Chapter 461 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" begins revealing exciting developments: Unfortunately, this person is not Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang.It is Su Chong. The eldest grandson... Don’t stop now!

Unfortunately, this person is not Marquis Dongxiang and Mrs. Tang.It is Su Chong. The eldest grandson of Old Duke Chong. As a grandson, not allowing others to disturb his seriously ill grandfather is a demonstration of his filial piety and prudence. Old Madam Duke Chong sat with a cold expression, waiting for Su Chong to meet her. She waited for a full cup of tea’s time. Mrs. Tang only arrived leisurely. "It’s an honor to have the Old Madam here, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar," Mrs. Tang said with a smile. Old Madam Duke Chong scrutinized Mrs. Tang. The Duchess did the same, saying, "The Lady of Marquis Dongxiang looks very unfamiliar, have you also changed your appearance?" Mrs. Tang chuckled, "No matter who I was before or what I looked like, I’m now the Lady of Marquis Dongxiang." Old Madam Duke Chong looked at Mrs. Tang and said, "Tingting left Duke Chong’s Mansion at a young age, and it was Marquis Dongxiang and you who raised him." "Since he has returned to his roots, as his grandmother, shouldn’t he come to pay respects and offer me a cup of tea?!" "Is this how the Lady of Marquis Dongxiang taught him?!" Mrs. Tang looked at Old Madam Duke Chong and, with a slight smile, said, "Elder Sister-in-law is still ill, her body hasn’t recovered, once she is well, she will naturally bring Chongchong to pay you respects." "Although Chongchong does call me mother, I cannot stand in for this matter, I hope the Old Madam understands." The eyes of Old Madam Duke Chong were as cold as frost. The Duchess then challenged, "And the matter of Tingting being missing for fifteen years, isn’t the Lady of Marquis Dongxiang going to explain that?!" "For so many years, the Old Duke and the Old Madam missed the eldest young master to the point of being unable to sleep, their health deteriorating day by day!" Mrs. Tang cast a sidelong glance at the Duchess, "If the Duchess is here to call me to account, then please leave." "Having been a bandit for so many years, my temper is not good. You are Chongchong’s aunt, I do not wish for him to be caught in a difficult position between us." The Duchess exclaimed angrily, "What kind of attitude is this?!" "Attitude?" Mrs. Tang laughed. "Is the Duchess’s attitude to come here and boss me around?" As soon as Mrs. Tang finished speaking, a servant looked at the Duchess and said, "The Duchess had better show respect to my lady, or don’t blame us rough men for being impolite." A blatant threat. The Duchess was so angry her lips turned purple. She thought that upon becoming the second wife of the Jibei Marquis Mansion, her temper would subside, but nothing had changed. Even in the Capital City, noblewomen, even princess consorts and the empress, dared not speak to her like this! However, Mrs. Tang truly did not regard her at all. If it weren’t for the sake of Old Duke Chong, they wouldn’t even be able to enter the gates of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. Mrs. Tang was also too lazy to argue further with them, knowing they couldn’t prevent Old Madam Duke Chong from visiting Old Duke Chong, Mrs. Tang led them to Old Duke Chong’s residence. The training ground. Su Chong had just finished sparring with a few servants. Sweating profusely. After he stopped, a servant came to report the visit of Old Madam Duke Chong and the Duchess to see Old Duke Chong. That they would come was no surprise to Su Chong. But another matter reported by the servant caught his attention. "There are a few more people outside the Marquis Mansion, they are from the Imperial Censorate," the servant said. Su Chong’s lips curled into a cold arc. "They’ve come prepared," Su Chong said while rubbing his neck. "I’ll go teach them a lesson," the servant volunteered. "No, invite those servants in." "...." In front of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. A carriage slowly stopped. Xingxing first jumped off the carriage, then helped Su Jin down. There were no servants guarding the entrance of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, they were accustomed to this, and directly stepped into the mansion. After walking a dozen steps, a servant came over and said, "It’s so hot, why have the young lady and young master returned?" "Isn’t it obvious, it’s because we miss the Marquis and Madam, that’s why we came back," Xingxing said cheerfully. "Did the young master get spanked?" "...." The atmosphere of the two sentences was worlds apart. However, the cheerfulness of the previous sentence hadn’t been completely restrained before asking the next, making the latter question sound a bit expectant. "He was spanked, and he’s still lying on the bed now," the servant said. "Young lady, shall we go visit the young master," Xingxing said. Su Jin said nothing. The servant said, "Old Madam Duke Chong and the Duchess have arrived, Madam is accompanying them." Su Jin rolled her eyes upward, how could they have returned at such an inopportune time. "Young lady, you don’t have to worry about Madam," Xingxing said. "...." "I’m not worried." "... ..." This is, after all, the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. Su Jin wasn’t even worried about the Old Madam Duke Chong and the Duchess of Duke Chong, which was already good. If they had any chance against her mother, the sun would have to rise from the west. Su Jin lifted her foot and headed towards the courtyard where Old Duke Chong lived. Inside the room. Old Duke Chong lay on the bed, covered with a thin blanket. The room was filled with plenty of ice basins, making it more comfortable to sleep with a blanket. Coming in from the sun, the Old Madam Duke Chong felt a bit cold. She walked to the bedside, sat down by the bed, and held Old Duke Chong’s hand to talk. The Old Madam Duke Chong’s eyes were red, saying, "We have been husband and wife for many years, and now we’re old and apart. I’m here to take you back to the mansion... " Her words were drowned out by the creak of the door as Su Chong pushed it open. Su Chong had arrived. He came in reeking of sweat. The smell was strong— The Duchess felt overwhelmed by it but couldn’t raise her hand to cover her nose. She looked at Mrs. Tang, who looked at Su Chong and said, "Why didn’t you bathe before coming?" "The room is cold; be careful not to catch a chill." "Mother, I’m fine," Su Chong said. "The Old Madam and Aunt are here; I rushed over to pay my respects, and I’ll bathe later." Saying that, he looked at the Old Madam Duke Chong. He frowned a little. Words hung on the tip of his tongue. The Old Madam Duke Chong knitted her brows, "If you have something to say, just say it." "Please let go of Grandfather’s hand first," Su Chong said respectfully. "What?!" "Am I not even allowed to hold the Old Duke’s hand?!" the Old Madam Duke Chong looked displeased. Su Chong scratched his forehead, saying, "If you enjoy holding it, I definitely won’t object." "But the doctor had just forced the poison out of Grandfather, and there’s poisoned blood on his fingertips. Touching it could make you poisoned like him." The Old Madam Duke Chong’s face turned white. Just moments ago, they were deeply affectionate as husband and wife. Get full chapters from NoveI(F)ire.net Upon hearing about the poison, she immediately let go of Old Duke Chong’s hand. The Old Madam Duke Chong swiftly stood up from the bedside. Old Duke Chong’s hand fell heavily from mid-air, striking the edge of the bed. Mrs. Tang’s expression turned cold. Su Chong looked at the Old Madam, his voice laced with ridicule, "On such a hot day, the Old Madam is still here to visit Grandfather. It’s touching." "I couldn’t bear to see you and Grandfather parted, so I planned to send him back to Duke Chong’s Mansion, sparing you the trips back and forth." "I didn’t expect you to be in such good shape, standing up from the bed faster than I, who practice martial arts regularly." "At the moment you stood up, I dismissed that thought." This very much aligns with the style of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. You lose face. I’ll strip another layer of face off you. The Old Madam Duke Chong was just feeling embarrassed when Su Chong’s words left her utterly humiliated. She had just expressed how deeply she loved Old Duke Chong and couldn’t bear to be separated. But afraid of being poisoned, she let Old Duke Chong’s hand fall, which was undoubtedly a slap in her own face. The Old Madam Duke Chong gritted her teeth silently. But then, a sharp pain shot through her already unstable teeth, making her quickly release her grip. However— This wasn’t over yet. Mrs. Tang noticed several unfamiliar servants and asked, "Who are these people?" Su Chong wiped his sweat and said, "They’re from the Imperial Censorate." "Duke Chong always wanted to take Grandfather back. The Imperial Censorate has impeached Father more than a few times. I invited them here to see Grandfather so those censors wouldn’t keep thinking Father and I were restraining Grandfather, not allowing him to return." "Just now, the Old Madam dropped Grandfather’s hand, and these servants saw it." "Previously, the Lord Imperial Censor wasn’t aware and impeached Father without cause, but if it happens again, clinging to this matter, I’ll have to seek justice from the Imperial Censorate." The servants from the Imperial Censorate, "... ..." The servants looked at each other, confused. Who invited them here after all? Weren’t they supposed to witness the Old Madam Duke Chong fainting from heatstroke?
