After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 724 - 723: Indulgence

Ever since being cursed a few times by Qin Hanhan, Chu Shun started studying the Gu Worms from the Southern Border.

The more he researched, the more he felt horrified.

He guessed Qin Hanhan must be using secret southern techniques to make shoes for him.

Who knows if putting them on would attract trouble.

While his heart was trembling, he heard the Ninth Prince say, "Better not let her make the shoes."

"I saw her being so clumsy, she pricked herself many times in just a short while, staining the shoes with her blood."

"By the time the shoes are done, she might almost have bled out."

"..."

Chu Shun was dumbfounded, "So you called those shoes Blood Shoes?"

"What else?" Young Master Su looked puzzled.

Chu Shun patted his chest repeatedly.

It scared him to death!

No wonder Brother Jingchen’s hidden guards advised not to overthink talking to the people from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

The people from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion are straightforward and don’t beat around the bush; they mean it literally.

Thinking too much is just creating trouble for oneself.

"She insists on making the shoes, I can’t stop her," Chu Shun said with a headache.

It’s not like he’s short of shoes to wear.

Besides, this fiancée is someone he pleaded to help with a play, not one that Prince NanAn deliberately made difficult, forcing a breakup.

If she really sent him the shoes, could he not wear them?

He definitely doesn’t want to wear blood-stained shoes on the street.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Chu Shun became.

He was pretty much like them with Prince NanAn.

Why is it that their fiancées can’t be pushed away, while he had to beg everyone to get his?

They voluntarily want embroidered shoes, but when it comes to him, it’s forced upon him.

Chu Shun, "..."

Young Master Su and a few others went to play.

They didn’t plan to go to the main gate, but a maid came to tell them to play in the inner courtyard.

Young Master Su looked at the maid and said, "Why go to the inner courtyard?"

"Madam instructed it," the maid replied.

"My mother never instructed me like this before," Young Master Su said.

"There must be something wrong."

"..."

The Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen exchanged looks.

Feeling quite weary.

Their intuition told them Young Master Su was looking for trouble again.

If his mother told him to play in the inner courtyard, couldn’t he just do that?

Why must he think there is a problem?

Born in the palace, the Ninth Prince had this realization: curiosity killed the cat.

In the palace, the more you know, the faster you die.

If it’s not something they should know, they absolutely must not know it.

But Young Master Su was different.

He just wanted to find out why his mother didn’t let him play in the outer courtyard.

Young Master Su refused to go to the inner courtyard.

The maid wouldn’t dare drag him there either, and even if she did, she couldn’t outrun Young Master Su.

Young Master Su ran half a circle in the outer courtyard and discovered Uncle Wen Yuan at the door of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

Young Master Su leaned against the door and said, "No wonder my mother didn’t let me stay in the outer courtyard."

Although he was small, he wasn’t lacking in judgment.

From his parents’ conversations and Mrs. Jiang’s anger.

Uncle Wen Yuan must be his mother’s brother, his uncle.

But he wasn’t nice to his mother at all; otherwise, Mrs. Jiang wouldn’t be so angry that she needed a doctor.

He was bad to his mother and even said she was heartless, not acknowledging her brother after getting married?

Young Master Su took out the slingshot he was wearing on his waist.

He picked up a pebble and aimed.

The stone flew out, hit the ground, brushed past Uncle Wen Yuan’s leg...

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince looked at him, "What’s wrong with you, so close and you can’t aim?"

"My mother wanted me to play in the inner courtyard to keep me from doing anything to him. If I hit him directly, my mother might beat me," Young Master Su said.

"My older brother said, a hero can yield; when it needs subtlety, be subtle."

"..."

The Ninth Prince’s mouth twitched.

Using a slingshot to hit the stone on the ground and then having it rebound to hit Uncle Wen Yuan is subtle?

How is that different from hitting him directly?

Just as he thought that, Young Master Su’s slingshot hit the stone lion, rebounded and struck Uncle Wen Yuan’s forehead.

"Ah...!"

Uncle Wen Yuan screamed.

Young Master Su’s mouth blossomed with joy.

Uncle Wen Yuan knew he wouldn’t gain any advantage at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. He just didn’t expect to be hit by Young Master Su’s slingshot.

After being in the capital for so long, especially after learning that Dongxiang Marquis’s wife was his sister, Uncle Wen Yuan had inquired a lot about Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

The achievements of Su Jin, Su Chong winning the grand mansion of Duke Chong’s Mansion, and Young Master Su sneaking out of the mansion, abducting the Ninth Prince, and injuring Princess Shouning and Princess Beimo with a slingshot.

If he dared to hit princesses, what about him?

He dodged, but he could evade Young Master Su; he couldn’t avoid Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince.

Both initially aimed at the ground, like Young Master Su.

But their aim wasn’t as good as Young Master Su’s.

Plus, Uncle Wen Yuan was deliberately avoiding them.

Dozens of pebbles were shot, and not one hit Uncle Wen Yuan.

The Ninth Prince and Young Master Shen were scratching their heads in frustration.

The two exchanged a glance.

Together, they aimed directly at Uncle Wen Yuan.

Two stones flew out, and Uncle Wen Yuan didn’t dare linger any longer.

Young Master Su’s eyes were filled with joy.

By the time the maid arrived to convey Mrs. Tang’s message, Uncle Wen Yuan had already left.

The maid was also instructed by Young Master Su to retrieve the pebbles, as the stones scattered at the main entrance were too conspicuous.

"This time, surely he won’t dare to come again?" Young Master Shen said.

"He better not come again," Young Master Su said.

Young Master Su twirled his slingshot and returned to the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Tang scolded him briefly for his disobedience.

Mrs. Jiang rarely interceded for Young Master Su, "Young Master is sensible and doesn’t hit just anyone."

"If Uncle Wen Yuan hadn’t stuck his nose at the Marquis Mansion’s door, Young Master wouldn’t even know which way the door of Wenyuan Bo Mansion faces."

"Punishing Young Master for a loathsome person, can Madam bear it?"

Young Master Su nodded repeatedly, "Mother, I am your own son after all."

Initially, Mrs. Tang was moved by this plea.

But with Young Master Su’s last sentence, Mrs. Tang hardened her heart, punishing him to practice on the Meihua Poles for half an hour.

Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince didn’t receive any punishment.

Young Master Su obediently went to accept his punishment, while Young Master Shen and the Ninth Prince followed to watch him train.

Mrs. Jiang was a bit angry, she looked at Mrs. Tang and said, "Madam!"

"Punishing Young Master for a heartless person, can you bear to do that?"

Mrs. Tang looked at the distant back of Young Master Su and said, "I know he’s filial, and I’m reluctant to punish him."

"But after all, I am his mother."

"What kind of mother would indulge her son in disrespecting elders?"

Mrs. Jiang was left speechless by the retort.

No matter how much they detest Uncle Wen Yuan, he is still Young Master Su’s uncle.

The grudges of the previous generation shouldn’t involve a seven-year-old child.

Especially since Young Master Su is still young and doesn’t understand what it means to suffer a silent loss.

Openly hitting Uncle Wen Yuan could easily give the Imperial Censorate an excuse to impeach the Marquis and tarnish his own reputation in the future.

Thinking from this perspective, Mrs. Jiang felt Mrs. Tang was right in her teaching.

Moving a little further away, Young Master Shen looked at the Ninth Prince and asked, "Why weren’t you and I punished this time by the second aunt?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head.

He didn’t know either.

They also attacked Uncle Wen Yuan.

And it wasn’t subtle at all.

This was the first time since they entered Dongxiang Marquis Mansion that they weren’t implicated by Young Master Su.

Young Master Su paused and said, "My mother didn’t punish you, which means you did nothing wrong. But punishing me means I was wrong."
