After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 621: Weak Legs

Holding Su Jin in his arms for two quarters of an hour, Xie Jingchen couldn’t fall asleep.

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out.

Seeing him come out, Xingxing was startled and quickly stood up.

The maids and old women in the Agarwood Pavilion stared at Xie Jingchen, looking him up and down.

All they saw on the Young Master’s face was high spirit and energy, no signs of a bruised face from a beating.

Could it be that the Young Master has asserted his authority?

Xie Jingchen went to the bathhouse.

Xingxing went into the house and saw Su Jin sleeping on the bed, her exposed arm marked with red indentations, making Xingxing’s heart skip a beat.

She hurried over to check on Su Jin’s arm.

Then—

Raised her hand to check Su Jin’s breathing.

Thank goodness.

The girl was still alive.

Xingxing’s heart, which had been in her throat, settled back down.

Even though it’s always those who bully Su Jin who end up unlucky.

But Xingxing always worried her girl would be beaten to death by the young master.

After all, the girl had stumbled because of him once; if she hadn’t tried to seize him, she wouldn’t have tripped over the threshold and lost her memory.

A rude awakening—

Xingxing feared her girl might lose her breath in a moment of excitement.

Looking at the mess all around, Xingxing got up to tidy up.

Only then did she find that the dress was torn, the table had moved, and the screen beside the small couch had toppled over. If her girl knew no martial arts, Xingxing wouldn’t doubt that she and the young master had battled for three hundred rounds.

While Xingxing restored the room to its original state, Xie Jingchen soaked in the bath.

The Hidden Guard came in to report about the Unity Jade.

Hearing the Hidden Guard speak of life and death ties, Xie Jingchen was touched.

"I never thought there’d be such strange Gu Worms in the world," he marveled.

First, the Disguise Gu, which could meld and reshape, then the Unity Gu that tied one’s fates.

Xie Jingchen, to save Su Jin, had not hesitated to fall off a cliff with her.

Having already shared a life-and-death connection, how could he fear a Unity Gu?

Yet the thought that if one day something happened to one of them, Xie Jingchen still hoped that should he die, Su Jin would live well.

When Su Jin woke up, it was already very dark.

A lamp was lit in the room.

Xie Jingchen sat there reading a book.

Su Jin awoke from hunger.

Returning from Qihao Hall, she had planned to eat lunch, but after disassembling a Unity Jade, she was gnawed down to the bone by Xie Jingchen.

Now she was so hungry that her stomach was touching her back.

As she moved, her bones creaked, especially a certain part that hurt so much it made her gasp.

Thinking of how she was treated earlier, a small flame in Su Jin’s eyes roared into a great blaze.

She picked up a pillow and threw it at Xie Jingchen.

Unfortunately, her arm was weak, and the pillow fell to the ground before it even reached him.

Xie Jingchen turned around, while Su Jin covered her chest with a quilt, glaring at him viciously.

"I’m the one who got knocked over," Xie Jingchen said innocently. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"..."

Su Jin couldn’t process that for a moment.

She thought about it and realized she had indeed thrown herself into his arms and knocked him onto the table first.

She had been the one eagerly pulling at his belt too.

Su Jin wanted to die.

Xie Jingchen walked to the bedside and leaned on it, moving forward.

Su Jin, her back against the bed, with flickering eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "You could have pushed me away!"

Not to mention with one hand, a single finger could topple her.

Xie Jingchen stared into Su Jin’s eyes and said, "Don’t you know yourself well?"

"Know what about me?" Su Jin asked.

"Those who resist you don’t end up well," Xie Jingchen’s voice was rich like wine.

"..."

Su Jin had never seen someone who took advantage and then acted all innocent.

She felt like kicking him up to the ceiling.

Actually, since returning from the cliff, Su Jin hadn’t thought about leaving with a separation letter.

Since she wasn’t leaving, consummating the marriage was only a matter of time.

It’s just that the consummation came too unexpectedly, nearly taking half her life.

Xingxing pushed the door open, sticking her little head in, "Young lady, you’re awake?"

"Prepare hot water, I need a bath," Su Jin said.

Xingxing hurried to call the little maid to fetch hot water from the small kitchen.

After testing the temperature, it was just right. Xingxing was about to help Su Jin down from the bed, when Xie Jingchen said, "You go out first."

Xingxing paused and then hurried out.

Su Jin glared at Xie Jingchen, wondering what he intended to do, with Xingxing not conveniently in the room.

But then Xie Jingchen reached out to her, "Didn’t you want a bath?"

Su Jin gave him a sidelong glance and moved off the bed.

She had just gotten up when she almost fell to her knees.

Her legs wouldn’t listen at all.

Xie Jingchen let out a low laugh and picked up a Su Jin wrapped in a quilt.

Su Jin didn’t struggle, lifting her head to see Xie Jingchen’s profile, flawless and perfectly beautiful.

Su Jin felt displeased in her heart; she was exhausted, while he was still full of energy—such a hit to one’s spirit.

"Should I drug you to make your legs weak too?" Su Jin asked.

"..."

"Drugging only treats the symptoms, not the root cause," Xie Jingchen said.

"You know how to treat the root?" Su Jin doubted.

"Next time if you’re on top, things might be a lot better," Xie Jingchen whispered in Su Jin’s ear.

"..."

"Shameless!"

"..."

Xie Jingchen put Su Jin in the bathtub and brought out some salve.

This time, he didn’t torment Su Jin.

Su Jin really couldn’t endure any more torment.

After bathing, dressing, Xingxing brought in the meal.

Four dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice; except for the half bowl of soup, everything else was eaten up.

Su Jin put down her chopsticks, and Xingxing stared at her, "Young lady, do you want to eat a bit more?"

"No more," Su Jin felt her stomach was a bit full.

Bi Zhu came in to take the dishes away.

Only then did Xingxing find the chance to speak with Su Jin, "Third Master, Third Madam, and Second Miss have been kneeling at the Old Prince’s door for half the day."

Su Jin’s lips curved into a cold smile.

Are they pleading with the Old Prince to forgive the Old Madam?

As their mother made a mistake, of course, as children, they must ask for mercy, but have they thought if the Old Prince can forgive the Old Madam?

Accompanying the Old Prince through those hard times was his wife, the dignified Old Madam, not someone capable of such a brazenly shameless act as eloping.

A person willing to harm her sister for wealth, utterly ruthless, must be severely punished, lest it wound Prince Han and the Grand Miss’s hearts.

Usurping the Old Madam’s position, living high and mighty for over thirty years, if executed outright, would be too lenient on her.

What will the Old Prince and the Prince do to deal with the Old Madam?

Revealing that the Old Madam is fake will surely draw out her youthful elopement.

Such a person held the title of Duchess for over thirty years, leaving the Old Prince utterly oblivious, shamed.

Noble families love their reputation; they would likely quietly handle the Old Madam, wouldn’t they?

But this has nothing to do with Su Jin.

She already disliked the Old Madam, whether she ends up dead or alive, there won’t be a chance to jump around in front of her again.
