Chapter 362 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" opens revealing: The sky was blue and the clouds were white, with bright sunshine.Under the shade of... Keep going!

The sky was blue and the clouds were white, with bright sunshine.Under the shade of a tree, Xingxing was making beggar’s chicken. Little Black was running around wildly, as if it had gone mad. There were shadows in its heart. It had stayed by Young Master Su’s feet and inexplicably got tied to a tree, its mouth bound so tightly it couldn’t make a sound. Now! Xingxing was making beggar’s chicken again. Little Black, worried that the same fate would befall it again, was frantically darting all around. Xingxing looked worried. She wasn’t too concerned if Little Black didn’t eat while it stayed in the backyard, but if it went outside for a spin, Xingxing couldn’t rest easy. Could someone have fed Little Black mad medicine? Little Black ran around madly for a while, and when it got tired, it lay panting under the tree, ignored by all. Xingxing added more firewood, using a fan to stir up the flames. Suddenly, Little Black stood up, startling Xingxing. Seeing Little Black running toward the wall’s corner, barking fiercely at it, Outside the wall stood two servants, holding a food box, nervously shivering. "Why do I feel like the Eldest Young Madam’s dog is barking at us?" one servant said. The other servant rolled his eyes. Is that a feeling? It’s obvious! "Stop dawdling." "Quickly throw the stuff over the wall," the servant urged. "You throw it," the other servant said. "You do it," the servant said. The two pushed each other. Little Black barked incessantly. "Throw it quickly, and run after you’re done!" the servant said. Xingxing called Su Jin out. From afar, they saw a roast chicken being thrown in. Su Jin, "...." Xingxing, "...." Little Black was startled, took off running. But after getting some distance, it hurriedly ran back. Snatching the roast chicken, it headed back under the shade of the tree. Though it had a full lunch, the frantic running left it feeling a bit hungry. Su Jin saw this and said, "Quick, don’t let it eat the roast chicken!" Just as Little Black was about to set down the roast chicken, Xingxing reached out and snatched the roast chicken away. Having its food taken, Little Black barked angrily at Xingxing. Xingxing wasn’t afraid of Little Black, Su Jin walked over, and Xingxing handed her the roast chicken. Su Jin took the roast chicken, stained with mud, and sniffed it. The skin was crispy, the meat fragrant, but there was a strong smell of arsenic. Su Jin’s face grew stern, her gaze icy cold. Xingxing had never seen Su Jin so upset, she asked fearfully, "Is the roast chicken poisoned?" "Little Black can’t stay at Duke Zhen Mansion anymore," Su Jin said. A single wall can stop Little Black from getting out, but it can’t stop others from throwing food in. Little Black can’t distinguish between what’s edible and what’s not. She couldn’t warn Little Black the way she would Xingxing. If one day they weren’t paying attention and Little Black ate the roast chicken, would it still survive? Looking at the roast chicken in her hand, Su Jin said, "Tie up Little Black, bring the roast chicken and follow me." Xingxing nodded repeatedly. Her beggar’s chicken was almost done. Xingxing ran over, added two sticks of firewood, tied Little Black with a chain, secured the other end to a post, and followed Su Jin out of the side courtyard. As Xingxing came out carrying a roast chicken, the maids and servants of the Agarwood Pavilion were all stunned. Todays’ dishes didn’t include roast chicken, where did this roast chicken come from? Recalling that Xingxing had asked the small kitchen for four chickens, could it be roasted in the backyard? Su Jin led Xingxing out of the Agarwood Pavilion. At a fork in the road, Xingxing said, "Miss, the main kitchen is over there." "To the outer courtyard," Su Jin said. "Huh?" Xingxing was baffled. Shouldn’t they be going to the main kitchen? All the roast chickens in the mansion were made by the main kitchen. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⁂fire.net Mrs. Zhou from the main kitchen roasted the best chickens, the small kitchen’s taste didn’t compare and wasted charcoal. Su Jin had eaten the main kitchen’s roast chicken, which was quite tasty. But it couldn’t compare to this roast chicken; the ingredients and knife skills were different. When Xingxing handed her the roast chicken to smell, it was still warm. By now, the main kitchen had long passed lunchtime, and it was still early for dinner; the main kitchen’s roast chickens were freshly roasted, and by this time, if there were any left, it would only be leftovers. Su Jin didn’t believe that the person who poisoned Little Black would patiently reheat the roast chicken. Moreover, poisoning her dog with roast chicken would inevitably lead her to pursue the matter. The main kitchen had a known number of roast chickens, she’d know with a quick check. Su Jin went to the second gate to ask if anyone had brought a food box or anything into the inner courtyard a quarter-hour ago. Having inquired, she then went to ask at the side gate. After the questioning, two servants were brought before Su Jin. The servants, seeing the roast chicken in Xingxing’s hand from afar, turned pale in fright. When they came closer, Su Jin immediately noticed the grease stains on one servant; she chuckled, "Very well, saves me the trouble of questioning; you’re already wearing the evidence." Following Su Jin’s gaze, the servant saw the oil from the roast chicken on himself. This was left from swinging the roast chicken just now, unnoticed when brushing against his clothes. Su Jin folded her arms, staring at them, "Do I need to resort to the rod before you confess?" Manager Li walked over and asked, "Eldest Young Madam, how have these two provoked you?" Su Jin didn’t want to elaborate, waving her hand she said, "Beat them!" "Beat them until they’re willing to confess!" Su Jin said coldly. Manager Li, seeing the servants’ trembling legs, knew they had indeed angered Su Jin. They must have had bear’s courage or leopard’s guts to dare provoke the Eldest Young Madam. A few servants brought over a bench, pinning the servants onto the board. Su Jin looked at them and said, "I bear no grudge against you, and I believe you wouldn’t oppose me for no reason." "Being a servant is hard, you must obey orders; confess now, and I won’t blame you. But if you stubbornly refuse to speak, I have other ways to uncover the truth, and by then, don’t blame me for being ruthless, disregarding your lives." Manager Li glanced at the two servants and said, "The Eldest Young Madam said she’d forgive you; confess quickly, have you ever seen anyone offend the Eldest Young Madam without consequences?" Su Jin, "...." Xingxing, "...." The two servants feared for their lives. The one to punish them was the Eldest Young Madam. She was someone who didn’t even take Princess Shouning seriously. So how could she care about their little lives? "We confess," the servant said hastily. "Speak quickly!" Xingxing urged. "It was Jiji, the maid from the Young Lady’s courtyard, who told me to buy the roast chicken from outside. I was too timid to throw the roast chicken outside the Agarwood Pavilion, so I lied, claiming the young lady asked Sanquan to accompany me for courage," the servant said. The servant Sanquan was furious. Good things never came to him, but matters risking his life dragged him along! Even in death, he wouldn’t let him go. While the servant confessed, quite a few maids gathered around to watch. Seeing Su Jin walk away, the roast chicken swinging in Xingxing’s hand. The maids silently mourned a few words for the young lady. Zilan Garden. Shangguan Feng’er was accompanying Xie Jinyu in a game of chess. Xie Jinyu hadn’t made a move for a while, lost in thought. Shangguan Feng’er, lacking patience, said, "What are you thinking about, make your move quickly." Xie Jinyu felt anxious and uneasy. After so many failures, she yearned for revenge, yet feared failure. She worried if, by chance, the Eldest Young Madam’s dog was poisoned to death, and the servant sent to poison it was caught, leading them to her, what would she do then?
