After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 926 - 921: Reciting Books

At that moment, Young Master Su’s heart shattered.

There were only three, and his sister thought of the Emperor, their father, and their elder brother, but never considered him or their brother-in-law.

Even though he had a companion, Young Master Su felt that his brother-in-law couldn’t compare to him.

Their father and elder brother were understandable, as they had known their sister longer, but the Emperor?

Surely, he’d known their sister longer than the Emperor, right?

And yet, he was being neglected like this.

Young Master Su felt a heavy blockage in his heart.

He looked at Su Jin, with a serious expression, and asked earnestly, "Sister, who holds more weight in your heart, me or the Emperor?"

Su Jin: "..."

Ninth Prince: "..."

Su Jin was speechless.

In the dead of winter, he brought out a big jar of aged jealousy to see her.

It was so sour that her back teeth were about to fall out.

Ninth Prince was impressed.

He actually dared to compare himself to the father Emperor.

Wasn’t it enough trouble seeking punishment from Marquis Dongxiang and his wife, and now he wanted to experience the Emperor’s wrath?

Su Jin felt playful and, resting her cheek on her hand, said, "If I say the Emperor is more important, what will you do?"

"...I can’t do anything, anyway, I wouldn’t cry," Young Master Su turned his head away, his eyes a little red.

Su Jin covered her face with her hand.

Who would have thought someone who spent all day bouncing around looking for trouble would have such a vulnerable side?

After all, he was still just a child, even if he was a bit troublesome sometimes.

"Of course, you matter more," Su Jin said.

Young Master Su immediately looked smug, grinning, "As expected."

Su Jin: "..."

Why did she feel like hitting him?

Young Master Su, having set the stage, sat down next to Su Jin and said, "Sister, since you gave that thing to the Emperor, can you borrow it back for us, so we can each play with it for a day before you return it to the Emperor?"

One day each seemed fair.

But if it ended up with the four of them, it was highly likely they would break it before returning it to the Emperor.

Su Jin looked at him and asked, "Why didn’t you suggest I send someone to retrieve the one given to our father?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Young Master Su’s face drooped.

As if he didn’t want to?

He didn’t dare, right?

The thing was so good, if their father knew he was pestering his sister to keep one back, wouldn’t he hang him up and beat him for ten days and half a month?

Although he had never been on the battlefield, since childhood he was trained to have a sharp eye, to see far and see clearly.

Standing on the city gate, using that thing to see the enemy army, their father would surely be pleased.

Compared to playing, fighting wars was certainly more important.

Young Master Su looked at Su Jin and asked, "Sister, where did you buy that thing?"

Xingxing was about to speak, but was stopped by Su Jin’s gaze.

Su Jin smiled and said, "One thousand taels each, do you want to buy?"

Young Master Su: "...."

"I can’t afford it," Young Master Su’s face flushed red as he said.

Su Jin shifted the topic and asked, "What book are you reading recently?"

"I started reading ’Li Weng’s Rhymes’ yesterday. Mother wants us to memorize it word for word," Young Master Su said honestly.

His brows showed a bit of helplessness.

Because that book was really thick.

Without a month or two, it would be hard to memorize it.

Su Jin smiled and said, "Alright, when you guys memorize ’Li Weng’s Rhymes’, I’ll give each of you one."

Young Master Su’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"When has sister ever lied to you?" Su Jin asked.

She asked earnestly.

Young Master Su’s mouth twitched.

How many times had she tricked him on Qingyun Mountain before?

The promises she made were seldom fulfilled, he was already used to it.

Compared to Su Jin, Young Master Su might believe Xingxing a bit more.

Young Master Su looked at Xingxing.

Xingxing nodded, "This time it’s real."

Su Jin: "..."

Seeing Su Jin raise her hand to cover her face, Xingxing said to Young Master Su and his friends, "I’ll go get you some cakes to eat."

"No time to eat, we have to go back and study," Young Master Su said urgently.

Since they had to memorize it eventually, it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

Young Master Su regretted not memorizing a bit more yesterday.

After speaking, they turned and ran off.

When Su Jin got up to go out, she only caught a glimpse of a shadow.

Su Jin was both amused and helpless.

She turned to Xingxing and asked, "Have I ever lied to him?"

"You’ve tricked him quite a few times," Xingxing replied.

"...."

"What did I lie about?" Su Jin asked.

"Like when you went down the mountain with the Marquis and the eldest young master to play, promising to bring him all kinds of delicious things, but in the end, you got so caught up in playing that you forgot," Xingxing said.

"But every time, the Marquis and the eldest young master took the blame for you."

"...."

Su Jin didn’t want to ask anymore.

But Xingxing had opened the floodgates and was giving Su Jin various examples.

In the distance, Young Master Su ran back, his little face flushed red from running.

Seeing him, Su Jin was about to ask why he was back when Young Master Su panted and said, "Sister, don’t forget our little cousin also needs a share."

"She’s still young; if she can’t memorize it, can I memorize something else for her?"

Ever since they didn’t take good care of Miss Shen, leading her to catch a cold, Young Master Su and his friends had been especially caring of her.

They always made sure Miss Shen had a share of whatever good food, drink, or plaything they had.

This time was no exception.

Su Jin really didn’t know what to ask him to memorize, so she said, "Then go back and let mother choose a book for you to memorize."

Young Master Su nodded eagerly.

And like the wind, he ran off again.

After Young Master Su went back, he went to Mrs. Tang to ask her to pick a book for him to memorize.

Mrs. Tang was a bit surprised by his initiative, and touched Young Master Su’s forehead.

No fever.

After asking, she found out what was going on.

But Mrs. Tang didn’t make him memorize it.

Keeping them united, so it’s easier to manage, Mrs. Tang asked him to practice calligraphy. Among the four of them, Young Master Shen’s handwriting was the best, followed by the Ninth Prince, and Young Master Su’s handwriting was similar to Young Master Zhao’s.

Mrs. Tang asked him to practice two copybooks.

As for the book, it would still be Miss Shen who would memorize it, since she was young, she could be given more time.

Today, it was getting late, and Young Master Su and his friends didn’t want to go to Jibei Marquis Mansion, so they went back to their rooms to study.

The next day, they got up early in the morning to study, unprecedentedly serious about it.

After breakfast, they went to Jibei Marquis Mansion to pay respects to Old Madam Ji Bei, told Miss Shen about the telescope, and then returned to their manor.

Old Madam Ji Bei felt a little disappointed.

Mrs. Tang had gone with them for the visit.

In the past, it was always Mrs. Tang who wanted to leave, while Young Master Su and his friends stubbornly bargained not to leave.

This time it was Young Master Su and his friends eager to leave, while Mrs. Tang wanted to stay for a while.

Even so, Young Master Su and his friends still decided to return to their manor first.

Old Madam Ji Bei looked at Mrs. Tang and asked, "What’s going on?"

Mrs. Tang laughed, "It’s nothing, they’re in a hurry to go back and study."

"Study?" Old Madam Ji Bei was surprised.

Why did her grandchild suddenly become so diligent?

Mrs. Tang told Old Madam Ji Bei about Su Jin’s request for them to memorize books.

Old Madam Ji Bei shook her head with a laugh, "So diligent, it seems they really like that thing."

Miss Shen ran in with a book, excitedly saying, "Grandmother, Brother Su Yang said, if I memorize it, I’ll get one too."

"Then you must memorize it well," Third Madam Shen smiled and said.

"Yes, yes," Miss Shen nodded like a little chick pecking at rice.

She opened the book and said worriedly, "But there are so many words I don’t know yet."

Old Madam Ji Bei: "...."

Old Madam Ji Bei found it amusing.

Was it really that there were many words she didn’t know?

Wasn’t it more like she barely recognized any words at all?

Third Madam Shen took the opportunity to hire a female tutor to teach her daughter literacy.
