Chapter 335 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" opens with: From the Hidden Guard, Young Master Su learned—That the chicken needs to be killed and... Find out what happens!

From the Hidden Guard, Young Master Su learned—That the chicken needs to be killed and plucked first. The fire needs to be burned for more than half an hour. His chicken wasn’t plucked, no salt was added, and he didn’t stuff mushrooms, shrimp, or bamboo shoots into the chicken’s belly. The fire was only burning for less than a quarter of an hour. No wonder the chicken wasn’t cooked. But even if it wasn’t cooked, did it need to run away? Young Master Su felt utterly humiliated. Out of anger, he bit into the beggar’s chicken fiercely. It actually tasted pretty good. Young Master Su ate half of the beggar’s chicken and then started looking all over the Marquis Mansion for the chicken that embarrassed him, staging a chaotic battle of chickens flying and dogs jumping. Young Master Su was determined to make a beggar’s chicken for Prince NanAn and the others to eat, after all, he took their money. Failing to deliver after taking money is not in line with Young Master Su’s principles. Once promised, it must be done. But this ambition was quite hard on the chickens; it’s unknown how many chickens were ruined in Young Master Su’s hands. Even the cook couldn’t stand it and complained to Mrs. Tang about the waste of three to five old hens in a day, all of which cost money. The people of Qingyun Mountain ate a lot, but they never wasted. Mrs. Tang smiled lightly and said, "Don’t worry about him, the Marquis wants to see how long he can hold out." With Mrs. Tang’s words, the cook had no choice but to let Young Master Su be. After all, Su Yang was young and didn’t have precise control over the heat, and he stayed by the fire for several hours a day, which was quite admirable for a boy his age. Moreover, trying to make beggar’s chicken brought Su Yang an unexpected surprise. The fire was too strong, making the stones hot, and when Su Yang poured water on them, the stones cracked. He lightly stepped on them with his foot, and the hard stone turned to powder. This discovery left Young Master Su dumbfounded. He looked at the walls of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion— Could he also burn the walls until they cracked, and with a gentle kick, bring them down? Young Master Su was a man of action. This thought excited him, and he longed for freedom, being cooped up in the mansion almost drove him mad. How nice would it be to go to the street for a walk from time to time? Young Master Su knew there was only one chance, so he needed to plan carefully, unlike before when he was about to do something and got stopped by his father. He burned several large stones, then poured water on them, and they shattered with just a tap. After this discovery, Young Master Su’s chickens were even less likely to be cooked. On this day, the sun was shining, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. But for some, it was gloomy. The Left Imperial Censor Mr. Sun got beaten— His nose was broken by a punch from Marquis Dongxiang. He fainted on the spot. It’s not the first or second time Marquis Dongxiang has hit someone, and it’s not the first time he’s broken someone’s nose, so it’s not unusual. But he was the first in the entire court to openly assault an official like this. So once it happened, news was destined to spread wildly. The first person who should know was the Emperor. In the Imperial Study. The Emperor was in a good mood. Old Master Xie had captured King Beimo alive, temporarily resolving the border concern and boosting national prestige, making the Emperor pleased. Knowing that Marquis Dongxiang hit the Left Imperial Censor, the Emperor’s good mood was shadowed by gloom. "Can’t he let me enjoy a few days of peace?!" the Emperor complained angrily. "Don’t upset yourself, Your Majesty," Eunuch Fu quickly advised. "Bring them to me in the palace!" the Emperor ordered angrily. Read complete version only at n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net Poor Imperial Physician had just arrived at the Ministry of Justice to bandage the Left Imperial Censor when the eunuch summoning them to the palace arrived. The Left Imperial Censor sat in a carriage, being medicated by the Imperial Physician inside. As the carriage bumped, every touch of the medicine on his broken nose caused the Left Imperial Censor to scream in agony. The piercing screams made Marquis Dongxiang rub his ears. A little injury, is that necessary? Back when they crawled out of piles of corpses, who ever frowned? In the Imperial Study. The Emperor was sipping tea to calm his anger. No matter how angry Marquis Dongxiang was, he shouldn’t have hit the Left Imperial Censor. When he saw the Left Imperial Censor’s nose wrapped in gauze and his pale face, the Emperor’s mouth twitched, and seeing Marquis Dongxiang’s angry face filled him with rage. After hitting someone, he showed no signs of remorse at all, is that how it should be?! If everyone on the court behaved like him, resorting to violence over disagreements, wouldn’t all the civil and military officials have to attend court with injuries? The Emperor glared daggers at Marquis Dongxiang, then turned to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and said, "What exactly happened?" The Minister of the Ministry of Justice hurriedly reported the events to the Emperor. The matter started three days ago. Since it was a Three Departments Joint Trial, when interrogating the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the presence of the Inspection Office and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice at the Ministry of Justice was necessary, and it couldn’t be done alone. The first day, the Left Imperial Censor was an hour late. They all waited idly at the Ministry of Justice for him. The second day, the Left Imperial Censor took leave, so naturally, he couldn’t go to the Ministry of Justice. The third day, they waited for him from morning until lunchtime, and only then did the Left Imperial Censor slowly arrive. With Marquis Dongxiang’s fiery temper, making him wait all morning was asking for trouble, wasn’t it? Marquis Dongxiang questioned why the Left Imperial Censor was so late, and the Left Imperial Censor blamed Duke Chong, saying Duke Chong had an urgent matter just as he was leaving, so he went to him. That one sentence cost him a nose. The Left Imperial Censor was rather foolish, wasn’t he? Had Marquis Dongxiang ever cared about Duke Chong? Pulling Duke Chong into this just fueled the fire and was practically asking for trouble. Moreover, this whole matter was targeting Duke Chong, who had pressured the Emperor with many officials, leading to the Three Departments Joint Trial. Lacking sufficient authority, Marquis Dongxiang tolerated it. Now Duke Chong even interfered with the trial, delaying the case indefinitely. To prevent him from secretly interrogating the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice and the Inspection Office sent official inspectors to the Ministry of Justice Prison specifically to keep watch. Every day, Marquis Dongxiang was on the verge of exploding, holding back repeatedly. At that moment, the Left Imperial Censor stroked his beard, and the result was predictable: Marquis Dongxiang lost his temper and gave him a punch, breaking his nose. If he had been let loose, the Left Imperial Censor’s household would be preparing for a funeral by now. After the Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s account, Marquis Dongxiang said, "Duke Chong’s matters are important, but are mine not?!" "Of all the people in the Inspection Office, it had to be the Left Imperial Censor? If he wants to see Duke Chong, I have no objection, let the Right Imperial Censor come to supervise the trial. He didn’t show up, nor did anyone from the Inspection Office. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and I waited for him all morning; breaking his nose is considered light. If I followed my old temper, he’d be in a wheelchair for life!" Marquis Dongxiang fumed. Marquis Dongxiang was the first to dare say such words in front of the Emperor. No! He was the second. Marquis Dongxiang’s words triggered a memory in the Emperor. That year under the peach tree, he too was beaten and scolded like, "Next time, I’ll break both your legs!" A little eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Chong requests an audience." Duke Chong had been fretting over not having something against Marquis Dongxiang, and now that it had been handed to him, could he let it go? Knowing that Duke Chong’s visit would not bring good news, the Emperor couldn’t just send him away. If this isn’t resolved now, the morning court session tomorrow wouldn’t proceed either. "Let him in," the Emperor said impatiently.
