Chapter 463 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" introduces the scene: "Why are you running so fast?" Su Jin asked."I’m afraid the Old Duke will return... Keep going!
"Why are you running so fast?" Su Jin asked."I’m afraid the Old Duke will return to his room," the Ninth Prince replied.
He said this and ran off.
The Marquis Dongxiang wouldn’t allow them to disturb the Old Duke’s quiet recuperation.
If the Old Duke returned to the room, they wouldn’t be able to see the wheelchair.
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh.
She walked to the bedside, and the Young Master Su said, "Don’t laugh at me."
Su Jin sat down on the stool and said, "Isn’t the injury healed yet?"
"It’s still a bit sore," the Young Master Su replied.
"Let me take a look," Su Jin said.
She reached out to pull the quilt.
The Young Master Su’s face turned red.
He pressed the quilt down tightly and said, "Even though you’re my sister, you can’t look at my butt."
Su Jin, "..."
She really felt like hitting him.
She was just trying to check the wound.
Miss Shen walked in and just happened to hear this.
She quickly hid behind the screen.
Covering her eyes, she peeked out.
The fingers separating her eyes grew wider.
The Young Master Su held onto the quilt and moved further onto the bed.
Apparently, this time the beating was quite severe, and after a few days, it hadn’t healed.
When he moved, it tugged on the wound on his butt, making the Young Master Su grimace in pain.
Su Jin held her forehead and said, "Alright, alright, I won’t look."
"Should’ve done that earlier. Everyone has a butt, nothing special to see," Young Master Su obediently lay still.
"It’s different, you have a wound on your butt," Xingxing said.
Su Jin, "..."
Young Master Su, "..."
He felt like dying.
The Young Master Su lay on the pillow playing dead.
He really didn’t want to talk about his butt with anyone.
Xingxing said, "Young Master, don’t be shy. It’s just a wound on the butt. Even the Emperor’s butt got stung by a wasp once."
"But the Emperor’s butt isn’t called a butt; it’s called a dragon derrière."
Young Master Su, "..."
He turned his face aside.
He couldn’t talk about his own butt.
But he could talk about the Emperor’s dragon derrière.
"Last time, I brought some lice into the palace, and they bit the Emperor’s dragon derrière too," Young Master Su said proudly.
Though lice weren’t as powerful as wasps.
But he was much younger than his sister.
So he felt he hadn’t disgraced the name of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Xingxing laughed so hard that she shook like a flower.
Su Jin held her forehead.
Feeling immense sympathy for the Emperor.
Poor Emperor, having to deal with such unspeakable experiences thanks to these siblings.
In the garden.
The Old Madam Duke Chong was feeling dizzy from the sun.
The Duchess’ handkerchief was soaked through and then dried by the sun.
They really couldn’t withstand it any longer.
The maid said, "Madam, there are still matters at the mansion; we should return."
The Duchess followed the steps down and, supporting the Old Madam Duke Chong, said, "Old Madam, let’s head back first. I’ll accompany you to visit the Old Duke another day."
Even the Duchess couldn’t hold on, let alone the Old Madam Duke Chong.
"Let’s go back," she said.
Su Chong pushed the Old Duke to see them off out of the mansion.
On this side, the Old Madam Duke Chong got into the sedan chair and headed back.
On the other side, the servants from the Imperial Censor Mansion each went back to their respective places. Thıs content belongs to novel⁂fire.net
After returning, they immediately reported what they saw and heard at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion to Lord Imperial Censor.
Lord Imperial Censor felt a throbbing pain in his head.
He looked at the memorial on his desk, which he had just finished writing; the ink wasn’t even dry. It accused the Duke Chong’s Mansion’s eldest son of being unfilial, causing his eye to twitch involuntarily.
To avoid angering the Marquis Dongxiang and the Marquis Jibei.
This memorial was written painstakingly and politely.
Now they told him to write a memorial praising the Duke Chong’s Mansion’s eldest son for his remarkable filial piety?!
Lord Imperial Censor was furious for a while, ripped up the memorial, and started rewriting it resignedly.
But lifting the pen, he couldn’t bring it down.
Finally, he went out to seek other Imperial Censors to discuss how the memorial should be written, after all, it involved offending the Duke Chong.
The other Imperial Censors were also at a loss.
But if truth be told, this matter wasn’t their fault; it was the Old Madam Duke Chong’s lack of finesse, giving the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion leverage.
Moreover, the servant had been threatened in her plain view.
It was assumed that the Duke Chong would understand.
The Lord Imperial Censor and the others couldn’t openly praise Su Chong, so they wrote a memorial reflecting on themselves.
Previously, they hadn’t clarified the matter of the Marquis Dongxiang and Mr. Su’s identities, leading to frequent accusations against them.
After admitting their mistakes, they then praised Su Chong’s filial piety towards the Old Duke, and stated that with him taking care of the Old Duke, the Duke Chong could rest assured.
Although they knew they were forced into it, the Duke Chong was still quite upset.
Especially since after being sunburned for most of the day, the Old Madam Duke Chong returned feeling dizzy, suffering from heatstroke.
Pretending to have heatstroke turned into actual heatstroke!
They failed to take the Old Duke back, and the Emperor even praised the Marquis Dongxiang for his excellent teaching of his son, encouraging the officials to learn from him.
Luckily, the Duke Chong was confined at home, otherwise, he might have been angered to the point of heatstroke.
At the Duke Chong’s Mansion, in the study.
The Duke Chong sat on the chair, his eyes cold, asking, "What other matters were discussed in the court?"
Many matters were discussed in the court.
Li Zhong picked a few important ones to talk about.
He looked at the Duke Chong and said, "Prince Zhenbei and Marquis Dongxiang agreed to release the King Beimo."
"Release him?" The Duke Chong sneered coldly.
"After all the trouble of capturing him alive and sending him back from thousands of miles away, they want to release him?"
"Aren’t they afraid people will say capturing the King Beimo alive is a lie?!"
Li Zhong didn’t respond.
Because no one would think it’s a lie.
Being captured alive is a great shame for the King Beimo.
Even if he’s released back, his prestige won’t be the same as before.
What kind of relationship would make the King Beimo sacrifice so much for Prince Zhenbei and the Flying Tiger Army?
If he thought so much for the Flying Tiger Army, he wouldn’t go to war but directly surrender as a subject.
"However, not many ministers support releasing the King Beimo, and the Emperor will not make a hasty decision," Li Zhong said.
"But the Astronomical Bureau observed the stars at night and predicted no rain in the next half month, and the Daqi Dynasty is likely to face a drought."
The Astronomical Bureau was quite certain.
There would be no rain in the next half month.
The Astronomical Bureau is usually only right about bad predictions.
The Duke Chong had no reaction to this.
The weather had been abnormally hot, with few clouds in sight, so a drought wasn’t surprising.
However, if it truly became a drought, it could be used to an advantage.
The Duke Chong’s mind was still on the King Beimo.
Although there weren’t many ministers supporting the release of the King Beimo, the Flying Tiger Army and the Marquis Dongxiang held significant influence over the Emperor.
So if the Emperor ultimately listened to Marquis Dongxiang and Prince Zhenbei, the Duke Chong was uncertain.
He couldn’t let things go according to the Marquis Dongxiang’s wishes!
Killing intent flashed in the Duke Chong’s eyes.
Outside, a servant came in and said, "Duke, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice sent someone to ask Elder Yong Cheng to go to the Ministry of Justice for questioning, seemingly about the bookkeeping."
The servant watched the Duke Chong’s face.
He thought the Duke Chong would be furious.
But unexpectedly, a smile appeared at the corner of the Duke Chong’s mouth.
He seemed to be waiting for this to happen, and now his wish had been fulfilled.
Marquis Dongxiang had presented two bookkeeping ledgers to the Emperor, who then handed them over to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
But the bookkeeping covered the last ten years, so investigating it wasn’t easy.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice studied the ledgers and found that one batch of grain and grass was escorted by Elder Yong Cheng, so he sent someone to invite Elder Yong Cheng for questioning.
