After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 829 - 826: Brothers-in-Law

After leaving Prince Qi Mansion, Su Jin got into a carriage.

When the carriage had moved far away, Xingxing looked at Su Jin and said, "Miss, why did you tell Prince Qi Mansion that there is a way to save Princess Qi in Southern Border?"

Su Jin leaned against the carriage and said, "The symptoms of Princess Qi are too peculiar. I believe the Imperial Physician will eventually figure out it’s related to the Gu worm."

"Instead of letting them guess, I’d rather tell them openly."

Xingxing thought about it and felt that her mistress made sense.

She lifted the curtain to look outside.

After a short while, Xingxing’s face turned sour.

Unlucky.

She saw Princess Fuqing.

Xingxing saw that Princess Fuqing’s expression was unpleasant.

Princess Fuqing was even less willing to see Xingxing.

These days, she had been staying with Princess Jiuling at the palace, though her movements weren’t restricted.

But her time in Daqi was far less comfortable than in Nanliang.

No friends.

Well, not completely friendless, she had two allies.

One was Mo Chengxian, the other was Li Yian.

One had been demoted from Commandery Princess to commoner, and the other had their whole family demoted to commoners, if not for the Empress Dowager’s protection, they would be guarding the Imperial Mausoleum.

Thinking about how these two allies vowed they could help her.

Princess Fuqing sneered.

They are like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, and they boast they can help her?

How embarrassing.

Princess Fuqing was in a bad mood.

She wanted to return to Nanliang with the envoy, but Princess Jiuling disagreed, and before she could meet the envoy, they were expelled from Capital City.

She understood Daqi’s stance; unless her father came to Daqi personally, her mother wouldn’t return to Nanliang.

No idea how long she’d have to stay in Daqi. Princess Fuqing angrily tore the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Su Jin wasn’t shopping because Princess Fuqing was on the street, but because the Old Prince had decided to go to the border in two days.

Su Jin tidied up the medicines in the bamboo house, taking all necessary ones for the battlefield for the Old Prince.

But still felt it wasn’t enough, so she planned to calmly prepare more pills in the coming two days.

Two days later.

The Old Prince and Marquis Yangnan set off for the border.

Along with them was Marquis Jibei.

Since there’s been no official battle at the border yet, the Emperor didn’t reward the troops but personally bid farewell to the Old Prince and others.

Su Jin and Xie Jingchen escorted the Old Prince out of the city.

Su Chong and Young Master Su were also there.

When Su Jin reached the city gate, Young Master Su was riding on horseback, sitting in the arms of Marquis Jibei.

It was here at the city gate where Marquis Jibei first saw his grandson.

Grandfather and grandson were whispering secrets.

Whatever it was they said, Marquis Jibei laughed heartily.

Marquis Dongxiang glanced at Young Master Su, his look seemed to say: careful or you’ll get punished.

Young Master Su sat confidently in his grandfather’s embrace, fearless.

He constantly complained about his father to Marquis Jibei.

Marquis Jibei couldn’t help but say a few words to Marquis Dongxiang, "Yangyang is still small, don’t be too strict with him."

Marquis Dongxiang looked helpless.

If he dares to complain about his father, he’s clearly not strict enough.

Marquis Jibei hugged Young Master Su and said, "Soon, your father will go to the battlefield. You must listen to your mother and not sneak out to play."

Young Master Su nodded in agreement.

Young Master Shen said, "Grandfather, I’ll help you watch out for him."

Marquis Jibei chuckled.

He could watch Su Yang?

He’s more likely to lose himself in the process.

After advising Young Master Su, he turned to Young Master Shen, telling him to listen to his aunt while staying at Marquis Dongxiang Mansion.

Young Master Shen agreed to everything.

As long as he didn’t have to go back home, he’d agree to anything.

Madam Shen felt raising her youngest son was a waste.

The Ninth Prince stayed at Marquis Dongxiang Mansion and at least knew to visit the Emperor.

Her son stayed there without a thought of returning, always avoiding her when she visited, afraid she’d take him home.

If it wasn’t for seeing her son’s height grow, not falling behind in studies, riding and archery skills improving, becoming physically strong, more courageous, eating well, and looking healthy... being raised by others was better than being raised at home, could Madam Shen endure the separation?

Seeing Young Master Shen’s transformation, Madam Shen wasn’t spared from Old Master Shen teasing her about how she raised her son more like a stepmother.

Madam Shen was furious.

She’s worried her son would grow closer to Mrs. Tang than her in the future.

But Young Master Shen didn’t interact with Mrs. Tang; he was glued to Su Yang.

But to say they were close, she’d seen Young Master Shen and Young Master Su fight, using teeth when he couldn’t win.

Not only fighting with Young Master Su but also with the Ninth Prince.

The trembling of Madam Shen’s heart goes unspoken.

After the farewells, Mrs. Tang and Madam Shen went shopping, letting Young Master Su and the others shop for half a day and then visit the Old Madam at Marquis Jibei Mansion, stay overnight, and return after breakfast the next day.

It’s like giving Young Master Su and the others a day’s holiday.

Their cheers were heard throughout the city gate.

Mrs. Tang, Madam Shen, and Third Madam Shen strolled half a street, entered the Beauty Pavilion, where Marchioness Jingguo happened to be, and gathered for a game of mahjong.

Marchioness Jingguo hadn’t played mahjong for some time, saying, "I’m quite rusty."

Prince NanAn Mansion was in mourning, and Princess NanAn hadn’t left the house these days.

They usually took turns, one day at your house, the next at mine, or booked a room at the Beauty Pavilion to play and chat.

Madam Shen laughed and asked, "Hasn’t Marquis Jingguo Mansion early sent someone to Southern Border to the wedding, when’s the banquet?"

Speaking of this, Marchioness Jingguo sighed, "Southern Border is too far, still no news, I even have the invitations ready, just waiting to fill in the date to send them out."

Mrs. Tang looked at Marchioness Jingguo hesitantly.

Knowing the engagement between Qin Hanhan and Chu Shun was a façade.

Seeing Marchioness Jingguo like this, Mrs. Tang really wanted to tell her the truth, as a senior helping juniors cover up wasn’t right.

Mrs. Tang thought about it, but felt that Marquis Jingguo’s heir should be the one to say it.

Su Jin shopped for half a day and then took the carriage back to the mansion.

The bamboo house only had some poisons left, she needed to make more pills for emergencies.

Thinking that soon the Prince and others would go to the battlefield.

Once war breaks, no matter how much medicine there’s never enough.

Su Jin prepared pills whenever she got a chance.

Time flies when busy.

Suddenly, the heir of Marquis Beining married Miss Zhou Qi back in the Capital.

Marquis Beining Mansion hosted a wedding banquet, and of course, Su Jin and Xie Jingchen attended to offer their congratulations.

Amid the festivities, with music and celebration, the heir of Marquis Beining and Miss Zhou Qi worshiped heaven and earth, and were escorted into the bridal chamber.

Prince NanAn hooked his arm around Chu Shun’s neck and said, "How was it, was it fun to welcome the bride?"

Chu Shun looked at Prince NanAn and said, "Don’t mention it, it’s fortunate I dragged Brother Zhao along, or it would’ve been embarrassing."

"That exciting? Tell me all about it," Prince NanAn urged.

"...."

"Old Master Zhou has no sons but six married daughters, and six sons-in-law, everyone was there, plus the cousins in the clan, all sorts of cousins, crowded outside the Zhou Family gate, all were there to block the road, each with a challenge."

"I’m telling you, Brother Mu and those brothers-in-law posed such tricky riddles, even worse than Young Master Su’s, passing through Zhou Family’s challenge, I feel even saying I’m a top scholar doesn’t cover how Zhao and I did."

"...."

Prince NanAn couldn’t believe it, "Are they brothers-in-law or do they sound like enemies?"

"They’re not enemies now, but there’s a chance they could become enemies," Chu Shun replied.

"...."
