After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 879 - 875: Biting

If you fall into a pit someone else dug, naturally, you’ll become meat on their chopping board.

Su Jin admitted defeat.

But she didn’t forget that Xie Jingchen had tricked her three times.

Su Jin demanded to know the whole story.

Xie Jingchen felt overwhelmed.

Actually, he didn’t remember how many times he had tricked Su Jin. He just casually said three times.

Now, Su Jin wouldn’t let it go. Xie Jingchen had tricked Su Jin, and Su Jin had dragged him into the pit as well.

Xie Jingchen racked his brains and could only recall two instances.

One was when he tricked Su Jin into going to Long Bridge to play, lured the assassins into a trap, and ended up scratching her arm.

Su Jin knew about this incident.

The other was the recent Gu Worm issue.

Xie Jingchen wouldn’t admit it, and Su Jin would never have imagined it was his doing.

Though they calculated against her, she felt quite moved.

Su Jin took a deep breath, suppressed her burgeoning anger, and asked, "What about the third time?"

"I said it was three times when I tricked you, but actually, it was only twice," Xie Jingchen replied.

"....."

Su Jin stood up, walked to the desk, supported herself on it, and glared at Xie Jingchen, saying, "Dare to trick me so many times, tonight you are sleeping in the study obediently!"

Xie Jingchen: "....."

This woman.

She promised not to get angry, so why is she furious now?

Su Jin was not just angry, after exiting the study, she shouted, "Xingxing."

Xingxing ran over, "Miss, did you call me?"

"Bring me the family rules," Su Jin ordered.

"What do you need family rules for, Miss?" Xingxing asked, puzzled.

"To find a rule that requires punishment and break it," Su Jin stated.

Xingxing: "....."

Xie Jingchen: "....."

The Hidden Guard began to sympathize with the Young Master.

They said there’d be no good outcome for calculating against the Heir’s wife, and indeed, it’s proven right.

Su Jin spoke loudly enough that even Xie Jingchen in the study heard, not to mention the maids and old women in the yard.

The maids looked at each other puzzled.

They didn’t know how the Young Master had provoked the Heir’s wife.

It’s just that the Young Master said husbands should bear their wives’ mistakes, which was touching enough. Why would the Heir’s wife deliberately break family rules for him to be punished?

After instructing, Su Jin returned to the room.

Xingxing followed closely behind.

Su Jin said, "Go fetch the family rules."

"Wasn’t Miss joking?" Xingxing asked.

"Of course, I’m serious," Su Jin replied.

"Go quickly."

Xingxing didn’t budge; she didn’t know what happened in the room, just looked at Su Jin and said, "Miss, you’re deliberately avoiding having children and causing Master to be punished. I’ll complain to Madam."

Su Jin: "....."

What are you foolishly speculating?

Unable to hold back, Su Jin raised her hand and tapped Xingxing on the head.

"The Gu Worm thing was your Master’s doing, which almost got you punished, yet you still speak for him?" Su Jin scolded in frustration.

Xingxing’s eyes widened.

How could Master be behind it?

Xingxing couldn’t believe it.

Xingxing touched her forehead, took a whip from her pouch, and handed it to Su Jin.

Su Jin frowned, "I want the family rules."

Xingxing said, "I’ve gone through the family rules; there aren’t many mistakes that require punishment by the board, and no girl would commit them. At most, it’s confinement or kneeling..."

Those mistakes punishable by the board are severe, like Xie Jingchuan causing fires.

This kind of stupid act where one harms the Master a thousand, and the lady self-harms two thousand, how can it be done?

Ultimately, Master would be the one to suffer, so using the whip is similar.

The most important thing is—

Miss can’t hit.

If Miss knew she’s being underestimated like this, she’d whip her.

But Xingxing was unfazed.

Not good at using the whip, and since it’s been so long since touching it, it’s a wonder if it would hit anyone.

Su Jin accepted the whip but still asked Xingxing to fetch the family rules. After looking through them, she confirmed there weren’t any suitable ones for her to break, so she gave up.

Yet she had Xingxing take Xie Jingchen’s quilt to the study.

Xie Jingchen’s brows furrowed tightly.

Xingxing earnestly set the quilt up for him, saying, "Master, you should sleep in the study tonight; otherwise, Miss might get upset and use the whip on herself."

The Hidden Guard: "....."

Xie Jingchen: "....."

This threat was effective.

Xie Jingchen slept in the study for a night.

But it was only for one night.

Early the next day, as dawn broke, he returned to his room.

Su Jin was sleeping soundly and felt her nose and neck itching. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After scratching several times, the itch only intensified.

Su Jin opened her eyes to find Xie Jingchen’s handsome face magnified in front of her, his slender fingers twirling a strand of her hair.

This was the culprit that woke her.

Just waking up, Su Jin hadn’t yet registered the previous night’s command for him to sleep in the study.

"It’s been all night. Has your anger dissipated?" Xie Jingchen asked.

Su Jin wanted to kill him.

Just as she was about to speak, he silenced her, swallowing all her words.

The early-rising maids hearing sounds from the main room ran away, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

As morning came, Xingxing approached to enter the room.

Just about to touch the door, she was picked up by the Hidden Guard by the collar and carried away.

Xingxing shouted in anger, but her mouth was covered by the Hidden Guard as he dragged her off.

Then—

The Hidden Guard ended up with several bite marks on his hand.

The Hidden Guard: "....."

The Hidden Guard looked at the wounds on his hand, feeling wronged.

Xingxing blinked innocently and apologized, "I’ve never bitten anyone before; I was a bit too harsh. I’ll be careful next time."

"You plan on biting me again?" the Hidden Guard asked.

"....."

"I’ll bite someone else."

"You bite me this hard and bite others lightly?" The Hidden Guard complained in frustration.

"....."

"I won’t be light; I’ll bite them to death."

After saying that, Xingxing quickly ran off.

She feared the Hidden Guard would ask for compensation.

The Hidden Guard looked at his wounds; the maid didn’t even bring him ointment.

However, not long after, the Hidden Guard regretted it.

Xingxing treated him as others and bit down hard, nearly crippling one of his hands.

The sun was high up by the time Su Jin woke up.

Her body moved and she could hear her bones creaking.

Xie Jingchen was reading and turned to say, "Awake?"

Su Jin glanced at the sunlight streaming through the window, remembered something, and quickly asked, "What hour is it?"

"It’s half an hour to noon," Xie Jingchen replied.

Half an hour?

It sounded like it was still early.

Su Jin glared at him, "I have to enter the palace today to help Princess Jiuling with acupuncture and medicine change!"

Princess Jiuling’s leg treatment had been ongoing for a while. Su Jin didn’t need to visit the palace every day for medicine change, but every five days, she still went to check the Princess’s pulse and adjust the prescription, striving to help her stand as soon as possible.

She’d agreed to go in the morning, but now, rising this late, by the time she enters the palace, it would be time for lunch.

What if the Emperor asked why she arrived so late, what would she reply?!

Su Jin threw off the quilt and climbed out of bed, but her legs gave way, and she almost knelt.

Xie Jingchen caught her in time and chuckled softly, "Can you still enter the palace?"

Su Jin wished she could kick him away.

He caused all this, and he had the audacity to laugh?!

Su Jin glared at him, and sure enough, he stopped laughing, but anyone could tell he was in an excellent mood.

Xingxing entered the room to assist Su Jin with dressing and washing.

After eating half a bowl of noodles, Su Jin hurriedly set off to the palace with Xingxing.
