Chapter 458 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" starts with dramatic events: Su Jin’s words nearly choked the Third Madam.No way around it. Lady Chi’s handwriting is truly... Discover what happens!

Su Jin’s words nearly choked the Third Madam.No way around it. Lady Chi’s handwriting is truly beautiful. When compared, it’s far above the Third Madam and Princess Nanzhang. Not even able to match a concubine, what kind of prestigious lady is she? This slap wasn’t loud, but it was painful enough. The Third Madam’s gaze turned cold. "Since it was brought by Nanliang, why didn’t you admit it earlier?!" Princess Nanzhang said. "Mother, this is the same as me questioning Third Aunt why she didn’t mention anything when the purse was lost before," replied Su Jin. Hmm. Another blow directed at the Third Madam. No one can prove Lady Chi’s words are true. But also no one can prove the Third Madam’s words are true. This is a deadlock. To put it bluntly, Princess Nanzhang simply dislikes Lady Chi and is looking for faults. Nitpicking. And indeed, there are some bones to pick. Princess Nanzhang wants to get to the bottom of it, and Su Jin finds it difficult to shield Lady Chi. But continuing to punish Lady Chi by making her kneel is impossible. Both sides are at an impasse. Prince Zhenbei Mansion. The Prince returned from the military camp. Just as he dismounted, Manager Li approached and said, "Prince, Lady Chi is being punished by Princess Nanzhang, kneeling in Peony Garden. The Heir’s wife has also gone there, you should take a look." Manager Li really couldn’t figure out what the Heir’s wife was thinking. Just because Lady Chi saved the Heir’s wife’s dog. The Heir’s wife is unreservedly devoting her heart to Lady Chi. The Heir’s wife’s interactions with people are unrelated to their status. The Prince’s brows furrowed tightly. Although he hadn’t favored Lady Chi, she was still his concubine. Completely ignoring it surely wouldn’t do. Then— The Prince went to Peony Garden. Seeing a crowd gathered, the Prince displeasedly asked, "What’s going on here?" Mrs. Zhao quickly relayed the events to the Prince. Princess Nanzhang had no desire to speak with the Prince. The Third Madam said, "Prince, you’ve come just in time. The Heir’s wife is protecting Lady Chi; this matter, Elder Sister cannot handle." The Prince looked at Su Jin. He frowned slightly and asked, "Where’s that ten thousand silver note?" "It’s in the room," Su Jin replied. "Go fetch it," the Prince instructed. Su Jin didn’t understand why the Prince wanted this. Xingxing said, "I’ll fetch it." She dashed out of Peony Garden. She ran all the way back to Agarwood Pavilion and then ran back. Panting heavily, sweat beads covered her forehead. She handed two five-thousand silver notes to the Prince. After examining them, the Prince said, "These silver notes are indeed from Nanliang." Su Jin, "...". Xingxing, "...". Are these silver notes really from Nanliang? How did they not notice? However, it’s not just her who didn’t notice. "Isn’t the Prince biased towards the Heir’s wife?!" Princess Nanzhang coldly remarked. The Prince glanced at her, "Nanliang silver notes and Daqi Dynasty silver notes look similar, but they are from different countries; the silver notes cannot be exactly the same." "Bring a five-thousand silver note for a comparison," the Prince ordered. Mrs. Zhao quickly went back inside and fetched a five-thousand silver note. She carefully compared them, then looked at Princess Nanzhang with a displeased expression. "The silver notes are indeed different," Mrs. Zhao said. Su Jin looked at the Third Madam, "Now the silver note is verified as from Nanliang, does Third Aunt have any evidence to prove the silver note is from your maternal family’s brother and sister-in-law?" The Third Madam’s face changed colors between green, red, and purple. "If you can’t prove it, it’s your fault for letting Mother punish Lady Chi by kneeling the whole day without clarifying the facts, showing partiality and making an unjust decision, hurting your reputation," Su Jin smiled and said. Su Jin’s words once again proved Princess Nanzhang cannot be the mistress of the household. This is the hatred deep in Princess Nanzhang’s heart. Su Jin spoke out directly in front of the Prince, making Princess Nanzhang’s face look as terrible as possible.

"Lady Chi is just a concubine, having ten thousand silver notes on her is abnormal." The Prince glanced at Su Jin and said, "What does the Heir’s wife think is the appropriate way to handle this?" Su Jin tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since it’s true that Third Aunt’s maternal family’s brother and sister-in-law lost ten thousand silver notes, and it’s confirmed lost within the mansion, why not have Mother help find the ten thousand silver notes for Third Aunt’s maternal family’s brother and sister-in-law?" "Previously, nobody knew about this, which doesn’t conflict with the mansion’s reputation. Now that it’s spreading, if we don’t help them find the silver notes, outsiders might think the mansion picked up things and didn’t return them, harming our image." The Third Madam, "...!!!" Princess Nanzhang, "...!!!" The Prince’s lips curled slightly. Chenchen’s wife is truly smart. It’s the pit they dug themselves. They have to jump in themselves. "Well, find that ten thousand silver notes. If you don’t find it within ten days, the internal affairs of the Prince Mansion will be handed over to the Heir’s wife for management!" The Prince decisively stated. Princess Nanzhang nearly ground her silver teeth to pieces. The Prince had other matters to attend to and left. As he was leaving, his gaze skimmed over Lady Chi’s face. Lady Chi did not dare meet his eyes. It seems... Lady Chi has never truly looked at him? This realization displeased the Prince. At least he helped her a bit just now. Even if speechless, a bow could suffice as thanks; she not only didn’t express gratitude, but she even avoided him. The Prince brushed off this slight displeasure that barely affected his mood and strode away in large steps. Su Jin supported Lady Chi and said, "I’ll assist you back." Xingxing supported Xique. Although the kneeling time wasn’t long, the stone ground was scorchingly hot. Both of their knees were burned. Xingxing not only fetched the silver notes, but she also brought ointment. It must be said this maid is truly clever and attentive. "The room is very stuffy," Xingxing said. "Let’s go to the ice cellar later, and afterwards send ice blocks to Qingqiu Garden, including the previous ones," Su Jin said. "Yes, yes, later I’ll go," Xingxing said happily. Su Jin told Lady Chi to raise her skirt and she helped to apply the medicine. Lady Chi was unwilling. Xique said, "Madam has scars on her body, she doesn’t want the Heir’s wife to see them." "Scars?" Su Jin was taken aback. "Madam’s body has many whip marks." Su Jin’s face turned cold. While Lady Chi was stunned, Su Jin lifted her skirt to knee height. Her calves had quite a few whip marks. Xingxing gasped. "How...?" "Why are there so many whip marks?!" "Who hit her so hard?!" Lady Chi shook her head. Xique choked, "Madam says it doesn’t hurt anymore." Is this really a matter of no pain? It may not hurt now, but what about when she was beaten? Xingxing had been whipped herself. Though accidentally, while helping the young lady, it hurt for half a day. She didn’t have scars and didn’t bleed. These scars hadn’t faded, surely she was severely whipped back then. They always thought Lady Chi only had facial injuries, they didn’t expect injuries on her body too. Even her calves had so many marks, let alone other parts. Xingxing felt a sourness in her nose. Su Jin, aside from sympathizing with Lady Chi, grew more curious. Someone with so many whip marks on their body yet has ten thousand silver notes. This stark contrast— Raises Su Jin’s uncontrollable curiosity about Lady Chi’s identity.
