After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 855 - 852: Diagnosis

Speaking of the hardships along the way, Housekeeper Zhou felt it would take several days and nights to fully explain. Talking about the Southern Border, the biggest impression was still those white thighs, from initially chanting "see no evil" all the way to becoming comfortable; it can be said they adapted to the local customs.

After all such hard work and exhaustion, Marchioness Jingguo couldn’t blame them for returning late. Coming back safely without missing a hair, and bringing the people back, was already a great achievement.

Housekeeper Zhou rewarded them with twenty taels of silver, and each of the accompanying servants received six taels.

Upon receiving the rewards, all tiredness vanished, and eating something became the top priority.

The food from the Southern Border really didn’t suit their palate; the cuisine of the Marquis Mansion was much tastier.

Marchioness Jingguo was busy receiving and seeing off guests, and when she saw Marchioness Beining and Princess NanAn came, she hurriedly greeted them.

"I’ve been eagerly expecting you, I’m so busy I’m dizzy," said Marchioness Jingguo.

Marchioness Jingguo asked Marchioness Beining and Princess NanAn to help her entertain the guests, just sitting there chatting with the madams, without needing to greet anyone, and if there was anything the maids couldn’t handle, they were to give advice.

Princess NanAn laughed, "Has the Duchess Dingguo not arrived yet?"

"Not yet," replied Marchioness Jingguo, shaking her head.

"That’s strange, the Duke Dingguo Mansion is the nearest," said Marchioness Beining.

As they were speaking, a maid came and said, "The Duchess Dingguo has arrived."

The group turned around to see the Duchess Dingguo walking over with a beaming smile.

Princess NanAn laughed, "So happy, could there be joyous news in your family?"

Marchioness Beining noticed that the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Dingguo Mansion hadn’t come along.

The Duchess Dingguo smiled, "Indeed there is joyous news, as we were getting ready to leave the residence, Jingyi felt a bit faint, I feared she was unwell, so we called a doctor to take her pulse, and it turns out she’s expecting."

Thinking about becoming a grandmother, how could she not be happy?

Marchioness Beining and Princess NanAn congratulated the Duchess Dingguo.

The Duchess Dingguo modestly said all her daughters-in-law were good at childbearing, and in the future, the children would be of similar ages and could grow up together as companions.

Princess NanAn thought of Nie Yao, and couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholy, but fortunately, it’s only a year, and it’ll pass soon. Thinking of her son and the Heir of Marquis Jingguo and them, first worrying about their sons, and now it’s the grandchildren to worry about.

As they chatted, the topic turned to good childbirth, Marchioness Beining said, "Now they’re off to the border, and who knows how long they’ll be gone. I don’t know when I can hold a grandchild."

Princess NanAn laughed, "Don’t worry, tomorrow the heir’s wife might give you a bunch, and by then, both your arms won’t be enough to hold them all, and you’ll need to carry one on your back."

Marchioness Beining chuckled.

Though describing it as a bunch isn’t quite appropriate, it’s not entirely out of the question either.

Old Master Zhou had difficulty with heirs, after six daughters, he was desperate for a son, looking everywhere for a woman good at childbearing. Miss Zhou Qi’s mother had three brothers, and even twins in the clan, so they were wed in great fanfare.

But perhaps Old Master Zhou was fated to be sonless, Miss Zhou Qi’s mother only bore one child, and it was a daughter.

While the Duchess Dingguo and others assisted Marchioness Jingguo in receiving guests, the news of the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Dingguo being pregnant spread.

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion had left early and wasn’t aware of this until someone came to congratulate him.

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

Hmm.

When others congratulated him, he thought they had mistaken him for someone else.

It’s Chu Shun’s happy day, why congratulate him?

Only after asking did he find out he was going to be a father.

The person congratulating him was confused because the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion was so excited, he patted him on the shoulder, said "Congratulations to us both," and ran off.

The man blushed, as he hadn’t even married yet, what was there to congratulate?

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion returned to the mansion, leaving the Heir of Marquis Beining and Prince NanAn wandering around.

When they encountered their own mothers, they received several glares each, and their moods were a bit down.

And after more than half an hour, the sound of gongs and drums resounded, and firecrackers exploded loudly.

The wedding was no different from others, they shot arrows, and took Qin Hanhan out of the bridal palanquin.

Qin Hanhan refused to get out of the palanquin, so Chu Shun pulled her out.

Thinking that her pretend engagement turned into a real sale by her greedy uncle, Qin Hanhan went berserk.

Without her permission, selling the Gu Worms she raised was bad enough, but how could he sell her too?!

Amidst the confusion, she followed along with the ceremonies, they bowed to heaven and earth, and she was sent into the bridal chamber.

Confused not only by the bowing but also by the consummation.

After being plied with alcohol, Chu Shun was pushed into the bridal chamber by Prince NanAn and the others.

Under the wedding maid’s guidance, they lifted the veil and drank the cross-cup wine.

With the drunken haze and flickering candlelight, the atmosphere was undeniably amorous.

Chu Shun felt a parched tongue and throat, he asked, "Do you feel a little hot?"

Qin Hanhan nodded, "A little bit."

"They must have drugged me too...."

Looking at Qin Hanhan’s alluring lips, Chu Shun’s thoughts wandered. Figuring they were drugged, resisting would be futile, so he followed his heart and kissed her.

Qin Hanhan struggled a bit, then looked at Chu Shun’s face and forgot to resist.

The two slowly fell toward the bed.

The red bed curtains warmed the room.

At the banquet, Prince NanAn and the others were drinking.

After returning to the Duke Mansion, the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo returned again, sat at the table, and looked at them, saying, "While I was away, you guys didn’t drug anyone again, did you?"

The Heir of Marquis Beining shook his head, "I didn’t drug anyone."

The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo looked at Prince NanAn, and Prince NanAn rolled his eyes at him, "Miss Qin is skilled with Gu, except for my sister-in-law, poisoning her would be like showing off an ax in front of a master carpenter."

"Who among these people who play with poison and Gu worms is easy to mess with?"

They had drugged the Heir of Marquis Beining, keeping him in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s restroom for half a day.

Who knows what would happen if they drugged Qin Hanhan?

They had the heart to poison but not the courage.

They were about to go to the battlefield soon, so they decided to do nothing to ensure their safety.

They put this matter aside and continued drinking.

However, they underestimated the situation.

Did they think doing nothing would ensure their safety?

The important thing was not drugging, but that Chu Shun and Qin Hanhan thought they had been drugged.

Then——

One had shoulder pain, another had leg pain, this one felt dizzy.

One by one, they lined up to find Su Jin to treat them.

Su Jin looked at them and said, "What’s wrong with each of you?"

"I don’t know, we just felt pain out of nowhere," said Prince NanAn.

Su Jin checked their pulses and said, "I can’t treat this illness; you’ll need to see Qin Hanhan."

"He and Brother Chu have just married, isn’t it inappropriate to disturb her for treatment?" said the Heir of Marquis Beining.

"...."

Su Jin held her forehead.

Xie Jingchen said, "It was her Gu, if you don’t go to her, who will remove it for you?"

"She used Gu on me?" Prince NanAn was shocked.

"We didn’t even meet her today... ."

"Brother Chu!" said the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo.

They realized they had seen Chu Shun in the morning.

Prince NanAn lamented bitterly, "He forgot his brothers after marrying a wife."

While criticizing Chu Shun, they went to find Qin Hanhan for detoxification.

After half an hour——

Not only did they return, but they also brought Chu Shun with them.

After leaving Agarwood Pavilion, they headed straight to Marquis Jingguo Mansion to question Chu Shun, finding out they were wronged.

They denied drugging anyone.

Chu Shun knew their personalities and was straightforward.

If they said they didn’t do it, then it wasn’t done.

Qin Hanhan felt apprehensive.

She suspected her uncle had drugged them.

After all, for her to marry Chu Shun, Third Master Qin had forcibly taken her all the way.

After detoxification, Qin Hanhan went to question Third Master Qin.

Third Master Qin had not drugged them either.

After the marriage ceremony, the marriage was settled, so there was no need for him to use drugs.

At this point, Qin Hanhan remembered to check Chu Shun’s pulse, finding no signs of aphrodisiac.

Qin Hanhan was skilled in raising Gu and using poison but was a bit less competent than ordinary doctors.

She wasn’t sure.

To get to the bottom of things, Prince NanAn and the others brought Chu Shun to find Su Jin.

Treating an illness requires examining, listening, questioning, and assessing.

Su Jin diagnosed merely by listening to Chu Shun’s symptoms, without checking his pulse—

"You just drank too much, got yourself emotionally confused, and assumed it was caused by being drugged," said Su Jin, exasperated.

"In other words, it’s like you’ve been psychologically affected by an aphrodisiac."

"...."

Just as they had brought Chu Shun over, they carried him back.

Once out of Agarwood Pavilion, they couldn’t wait to leave the Prince Mansion before giving Chu Shun a beating.

Indeed.

Chu Shun returned to the mansion with a bruised nose and swollen face.
