After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 831 - 828: Taking the Initiative
The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion laughed, "We can’t let Brother Mu get drunk, but on such a joyful day, not having a few drinks wouldn’t be right. Come on, let’s go find Brother Mu."
The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion pushed Prince NanAn and Chu Shun towards the direction of the wedding room.
After walking a few steps, Prince NanAn stopped and said, "Wait for me, I’ll be right back."
He stepped forward.
Chu Shun looked at him, "What are you going to do?"
The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion shook his head.
He didn’t know.
There were many people at Beining Marquis Mansion today drinking wedding wine. After watching the ceremony, everyone went to take their seats.
Prince NanAn walked over, patting a man pouring wine on the shoulder, whispering a few words.
The man shook his head, "I don’t have it..."
"Really don’t have it?" Prince NanAn asked again.
"...I have," the man admitted defeated.
Taking the medicine bottle from the man’s hand, Prince NanAn casually tucked it into his chest and moved towards Chu Shun and the others.
Chu Shun and the others looked at him.
Prince NanAn pulled out the medicine bottle, "Cover for me later."
"Are you really going to do this?" asked the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion.
"Would you bear to see your good brother sleep on the floor and beams?"
"..."
"Besides, he’s married now; can he go a lifetime without consummating the marriage?"
"Sooner or later, it’ll happen. I’m doing this villainy for my brother," Prince NanAn said righteously.
"..."
"You’ve touched me, but are you sure you’re not avenging the painting boat incident?" Chu Shun suspected.
"..."
The group walked forward, chatting and laughing.
The Heir of Marquis Beining had been gone for a while, but the wedding maid was escorting the bride slowly, so when Chu Shun and the others reached the new room, the wedding maid had just helped Miss Zhou Qi sit down.
Chu Shun and the others went in, greeted Miss Zhou Qi, then pulled the Heir of Marquis Beining out to drink.
The Heir of Marquis Beining was moved.
He was worried they were playing tricks, and were late to arrive, but unexpectedly, they came so quickly.
Truly his good brothers.
But soon, the Heir of Marquis Beining took back the words "good brothers" and replaced them with "troubled friends."
He wanted to drink wine, they gave him water.
During the feast, they handed him a large jar of wine, the aroma was enticing.
He took a gulp.
It was flavorless white cool water.
The wine aroma was emitted from the exterior of the wine jar.
The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."
At his own wedding feast, he couldn’t say the wine was bad. The Heir of Marquis Beining said, "This wine isn’t strong, bring me a stronger jar."
The servant brought a jar.
This time it wasn’t plain water, it had vinegar added.
The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."
The Heir of Marquis Beining stared at the servant.
The servant looked aggrieved.
Prince NanAn and the others requested it, he dared not defy.
"This wine is too strong, Princely Heir will still need to consummate the marriage later, better drink the previous one," the servant snatched the wine jar away.
That jar of cold water returned to the Heir of Marquis Beining’s hand.
Holding the jar, the Heir of Marquis Beining accepted his fate.
He understood his brothers.
The more he resisted, the worse it would get, switch once more and it might be chili oil.
But it didn’t matter.
Chu Shun and Prince NanAn have yet to marry, the water they drink today will be returned with salt later.
Here, the Heir of Marquis Beining drank water in annoyance, while others praised him for his great alcohol tolerance, never getting drunk even after a thousand drinks.
Marchioness Beining worried her son would drink too much and harm his health.
Princess NanAn glared at her son for being inconsiderate, how could they pour wine into someone so relentlessly?!
After pouring down two large tubs, Marchioness Beining couldn’t help but instruct the servant to be alert. The servant said, "Madam, no worries, Prince NanAn and the others let the Princely Heir drink water."
Marchioness Beining was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "After all, they’re brothers playing together, not wasted in deep trust."
After being poured two large tubs and drinking two small ones, the Heir of Marquis Beining couldn’t take it anymore. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
He needed to go to the toilet.
If he didn’t feign drunkenness at the wedding feast, he’d never slip away.
The Heir of Marquis Beining "drunk," couldn’t stand steadily, dared not let Prince NanAn or the others support him, leaned against Zhao Xu.
Among them, Young Master Zhao was the most earnest.
Young Master Zhao let the servant assist the Heir of Marquis Beining back.
The steward of Beining Marquis Mansion came over to help the Heir of Marquis Beining fend off those wanting him to continue drinking, "My Princely Heir can’t drink anymore, if he drinks more, he’ll truly lose consciousness."
Those noble sons laughed, "At the wedding feast, the most genuine one is your family’s Princely Heir, this is truly the joy of embracing beauty."
The steward laughed along, pouring wine for them.
The Heir of Marquis Beining was helped back to the room, halfway seeing no one was chasing after them, headed straight for the bathroom.
Almost suffocated alive.
Forgot to tell the servant to help him into the house, and when he came out, the servant had already left.
The Heir of Marquis Beining had no choice but to walk back to the bridal chamber on his own.
Some steps just can’t be skipped, like lifting the veil, like drinking the nuptial wine...
The wedding maid poured the wine, one cup for each.
After drinking, the wedding maid left and closed the door.
Leaving the Heir of Marquis Beining and Miss Zhou Qi.
Neither spoke, unsure of what to say, the air filled with awkwardness.
The Heir of Marquis Beining felt this was definitely the most awkward moment of his life.
However—
Even more awkwardness awaited ahead.
After a cup of wine, Miss Zhou Qi felt hot all over, tugging at her collar to cool down.
The Heir of Marquis Beining was no better.
He was smart, quickly realizing they had been drugged.
The Heir of Marquis Beining, "...!!!"
This bunch of rotten friends!
This isn’t pushing a duck onto a perch, is it?
Inside the bridal chamber, spring scenes abound.
The maids hid inside, listening to the noise from the room, getting hit on the head by a mama, "You’re getting bolder!"
The maids stuck out their tongues and quickly retreated.
The mama herself listened by the door for a while, then laughed and left.
Madam will have a big grandson now.
At the wedding feast, Prince NanAn exchanged cups with several people, drinking heartily.
Over half an hour passed before the feast dispersed.
Watching Prince NanAn and Chu Shun chatting and laughing.
Princess NanAn felt unpleasant; last time’s wedding feast was crowded, but not lively at all.
Nie Yao moved back to Yinzhou, and no one knows how she’s doing now.
Marchioness Jingguo was anxious, the steward had yet to send word, when will her son bring her daughter-in-law home?
Marquis Jingguo mentioned a few days ago that once the battle starts, he’ll have Chu Shun follow Su Chong to the battlefield for training.
She feared the battle would start before the steward brought someone back.
Xie Jingchen helped Su Jin onto the carriage, then got on himself.
The fruit wine from the Beining Marquis Mansion was delicious, Su Jin drank a few more cups, her face flushed, even more enchanting than the peach blossoms of early spring.
Xie Jingchen sat upright, not looking sideways.
Su Jin rolled her eyes.
The one who needed a beating moved closer, hooking his neck and breathing at his ear.
Xie Jingchen’s face darkened like a pot bottom.
"You woman!" He gritted his teeth.
Su Jin’s eyebrows were full of pride.
In the past, he was the one misbehaving in the carriage, now it was her turn.
With Aunt Flo navigating, she was unabashedly fearless.
Su Jin finally got to retaliate under the influence of alcohol, but ended up meeting Su Chong who lifted the curtain.
Su Jin, "...."
Xie Jingchen, "...."
Su Chong called out "Sister," then hurriedly dropped the curtain.
Su Jin’s face turned red as a monkey’s butt, blaming Xie Jingchen, "It’s all your fault!"
"Cough cough!"
Su Chong’s cough came through.
Su Jin felt like she wanted to die.
Why hadn’t her elder brother left yet?
Su Jin moved to the curtain and asked, "Brother, is there something you need?"
Su Chong wanted to leave but couldn’t.
Today, Prince Qi came to drink the wedding wine at the Beining Marquis Mansion too, but he looked rosy and didn’t seem poisoned at all.
From Prince Qi’s eyes, it didn’t look like he realized he was poisoned either.
Su Chong came to ask about this.
Su Jin said, "That poison dosage was small, its effects greatly reduced, and considering Prince Qi’s strong build, it might take a few more days for the poison to act."
At the time, the first blood forced out.
The second time, the poison in the poisonous blood was much less.
However, regardless of how small the dose, the toxicity remained.
But wasn’t that poison prepared for Duke Chong? How did it end up given to Prince Qi?
Su Chong prepared to leave on horseback, then he knocked on the carriage, "Brother-in-law, come out for a moment."
Xie Jingchen came out from the carriage.
He rode his horse and walked alongside Su Chong, who patted his shoulder earnestly, "You can’t let Jinjim take initiative in everything."
"Although she is my sister, I still hope you can be a commanding husband."
"...."
Xie Jingchen almost choked himself on a mouthful of blood.
