Chapter 439 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" opens with suspenseful action: Prince NanAn just arrived in front of the study.He heard his father say, "Tell him... Keep going!

Prince NanAn just arrived in front of the study.He heard his father say, "Tell him to get lost." Prince NanAn: "..." Never seen his own father so petty. It was just a chicken feather duster that got broken. He wasn’t even mad. What’s he angry about?! Prince NanAn was about to leave when another voice called out, "Let the Commandery Prince in, I have something to ask him." That sounded like the voice of Prince Zhenbei? What does he have to ask him? He doesn’t know as much as Brother Jingchen does. With doubts in his mind, Prince NanAn turned and entered the study. Upon pushing the door open, he saw his father’s face fully expressing dissatisfaction towards him. In contrast, Prince Zhenbei looked gentle. For a moment, Prince NanAn wondered who his real father was after all. The Prince unfolded the picture and asked Prince NanAn, "Was it Chenchen who asked you to find the person in the painting?" Prince NanAn was speechless. "Uncle, you don’t also suspect the person in the painting is Brother Jingchen’s love interest, do you?" Prince NanAn said, twitching at the lips. This was the biggest misunderstanding they suffered this year. Being misunderstood was bad enough. Brother Jingchen is already married, yet still being misunderstood like this. For someone who would never be the henpecked, he could only ever be someone else’s love interest in this lifetime. Prince NanAn: "..." He gave Prince NanAn a harsh glare, "Speak properly!" Prince NanAn hurriedly said, "The person in the painting wasn’t asked to be found by Brother Jingchen." "Not?" The Prince furrowed his brows slightly. "It was Zhao Xu, the son of Prime Minister Zhao from Nanliang, who asked us to help find her," Prince NanAn stated truthfully. "The person in the painting is his biological mother and is about to turn thirty-four in a month." Such an age, not younger than their mothers, and yet was mistaken as their romantic interest. It’s not an exaggeration to say— This misunderstanding sent shivers down their spines. The Prince’s brows knotted tightly. Prince NanAn was bewildered. Isn’t the person in the portrait the birth mother of the Zhenbei heir? How did she become the real mother of the son of Nanliang’s Prime Minister Zhao? When he guessed earlier, Brother Xie didn’t deny it. Seeing the Prince’s expression, Prince NanAn was confident he hadn’t guessed wrong. He wouldn’t be so eager to find him if he didn’t recognize the person in the painting. Prince NanAn looked at Prince NanAn and asked, "Where is the person in the painting now?" "Haven’t found her yet," Prince NanAn said. "Is it certain that the person in the painting is still alive?" Prince NanAn asked. "That I don’t know," Prince NanAn shook his head. "Brother Zhao said that Nanliang’s Prime Minister Zhao told him his biological mother, the person in the painting, was in our Daqi Capital, so he came all the way here to find her." "If it weren’t for his great fortune, encountering Brother Jingchen and his sister-in-law’s help, he would have been buried in our Daqi," Prince NanAn sighed. He was a bit worried about Zhao Xu. When he came, he had a bunch of followers protecting him, but only two survived. Who knows what dangers await him on his way back. Although Zhao Xu is gentle and refined, he is similar to them in his bones. This return trip, Prime Minister Zhao of Nanliang will surely feel his son has been led astray. If it weren’t for Nanliang being so far away, they would really consider sending Zhao Xu back and taking in the southern scenery. The Prince’s brows were furrowed deeply. "Where is the son of Prime Minister Zhao of Nanliang now?" the Prince asked. "He returned to Nanliang," Prince NanAn said. "Prime Minister Zhao had an incident, and he rushed back a few days ago. Before he left, he asked us to continue helping him search." The Prince didn’t speak further. Then Prince NanAn asked, "Do you know Young Master Zhao’s birthdate?" Prince NanAn looked at Prince NanAn in puzzlement. This is too detailed, isn’t it? Young Master Zhao’s birthdate didn’t concern him, but surprisingly, his father cared. "Brother Zhao looks a year younger than Brother Jingchen, but is actually a month older, born on the 26th," Prince NanAn said. The Prince was startled. The kind of amazement that surprised not only Prince NanAn, but even Prince NanAn felt something was off. Something’s up. Absolutely something’s up. Prince NanAn didn’t dare to ask further. The Prince stabilized his mind, rolled up the painting, and said, "I’ll take my leave first." Prince NanAn escorted the Prince out of the mansion. After the Prince rode away, Prince NanAn looked at Prince NanAn and said, "Father, could the person in the painting be...?" "Do not speculate," Prince NanAn said. "...." His father’s attitude... The person in the painting couldn’t really be Brother Jingchen’s biological mother, could it? Then how could Brother Jingchen’s biological mother also be Brother Zhao’s mother? Could they be twins? But Brother Zhao is older than Brother Jingchen. He understood. Prince Zhenbei must have been afraid someone would deduce his mother’s identity from Brother Jingchen’s birthdate, so he pushed it back by more than a month. Prince NanAn guessed half right. The Prince didn’t know what Xie Jingchen’s actual birthdate was. He set the day he met Xie Jingchen as his birthday. He had a midwife calculate the timing. Plus, from the capital of Nanliang to the border, taking a child would take about a month. Riding on horseback, the Prince felt unsettled. He had only met with the Prime Minister Zhao of Nanliang once, but he could sense his admiration for Hengyang. Yet, he was a gentleman, hiding his affection well. What did he mean by saying Hengyang was in the Capital? Wasn’t Hengyang said to have perished in childbirth long ago? He had gone to Nanliang, and even dug up Hengyang’s grave, indeed finding her remains. Even having seen it with his own eyes, he had never dared to truly believe she was dead. But the Donglin Prince Mansion had already been exterminated. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ????????????????????✶????????????????✶???????????? If Hengyang wasn’t dead, could she come to Daqi alone to find him? And then there’s Young Master Zhao... Could it be that Hengyang had twin sons back then? Or was Chenchen not his own? Questions popped up one after another. Prince Zhenbei suppressed these thoughts, rode back to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion. He locked himself in his study for half a day. And then summoned the Hidden Guard. "What are your orders, my Prince?" the Hidden Guard asked. "Take some people to Nanliang, ensure the absolute safety of Young Master Zhao, and investigate his lineage," the Prince instructed. "My Prince...?" The Hidden Guard was a bit confused. The Hidden Guard didn’t agree with the Prince’s actions. Prince Zhenbei Mansion held a strong military. Though Nanliang and the Daqi Dynasty hadn’t gone to war, their relationship was not particularly good. The Prince openly sending people to protect the son of Prime Minister Zhao from Nanliang could be accused of colluding with the enemy if impeached. Without a reason, the Hidden Guard wouldn’t go. He couldn’t knowingly watch the master make a mistake and accompany him into the fire pit. "He might be my son," the Prince said. The Hidden Guard was taken aback. In disbelief. "Are you sure, my Prince?" the Hidden Guard asked. "This matter is yet to be confirmed. If he has doubts, just say you were sent by Chenchen," the Prince said. "Understood," the subordinate complied. If he is the Prince’s son, then he is the Young Master. He carries the blood of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, making him a person of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion. As the Hidden Guard prepared to leave, the Prince added, "When you see Prime Minister Zhao of Nanliang, ask him what he means by Hengyang being in the Capital." Young Master Zhao struggled through near-death to come to Daqi. Then Prime Minister Zhao had an incident. The Prince suspected Prime Minister Zhao deliberately sent Zhao Xu to Daqi to keep him out of danger. The more this was the case, the more it indicated Prime Minister Zhao’s situation was dangerous. Zhao Xu brought a portrait to find someone. It’s not certain he could find his biological mother. But he would definitely be found by him.
