After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 674 Reward Collection

Su Chong’s face turned red as he stood up and glared at Young Master Su, "How did you get on the beam?!"

"I stepped on a stool, and they pulled me up," Young Master Su replied honestly.

If you’re not on the ground, it’s naturally hard to find you even if they dig three feet deep.

"I can’t get down," Young Master Su said anxiously.

Su Chong extended his arm, "Jump down."

"Big brother, you better catch me," Young Master Su said.

With a leap, Young Master Su was caught by Su Chong.

Carrying Young Master Su to the door, he opened it, tossed him out, and then closed the door. The movement was as smooth as flowing clouds.

Young Master Su was in a miserable state.

He lay sprawled on the ground.

The fall made him grimace in pain.

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince ran over to help him up, "How did you also get exposed?"

"I just couldn’t stay there anymore," Young Master Su said.

"Had I known the bridal chamber pranking was so dull, I would’ve just gone to eat at the banquet."

Originally, they were planning to use firecrackers to prank the bridal chamber, but as everyone relied on the other, no one brought any.

Young Master Su dusted off the dirt from his body, ready to head to eat.

Leaving the courtyard, Young Master Su asked, "Where’s little cousin?"

"Oh no, she’s still asleep under the bed," the Ninth Prince said.

"... ."

Inside the room.

After driving away the three little troublemakers, Su Chong was at ease to consummate the marriage.

He carried Princess Fu Yun to the bed.

Just as they kissed, there was a pounding knock on the door, "Big brother, big brother, quickly throw out little cousin too."

"Little cousin is here too?!" Su Chong’s voice wavered a bit.

"Where is she?!"

"Under the bed."

Su Chong lifted the bedsheet and found little cousin sleeping soundly.

Su Chong’s face was full of black lines.

To consummate the marriage, he had to pass through so many hurdles.

He pulled little cousin out from under the bed and handed her over to the maid.

Returning, Su Chong was now psychologically shadowed.

The underside of the table, the cabinets, the ceiling...

He checked every conceivable hiding place, ensuring no one was there, before feeling at ease.

Feigning drunkenness, Su Chong returned to his room early, while the banquet in the front courtyard hadn’t yet ended.

Prince NanAn and others kept Su Chong company while drinking; they were all good drinkers, and no one knew how many they had knocked down.

After a quarter of an hour, the banquet was nearly over.

If it dragged on any longer, those attending officials and madams wouldn’t have returned to their mansions before the curfew.

Everyone began saying their goodbyes to Marquis Dongxiang.

The Prince and Princess Consort returned to their mansion, but Su Jin was reluctant to leave, looking at Xie Jingchen, "Can we stay at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion for the night and return tomorrow?"

Xie Jingchen, "...."

This woman is really something.

At the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, she never sought his opinion like this.

At Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, she asked him in front of her parents.

Could he say no?

If he dared to say so, he might be thrown out by the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion people.

"As you wish," Xie Jingchen said gently.

"...."

Su Jin got goosebumps all over her body.

A day of joy, couldn’t they just nod properly!

The Prince and Princess Consort had no objections to Su Jin and Xie Jingchen staying over at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

As long as it’s safe, it didn’t matter where they stayed; they didn’t have the custom of forbidding staying at their mother’s home after marriage.

Then—

Su Jin didn’t go back.

Xingxing was the happiest, thinking that once her lady got married, there’d be no more chances to stay at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

Receiving guests was slow, but sending them off was quick.

In no more than a quarter of an hour, the lively Dongxiang Marquis Mansion quieted down as maids and servants tidied up after the banquet.

Mrs. Tang, tired and rubbing her shoulders, thought if she was this exhausted, how much more would the Duchess of Chong be.

"Sister-in-law, you’ve had a long day, you should rest first. Leave the rest to Steward Lin," Mrs. Tang said.

The Duchess of Chong couldn’t hold on any longer either.

She needed to rest early tonight, as her daughter-in-law would serve tea tomorrow, and she couldn’t be late.

Duke Chong’s Mansion was big. Although Su Jin decided last minute to stay at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, a place was already prepared for her.

Fearing that someday Su Jin might return for a short stay, the courtyard was kept very clean, equipped with everything she might need.

After a hot bath, Su Jin went to bed.

Knowing she was tired and considering it was at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Xie Jingchen did not bother her.

She had a good night’s sleep.

The next day, Su Jin was refreshed and lively.

After washing up, she went to the main hall.

Old Duke Chong and others were already there, waiting for Su Chong to lead Princess Fu Yun over to serve tea.

They were a bit late, especially Princess Fu Yun. Knowing her timidness, which Su Jin had long known, her blushing face made people suspect she’d overturned a rouge box on it.

The tea ceremony at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion wasn’t as lengthy as when Su Jin did hers. After the tea was served, gifts were given.

The family was happy and cheerful.

But just serving tea to Marquis Dongxiang wasn’t enough; they still had to acknowledge the ancestors, the entire Duke Chong’s Mansion family and certainly the Jibei Marquis Mansion too.

This whole day would keep Su Chong and Princess Fu Yun busy.

Su Jin didn’t stay long since she had been at the Marquis Mansion for a night. After breakfast and about half an hour’s stay, she and Xie Jingchen took a carriage back.

However, Su Jin and Xie Jingchen couldn’t have guessed how coincidental their return journey would be, as if it was destined by the heavens.

As the carriage arrived at Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Su Jin lifted the curtain to look outside and happened to see a maid pulling an old man along.

The maid was Hong Ying, and Su Jin had some impression of the elder too.

When a group came to the Prince Mansion to fish in troubled waters, the elder watched from afar, and when his gaze met hers, he immediately turned away and left.

How could such an elder end up with Princess Nanzhang’s maid?

Su Jin found it a bit unusual.

She looked a few more times, noticing Hong Ying was walking fast with a quick and disorderly pace, and the elder seemed to struggle to keep up.

"What’s wrong?" Xie Jingchen asked.

"That elder had been to the entrance of the Prince Mansion before; he must have some business," Su Jin said.

Xie Jingchen glanced over and instructed the Hidden Guard, "Bring that elder here."

Su Jin felt there was something up. How could it be nothing when Princess Nanzhang’s maid was dragging that elder away?

The Hidden Guard went over to intercept them.

Hong Ying wouldn’t allow it.

The Hidden Guard looked at the elder, "Why are you here at Prince Zhenbei Mansion?"

"I, I came for the reward, the notice posted, I, I know," the elder said, his voice trembling.

The Hidden Guard’s body shook.

Prince Zhenbei Mansion had only posted one notice, regarding the investigation of the false Old Madam’s case.

So many days had passed, many came, yet none had useful information.

Could this elder really know?

That man surely couldn’t be let off with Princess Nanzhang’s maid.

The Hidden Guard invited the elder to go with him, while Hong Ying angrily said, "I found this person first."

"Do you want to reason with me?" The Hidden Guard’s face turned stern, emitting a killing aura. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Hong Ying instantly cowered.

Watching the Hidden Guard take the elder away, Hong Ying stomped her foot in anger.

How could it be so unlucky to run into the Young Master and Heir’s wife returning from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion?

Feeling uneasy, Hong Ying hurried back into the mansion through the side door and rushed to Peony Garden to report to Princess Nanzhang.

Inside the room, Princess Nanzhang was having tea.

Hong Ying rushed in, "Commandery Princess, the maid just met an elder at the entrance, who was asking about the reward notice. He said he knew where the Old Madam’s remains were buried."
