After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 688: Premonition

Ouch!

My dear Ninth Prince.

You need to be more perceptive. Don’t rub salt into the Emperor’s wounds.

Eunuch Fu feels sorry for the Emperor.

The Emperor’s heart is truly troubled.

His own son hadn’t stayed long at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

He got beaten black and blue, yet he was reluctant to leave.

The Princess Consort Zhenbei is the beloved daughter raised delicately by the Marquis Dongxiang since childhood, she probably cares even less about him as her father.

The Emperor felt like a massive stone was pressed against his chest by his own son, heavy and suffocating.

He stepped out of the mansion.

The guards knelt to see the Emperor off, running into the Emperor’s fury, "Get lost, all of you!"

The guards were silent.

The guards were arranged by Duke Chong to guard the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, but with the Emperor’s anger, they didn’t dare to ignore his words.

They immediately retreated at the fastest speed.

The Emperor got onto the Imperial Chariot, glanced at the grand entrance of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, neither Marquis Dongxiang nor Mrs. Tang appeared, let alone Su Jin.

Still, there was someone to see him off.

Little Black stood inside the gate, covered in mud from who knows where, dirty, wagging its tail, staring at the Emperor without blinking.

Eunuch Fu tenderly announced, "Head back to the palace!"

When the Emperor left, Su Jin was still sleeping soundly.

She stayed up late last night concocting the antidote for Old Duke Chong, mentally exhausted and thoroughly fatigued.

Slept late but woke up early, probably because it was a different bed, she simply got up for breakfast.

Took a stroll and then felt sleepy again, so she lay back down.

Having been busy beating up the Ninth Prince, Young Master Su missed witnessing his own father pummeling the Emperor.

Three ladders were placed against the wall outside the training ground. Almost every day, Young Master Su would bring the Ninth Prince and others to watch blood-curdling fights that even he found hard to stomach.

But today, the ladder was prepared for Xingxing.

Crouched on the ladder, she watched the events unfold, and only after the Emperor left did Xingxing rush back inside.

At that time, Su Jin was still asleep, and Xingxing, unable to contain herself, reached out her mischievous hands towards her own lady.

"Miss, wake up," Xingxing shook Su Jin.

Su Jin was sleeping soundly, and with this shaking, her sweet dream was shattered.

She opened her eyes, looked at Xingxing, and asked, "Why are you waking me?"

"The Emperor is going to title you as a princess," Xingxing quickly replied.

A shiver jolted through Su Jin, making her wide awake yet more bewildered.

Is this a joke?

She accidentally blinded Old Madam Duke Chong in one eye, Duke Chong couldn’t wait to get rid of her, even surrounded Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, prohibiting her father from attending court, yet the Emperor wants to make her a princess?

"Am I still dreaming, not fully awake?" Su Jin asked.

Xingxing reached out and pinched Su Jin’s cheek.

Though it didn’t hurt, the sensation was undeniable.

She wasn’t dreaming.

Xingxing grinned widely, "But Marquis doesn’t agree."

Su Jin was speechless.

Su Jin was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t her father eager for the Emperor to make her a princess?

Why is it that now that the Emperor wants to title her, he won’t agree?

Su Jin recalled what her father, Marquis Dongxiang, said at the Great Buddha Temple, "Now if you want to become a princess, I won’t agree."

Just as she thought of it, Xingxing confirmed she wasn’t wrong, "Marquis is always like this, prefers things he has to fight for, doesn’t care for things brought to his door."

Su Jin was speechless.

"Then why would the Emperor bring it to the door?" Su Jin sensed something unusual.

What had she missed during this nap?

"Because the Emperor is your real father," Xingxing cheerfully replied.

"...."

Su Jin’s eyes widened instantly.

Real father?

The Emperor is her real father?

Though she had harbored such suspicions when Su Chong’s lineage was exposed, she never believed it would be true.

Unexpected!

She too, like her elder brother, was actually picked up!

For others, upon finding out they were not biological, with a biological father coming to claim them, it would certainly be sorrowful.

But Su Jin isn’t really Su Jin.

Moreover, since her elder brother Su Chong had already gone through it, even after acknowledging their original family, his feelings for Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang hadn’t changed, only gained more relatives.

Besides, having the Emperor title Su Jin as a princess was Xingxing’s persistent wish, also the hope of her Marquis and Madam.

Regardless, as a princess, she would still be the daughter of the Marquis and Madam, without any estrangement.

Xingxing didn’t find it serious, but Su Jin felt very different.

She felt for Marquis Dongxiang, and for Mrs. Tang too.

The carefully raised son wasn’t their own.

The beloved daughter wasn’t either.

For the sake of a dying brother’s last wish, enduring for years at Qingyun Mountain, even accidentally raising a princess, Su Jin thought it’d be hard to find anyone more admirable than Marquis Dongxiang in her lifetime.

But now, how would she face them?

Su Jin was troubled.

Speaking of Su Jin not being biological, the most upset would surely be Young Master Su.

After beating up the Ninth Prince, he went to hide and cry in the fake mountains.

He didn’t like the Capital City at all now.

Qingyun Mountain was better.

Elder brother was real.

Sister too, was real. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Upon entering the Capital, elder brother belonged to others, and sister too wasn’t his own.

Tears flowed rapidly from Young Master Su’s eyes.

He cried very rarely; even when beaten, he wouldn’t frown, but now he cried with true sorrow.

Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen stayed far away, not daring to approach.

Though young, they understood that men disliked being seen when they cried, for dignity’s sake.

Young Master Shen, unable to rest easy, went to fetch Su Chong.

Su Chong entered the fake mountains, "Crying?"

"Who’s crying?!"

"I just got sand in my eyes!" Young Master Su said defiantly.

Su Chong sat next to him and said, "Why didn’t you cry when you found out I wasn’t bio-born?"

"No one’s fighting for you," Young Master Su sniffed.

"...."

Swish.

A sharp blade stabbed straight into Su Chong’s heart.

Su Chong felt he needed comfort too.

The brothers were equally forlorn.

Su Chong not only went unclaimed.

Even his own mother stayed at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

The people of Duke Chong’s Mansion couldn’t wait for him to die sooner.

But Su Jin was different, her background barely revealed, and the Emperor had already come to acknowledge her as his daughter, with the Ninth Prince readily calling her sister.

His real sister became his cousin! He couldn’t accept it!

Su Chong didn’t know how to comfort Young Master Su, because he hadn’t even gotten the chance to assure him that even if the Emperor acknowledged Su Jin, she would still always be their sister, that fact would never change.

But Young Master Su’s concern suddenly changed, "Where did they pick me up from?"

Su Chong chuckled helplessly.

"Can’t you be biological?" Su Chong ruffled Young Master Su’s small head.

"I have a feeling I’m not biological," Young Master Su said sadly.

"I have a feeling too," Mr. Su nodded.

Young Master Su looked at his elder brother, tears streaming down.

Mr. Su looked at him, "I feel you’ll get spanked."
