After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 747 - 746 Cheap

Young Master Su was instantly rendered speechless.

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince silently curbed any protest as well.

Although they played together, their preferences were quite different.

On the street, it often happened that one would be in a shop, one at a stall, and the other playing ring toss.

On normal days, there weren’t many people on the streets, and it didn’t matter if they played individually. No one felt it necessary to accommodate others.

However, the Flower Lantern Festival attracted crowds, throngs of people were an understatement.

The three of them weren’t very tall, and once lost, would be hard to find again.

Mrs. Tang was still haunted by the incident of Young Master Su being knocked out and sold into the palace.

She tried her best to give them freedom within the limits of her ability, which was her maximum compromise.

Young Master Su accepted Mrs. Tang’s arrangement with a sullen expression.

What else could he do?

Refuse and not go to the lantern show to protest?

Such rebellion would be precisely what his mother wished for.

Fortunately, the chains weren’t heavy, and there was still some room to move.

For the sake of fairness, they agreed that each of them would decide where to play every half an hour.

On the street, these three little fellows chained together became quite a sight.

Young Master Su and his friends often went shopping, and many vendors began to recognize them.

Su Jin followed behind, and soon lost sight of the three of them.

She couldn’t help but admire Mrs. Tang; the chains were indeed necessary.

Finding people at the Festival of Lanterns could drive someone crazy.

Although the hour was still early, the streets were already bustling with heads surging, unprecedentedly lively.

The hustle and bustle were so intense that even the cries of the small vendors were unusually loud.

After a stroll down the street, a touch of sunset appeared in the sky.

The darker the sky got, the livelier the streets became, bright with lights.

The variety of lanterns was dazzling, illuminating the night as if it was day.

Su Jin chose a lantern, but feeling it too cumbersome halfway, gave it casually to a little girl.

The little girl was so delighted she kept calling her sister.

Su Jin stood at the head of White Jade Bridge, watching people release lotus lanterns for blessings.

The Hidden Guard wasn’t far away. With so many people on the street, extra caution was necessary to prevent any mishaps.

The most popular game at the Flower Lantern Festival was guessing lantern riddles.

Even in front of the Beauty Pavilion, a flower stage was set up.

A hundred lanterns in total, with one side bearing rewards and the other side posing riddles.

Guess right and you earn the reward.

The Beauty Pavilion’s prizes were items sold within the shop, categorized by difficulty.

As a result, a crowd eagerly gathered in front of the Beauty Pavilion to guess the riddles.

Su Jin didn’t join in the buzz of her own shop. Instead, she watched Xingxing and the Hidden Guard team up to eat buns.

Grouped in pairs.

One male, one female.

The winner was rewarded with twenty taels of silver.

Xingxing rarely spoke to the Hidden Guard unless the prize was worth it, "Do you want to participate?"

The Hidden Guard readily agreed.

Xingxing grabbed meat buns in both hands, stuffing them in her mouth while observing other competitors.

Su Jin felt this contest was tailor-made for Xingxing.

She loved meat buns, and with such a prize, it was indeed perfectly suited for Xingxing.

In terms of appetite, the Hidden Guard, being one who practiced martial arts, was not lacking compared to others.

Xingxing’s appetite was nothing a typical lady could rival.

Winning was without suspense.

After winning, Xingxing went to the shopkeeper to collect the silver.

The shopkeeper glanced at the Hidden Guard with a complex expression.

He really couldn’t figure out this young master’s thoughts, hosting a meat bun eating contest only to win back the twenty taels of silver. Wasn’t this a pointless exercise?

But for his shop, it was all benefit and no harm.

With the silver in hand, Xingxing gave ten taels to the Hidden Guard, "I didn’t take advantage of you."

Just now, eating buns, Xingxing didn’t lose to the Hidden Guard.

The Hidden Guard didn’t accept the silver, saying, "I like it when you take advantage of me."

Su Jin shivered.

She really couldn’t tell the Hidden Guard could be so sentimental.

However, his feelings were misplaced.

Xingxing completely missed the deeper meaning of his words, looking at the Hidden Guard as if he were foolish for turning down money.

Hidden Guard, "...."

Taking advantage of a fool didn’t sit well either, guilt is a burden.

Xingxing shoved the silver to the Hidden Guard, proudly taking the silver ingot to Su Jin to claim credit.

Such a small amount was insignificant to Su Jin, but to Xingxing, it was her well-earned victory.

These ten taels of silver would allow her to have a very happy lantern festival.

The master and servant walked on, with the Hidden Guard following behind with a dejected face.

Not far away, someone had set up a large lantern stage, inviting people to solve riddles with a large East Pearl as the reward.

Such a generous prize was enough to tempt everyone to give it a try.

However, the generous prize also came with difficult riddles, requiring real skill to win.

Xingxing even urged Su Jin to give it a try, but Su Jin certainly wouldn’t go up there to embarrass herself.

She quietly stood in the crowd, watching remarkable solutions unfold.

Yet, Su Jin eventually took the stage.

After all, today’s flower lantern festival was hosted for her birthday celebration.

As today’s birthday star, it was only fitting for her to present awards to the noble ladies who triumphed in the lantern guessing.

Such a small request was something Su Jin couldn’t refuse.

She just didn’t expect that the lantern stage was a trap designed just for her.

She reached the top and had just handed the large East Pearl to the girl when an incident occurred.

Darts fired from the shadows cut the binding ropes, causing the lantern stage to tip sideways.

Su Jin fell from the stage.

The Hidden Guard leapt to catch her but was blocked by darts launched from the shadows.

From afar, a man wearing a silver mask flew in, effortlessly holding Su Jin in his arms, stepping on the collapsing stage, and flying off into the distance.

From mid-air, looking down at the bustling street offered a unique perspective.

Once Su Jin touched the ground, her racing heart finally settled. However, her hand wrapped around the man’s waist remained clenched.

"Not planning to let go?" the man said in a deep voice.

The voice was unfamiliar.

Su Jin was momentarily stunned, hastily releasing her hold on the man’s waist.

She curtsied and expressed her gratitude, "Many thanks for your rescue, sir."

"Just a thank you?" the man asked.

"Then two?"

"...."

The man wrapped his arm around Su Jin’s waist and said, "How about you become my wife?"

"Sure," Su Jin replied cheerfully.

"...."

The man gritted his teeth a bit, tightening his arm around Su Jin’s waist, "You, woman!"

A voice thick like wine—if not Xie Jingchen, then who?

"Ouch!" Su Jin exclaimed.

"How did you realize it was me?" Xie Jingchen asked.

"Oh, was it you, husband? I didn’t know it was you," Su Jin blinked.

"...."

With just a sentence, Xie Jingchen was almost angered to death.

Claiming to become his wife without knowing who he was?!

Doing it on purpose to provoke him?

Su Jin’s lips twitched upward slightly.

Ha!

Did he really think a change of voice could fool her?

Was she that easy to deceive?

He could change his voice, but not his aura, and the embrace felt just the same.

Xie Jingchen didn’t remove his mask, but instead placed another mask on Su Jin.

Then he took Su Jin to enjoy the lanterns.
