After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 732 - 731: Punished to Kneel

The one choking Su Chong’s neck was precisely the Heir of Marquis Beining.

In a moment of distraction, he used too much force.

When he realized it, he quickly loosened his arm.

Su Chong coughed incessantly.

"You really want to finish me off," Su Chong said, rubbing his neck.

The Heir of Marquis Beining was about to speak when he sneezed.

Beining Marquis Mansion.

The Marchioness Beining had just learned that Princess Fu Yun was pregnant and was happy for Mrs. Tang and the Duchess of Chong.

After the joy, she felt a bit down.

Her own son hadn’t even found a wife yet, while others were already expecting children.

Even without comparing to Su Chong, he was still a notch behind Prince NanAn and others.

He was already far behind!

Thinking about how everyone would soon be showing off their grandchildren, while she had none.

The Marchioness Beining started lecturing her son.

The training ground.

Su Chong and the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo supported each other as they walked out.

Both had bruised and swollen faces.

Hmm.

After Su Chong, the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo also took a beating.

Prince NanAn and Chu Shun and their group were displeased with him.

Xie Jingchen married Su Jin because he had been forced to when Su Jin snatched him off the street.

Su Chong stepped forward to rescue Princess Fu Yun from the pit of fire.

Prince NanAn’s marriage to Nie Yao was arranged by his parents and matchmakers.

Chu Shun and Qin Hanhan’s betrothal was a misunderstanding forced by rumors.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo was the exception.

He and the Right Minister’s daughter were deeply in love, with mutual affection...

Even the shoes on his feet looked particularly nice.

That reason alone was enough for Prince NanAn and the others to beat him up.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo, "..."

A bit aggrieved but didn’t dare to speak up.

Avoiding the anger of the masses.

If he resisted now, he’d get even more beaten.

But thinking of it this way, he was still quite happy.

It’s not easy to marry a loving wife, so the beating was worth it.

He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, almost getting him beaten again.

Su Jin had a meal back at the Marquis Mansion, and Qin Hanhan accompanied her.

After lunch, Qin Hanhan saw Su Jin off, and Su Jin said, "No need to see me off."

Qin Hanhan looked at her and said, "Although I didn’t find the gu worm this time in Daqi, getting to know you all made the trip worthwhile. You only come back every half a month, and by the next time you return, I will have already gone back to the Southern Border."

Su Jin looked at her, "Leaving so soon?"

Qin Hanhan was also reluctant, but she had been away from home too long.

"I’ve searched all over the Capital City, and apart from the gu worm on you, I haven’t found a second one," Qin Hanhan said.

"I have no reason to stay."

Actually, she did find another one. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Half a month ago, the butterfly lure clearly sensed another gu worm.

But after some chasing, the butterfly stopped.

She searched the streets for over ten days and found nothing.

She had already disturbed the people at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion enough.

She wasn’t someone who liked to bother others.

Su Jin urged her to stay, "The Southern Border is a thousand miles from Daqi, not easy to visit. Why not stay a little longer?"

"If you’re bored at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, you could go to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion to find me. We can also exchange medical skills."

Qin Hanhan was mediocre at medical skills, but excelled at using poison.

As they spoke at the gate, Chu Shun and his group happened to be coming out of the mansion.

Hearing Qin Hanhan was leaving, Chu Shun suddenly felt a little blocked up.

He’d always been hoping she’d leave soon, so his mother wouldn’t keep thinking about her, using the excuse to come to the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion every few days to see her future daughter-in-law while playing mahjong.

Every visit was nerve-wracking, fearing that Qin Hanhan would slip up and bring ruin upon him.

Now that she really was leaving, he felt a little reluctant.

"Why hurry to leave? In a few days, it’ll be Brother Yuan’s wedding. Why not have a drink at the wedding before you go?" Chu Shun said.

Qin Hanhan glanced at him.

Didn’t expect Chu Shun to invite her to stay.

She looked at the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo.

With his bruised and swollen face, she wasn’t quite sure it was him.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo said, "Hope Miss Qin would do us the honor, have a drink at the wedding. There are many fun places in the Capital that you probably haven’t explored. Perhaps Brother Chu could take you around for a tour another day."

Qin Hanhan thought for a moment and nodded.

Su Jin left in a carriage.

Chu Shun and his friends rode horses.

After going some distance, Chu Shun glanced back.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo looked at him and said, "Reluctant to see her go, aren’t you?"

"Who’s reluctant?!" Chu Shun exclaimed.

"Stubborn as a mule," said the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo.

He spoke forcefully, causing the corners of his mouth to hurt.

Getting beaten up by Prince NanAn was one thing, but to have Chu Shun beat him as well felt rather unjust.

In any case, Chu Shun refused to admit his reluctance for Qin Hanhan to leave.

It’s not like she wanted to marry him anyway.

Besides, marrying a woman who’d resort to gu worm at the drop of a hat — is he not planning to spend his later years peacefully?

The Heir of Marquis Beining looked at him and said, "If you’re not reluctant, then why ask her to stay?"

"I..."

"I was just asking her on behalf of my mother!"

Yes!

It was all because of his mother’s sake.

"If my mother knew she wanted to leave and I didn’t ask her to stay, just imagine how she’d scold me," Chu Shun said.

The Heir of Marquis Beining and the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo exchanged a knowing smile.

Afraid that they’d bring up the topic again, Chu Shun decisively dragged the Heir of Marquis Beining out as his shield, saying, "You better think about how to dodge the forced marriage when you get back to the mansion."

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

That remark felt like salt being poured on a wound, causing the Heir of Marquis Beining to feel a dull ache in his heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

After returning to the mansion, the Heir of Marquis Beining couldn’t avoid the marriage pressure.

No matter how much the Marchioness Beining scolded, he never talked back.

In short, his attitude was very good.

If he hadn’t been caught with cotton stuffed in his ears at the end, the scolding might have ended half an hour earlier.

Upon discovering this, he was immediately punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Kneeling without warning, and no one even brought him meals.

A servant sneaked him two meat buns, moving the Heir of Marquis Beining deeply.

"How did my mother scold me later?" the Heir of Marquis Beining asked.

"If the Young Master wanted to know, why block your ears?" Even the servant wanted to scold him.

"..."

"Well?!" The Heir of Marquis Beining raised a fist, feeling that a person who hasn’t been hit for three days dares to contradict him as the Heir of Marquis Beining.

"Please calm down, Young Master, I wouldn’t dare not say..."

"The Madam plans to visit the Great Buddha Temple tomorrow to draw a lot for you, to see when your marriage fate will arrive," the servant cowardly said.

Gnawing on a bun, the Heir of Marquis Beining hatched a plan.

On the next day, with a nervous heart, the Marchioness Beining went to the Great Buddha Temple for a divinatory lot.

The lot portion was excellent, sweeping away the Marchioness Beining’s gloom, and she returned happily to the mansion.

The lot said there was no need to worry about marriage; once fate arrives, it can’t be avoided.

Moreover, the future daughter-in-law would give her seven grandchildren.

A daughter-in-law who could bear so many children, it wouldn’t hurt to bring her home three or five months later.

Delighted, the Marchioness Beining made life easier for the Heir of Marquis Beining.

No more scoldings, and no more punishments to kneel.

Though the Marchioness Beining wasn’t in a hurry, she was still actively searching for a wife for her son.

After all, what if fate was something she, the mother, set in motion?

It’s said that girls with wide hips are good for giving birth.

The future daughter-in-law must be good for breeding, so the Marchioness Beining only picked ladies with wide hips from big families.

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

While others choose daughters-in-law based on looks, his mother focused on hips.

The Heir of Marquis Beining could no longer bear staying in the mansion and moved to the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion to seek refuge.

When the maid reported this, the Marchioness Beining didn’t mind, saying, "Nothing can happen at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion."

Yet precisely—

This time, something happened.

And it nearly caused her to faint from sheer anger.

Because rumors had it that the Heir of Marquis Beining fancied men...

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."
