After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 673: The Beam

Leading the bride into the mansion, stepping over the fire basin, crossing the horse saddle, and entering the main courtyard.

Su Chong’s biological father passed away, his biological mother is still alive, and his adoptive parents are also both present.

One gave the gift of life, the other gave the gift of raising him.

This made the seating on the high platform difficult, so seated were Old Duke Chong and Marquis Dongxiang.

Ever since the incident three years ago, Old Duke Chong retired from court affairs, handing all major and minor matters of Duke Chong’s Mansion to Duke Chong.

In these three years, sightings of Old Duke Chong have been few and far between.

Today at Su Chong’s wedding feast, Old Duke Chong’s most beloved eldest grandson getting married brought the old man great joy, and he insisted on coming out to see.

No one would refuse such a simple request from him.

But seeing an old general, who fought on the battlefield, bedridden for three years, now emaciated, was heart-wrenching.

Watching Su Chong and Princess Fu Yun bow to each other, Old Duke Chong’s eyes were moist, "Good, good...."

He uttered "good" twice.

Everyone’s eyes were on him.

Duke Chong’s expression shifted briefly, then he stood up, excited and joyful, "Father can speak now?"

Old Duke Chong didn’t respond to him.

Duke Chong felt a bit embarrassed and looked at Marquis Dongxiang, "Why did no one tell me that Old Duke can speak?!"

Marquis Dongxiang frowned at his tone of accusation.

The Duchess of Chong came over and said, "Old Duke spoke out of joy for Tingting’s marriage; this is also the first time I’ve heard Old Duke speak."

Duke Chong said nothing more, after all, the Duchess of Chong offered a way out, and if he kept pressing, it might sour the feast and Old Duke Chong might get upset.

At this moment, the master of ceremonies called out, "The ceremony is complete, escort to the bridal chamber!"

In the distance, Young Master Shen looked at Young Master Su, "Why is it called a bridal chamber?"

This question stumped Young Master Su.

He didn’t know why it was called a bridal chamber either.

Seeing people walk away, he reacted, "Let’s go quickly, let’s go quickly."

He darted through the crowd and ran towards the newlywed’s room, followed by Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince.

Miss Shen glanced around, but couldn’t see her two cousins.

She chased after them.

She was small and didn’t run fast, so her maid had to carry her to keep her from falling.

Miss Shen reached the bridal chamber and pushed the door open.

Looking around, there was no one in the room.

"Where are they?" Miss Shen was a bit scared. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She clearly saw them running in just now.

Just then, the sheets moved, and the Ninth Prince poked his head out, "Quick, find a place to hide."

Miss Shen wanted to squat under the table, but being alone scared her, so she ran to the Ninth Prince and crawled under the bed too.

"Why hide under the bed?" Miss Shen asked, puzzled.

"They’re going to tease the bridal chamber later," the Ninth Prince replied.

"How will they tease it?" Miss Shen asked.

"Set off firecrackers," the Ninth Prince said, then was dumbfounded, where are the firecrackers?

"I’m scared," Miss Shen wanted to crawl out.

Just then, footsteps approached.

The Ninth Prince held her back, "Don’t be scared; we ran too fast and forgot to grab the firecrackers."

The Ninth Prince, "...."

Miss Shen happily nodded, she wanted to speak.

"Shh, don’t talk," the Ninth Prince stopped her.

Miss Shen quickly covered her mouth, not letting a sound come out.

Outside, voices could be heard; Prince NanAn and the others came and took Su Chong away, "First, go drink."

Only Princess Fu Yun entered, supported by the wedding maid, and sat on the bed.

This sitting lasted more than half an hour.

Under the bed, the Ninth Prince and Miss Shen were having a hard time.

Nobody told them that teasing the bridal chamber would take so long; their arms were sore from lying down.

The Ninth Prince shifted, and Miss Shen shifted along.

Princess Fu Yun, with the weight of the heavy phoenix crown, was also getting uncomfortable; she moved slightly, and the dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds on the bed made a clattering sound.

A longan fell off the bed.

A small hand quickly reached out and grabbed the longan.

So hungry.

Originally thought that after teasing the bridal chamber they could go eat; now, who knows how much longer it will be.

The Ninth Prince peeled the longan, ready to pop it in his mouth, when he glanced at Miss Shen looking at him.

A pair of shiny black eyes, a round, slightly chubby face, extremely adorable.

"You have it," the Ninth Prince handed it to Miss Shen.

Miss Shen opened her mouth, and the Ninth Prince put the longan in; she smiled with satisfaction, "It’s so tasty."

Spitting out the longan seed, Miss Shen longingly said, "I want more."

The Ninth Prince wanted some too.

But crawling out would expose them.

"Just hold on; I’ll get you more later," the Ninth Prince said.

Miss Shen obediently endured.

Not wanting to spoil their plan, otherwise, they wouldn’t include her in future games.

They lay there for half a day more.

Miss Shen had already fallen asleep lying down.

The Ninth Prince touched the satin on the floor, wondering if just one thin layer of gauze would make her cold if she slept a while.

He shifted, covering Miss Shen with his part of the thin gauze, then continued lying down.

Finally, Young Master Su arrived.

Unveiling, drinking mutual-goblet wine, eating raw dumplings...

Once the wedding maid left, Su Chong sat back on the bed, ready to kiss Princess Fu Yun.

Princess Fu Yun blushed red, one hand blocking Su Chong, the other pointing under the bed.

There were people hiding under the bed!

Su Chong patted the bed, "Come out!"

The Ninth Prince was startled; how did they get caught?

Was it because he knocked his head on the bed board too loudly earlier?

The Ninth Prince crawled out from under the bed.

Su Chong saw it was him and said, "Where are the other two?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head.

Su Chong’s eyes scanned the room, "I know where you are, come out."

Hiding in the wardrobe, Young Master Shen was also starting to struggle and, feeling guilty, came out on his own.

Only Young Master Su was left.

Su Chong called out a couple of times, but no one responded.

He knew his little brother was the most stubborn.

Su Chong searched the room for a while, then asked the Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen, "Where’s Yangyang?"

"He...,"

Young Master Shen said a word, and the Ninth Prince took Young Master Shen away, "He said you could dig three feet into the ground and you wouldn’t find him."

The two ran out, shutting the door behind them.

Su Chong didn’t find Young Master Su in the room, pondering what "digging three feet" could mean.

He sat back on the bed, Princess Fu Yun looked at him blushing, "Why aren’t you continuing the search?"

"He’s probably not in the room," Su Chong said.

Not in the room, even digging three feet deep, he wouldn’t find him.

His brother never played by the rules; if he thought he was in the room, he wouldn’t be.

Princess Fu Yun felt he was right; Su Chong looked at her and quickly kissed her on the cheek.

Princess Fu Yun’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt.

Su Chong went to kiss her again when an urgent voice cried out, "Ah! I’m still here! I want to come out!"

The voice came from the beam.

Young Master Su clung to the beam, refusing to let go.

Su Chong, "...."

Princess Fu Yun, "...."
