Chapter 343 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" begins with intriguing events: Xingxing looked around.By chance, her eyes met with those of Coral, the maid of Princess... Don’t miss it!

Xingxing looked around.By chance, her eyes met with those of Coral, the maid of Princess Fu Yun. Xingxing had once lost to Coral. Towards her. Xingxing had a deep impression. "Miss, Princess Fu Yun from Prince Yun Mansion and the Right Minister’s daughter have arrived," Xingxing said cheerfully. It’s rare to meet two acquaintances. Zhou Jingyi also saw Su Jin, and she was thinking of finding an opportunity to thank Su Jin. She walked over with Princess Fu Yun. Seeing the pavilion crowded with people. The two were between laughter and tears. It wasn’t that they came too early, but that everyone was in the pavilion. After exchanging greetings, Zhou Jingyi looked at Su Jin and said shamefully, "I’ve been unwell these past few days and haven’t gone out. I was planning to visit Duke Zhen Country Mansion in a few days to thank you." "Thank me?" Su Jin raised an eyebrow. "Yes," Zhou Jingyi replied. "If it weren’t for the method you taught me, I wouldn’t have saved the Ninth Prince in the palace," Zhou Jingyi said. Not to mention the great merit of saving a prince’s life. That day, the Empress Dowager called her mother into the palace intending to marry Princess Shouning to her brother. Her mother didn’t know how to refuse the Empress Dowager’s proposal, but then she saved the Ninth Prince and earned a merit. The Right Minister’s Wife, who was anxious and worried, felt relieved, making the refusal of the Empress Dowager more solid, merely saying that a Taoist had foretold it was unsuitable for her brother to marry within six months. The incident of Princess Shouning being punished to recite palace rules and the Empress being stripped of the Phoenix Seal had spread both inside and outside the palace. Setting an engagement for Princess Shouning at this time was obviously to help her and also to use her to win over the Right Minister Mansion. No matter which reason, the Right Minister Mansion didn’t want to get involved. A marriage not suitable within six months, and an engagement would not help Princess Shouning at all. The Right Minister’s Wife tactfully refused the match, and both the Empress Dowager and the Empress could understand. If the Empress Dowager played dumb and asked again, the Right Minister’s Wife could speak more seriously, saying if a marriage took place within six months, it might harm both parents. The weight of filial piety meant the Young Master Zhou of the Right Minister Mansion couldn’t marry either. Moreover, Princess Shouning’s marriage required the Emperor’s consent. Of course— If Princess Shouning wished to marry and the Right Minister Mansion was willing, combined with pressure from the Empress Dowager and Duke Chong, even if the Emperor was unwilling, he could do nothing. Princess Fu Yun had few friends, and the Right Minister’s daughter was one. Su Jin thus became close confidantes with them. Princess Yining of Prince Yu Mansion tried all four lipsticks’ colors and chose coral red as her favorite. To match the lip color, she went back to the room to redo her hair and changed her dress. Su Jin, "...". The banquet was still early, so everyone strolled leisurely in the garden. Su Jin stood in front of a pot of camellias. In the distance, some noble ladies whispered. "I heard this year’s competition rules have changed," one noble lady said. "Changed to what?" another noble lady curiously asked. "I don’t know yet," the noble lady shook her head. "Why suddenly change the rules?" another girl curiously asked. "I heard it’s because the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion and the Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion are also participating," a noble lady remarked. "The rules were changed for them." Su Jin, "...". Xingxing, "...". The two perked up their ears to eavesdrop. "No wonder," a noble lady commented. "The competition at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet mostly involves zithers, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and essays. They come from Qingyun Mountain and are bandits; how could they know these," a girl whispered. "Prince Yu Mansion is afraid of the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion." "After all, the previous rules demanded participation; if she did, she’d be embarrassed. If she didn’t, it would seem like she disregarded Prince Yu Mansion’s rules. Everyone gathered here, so she couldn’t be the exception." "To avoid awkwardness, Prince Yu Mansion simply changed the rules but we don’t know how they’ve changed." After hearing this, Xingxing looked at Su Jin and said, "Prince Yu Mansion is quite thoughtful." Su Jin nodded. For now, it seemed quite nice. While Su Jin and Xingxing were pleased, on the other side, someone was not happy, and indeed, very unhappy. The first was the First Lady of Duke Chong’s Mansion, Shangguan Feng’er. She looked at Princess Yining and said, "I was counting on you to vent my anger and embarrass that female bandit, yet you changed the rules for her?!" "The rules were changed by my mother concubine," Princess Yining responded. "Anyone who crossed paths with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion ended up unlucky; our Prince Yu Mansion dares not provoke her." Princess Yining spoke the truth from her heart. Although she had a good relationship with Shangguan Feng’er and others, she also maintained good relations with other noble ladies. Playing together was possible, but helping her harm someone was absolutely not. She had no enmity with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion. Moreover, those who ran into problems with Su Jin met bad ends; Princess Shouning and the Empress were still in trouble. She certainly took it as a warning. Besides, it was the first time the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion visited Prince Yu Mansion, while she often interacted with Xie Jinyu daily. If she truly wanted to plot against her, Xie Jinyu would have had plenty of opportunities. Not taking action in Duke Zhen Mansion, yet asking her to act, wasn’t that dragging her into the water? She wasn’t that foolish. A maid came to find Princess Yining, and she left. Shangguan Feng’er was so angry her face flushed. "Why get so angry?" Xie Jinyu laughed. "What talent can one expect from a band of bandits? Whether they go on stage for the competition or not, their face is in the mud, anyone can step on it." "I’ve prepared another good show for her, and you’ll be satisfied." "Then I’ll just wait and see," Shangguan Feng’er said. "Come, let’s watch the show," Xie Jinyu said confidently. ... The lotus pond of Prince Yu Mansion was large. The clustered lotus leaves were like jade carvings. The graceful lotuses competed in splendor under the scorching sun. With a gentle breeze, the jade leaves whispered like waves, and the lotuses swayed like beauties dancing. Laughter continually came from the pond’s edge. A group of noble young ladies was chatting softly while playing blind man’s bluff. Xie Jinxiu walked over, and Xie Jinyu playfully nudged her, causing the blindfold to cover her eyes, as she was caught. Xie Jinyu gave her a look and said, "It doesn’t count; it should be you, big sister, who catches people." "Next time, you can take a turn pushing me," Xie Jinyu said. What could Xie Jinxiu do? She could only cover her eyes and start catching people. Check latest chapters at novel⁂fire.net Xie Jinyu personally helped Xie Jinxiu cover her eyes. Xie Jinxiu caught another noble lady in just a moment. The woman who was caught glared at Su Jin, her face purple with anger. "What’s got you so worked up?" Xie Jinyu asked. "I was counting on you to seek justice for me and give that female bandit some embarrassment, yet you changed the rules for her?!" the girl snapped. "It was my mother concubine who changed the rules," Princess Yining said. "Anyone who messes with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion has bad luck. My Prince Yu Mansion doesn’t dare provoke her." Princess Yining expressed her genuine thoughts. Although she had a good relation with Shangguan Feng’er and her cohort, she also got along well with other noble ladies. They could have fun together, but she absolutely wouldn’t help her harm others. After all, she had no grievances with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen Mansion. Moreover, whoever crossed paths with Su Jin didn’t fare well, and Princess Shouning and the Empress were still in the pit; of course, she should take it as a warning. What’s more, it was her first time coming to Prince Yu Mansion, but she was with Xie Jinyu day in and day out. If she really wanted to plot against her, Xie Jinyu would have plenty of opportunities. Without taking action in Duke Zhen Mansion, yet coming to find her, isn’t it dragging her into the water? She wasn’t willing to be so foolish. Shanhu came over to find Princess Yining. Shangguan Feng’er was so angry that her face turned purple. "Why are you so angry?" Xie Jinyu laughed. "Why not just watch the fun?" Xie Jinyu said with full confidence.
