After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 814 - 812: Fainting
Su Jin really didn’t know about Xingxing raising Gu worms.
Earlier, Su Jin had thought about asking Qin Hanhan for Gu worms, but upon seeing the ones Qin Hanhan raised, Su Jin silently dismissed the idea.
Those Gu worms looked really... beyond description.
Su Jin feared having nightmares at night, let alone asking for a few; even when Qin Hanhan offered them, Su Jin swiftly declined the kindness.
Xingxing knew Su Jin was afraid of Gu worms, but seeing Young Master Su and the others raising them, she was tempted.
She didn’t dare tell Su Jin, raising them secretly, and kept forgetting to feed the Gu worms every other day.
Now that the Gu worms were handed over to Princess Qi, Xingxing felt completely relieved.
As for Princess Qi—
She truly had to fend for herself.
Princess Qi changed into a different dress at Princess Nanzhang’s place, sat for a while, and then took her leave.
Princess Nanzhang saw her out.
While passing through the second gate, Princess Qi’s maid glanced back a few times and said to Princess Qi, "Princess Consort Zhenbei refuses to forgive the Commandery Princess, so why doesn’t she return the things the Princess gave her?"
Getting paid for work is a basic rule.
Princess Consort Zhenbei’s attitude was firm, refusing to speak kindly for the Commandery Princess, and those things given to her should be promptly returned.
How long had they been in the Prince Mansion, why was there no movement at all?
Princess Qi had a gloomy expression, "Those things, she dares to keep them?!"
Mrs. Zhao followed alongside Princess Nanzhang.
After all, having just returned to the Capital, she wasn’t familiar with the Princess Consort.
Princess Nanzhang sneered coldly, "It’s already good enough she doesn’t snatch them; once something is in her hands, don’t expect her to return it."
"If it were before, I could have scolded her a few times, but now that she is a princess, I dare not say much."
Princess Nanzhang, in her complaint, directly fueled Princess Qi’s anger to a new height.
"Just a princess, can she turn the world upside down?!" Princess Qi said disdainfully.
Due to anger, Princess Qi’s voice was somewhat loud.
The maids and servants around heard and looked at her.
Princess Nanzhang frowned, hurriedly saying, "You can’t say that, even before she became a princess, she dared to have Princess Shouning carried out of the Duke Mansion."
"Now that she’s a princess, what wouldn’t she dare to do?"
Mrs. Zhao scolded the maids and servants, "Why are you all eavesdropping, not working anymore?!"
"Whoever dares to gossip will not see mercy from the Prince Mansion’s rules!"
This was to warn them not to let the words reach Su Jin’s ears.
But Princess Nanzhang’s act of cowardice just poured oil on the fire of Princess Qi’s heart, burning her insides painfully.
"I’d like to see if she dares to have me carried out of Prince Zhenbei Mansion!" Princess Qi said defiantly.
Princess Qi left in a fury.
Just as she stepped out of Prince Zhenbei Mansion.
Her vision went black, and if not for the maid supporting her in time, she would have fallen sprawling down the steps.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
Princess Qi fainted.
Despite Mrs. Zhao’s order to keep quiet, the words Princess Qi walked away with spread like wildfire.
The maids and servants had to begrudgingly accept it.
She fainted right after uttering those words.
Even though Princess Consort and her maid didn’t appear, how did she just faint?
Was Princess Consort really so wicked, whoever offends her gets unlucky?
But wasn’t Princess Qi here today to apologize for the demoted Princess Chengxian?
In Agarwood Pavilion, inside the room.
Su Jin was nibbling on tribute fruit when Bi Zhu rushed in to report Princess Qi fainting at the mansion gate.
Su Jin choked.
Xingxing raised her hand to pat Su Jin’s back.
After a few pats.
Su Jin spit out the fruit.
Xingxing was anxious, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Didn’t choke to death, almost got slapped to death by you," Su Jin said with twitching eye corners.
Xingxing, "...."
Bi Zhu stood on the side, nearly choking on an internal injury.
Xingxing’s strength...
It matched her eating seven or eight meat buns every morning.
Su Jin hurt, rolling her eyes.
Not just her back hurt.
Her chest hurt too.
Did Xingxing slap her so hard she got internal injuries?
Su Jin clutched her chest, her mind still thinking about Princess Qi’s issue.
How did it happen so coincidentally she fainted at the mansion gate?
Could it really be the curse she spoke of, did Xingxing’s Gu worms have a mind of their own?
But the timing of this fainting was really inconvenient.
The Hidden Guard hid in the tree.
After several failed attempts, he finally relaxed, and that maid succeeded.
Hidden Guard, "...."
Poisoning Princess Qi was no small matter.
Princess Duanhui, having sent someone to assassinate the Princess Consort, was demoted by the Emperor to Commandery Princess, this was a cautionary tale.
The Hidden Guard dared not be careless, went to report to Xie Jingchen in the study.
Listening to the report, Xie Jingchen had a headache.
Each one who came looking for trouble ended up being carried out...
Should he refuse all visits from those with grudges against Su Jin?
Almost everyone believed Princess Qi fainted due to poison by Su Jin, after all, when Princess Qi was carried onto the carriage, her lips were purple, clearly looking poisoned.
The news spread, teahouses and taverns were abuzz discussing this matter.
Not long ago, Qi Mansion’s Commandery Princess was demoted to commoner for snatching from Princess Consort Zhenbei.
How many days have passed, and Princess Qi stumbled again at Princess Consort Zhenbei’s hands.
Anyone who provoked Princess Consort Zhenbei had no good outcomes, why were people still fearlessly following suit?
The dining public expressed their confusion.
The news reached Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Prince NanAn and others shouted, "Big sister-in-law is mighty!"
Such a momentum of defeating one if one comes, defeating both if two come, was truly admirable.
Thankfully, they firmly stood with Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, friends not enemies, or who knows what the outcome would be?
Marquis Dongxiang praised Su Jin’s filial piety.
Mrs. Tang glared at him, "You praise, but Princess Qi went to apologize under the guise to Jinjim yet fainted poisoned, how will the Empress Dowager let it go easily?"
Marquis Dongxiang lightly coughed, "Though it’s reckless, the filial intentions are still commendable."
Mrs. Tang glared at him again.
Marquis Dongxiang laughed, "Madam need not worry too much."
"With Princess Duanhui’s example before, Jinjim at most would be demoted to Commandery Princess."
"No need for me to worry, the Emperor will certainly find a way to restore her as a princess."
"...."
"I was reluctant for the Emperor to easily acknowledge Jinjim, it’s good he faces some difficulties too."
"...."
In the Imperial Study.
The Emperor was not only worried but sneezing.
He paced back and forth in the Imperial Study.
His hand inadvertently rubbed his temples.
Eunuch Fu followed closely behind saying, "Emperor, don’t worry."
"Which time didn’t the Princess’ trouble end up fine?"
"Not only fine but she also received a bunch of rewards."
Eunuch Fu’s comfort was quite unique.
The Emperor thought about it and felt Eunuch Fu made sense.
The Emperor’s steps slowed down, sat on the Dragon Chair sipping tea to soothe his throat.
After taking a sip, the Emperor glanced at Eunuch Fu, "Should I prepare the rewards first?"
Eunuch Fu, "...."
