After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 641: Detour

Su Jin examined and described at the same time, with the Imperial Physician nodding in agreement beside her, confirming that her words were accurate.

Su Jin wanted the Imperial Physician’s nod of approval, just in case the treatment of the Heir of Duke Chong went wrong. The Empress Dowager would definitely not let her go, which is why she didn’t listen to the Imperial Physician first. It’s better for these words to come from her mouth, with the Imperial Physician verifying them.

Coming across someone as difficult and untouchable as the Empress Dowager, one can only be cautious like sailing a ship for ten thousand years.

After Su Jin finished, the Imperial Physician quickly asked, "In your view, how long will it take for the Heir’s leg to recover?"

"About two months," Su Jin replied casually.

The Imperial Physician gasped.

His face showed an expression of disbelief.

Even with half a year, they couldn’t guarantee that the Heir of Duke Chong would stand up.

Two months, is it really possible?

Healing bones and sinews takes a hundred days.

Su Jin finished her treatment, and Xingxing had a maid bring water and soap for Su Jin to wash her hands.

After washing her hands, she began to write prescriptions.

Two prescriptions.

One for medicine to be taken.

One for acupuncture treatment.

After handing the prescriptions to the Imperial Physician, Su Jin said, "I’ll prepare an ointment and send it over for daily application."

The Imperial Physician, after seeing the prescriptions, was filled with utmost admiration for Su Jin’s medical skills.

The Duchess had nothing to say.

Su Jin rose and said, "I’ll waive the fee for the prescriptions on account of my elder brother."

"How can that be, what’s owed should be paid," Su Chong said.

"I won’t charge for the prescriptions, I have to give face to my brother, but the ointment will be ten thousand taels," Su Jin said.

"...."

The brother and sister bantered, nearly driving the Duchess of Duke Chong’s Mansion to madness.

Just a few days ago, they sent twenty thousand taels to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, and now treating the leg is another twenty thousand taels.

What true bandits!

They eat people without spitting out the bones!

Su Jin only mentioned charging ten thousand taels, but she didn’t collect it immediately, after all, the ointment hadn’t been delivered yet.

It’s fine to pay after the Heir of Duke Chong uses it; Su Jin was confident enough in the ointment not to worry about the Duke Chong’s Mansion not paying up.

The steward of Duke Chong’s Mansion escorted Su Jin and the others to the door.

Su Chong walked with them.

However, Dongxiang Marquis Mansion and Prince Zhenbei Mansion are not on the same route.

If it weren’t already late, Su Jin intended to make a trip to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, after all, it was nearby.

Seeing Su Chong walking with them, Su Jin said, "Brother, you don’t have to see us off, I’ll visit Marquis Mansion to see our parents in a couple of days."

"It’s fine, I have nothing else to do," Su Chong said.

Su Jin wanted to persuade him again.

Xie Jingchen intervened, "Your brother is going to Prince Yun Mansion, it’s on the way."

Su Jin, "...."

Su Chong, "...."

Cough cough!

How did he see through that he was going to Prince Yun Mansion?

Did he show it that obviously?

"Yangyang has been staying at Prince Yun Mansion for a few days, I’m going to see him," Su Chong said.

Su Jin looked at Su Chong.

Brother.

Do you think your sister can be so easily fooled?

"Well, I’ll be off then," Su Chong rode off on his horse.

With a thin skin, he couldn’t withstand the probing look from Su Jin.

After Su Chong left, Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen, "How did you figure out my brother was going to Prince Yun Mansion?"

Xie Jingchen pulled Su Jin into his arms.

Su Jin struggled a bit, and Xie Jingchen said, "Your brother looked at his shoes when he left Duke Chong’s Mansion."

Su Jin, "...."

Just from that, he concluded her brother was going to Prince Yun Mansion?

Such keen observation and accurate guessing.

But indeed, her brother wasn’t someone who cared much about attire. Ignoring the brocade robe and looking at the shoes, it was most likely related to Princess Fu Yun.

Couple that with the direction, it wasn’t hard to guess he was headed to Prince Yun Mansion.

Su Jin sat in Xie Jingchen’s embrace, as Xie Jingchen gently touched Su Jin’s hands, soft and delicate, like boneless.

As he touched a few more times, his breathing became heavy.

The warm breath tickled Su Jin’s neck, making it itch.

Something hard as iron pressed tightly against her.

Xie Jingchen kissed Su Jin’s neck, his voice as rich as wine, asking with restraint, "Has the pestilence in the mansion been resolved?"

Su Jin, "...."

Su Jin shrank her neck.

The sudden consummation that day almost took half her life.

She felt a bit resistant inside and used the pestilence outbreak as an excuse to refuse Xie Jingchen, avoiding his torments.

Even though Xie Jingchen was eager, he could only restrain himself. If anyone else caught the pestilence and Su Jin couldn’t get out of bed, what then?

If that happened, he would be called to be reprimanded by the Prince.

But after so many days, the maid with pestilence nearly recovered, and no one else caught it. Su Jin couldn’t keep refusing him.

Su Jin didn’t say a word, taking it as silent consent.

But!

She didn’t expect this beast couldn’t wait until they got home and acted in the carriage...

Su Jin, with her thin skin, definitely wouldn’t agree, but with the Hidden Guard driving the carriage, she didn’t dare shout, allowing him to succeed.

If not for the tightly tied curtains that couldn’t be moved by the wind, Su Jin would have turned her head to bite him.

This was definitely a revenge on her!

Just because she didn’t let him have ’meat’ for ten days after starting on this ’diet,’ he took revenge?

Sly!

Scoundrel!

Never sharing a carriage with him again!

The bustling street was filled with shouting, and with Su Jin holding back, the Hidden Guard didn’t notice, but once they passed the busy street, a bit calmer, the Hidden Guard’s face turned red.

Arriving in front of Prince Zhenbei Mansion, the activity hadn’t stopped, and the Hidden Guard silently drove the carriage forward.

Xingxing, sitting in the carriage behind, lifted the curtain and shouted, "Haven’t we arrived? Why aren’t we stopping?"

No one responded to her.

Not knowing where her mistress wanted to go, Xingxing could only follow.

Prince Zhenbei Mansion’s servant, "...."

They reached the doorstep but didn’t enter, what could be wrong?

The road ahead wasn’t smooth, with a slab protruding, and as the carriage bumped over it, Su Jin couldn’t help but make a sound.

The sound made Su Jin’s face turn red as she lay limply in Xie Jingchen’s arms.

The Hidden Guard drove around two streets, then halted in front of the mansion gate.

Xingxing got off the carriage, glaring at the Hidden Guard.

She thought the Hidden Guard had eye issues; otherwise, why would he knowingly drive in circles, angering her mistress?

Driving anywhere else was fine, she wouldn’t realize, but going around the mansion door, was he taking people for fools?

The Hidden Guard felt wronged.

Was it his love for detours or simply having no choice?

Xie Jingchen alighted and supported Su Jin down.

Su Jin glared at Xie Jingchen with wide eyes.

But with her cheeks flushed like a peach and seductive eyes, glaring at Xie Jingchen held no menace.

Xie Jingchen, having embraced her, didn’t let go and directly carried her inside.

Su Jin didn’t resist.

She was truly exhausted, and being carried prevented anyone from noticing the creases in her skirt.

The Prince happened to pass by, seeing them asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Twisted her ankle," Xie Jingchen said without blushing or panting.

Su Jin kept silent, only silently cursing Xie Jingchen in her mind.

Xingxing’s little eyebrows twisted.

Her mistress was fine when she got on the carriage at Duke Chong’s Mansion.

Could someone twist their ankle inside a carriage?
