since they had sent a note, why couldn’t they write a few more words?

Isn’t this just more tormenting for her heart and mind?!

Su Jin casually crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it into the Lotus Pond.

Thinking someone had thrown food, koi in the pond swarmed over.

Finding it inedible, they soon dispersed.

Only the small paper ball drifted with the current.

Su Jin stood by the lakeside in the breeze.

For a long time.

She decided to head back to Agarwood Pavilion.

In the distance, a little maid ran over and said, "Heir’s wife, Princess Beimo, Princess Shouning, and the eldest girl from Duke Chong’s Mansion are here."

"Are they here to pick a fight again?" Xingxing blurted out.

Su Jin, "..."

The little maid, "..."

The little maid blushed.

Don’t ask her about it.

She couldn’t answer this question.

The little maid quickly retreated.

Su Jin turned back to Agarwood Pavilion.

However, after a few steps, she saw Xie Jinyu approaching.

She looked at Su Jin and said coldly, "Big sister-in-law is the Heir’s wife of Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion, prominent guests are here, don’t you intend to greet them?"

The scolding tone, no matter how one hears it, is unpleasant.

A bunch of troublemakers, what’s there to welcome?

Trying to avoid trouble, but still being picked on.

With a bunch of conspirators, Su Jin had no patience, "It was careless of me. The Princess Consort is bedridden nurturing her pregnancy, and the Commandery Princess is only a concubine without enough status. As the Heir’s wife, I indeed should go out to greet the two Princes."

"You!" Xie Jinyu was so angry that her face turned green.

"Enough of ’you!’ Let’s go together; it’s not good to neglect the two Princes," Su Jin said with a gentle smile.

After speaking, Su Jin turned and walked forward.

Behind her, Xie Jinyu was stomping her feet in anger.
