After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 646: Deception

Su Jin was quite satisfied with her appearance.

She looked at Xingxing, "Where’s the young master?"

"The young master is in the backyard," Xingxing quickly replied.

"Do you want to show him?"

"I’ll go call him," Xingxing was about to leave in a hurry.

Su Jin quickly said, "Don’t go, we’ll sneak away for a visit later."

Xingxing, "..."

"Why?" Xingxing was puzzled.

"No reason, just find him annoying," Su Jin said.

"..."

The young master, who was just found annoying, happened to step into the room and heard this.

Of course.

It wasn’t just Xie Jingchen who heard this, but also the two maids carrying dishes behind him.

The two maids’ mouths twitched, the heir’s wife just openly said that she found the young master annoying, indeed, she’s the heir’s wife, unafraid of falling out of favor. Anyone else wouldn’t dare say that!

Speaking of falling out of favor—

It’s clear now that the young master has fallen out of favor.

The heir’s wife isn’t an ordinary noble lady.

She found the young master pleasing, so she took him away.

If she disliked the young master, would she go out and grab someone else?

Xie Jingchen pushed aside the bead curtain and entered the room, asking, "What do you find annoying about me?"

Su Jin rolled her eyes at him.

Isn’t it obvious?

From head to toe, of course.

Although Xie Jingchen got up early and it was late, he hadn’t had breakfast yet.

The maid brought in the dishes, silently set them up, and then retreated.

Throughout breakfast, Su Jin didn’t speak a word to Xie Jingchen.

Xingxing was anxious.

She was dying to know how the young master managed to upset the lady.

When her lady was angry, she wasn’t easy to appease.

After breakfast, Su Jin prepared to visit her family.

Xie Jingchen accompanied her.

After leaving the Prince Mansion, Su Jin got on the carriage, and when Xie Jingchen wanted to join, Su Jin wouldn’t allow it.

She held the carriage door, saying, "Xingxing, come up."

Xingxing, "..."

Xie Jingchen, "..."

Xingxing didn’t dare move.

Although she used to ride with the lady, ever since the young master took over the carriage, if he was there, there was no room for her.

Su Jin glared at Xingxing, "Hurry up."

What could Xingxing do?

She could only scramble onto the carriage.

But she barely got on when the Hidden Guard pulled her off.

The Hidden Guard was apprehensive.

He still hadn’t figured out how he had upset the heir’s wife’s maid.

He really didn’t want to provoke the maid.

Yet, the young master had signaled to him, and he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t seen it.

After setting Xingxing down, Xie Jingchen hopped on the carriage.

Su Jin turned to enter the carriage, but couldn’t find another spot to get off.

When Xie Jingchen got in the carriage, the Hidden Guard took the reins, snapped the whip, and set off.

The force wasn’t controlled well, it was too strong, and as the horse bolted forward, Su Jin was thrown forward, securely caught by Xie Jingchen.

As the carriage rolled away, Xingxing’s eyes were blazing.

The coachman drove another carriage over, and Xingxing climbed in.

Watching the two carriages fade into the distance and recalling what had just happened.

The gate servants exchanged glances.

Something seemed off just now.

It seemed like the heir’s wife and the young master had a falling out.

In the past, their relationship was inseparable, sweet as honey, in and out, their hands seemed glued together and couldn’t be pried apart.

Especially when the heir’s wife twisted her ankle yesterday, it was the young master who carried her into the mansion.

How did things change so drastically in just half a day?

"Could it be that the heir’s wife is angry and going to visit her family?" one servant whispered.

"Seems like it," another servant replied.

"Then why is the young master going along? Isn’t he afraid of getting beaten by people from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion?"

"You don’t get it, if he doesn’t go, it’ll be worse. Once you’ve married, you’ll understand," the servant spoke with an air of experience.

Whish.

A sharp sword was thrust into the servant’s chest.

His face instantly soured.

So he just married a new wife, what’s the big deal?!

He’ll get married, too, next chance he gets!

Inside the carriage, Su Jin struggled, but couldn’t break free.

She didn’t want to share the carriage with him at all, she was deeply apprehensive!

But with her limited strength, it was hopeless to break free from Xie Jingchen’s grasp, especially as she couldn’t move her hands to reach for the silver needle.

Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jin and said, "You really plan to ignore me?"

"What’s good about paying attention to you?" Su Jin gritted her teeth.

"..."

"We’ve shown off our love for so long, are you going to let it all go to waste?" Xie Jingchen asked.

Su Jin ignored him.

Things have changed.

Back then, she was a bandit from Qingyun Mountain, detested by everyone. Now, Qingyun Mountain has turned over a new leaf, not only not bandits but part of the Flying Tiger Army. Who would dare treat her like a bandit now or throw rotten eggs at her?

Even if they had the courage, they wouldn’t dare.

Now, she could completely discard what was no longer useful and burn bridges if she wanted.

Su Jin’s response was written all over her face, Xie Jingchen was amused and exasperated, "What about Dongxiang Marquis Mansion?"

"If you ignore me like this, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law will definitely ask the reason," Xie Jingchen said.

"If they ask, how can I, the son-in-law, dare to lie?"

"..."

"Shameless!"

Su Jin glared at him, she didn’t believe he would even dare to say it out loud.

But looking at Xie Jingchen’s gaze at her, Su Jin conceded.

This matter didn’t even need to be explicitly said, just a simple "We overslept, which delayed the morning visit" was enough.

Or add in "She tried to poison me last night, failed to knock me out, and got angry."

Both statements were true.

Even if Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang loved their daughter, they wouldn’t interfere.

Su Jin admitted defeat.

Xie Jingchen held her, caressing Su Jin’s hand, her delicate fingers like white scallions, making them irresistibly lovely.

The carriage rumbled forward.

After about half an hour, they stopped in front of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

Xie Jingchen climbed out of the carriage and saw an old, shabby carriage opposite.

From the carriage emerged an elderly woman, about forty-seven or forty-eight.

She saw Su Jin and was very excited.

However, Su Jin remained calm.

With no memory, she had no idea who this elderly woman was.

Xingxing got off the carriage and upon seeing the old woman, happily said, "Mrs. Jiang, what brings you to the Capital City?"

Xingxing ran to Mrs. Jiang’s side and supported her.

Xie Jingchen helped Su Jin off the carriage.

Xingxing helped Mrs. Jiang over and introduced her, "This is the young master."

Mrs. Jiang greeted Xie Jingchen, then praised Su Jin, "In just a few months, the lady has become even more beautiful."

Xingxing remembered that Su Jin didn’t recognize Mrs. Jiang, she said, "Lady, this is the Mrs. Jiang I’ve mentioned to you. Because of her painful leg, she couldn’t join us in coming to the Capital City, so she stayed at Qingyun Mountain."

After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "The lady is amazing now, highly skilled in medicine, and can even treat chronic leg pain. The lady will surely cure your leg, Mrs. Jiang."

Xingxing had mentioned Mrs. Jiang to Su Jin before.

She was Mrs. Tang’s most trusted person.

Mrs. Jiang smiled, "The Marquis sent someone to fetch me to the Capital, saying to treat my leg. I thought they’d find a skillful doctor from the Capital City, but it’s the lady, that’s really too much for me."

Su Jin returned her smile, "It’s hot, let’s discuss this inside."

Xingxing supported Mrs. Jiang into the mansion.

After entering, it wasn’t long before Mrs. Tang hurried out to greet them.

She walked quickly, but it was obvious she wasn’t there to greet her daughter, nor her son-in-law Xie Jingchen, but Mrs. Jiang.
