After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 714: Lesson

Although Chu Shun peeping at a girl was innocent.

It had a bad impact.

The Marquis of Jingguo was too ashamed to leave the house.

The next day’s court, those ministers all looked at him strangely.

The bad example set by elders is followed by the young.

If the young go astray, it’s inevitable others suspect the elders’ integrity.

Moreover, it’s a father’s fault if a child is not taught properly.

When a son develops such quirks, the father bears a great deal of responsibility.

The Marquis of Jingguo was in utter depression.

If Chu Shun were around, he would have beaten him up severely.

Men and women should not sit together after the age of seven.

He was already of marrying age, yet he was dining with a girl on the street, creating such scandals.

Doesn’t he care about his father’s reputation?!

Seeing the indignant face of the Marquis of Jingguo, the Marquis of Beining recalled the trouble his son had caused some time ago.

He knocked out his cousin, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, took him to a doctor, which caused gossip, but fortunately, it was resolved perfectly in the end.

Not long after things quieted down, it was the Heir of Marquis Jingguo’s turn.

Indeed, like attracts like.

They are all equally unreliable.

Hm.

Not only did the Marquis of Beining think of the saying "like attracts like," but other ministers also thought of it.

The Heir of Marquis Jingguo and the Heir of Marquis Beining always went in and out together.

The Heir of Marquis Jingguo had such quirks, who could guarantee the others like Prince NanAn didn’t?

Even if they didn’t, sooner or later, they’d be led astray.

Prince NanAn, "..."

The Marquis of Beining, "..."

The elder of Duke Dingguo Mansion, "..."

Truly.

It was hard to resist wanting to hit someone in front of the Political Discussion Hall.

During the court session, the Marquis of Jingguo inevitably got impeached.

The Marquis of Jingguo argued that the girl was from an alien clan and scantily clad.

But an Imperial Censor shut him up with a sentence, "A gentleman remains unmoved by beauty, and should not gaze on impropriety."

What could the Marquis of Jingguo say?

He could only go home to beat his son.

Yet, his son was hiding and not coming home.

Chu Shun had a street fight, inadvertently got too close to a girl, it was originally an accident, but with the previous peeping incident, plus everyone knew Chu Shun mastered martial arts.

Everyone suspected Chu Shun did it on purpose.

The aim was to take advantage of that "accident" to disrespect the girl.

The Marquis of Jingguo was so angry he almost fainted in the court.

The Emperor scolded Chu Shun a few words, and ordered the Heir of Marquis Jingguo to control him, then the matter was considered settled.

After the court, the Marquis of Jingguo angrily went to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

Chu Shun saw his father and climbed over the wall to escape.

His martial arts were great now, and his qinggong even better, the Marquis of Jingguo couldn’t catch him.

But Chu Shun’s days were not easy.

The peeping incident spread throughout the taverns and teahouses, ruining his reputation.

Whichever girl he glanced at, that girl would flee, fearing he’d pounce when hungry like a wolf.

Chu Shun, "...."

Feeling really exhausted.

Recalling the past when walking down the street, there were girls who would wink at him, truly times have changed.

It seemed there was no place for him in the Capital City anymore.

The Marquis Jingguo Mansion was still looking for the girl he publicly harassed.

Chu Shun wandered outside, experiencing unprecedented humiliation, feeling his father probably left the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, and quietly climbed back in.

Hm.

Upon entering, he saw Qin Hanhan sitting on a stone under a big tree.

Young Master Su, the Ninth Prince, and Young Master Shen were watching the Gu Worm with her.

Knowing that Qin Hanhan was the daughter of Mrs. Tang’s benefactor, it was thanks to her father’s treatment that he was here.

Young Master Su was exceedingly kind to Qin Hanhan.

One chicken, two legs.

One for his sister-in-law, Princess Fu Yun.

The other was Qin Hanhan’s.

From this chicken leg, one could see Qin Hanhan’s importance in Young Master Su’s heart.

Chu Shun felt frustrated.

In the Capital City, when a woman suffered harassment, she would usually be distressed, so why did it seem like nothing had happened with her?

On the contrary, he was the one being despised and accused, everything was reversed.

Chu Shun had never been the kind to suffer losses without seeking revenge; he had to give her a painful lesson!

Then—

He got taught a lesson by Qin Hanhan.

Chu Shun, "...."

For the dignity of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Qin Hanhan detoxified him.

But she conveniently placed another kind of Gu in him.

Villains must be guarded against.

Watching Chu Shun utterly defenseless, Young Master Su had deep doubts.

Is practicing martial arts diligently truly useful?

Facing someone who can use poison and apply Gu, wasn’t he just as helpless?

Young Master Su decided to abandon martial arts for medicine.

He went to protest to Marquis Dongxiang.

Marquis Dongxiang didn’t scold him, just looked at him and said, "You want to go to the Southern Border to be apprenticed to study Gu?"

Young Master Su, "...."

He wanted to learn to use Gu, but didn’t want to leave home.

At home, he was already not very noticeable, if he left for a few years, wouldn’t his parents forget they had a son?

"I can learn medicine from my sister," Young Master Su said.

"Your sister’s medical skill is good, but she nearly died recently from an assassin’s hidden weapon; when in danger, do you have her good fortune to turn calamities into blessings?" Marquis Dongxiang flipped through the Military Book and said.

"..."

"The Heir of Marquis Jingguo couldn’t handle a girl not because he couldn’t, but because he doesn’t hit women, not because he truly wanted her life; otherwise, if he threw out a hidden weapon, would she have a chance to fight back?"

Young Master Su, "...."

Young Master Su left the study room disheartened.

As soon as he left the courtyard gate, the Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen surrounded him, "Did your father (second uncle) agree to it?"

Young Master Su shook his head.

When he returned to the inner room, a servant had arrived.

The servant came carrying seven or eight medical books.

Marquis Dongxiang didn’t oppose Young Master Su learning medicine for self-defense.

He sent people to buy a lot of medical books for him, telling him to look at them when he had nothing else to do.

Once he had some foundation, then let Su Jin teach him.

Young Master Su was slow to catch on.

His one protest.

Not only did he still have to learn martial arts, but he also had to learn medicine as well...

Young Master Su, "...."

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince snickered.

Young Master Su’s face burned with shame.

To save face, Young Master Su, against his better judgment, patted the book and said, "My dad said, having more skills does no harm, this medical skill I chose to learn voluntarily!"

"If you don’t learn medicine, you’ll end up like the Heir of Marquis Jingguo, unable to even handle a girl."

The more Young Master Su spoke, the more he realized the necessity of learning medicine.

The Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen thought what he said made sense.

Then—

Young Master Su ended up getting two friends to join him in studying medicine.

But these medical books were incredibly dull.

Young Master Su gritted his teeth and read on.

Chu Shun was in a bad spot.

After suffering a setback with Qin Hanhan, he went back only to get beaten by Prince NanAn and others.

It’s still that phrase, like attracts like.

Prince NanAn and others got implicated by Chu Shun, also being suspected of having a peeping fetish.

Even if they didn’t have it, they would eventually be led astray sometime anyway.

Prince NanAn, they blamed Chu Shun as well.

He found himself unable to provoke.

Add to that, the root of the problem was with Chu Shun himself.

To think a girl needs aid just because she shows some leg, he needs some self-control? What if he sees something more?
