After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 637: Broken Leg
He truly didn’t want to go out and make a fool of himself, but if he didn’t, then wearing these shoes would have no meaning.
But little did Prince NanAn expect that these shoes would make him famous; he didn’t even know who his fiancée was yet and was already celebrated for loving his wife dearly.
Prince NanAn: "..."
Really.
Every time someone praised him, he wanted to beat them up mercilessly.
Could he say he almost died because of these shoes?
This is what happened:
On the day when Dongxiang Marquis Mansion sent betrothal gifts to Prince Yun Mansion, the Duchess tried to make trouble but ended up losing twenty thousand taels instead, making her feel utterly displeased.
Especially since Su Chong was marrying the daughter-in-law she had her eyes on, which made her even more furious.
She had to find a better daughter-in-law than Princess Fu Yun to vent her anger.
After returning, the Duchess immediately started finding a wife for the Heir of Duke Chong.
The Heir of Duke Chong was interested in the legitimate daughter of Nanyang Marquis Mansion, which was Nie Yao.
Nie Yao dared to challenge Prince NanAn, showing clarity of mind and courage not inferior to anyone.
The Duchess wasn’t very optimistic about Nie Yao, although she was good-looking and talented, but Marquis Yangnan was old and his family had no successors.
When marrying a wife, the idea is matching families in status; what you’re really marrying is the backing behind her.
The Duchess wasn’t hopeful, but Duke Chong thought she was a good choice.
Although Nanyang Marquis Mansion had no successors, Marquis Yangnan had the Emperor’s trust, and if they achieve great things, the entire Daqi Dynasty would be in their hands, so it wouldn’t matter whether Yangnan Marquis had heirs.
With Duke Chong’s support, the Duchess had no more to say.
After court, Duke Chong went to propose to Marquis Yangnan, thinking that as long as he spoke up, Marquis Yangnan wouldn’t refuse.
Who knew Marquis Yangnan would reject him cleanly, "Yaoyao is already promised, and today is the day when Prince NanAn Mansion is proposing."
What could Duke Chong say? When he returned to the mansion, he told his son to forget about it.
The Heir of Duke Chong was furious.
The day the Empress Dowager arranged for him to marry Princess Fu Yun, Prince NanAn and his people disrupted the event and even beat him up.
He finally found a girl from Nanyang Marquis Mansion to fancy, only for her to become his fiancée.
They repeatedly went against him, and his patience was wearing thin.
With Prince NanAn Mansion proposing to Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Prince NanAn had no choice but to endure it, so Chu Shun and others arranged to drink away his sorrows at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
The Heir of Duke Chong was also at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
The shoes on Prince NanAn’s feet were too heavy, so when climbing the steps, he was very careful, holding onto the steps.
He seemed to have an injured foot no matter how one looked at it.
Especially since the shoes on his feet were extraordinarily large, it made one suspect his feet were swollen.
The Heir of Duke Chong, seeing him unfavorably, found that Prince NanAn was injured, and thought it was an opportunity to strike.
He stepped down the stairs.
The two met again on a narrow path.
This time, it was the Heir of Duke Chong who sneezed.
That obviously provocative sneeze made Prince NanAn very angry.
But the shoes on his feet were too heavy, making it inconvenient to fight, so he endured.
Wiping his mouth, he cursed and then let it go.
However, the more he acted like this, the less likely the Heir of Duke Chong would let him off.
With a shove, the Heir of Duke Chong pushed Prince NanAn aside and stepped down.
To this extent of provocation, could Prince NanAn not fight back?
The shove from the Heir of Duke Chong was with force, causing his back to slam into the railing, which broke instantly.
Even if it was inconvenient, he had to give a lesson; otherwise, they’d think they could bully him at will.
And then, they started to fight.
Prince NanAn was heavily burdened by his shoes, continually on the losing side.
Chu Shun and others came to help.
The Heir of Duke Chong said coldly, "What, you think outnumbering will help you?"
The steward of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion came over to mediate.
Prince NanAn said coldly, "I don’t need help to teach you a lesson!"
The steward of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion said fearfully, "Pity my Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s new tables and chairs, can the two lords possibly stop fighting?"
"My Drunken Immortal Pavilion can’t afford to offend you two lords; the dishes today are all on the house for the two of you, could you please calm down?"
Calming down wasn’t that easy. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
With Prince NanAn injured, this was not a common opportunity.
The Heir of Duke Chong glanced at Prince NanAn and said, "Let’s fight outside!"
"Outside suits me fine!" Prince NanAn agreed to the end.
The Heir of Duke Chong leaped out the door.
Prince NanAn shuffled out with small steps.
It was a struggle.
Everyone: "..."
Chu Shun looked at Prince NanAn and said, "What happened to your foot?"
"Don’t ask, it’s frustrating," said Prince NanAn.
The Heir of Duke Chong and Prince NanAn fought.
Soon, spectators tightly surrounded the street.
Prince NanAn’s feet were heavy, so he could only fight with his hands, essentially giving the Heir of Duke Chong the advantage with two feet, reducing his chances of winning significantly.
Particularly since the Heir of Duke Chong was skilled at kicking, Prince NanAn took several hits to the chest, spitting blood from his mouth.
In the end, Prince NanAn was kicked flying by the Heir of Duke Chong.
Hmm.
Beside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a tofu seller.
Prince NanAn flew towards the tofu stand.
Upon landing, he didn’t hit the tofu stand.
But the copper boots on his feet were too heavy to exert any force, causing him to retreat step by step due to inertia.
Ultimately—
He sat right onto the freshly made tender tofu that was about to be sold.
With his hands, he even knocked over the tofu dregs that were about to be collected.
It was a scene of a goddess scattering tofu dregs.
Despite the plight, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The Heir of Marquis Beining wanted to help but was stopped by the Heir of Wu’an Bo and others, "One on one, are you trying to sneak attack?!"
"Didn’t you see Prince NanAn’s leg is inconvenient?!" the Heir of Marquis Beining said coldly.
"If his leg really is inconvenient, he shouldn’t have accepted the challenge. Once you fight, it ends when one side concedes," he was told.
The Heir of Marquis Beining was left speechless.
But knowing Prince NanAn’s bad temper, he would never beg for mercy, even if he were beaten to death.
However, regardless, even if the Heir of Duke Chong borrowed courage from the heavens, he wouldn’t dare beat Prince NanAn to death, the sole heir of Prince NanAn Mansion.
But while he wouldn’t risk death, half-dead was possible.
Prince NanAn took ages to get up from the tender tofu before the Heir of Duke Chong delivered another kick.
Prince NanAn couldn’t dodge and instinctively raised his foot to block.
The Heir of Duke Chong struck his foot.
Almost instantly—
The face of the Heir of Duke Chong contorted.
He fell heavily to the ground.
Holding his leg, he screamed miserably.
Initially, everyone sympathized with Prince NanAn for getting beaten badly, but the tide quickly turned as the Heir of Duke Chong cried out even more tragically.
Chu Shun and his group didn’t know what happened.
They quickly came over to help Prince NanAn get up from the tofu stand.
Prince NanAn took off his shoes.
It was then that everyone noticed he was wearing copper boots.
The Heir of Beining tapped them, and the crisp sound was pleasing.
He glanced at the Heir of Duke Chong, who was drenched in cold sweat, and felt a chill down his spine.
Undoubtedly, the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg was broken.
With bad luck, he might be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life.
Prince NanAn’s trouble this time was significant, although it was trouble brought upon by the Heir of Duke Chong himself.
