After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 838 - 835: Desolation

Su Jin said no problem, and Xingxing felt at ease.

Holding a small hoe, Xingxing looked back every few steps and said, "Miss, hiding it under a cactus isn’t very safe, is it?"

It seems like it would be easy to guess.

Xingxing’s little brain was already pondering a safer place.

Su Jin’s mouth twitched.

This maid had fallen into the common problem of everyone who hides things—

Suspecting that it’s not well hidden, not safe.

Most people, due to lack of confidence, would check it after a while.

If others hide things in the cabinet, just a glance is enough; but digging something out from under a cactus is a huge project.

Thinking about this maid possibly digging up a cactus with a lamp in the middle of the night, Su Jin felt she wasn’t overthinking.

"As long as the cactus doesn’t spill the beans, no one will ever find the silver note buried beneath it," Su Jin said firmly.

Xingxing, "..."

Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

She actually still preferred the original hiding place for the silver notes.

As soon as they catch that fake son-in-law, the silver notes could be dug up and returned.

In order to create an opportunity for the fake son-in-law to steal things, Su Jin went out every day.

Either returning to the Marquis Mansion, going shopping, or playing elsewhere...

Anyway, she just wouldn’t stay at the Agarwood Pavilion.

Su Jin and Xie Jingchen spared no effort to create a chance for the thief.

But after four or five days, there was still no appearance.

Su Jin, after roaming around, collapsed on the Imperial Concubine’s Couch, "Shopping every day, so tiring."

Xingxing felt her mistress was slightly deserving of a beating.

If the little master heard this, he would jump up and say she didn’t know how blessed she was.

"Shopping is so much fun, everything is available on the street."

But they have gone shopping a bit too often, even the vendors on the street near the Beauty Pavilion and the Drunken Immortal Pavilion recognized them.

And not just recognizing, they could even guess seven or eight of their preferences.

Today on the street, the vendor smiled and said, "This one is good, I specially reserved this for you, didn’t bring it out for others, I’m sure you’ll love it."

It truly hit the mark with Xingxing.

Xingxing thought about it and realized they couldn’t go shopping too often.

Avoid poison attempts, the Emperor shouldn’t eat too much of anything, knowing their preferences could be risky, although it seemed like the mistress wasn’t afraid of being poisoned...

Su Jin felt too tired to move, Xingxing asked, "Miss, where shall we go to play tomorrow?"

She wanted to stay in the mansion and sleep tomorrow.

"Find me a place where I can rest," Su Jin replied weakly.

"Anywhere is a place to rest," Xingxing said.

Su Jin’s head ached.

Anywhere could indeed be a resting place.

But now she’s a princess, she has to maintain her image, can’t she just sit on the busy street watching people come and go?

"Let’s go to the Great Buddha Temple," Su Jin suggested.

Have a vegetarian meal, and enjoy the Buddhist music for a nap.

Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

A good night’s sleep.

After sleeping soundly through the night, she woke up reinvigorated the next day.

But this kind of energy didn’t last long, her tired feet stiffened after walking just a bit.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Jin closed her eyes to rest.

On the mountain, Xingxing lifted the curtain to look outside, the scenery was beautiful, but something felt off.

Xingxing lifted the front curtain, looked outside, and said, "Why is there no one on the road?"

The Great Buddha Temple is the largest temple in the Capital City, arguably the largest Buddhist temple in Daqi.

Normally whenever they come, there are quite a few people going up and down the mountain.

It’s the first time seeing so few people today.

The Hidden Guard drove the carriage up the mountain, but there were still a few people around.

The parking area was also deserted.

The bustling temple had become so quiet, it was somewhat unsettling.

"Miss, should we go back?" Xingxing worriedly suggested.

Just as Su Jin was about to nod, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple led several novice monks over to greet them, palms together chanting, "Amitabha Buddha."

"Welcome, Your Majesty Princess Jiuling."

Xingxing lifted the curtain and said, "You’ve got the wrong person."

A familiar voice...

The little monk looked up and saw Xingxing.

Little monk, "...."

The abbot, "...."

The abbot felt a bit fearful, asked the monk on the side, "Did we deliver the wrong message?"

The little monk seemed puzzled, shook his head repeatedly.

He was sure there was no mistake.

The other day, the Eldest Prince sent people to notify that Princess Jiuling would bring Princess Fuqing to the temple for incense today, instructing the temple to prepare in advance to avoid offending noble guests.

To welcome Princess Jiuling’s arrival, the Great Buddha Temple refused other pilgrims today, only to receive Princess Jiuling.

But why is Princess Consort Zhenbei here instead?

Upon hearing this, Su Jin said, "I decided to visit the Great Buddha Temple on a whim, nothing to do with Princess Jiuling."

Knowing the reason for the temple’s quietness, Xingxing no longer felt afraid.

After getting off the carriage, Xingxing helped Fu Su Jin down.

Although the Great Buddha Temple had refused other pilgrims to welcome Princess Jiuling,

those people definitely did not include Su Jin.

Princess Jiuling is a princess, and Su Jin is even more so.

In terms of nobility, they are equally matched.

There’s no reason to inconvenience oneself for Princess Jiuling.

Su Jin stepped up the stairs, entered the Great Hero Hall for incense.

Su Jin knelt on the stairs, sincerely praying, Xingxing knelt a bit behind her, earnestly praying with a serious expression.

Before they finished, Princess Fuqing walked in.

Seeing Su Jin there, Princess Fuqing pulled a long face, "Why is she here?!"

"Wasn’t it agreed that my mother would come to present the first incense?"

Princess Fuqing took issue with the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple.

The abbot looked troubled.

Princess Consort Zhenbei is a princess, and moreover, she holds leverage over the Great Buddha Temple, even if borrowed a few courage from the temple, they wouldn’t dare offend her.

But he didn’t dare say anything that would go against Princess Fuqing either.

Su Jin stood up, looked at Princess Fuqing, and said, "You arranged with the Great Buddha Temple, but not with me."

Xingxing echoed, "Exactly, you came so late yourself, still don’t allow other pilgrims to offer incense, do you want the Bodhisattva to wait for your incense?"

Asking others to wait is impolite enough, let alone asking the Bodhisattva to wait.

Such a person, no matter how much incense they offer, the Bodhisattva wouldn’t be pleased.

Princess Fuqing was furious enough to stomp her feet, but couldn’t win over Su Jin and her maid.

She turned to leave, Princess Jiuling came in, asked, "Aren’t we here for incense, what happened?"

"The first incense has been snatched!" Princess Fuqing complained.

Princess Jiuling glanced over and saw Su Jin and Xingxing.

Princess Jiuling instantly felt at a loss, Princess Fuqing had been throwing tantrums continually these days, Princess Jiuling, to please her daughter, accompanied her to the Great Buddha Temple for incense.

Didn’t expect such bad timing, and ran into Princess Consort Zhenbei.

Princess Jiuling naturally hoped that Princess Fuqing and Su Jin could get along peacefully, Su Jin is the Emperor’s most cherished daughter, falling out with her would be inviting trouble for oneself.

However, Princess Fuqing felt too aggrieved, she is a Nanliang Princess, staying comfortably in Nanliang, why bow to a Daqi Princess?!

Princess Fuqing insisted on leaving, Princess Jiuling coaxed her, Su Jin was too lazy to pay attention to her, and went off with Xingxing to admire the scenery.
