Chapter 350 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" commences with: Half an hour ago.Prince Yu Mansion. Su Jin sat there watching the young ladies dance. With a... Don’t miss the next part!
Half an hour ago.Prince Yu Mansion.
Su Jin sat there watching the young ladies dance.
With a turn of her sleeves, she was enchanting and captivating.
The maid came over to change Su Jin’s tea.
There was nothing unusual about this; when the tea was finished or cold, the maid would replace it with new tea.
Su Jin casually lifted the lid of the teacup, and the rising steam carried a faintly bitter scent.
Su Jin looked down and saw the tea was slightly yellow.
Clearly, someone had tampered with her tea.
The Prince Yu Mansion had adjusted the banquet rules for her and extended the invitation very tactfully. They likely wouldn’t dare to poison her.
But Xie Jinyu and her group, who had previously poisoned her clothes without her reacting and just lost face, might very well be trying another trick.
This poison wasn’t lethal, but not long after drinking it, one would start belching uncontrollably.
Belching is quite normal and would just be seen as an upset stomach, and no one would suspect poison.
But to belch publicly would be more embarrassing than death!
Not only would it ruin her demeanor, but it would also disrupt Prince Yu’s lotus appreciation banquet.
Upon returning to the Duke Mansion, she would be punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall.
After kneeling for three days, she’d likely be barely alive.
Staring at the tea for a long while, Su Jin still picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After drinking the tea, she took an antidote to ensure she was unharmed.
She kept her eyes on Xie Jinyu’s table.
Seeing her drink the tea, Xie Jinyu and Shangguan Feng’er exchanged smug smiles, revealing who had poisoned her.
Fine.
Very well.
This grudge, she would remember.
Su Jin watched the dance while plotting how to teach Xie Jinyu and her group a lesson.
Xingxing might have failed, but the debt of poisoning her clothes wouldn’t be settled just like that.
Just as Su Jin decided what to do, Xie Jinyu began scratching her neck.
At first, it was just a little itchy, and Xie Jinyu didn’t pay much attention.
Coincidentally, it was her turn to perform on stage, and she had chosen to dance.
She managed through the first half of the dance, but in the second half, her performance faltered, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.
They had seen Xie Jinyu dance many times before; what was happening today?
"Her face seems swollen," a sharp-eyed girl commented. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ noⅴelfire.net
Indeed.
Xie Jinyu’s face swelled visibly.
Her whole body was unbearably itchy.
Unable to resist, Xie Jinyu started scratching in front of everyone.
Princess Yining went onto the stage to support her, but Xie Jinyu was in so much pain she rolled on the ground, terrifying everyone, including Su Jin.
Prince Yu Mansion hurriedly summoned the Imperial Physician for her.
The rest of the guests lost interest in continuing the banquet.
When the Imperial Physician diagnosed Xie Jinyu with poisoning, fear spread, everyone worried they might share her fate.
Princess Consort Yu ordered the Imperial Physician to inspect the food.
Just as she finished giving instructions, Xingxing ran over and grabbed Su Jin’s cloud sleeves, urgently saying, "Miss, something happened at the Marquis Mansion, we should hurry back."
"What happened at the Marquis Mansion?" Su Jin’s heart leaped.
"Something extremely urgent."
Su Jin hastily bid farewell to Princess Consort Yu and left.
Su Chong stood aside, puzzled.
Why did Xingxing know something happened at the Marquis Mansion, but he didn’t?
However, with his father leaving the capital today, something could have indeed gone wrong.
Su Chong and others also took their leave.
The group quickly exited Prince Yu Mansion.
The carriage driver had already stopped the carriage at the mansion’s gate.
Su Chong asked Xingxing, "What happened at the Marquis Mansion?"
Xingxing didn’t speak.
Once Su Jin was in the carriage, Xingxing climbed in.
Su Chong, "...."
He looked at Chu Shun and said, "Can’t you see me?"
"You were ignored," Chu Shun remarked seriously.
"...."
Su Chong mounted his horse.
Inside the carriage, Su Jin sat down, about to ask what happened, when she saw Xingxing burst into tears.
She furrowed her brow and asked, "What’s happened?"
Xingxing didn’t speak, silently revealing her hand from under her sleeve.
Su Jin, "...!!!"
Su Jin was stunned.
Was she seeing a hand or a pig’s trotter?
"Why is it so swollen?" Su Jin asked.
"Miss, will I die?" Xingxing cried sadly.
Prince NanAn lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at Xingxing’s hand, swollen enough to rival a pig’s trotter, and his mouth twitched.
Su Jin looked at Xingxing’s hand, utterly confused.
She had instructed Xingxing to poison Xie Jinyu.
But her poison was supposed to only cause unbearable itching, not swelling.
"Did something happen that I don’t know about?" Su Jin asked.
Xingxing averted her eyes.
"Tell me the truth," Su Jin demanded.
Xingxing cried, "I crafted some poison using your method, always looking for a chance to test its effects. When you told me to poison the young lady, I thought to try my concoction."
Su Jin, "...."
"But I crafted a poison meant to cause itching. I don’t know how it turned into something that causes both itching and swelling," Xingxing wailed.
Su Chong and the others felt their foreheads covered in lines of exasperation.
What a remarkable maid.
Claiming to have crafted poison, she truly acted on it.
Xingxing had even mentioned this to Su Chong.
Su Chong had assumed Xingxing was joking.
Never did he expect her to actually be so proactive.
Apparently, she had been greatly influenced by his father on Qingyun Mountain.
As Marquis Dongxiang would often say—
"In everything, one must be brave enough to try."
"Attempts may fail, but without trying, you’ll never succeed."
"This maid is a natural poison-making talent," Prince NanAn sighed.
"It’s one thing to harm others, but to bring this upon herself," Chu Shun remarked, holding his forehead.
"Fortunately, she was smart enough to retreat and avoid getting discovered in Prince Yu Mansion; otherwise, we’d not know how to handle the fallout," remarked the Heir of Marquis Beining.
Even a little maid from Qingyun Mountain being this clever was unbelievable.
Xingxing remained worried about whether the poison she was affected with could be cured. Having never concocted a poison with these symptoms, Su Jin was uncertain.
After checking Xingxing’s pulse, Su Jin gave her another antidote, saying, "When we return to the Marquis Mansion, soak in vinegar for half an hour, and you’ll be fine."
Xingxing felt her anxious heart finally settle.
Prince Yu Mansion.
The Imperial Physician inspected everyone’s tea and pastries.
Princess Consort Yu asked, "Is there any problem with the food?"
The Imperial Physician hesitated, then said, "There’s no issue with others’ tea, but..."
"But what?" Princess Consort Yu asked urgently.
"Someone tampered with the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s tea," the Imperial Physician spoke with a somewhat drifting tone.
Princess Consort Yu’s face changed. She stood up in shock.
"How could someone poison it?!"
"What kind of poison is it?"
The Imperial Physician truthfully reported, "It’s not a lethal poison; it just causes gastrointestinal discomfort and excessive belching."
Princess Consort Yu, "...."
"Did the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen drink it?" Princess Consort Yu’s voice trembled.
"When I checked, there was only half a cup left," the Imperial Physician replied.
Princess Consort Yu was visibly relieved.
Thankfully, something happened at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, and the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen left early.
If she had been affected by the poison at Prince Yu Mansion, she would have lost face in public, and Prince Yu Mansion would not know how to handle it.
In private, excessive belching is not a serious matter.
