What happens in Chapter 366 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband"? Xie Jingchen was reading in the study.Almost two quarters of an hour later, Su Jin... Read on to find out!
Xie Jingchen was reading in the study.Almost two quarters of an hour later, Su Jin and Xingxing passed through the study to the backyard.
Su Jin was holding the new clothes she had made for Little Black.
After a while, a Hidden Guard entered the study and said, "Young Master, giving up on having the Eldest Young Madam make your brocade robe was wise."
The fact that the Hidden Guard went out of his way to say this showed how ugly the clothes Su Jin made for Little Black were.
"How ugly are they?" Xie Jingchen asked.
"..."
"As if they were covered in scars, not long for this world," the Hidden Guard stifled a laugh.
Xie Jingchen, "..."
From the Hidden Guard’s description, Xie Jingchen couldn’t picture it.
He put the book down and took a glance at the backyard.
Little Black was in a frenzy.
Running wildly around the backyard, wrapped in a piece of silk, extremely ugly.
From Little Black’s face, Xie Jingchen sensed disdain.
Su Jin was sitting on the steps in front of the bamboo house, her hand covering her eyes, probably because she couldn’t bear to look at her masterpiece.
Xingxing was rubbing her cheeks.
It wasn’t from laughing too hard; it was when she was helping Little Black put the clothes on and got kicked by him.
She was helping the young lady mess with him, so getting kicked was what she deserved.
Seeing the Hidden Guard approaching, Xingxing quickly said, "Hurry and catch Little Black, take the clothes off him."
Hidden Guard, "..."
Strip?
Just take them off, why use such a rough word.
To avoid sullying the Young Master and Eldest Young Madam’s eyes, the Hidden Guard quickly caught Little Black and pulled the clothes off him.
Originally, Little Black and the Hidden Guard had a lukewarm relationship; after this incident, Little Black and the Hidden Guard got along better, actually circling around him.
Xie Jingchen came over, trying hard not to laugh.
Su Jin said irritably, "What are you laughing at?"
"What’s so funny!"
Xie Jingchen cleared his throat and said, "If you want to learn needlework, I can find an embroideress to teach you."
"I don’t want to learn!" Su Jin said.
Xie Jingchen didn’t say anything; he was just mentioning it casually. Whether Su Jin wanted to learn or not was up to her.
Xingxing then said, "Of course you should learn. Once we have a little miss or little master, it would be so pitiful if others all have clothes made by their own mothers, and they don’t."
Su Jin blushed and glared at Xingxing. For more chapters visit novelꞁire.net
"Hurry and go fetch the bundle Lady Chi gave," Su Jin urged.
Xingxing quickly ran off.
Xie Jingchen had a headache.
Su Jin looked at him and asked, "Why does Lady Chi make you so many brocade robes?"
There were three sets in the bundle, and more were being made.
Xie Jingchen sat down next to Su Jin.
The Hidden Guard was stunned; the Young Master actually just sat at the door with the Eldest Young Madam like that, not far from the bench.
Xie Jingchen talked about Lady Chi making brocade robes for him.
This matter was related to Chu Shun.
Lady Chi always wore a mask. Back when they were young, they wandered everywhere and accidentally entered Lady Chi’s Qingqiu Garden.
At that time, Lady Chi was wearing a veil, as beautiful as a painting.
Chu Shun was curious about what Lady Chi looked like.
Actually, Xie Jingchen was also quite curious.
When one person is timid, more people give courage, and the courage fattens up.
Back then, he was seven years old, Chu Shun was six. It was the time to be mischievous; when Lady Chi wasn’t paying attention, Chu Shun removed the veil from her face.
Lady Chi’s face had several scars, scarred and wounded.
They were really scared at the time.
They ran directly out of Qingqiu Garden back then.
But at that time, he was after all six or seven years old. They unilaterally removed her veil, rude from the beginning; her beauty was destroyed, not a human wish.
At that time, he and Chu Shun had little money, so they pooled their resources together to buy the best scar-removing ointment through Manager Li and then went to Lady Chi to apologize.
She accepted the ointment and made a brocade robe for each of them.
Chu Shun only got one set, but after that, Lady Chi made him brocade robes every year, at least eight sets.
Xie Jingchen had told Lady Chi more than once to stop making them for him; he had so many brocade robes he couldn’t wear them all. But she was stubborn, even Old Master Xie wondered why she liked making brocade robes for Xie Jingchen so much, while he, the nominal husband, only got one set during New Year’s.
Lady Chi said she had nothing to do, so she did needlework to pass the time; Old Master Xie let her be.
Xie Jingchen felt guilty, so every time Lady Chi sent brocade robes, he would send something back in thanks.
Qingqiu Garden had few people, only one old lady and one maid.
Xie Jingchen couldn’t go himself, so he had the maid pass it on.
After hearing Xie Jingchen’s words, Su Jin still couldn’t figure out why Lady Chi kept sending brocade robes; she sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Xie Jingchen asked, puzzled.
"I’m also interested in Lady Chi’s face. Her eyes are so beautiful; her appearance can’t be bad, but I didn’t expect she wore a veil because she was disfigured," Su Jin said.
"On the way back, Xingxing and I were even guessing if she might be Zhao Xu’s real mother."
"She is a Nanliang person and staying in Duke Zhen Country Mansion, never stepping out its gates, even I’ve only seen her for the first time; if the Right Minister of Nanliang wants to find her, he definitely can’t," Su Jin said.
"Was she injured before entering Duke Zhen Country Mansion or after?" Su Jin asked curiously.
Xie Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "She entered Duke Chong’s Mansion when I was three years old. In my impression, she always wore a veil and never spoke, so it should have been before."
"A disfigured woman who can’t speak sent to your father as a concubine, doesn’t that seem strange to you?" Su Jin asked.
Xie Jingchen looked at her and said, "Nanliang originally sent a woman skilled at playing the pipa to my father. My father couldn’t refuse and accepted, but it turned out to be her when she arrived."
Su Jin, "..."
"Father couldn’t understand the purpose behind Nanliang’s actions, so he settled her in Qingqiu Garden."
"She has been there for fifteen years," Xie Jingchen said.
"..."
"Princess Nanzhang and the others suspected Lady Chi of being a spy, but Father thought Nanliang wouldn’t be foolish enough to send such a person as a spy. She has never caused trouble for the Duke Mansion all these years; the most outrageous thing she did was make me a brocade robe," Xie Jingchen said with melancholy.
Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen and asked, "Could she be Zhao Xu’s mother then?"
Promising to help find someone’s mother means it can’t be taken lightly.
Lady Chi was the only Nanliang person they knew.
A woman full of secrets.
Su Jin thought the possibility was high.
It seemed her luck was out of this world.
Xie Jingchen had seen Lady Chi’s face, so Su Jin went back into the house to retrieve that painting and show it to Xie Jingchen.
Xie Jingchen, "..."
He was speechless.
He had only seen Lady Chi once when he was seven.
He had been frightened by the scars on her face; except for the scars, he hadn’t seen anything else. Even if he remembered, he’d forgotten most of it.
Xingxing, being impulsive, said, "Why don’t we just lift her veil and take a look?"
Su Jin frowned.
"No!" she said firmly.
For a woman, beauty is too important.
Lady Chi being disfigured and unable to speak, living on with such strength, requires immense courage.
This is her wound, a wound that cannot be touched.
Even if helping someone find a mother, it shouldn’t be done this way.
