After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 738 - 737 Undercover

By the time the Heir of Marquis Beining was brought back after bathing and changing, Mrs. Tang had already taken her leave.

The Marchioness Beining, who hadn’t left her room for several days, personally escorted Mrs. Tang out of the mansion.

She felt a bit weak on the way back.

These past days, her anger and worry led her to eat barely anything, surviving solely on medicine.

When the Heir of Marquis Beining entered the room, the Marchioness Beining was eating bird’s nest soup.

He stood by and called out "Mother" several times, but the Marchioness ignored him. Marquis Beining glared and said, "Your mother hasn’t eaten for days because of you. Wait here quietly for her to finish eating!"

The Heir of Marquis Beining looked dejected.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to wait, but standing for long made his rear feel like cramping.

The Marchioness Beining handed the bowl to a maid, then asked the Heir when he developed feelings for Miss Zhou Qi.

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

What feelings?

This was all just a misunderstanding!

The Heir furrowed his brow as the Marchioness insisted, "I want to hear the truth."

Then—

The Heir told the truth.

And then—

His father, Marquis Beining, scolded him thoroughly.

After the scolding, the Heir was seeing stars. Raising his hand as if taking an oath, he declared, "I swear, I will never casually drape my arm around people again!"

Actually, without the scolding, he had already done some soul-searching after realizing he’d beat on a girl’s chest.

How could he not reflect?

These days, there are more and more girls disguising themselves as men.

From Su Jin to Princess Shouning and now to Miss Zhou Qi...

He was easy-going around Prince NanAn and others, occasionally backstabbing brothers as a joke became a habit.

He noticed Marquis Dongxiang praising Miss Zhou Qi, and few could earn his praise.

Such a good little brother.

Who knew she was a girl?

And now she’s his betrothed...

This identity transformation happened so fast that the Heir was still in a daze, feeling lost amidst confusion.

Seeing his swaying demeanor, the Marchioness felt upset yet sympathetic. After scolding him a bit more, she had the servant help him to rest.

Once he left, the Marchioness chuckled, "The Great Buddha Temple’s prediction was really accurate, all of Zhou family’s daughters are prolific, I heard that all six married daughters have borne sons..."

She believed that Miss Zhou Qi wouldn’t be an exception either. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Old Master Zhou doesn’t have a son yet either," Marquis Beining remarked.

"..."

The Marchioness felt a bit sympathetic for her future in-law, without a son, and with the only unmarried daughter soon to be taken away.

When she married off her daughter, it was like having her heart carved with a knife.

She had that pain once, but Old Master Zhou had it six times.

Still sympathetic, she couldn’t resist giving Old Master Zhou another jab.

Seeing her eagerly preparing betrothal gifts with vigor, Marquis Beining couldn’t help but question if she was truly the same woman who had been so sickly a few days ago. He quickly stopped her, "Why the rush, your health has just improved a bit, and tomorrow we need to attend the wedding feast at Duke Dingguo Mansion."

The Marchioness paused, slapping her forehead, "I almost forgot in my excitement, I haven’t even prepared a gift."

Marquis Beining, "..."

Before her son was engaged, the Marchioness was reluctant to leave the house for other weddings, feeling blocked.

Now she’s more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Women, truly unpredictable.

The next day.

It was the grand wedding day of the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo, Yuan Qin, and the Right Minister’s daughter, Zhou Jingyi.

Su Jin and Zhou Jingyi had a good relationship.

As her close friend was getting married, it was customary to give some extra gifts.

Thus, Su Jin went to the Right Minister Mansion yesterday to deliver the gifts, and today accompanied the Princess Consort to Duke Dingguo Mansion for the feast.

Today’s Duke Dingguo Mansion was especially lively.

Many anticipated the Right Minister’s eldest young master to challenge and trouble the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo.

After all, last time when Su Chong married Princess Fu Yun, he was asked to cut green onions, which became the talk of the town.

In preparation for the roadblock, Young Master Zhou even brought gifts to humbly seek advice.

Hmm.

He humbly consulted with Young Master Su and the others.

When it comes to making things difficult, Young Master Zhou really couldn’t come up with any clever ideas.

Though Young Master Su is small, he truly has a lot of ideas.

Young Master Zhou asked Young Master Su to help him come up with something to thoroughly challenge his future brother-in-law.

Young Master Su readily agreed.

Being the smallest, he was usually the most overlooked.

How could he refuse such a moment to shine?

It was already generous of him not to volunteer himself.

As soon as Young Master Zhou left, the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo brought a skewer of candied hawthorns to bribe Young Master Su.

They used green onions to deal with his own brother, who knows what they’ll use against him.

Scary.

Better to go through the back door.

But Young Master Su had principles, how could he just switch sides for a bit of food and become untrustworthy?

If he was this fickle, who would trust him later on?

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo, after failing to persuade with treats, went to seek help from Mr. Su.

Besides Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang, only his big brother could handle Young Master Su.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo held Mr. Su in high regard, and since they’re good brothers, Mr. Su would surely help.

These days, Young Master Su was engrossed in thinking of ways to challenge the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo, forgetting that his little cousin had already been bought off.

Whatever idea he thought of, the little cousin leaked it to Mr. Su.

However, Young Master Su’s ideas changed several times a day...

Young Master Shen, "..."

Mr. Su, "..."

To cover all bases, Mr. Su dismantled various schemes.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo faced challenges confidently, "Bring on the last one."

Young Master Zhou opened the paper, read the challenge, "After your sister marries, can the brother-in-law agree to three of her requests?"

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

A bit bewildered.

This wasn’t in Brother Su’s question bank.

"What three requests?" panicked the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo.

"You’d have to ask my sister," Young Master Zhou replied.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo looked toward Su Chong.

Su Chong gave a helpless look.

His brother set a question with no options.

Not far off, the carriage was parked, and Young Master Su was laughing hard.

Young Master Shen asked him, "Why did you change the question?"

"When I delivered the message out of the mansion yesterday, I happened to run into my father, so I changed the question," said Young Master Su.

He fervently hoped his father could agree to a hundred of his requests.

Unfortunately, it was a daylight dream.

Even if one was agreed upon, he’d secretly be delighted.

Young Master Su had a sudden inspiration and turned it into the question for Young Master Zhou.

Desire for oneself, applied to others.

Young Master Shen looked distraught.

For the first time, his older cousin asked him for a favor, and he botched it.

It wasn’t that he was poor at being a mole, but rather Su Yang was too unpredictable, changing his mind in the time it took to use the toilet.

Not far off, Prince NanAn, patting the groom’s shoulder, said heartily, "Isn’t this question too easy?"

"It’s not just three requests; even three hundred are not a problem!"

With a nervous heart, the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo accepted, and Young Master Zhou stepped aside.

Prince NanAn and the others followed behind, clapping Su Chong’s shoulder, "Brother Su, your little brother is destined to be a force in the world. At just seven, one question already dug three big pits for someone."

"Let’s hope Brother Yuan can climb out of those pits in the future."

Su Chong laughed, "If I were you, I’d quickly go bribe my little brother before someone else beats you to it."

Prince NanAn, "...."
