After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 651: Birthmark

Princess Fu Yun’s face showed a trace of concern as she held Nie Yao’s hand and said, "I’ll go with you."

Princess Shouning must be looking for Nie Yao because of Prince NanAn, she was uneasy.

Before Nie Yao could speak, the palace maid said, "The Princess only invited Miss Nie."

Nie Yao shook her head at Princess Fu Yun, "It’s okay, I’ll be back shortly."

The palace maid led the way in front, and Nie Yao followed behind towards the Lotus Pond.

With a maid following, Princess Fu Yun felt somewhat relieved.

But when they reached the edge of the Lotus Pond, after the boat docked, Princess Shouning only allowed Nie Yao to board the boat alone.

Nie Yao didn’t dare to refuse and could only brace herself to go in.

Inside the boat, Princess Shouning leaned against the window, looking somewhat impatient.

She wasn’t someone with patience.

Ever since she found out Nie Yao was the fiancée of Prince NanAn, she wanted to summon Nie Yao to the palace.

However, she was under house arrest and could only suppress this idea.

Fortunately, Consort Li was hosting a banquet, which gave her an excuse to leave her chamber.

After Nie Yao boarded the boat, she paid her respects to Princess Shouning.

The palace maid rowed the boat further away to prevent their conversation from being overheard.

Some noble ladies watched Nie Yao board the boat, beginning to whisper among themselves.

Inside the boat, Princess Shouning scrutinized Nie Yao from head to toe, and then from toe to head.

She hadn’t seen Nie Yao many times, but she had never looked so thoroughly before.

Her looks weren’t bad, not much worse than hers.

"The copper boots that Prince NanAn used to break the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg, were they given to him by you?" Princess Shouning asked.

Nie Yao guessed it was about Prince NanAn and nodded slightly.

Everyone knew about it, denial would be futile.

Princess Shouning got angry.

Did Prince NanAn have no shoes to wear?!

Even going out in copper boots!

He must have been led astray by the Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion!

One wore shabby shoes, embarrassing himself even in front of Beimo, yet the Emperor did not blame him, even rewarded him with shoes.

One wore copper boots and broke the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg.

Princess Shouning looked at Nie Yao and said, "Do you know what the consequences are for breaking the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg?"

Nie Yao didn’t speak.

She knew Duke Chong’s Mansion wouldn’t just let this go.

She hadn’t expected Prince NanAn to actually wear the copper boots to avoid breaking off the engagement.

What she thought was a test brought about such a disaster.

Nie Yao wore a face of reproach.

Princess Shouning couldn’t stand seeing her like this, since the trouble is already caused, self-blame is just useless.

Although she didn’t like the Heir of Duke Chong, she was aware of his vengeful nature, knowing that Prince NanAn breaking his leg would make him retaliate unscrupulously.

Now only she could help Prince NanAn.

Princess Shouning looked at Nie Yao and said, "If you truly care for Prince NanAn, you should break off your engagement with him."

"If he marries me now, neither Duke Chong’s Mansion nor the Heir of Duke Chong would dare to touch him."

Although Princess Shouning had her own ulterior motives, there was no denying the truth in her words.

But if she thought finding Nie Yao would help Prince NanAn and fulfill her wishes, then she was looking for the wrong person.

Nie Yao didn’t want to break off the engagement, if it weren’t for wanting to break it off, this situation wouldn’t have arisen.

The engagement was arranged by her grandfather, Marquis Yangnan, and she couldn’t choose otherwise.

Moreover, the Prince NanAn Mansion was initially afraid the Empress Dowager would decree a marriage, so they hastily set her up; presumably, the Prince NanAn Mansion wasn’t eager to welcome Princess Shouning either.

She couldn’t persuade her grandfather, nor the Prince NanAn Mansion.

What good would it do for her to promise Princess Shouning?

Besides, in her heart of hearts, she didn’t want to agree.

Nie Yao remained silent, making Princess Shouning even more furious.

If she truly liked Prince NanAn, shouldn’t she prioritize Prince NanAn’s safety?!

The palace maid saw Princess Shouning was both angry and embarrassed, offering a way out, "Princess, marriage is under the command of the parents and the agreement of the matchmakers; Miss Nie can’t decide on her own."

Princess Shouning suppressed her anger.

What could she do if she didn’t suppress it, could she, a princess, use her power to oppress someone?

Even if she could convince Nie Yao, she couldn’t convince her mother.

In front of the Empress Dowager and Duke Chong, her mother’s words carried little weight!

Thinking about how she, a lofty princess, still needed the approval of the Empress Dowager and Duke Chong for her engagement, made her feel disgraced.

Her life as a princess was truly less free than that of a female bandit!

The boat felt stuffy, and she went outside, Nie Yao could only accompany her.

By accompanying, something went wrong.

Princess Shouning "accidentally" sprained her ankle and fell into the lake.

Standing beside her, Nie Yao was bound to pull her, but just as she reached out, Princess Shouning steadied herself and pushed her into the lake.

However, Nie Yao wasn’t weak either. She promptly reached out and pulled Princess Shouning down with her.

Splash.

Both fell into the water.

Not far from the boat, there was another boat.

Princess Fu Yun was worried, feeling restless. Su Jin saw another boat by the Lotus Pond and suggested they sit on it.

That boat had long been watched, but since Princess Shouning and Nie Yao were talking in the middle of the Lotus Pond and didn’t want to be disturbed, they dared not upset Princess Shouning.

But Su Jin didn’t need to consider as much.

After all, she and Princess Shouning were arch-enemies.

Just as the boat came a bit closer, Princess Shouning and Nie Yao fell into the water.

Su Jin, "...."

What could be done? One definitely couldn’t pretend not to see.

At the foot of Qingyun Mountain was water, and it was while boating on the lake, she happened to save the Emperor.

If the rescuers for Princess Shouning were late, she would have to save them.

Su Jin leaped and jumped into the Lotus Pond, swimming towards Nie Yao and the others.

Since there were two people, Su Jin could only save one.

Xingxing also jumped in.

Su Jin saved Nie Yao.

Xingxing saved Princess Shouning.

A crowd gathered on the shore, palace maidens, eunuchs, and those noble ladies...

Also, the Empress and Consort Li, who hurriedly came upon learning that Princess Shouning had fallen into the water.

They surrounded the shore tightly.

Su Jin swam ashore, and the palace maids reached out to pull Nie Yao up. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xingxing came over, and Princess Shouning was pulled up.

Nie Yao was fine, but Princess Shouning only had a breath left.

Su Jin tried to climb ashore, and the palace maid pulled her.

However, her skirt accidentally caught on the stone by the lake.

The palace maid tugged—

Rip sound.

The skirt was torn in half.

Although it was the outer dress, it was still quite embarrassing.

Luckily, today’s palace banquet only invited women, no men were invited, otherwise...

Seems there wouldn’t be much of an otherwise anyway.

She, who openly snatched men in the street, cared little about reputation.

Su Jin calmly let the palace maid pull her onto the shore.

Consort Li quickly ordered the palace maid, "Bring a cloak."

Climbing out from the lake and feeling the wind, was quite refreshing.

Soon, the palace maid brought over a cloak, and Su Jin took off the other half of her skirt and wrapped it with the cloak.

As she was taking off her skirt, Nanny Zhou noticed a birthmark on Su Jin’s arm that looked like a gourd.

Nanny Zhou’s heart was startled.

That birthmark...

But when she tried to look more closely, Su Jin had already wrapped herself tightly in the cloak, and Consort Li asked her daughter, Princess Shuning, to lead Su Jin to change into her dress.

Nanny Zhou just watched as Su Jin walked away.

The palace maid called twice without response and gave a nudge, "Nanny Zhou?"
