After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband
Chapter 78: Let Go

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Let Go

In the garden, all the flowers were in full bloom, vibrant and colorful.

Colorful butterflies flitted through the flower bushes, dazzling the eyes and overwhelming the senses.

But in such a large garden, only Su Jin was sincerely admiring the scenery.

Xingxing was worried that Princess Shouning would cause trouble.

Xie Jinyu and her companions were eager to watch the commotion, waiting for Princess Shouning to handle Su Jin and vent their resentment.

Princess Shouning came to the Duke Zhen Mansion specifically to deal with Su Jin, and her patience had run out waiting for Su Jin.

Choosing the place, she got straight to the point, "Show your whip!"

Su Jin looked at Princess Shouning and said, "I didn’t bring the whip with me."

Xie Jinyu didn’t believe her, "Impossible, doesn’t the Eldest Young Madam’s maid always carry the whip?"

"This time I really didn’t bring it, see for yourself," Xingxing turned her bag inside out for Xie Jinyu to see.

Such a clever girl.

Without a whip, she wouldn’t have to spar with them.

Since it’s sparring, it’s not fair for the young lady to face the whip of Princess Shouning barehanded.

"Go back and get it!" Princess Shouning said impatiently.

Xingxing looked at Su Jin.

Su Jin smiled faintly, "I consulted the almanac this morning, and today is unsuitable for combat, both sides would end up hurt. I won’t do something that harms the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred myself, let’s find another day."

"You think you can just choose another day?!" Princess Shouning retorted angrily.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, it’s not easy for Princess Shouning to come to the Duke Mansion," Xie Jinyu chimed in.

Su Jin looked at her, "What if during the sparring, Princess Shouning gets hurt, are you responsible?"

"You’d better worry about yourself!" Princess Shouning said through gritted teeth.

These days, she had been practicing the whip hard just for today.

Thinking she could just easily slip away, not so simple!

Su Jin didn’t take the bait, "It’s not easy to leave the palace, one day I’ll enter the palace and spar with the princess, invite the Emperor and Empress too to witness."

Xie Jinyu frowned slightly, "Eldest Sister-in-law, you are going too far, today is unfavorable to you, so you don’t accept the challenge, and then choose an auspicious day to enter the palace and whip Princess Shouning?"

Stoking the flames.

A furious Princess Shouning was immediately incensed.

The Second Family’s Third Miss, Xie Jinhuan, said, "Why not just choose another day, we can be intermediaries and help Princess Shouning and the Eldest Sister-in-law choose a date that everyone agrees on, and have the contest in the palace, the Duke Mansion’s space is too small to display skills."

Listening to Xie Jinhuan, Su Jin felt her martial arts were extraordinary.

If she and Princess Shouning fought, it could darken the sky and change the color of mountains and rivers, leveling the Duke Zhen Mansion in minutes.

But in reality, she was just a weakling who couldn’t even use a whip.

Although she knew letting them decide on the day was clearly biased toward Princess Shouning.

But if the contest is tomorrow, at least she has one night to cram.

Entering the palace, perhaps the Emperor might intervene?

To delay a day is to gain a day.

Su Jin gladly agreed to Xie Jinhuan’s suggestion.

But Xie Jinhuan suffered, receiving several glares from Princess Shouning and Xie Jinyu and her company.

Which side was she on, really?!

Princess Shouning disagreed, but as she was about to speak, Xie Jinyu shook her head and held her hand.

Princess Shouning took a deep breath, "This princess will consider it!"

"Let’s enjoy the flowers!"

Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

But the relief was premature, just when Su Jin was enjoying the flowers, reaching out to touch the petals—

Princess Shouning suddenly whipped forward.

A red welt instantly appeared on Su Jin’s fair hand.

She cried out in pain.

"This princess wants to spar with you, you have no say!" Princess Shouning’s voice struck like a hammer.

And with it came the whip.

Su Jin quickly dodged.

As a whip slashed through the air, a flourishing pot of peonies suffered the brunt.

Princess Shouning retrieved the whip and continued to strike Su Jin.

Su Jin was infuriated.

She looked at Xie Jinyu and the others, "Are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"The princess is angry, if we help you, Eldest Sister-in-law, she might whip us instead," Xie Jinyu said.

Su Jin took a deep breath.

She called out behind Princess Shouning, "Husband!"

Princess Shouning turned to look.

Su Jin quickly grabbed the whip that was resting on a pot of camellias, trying to snatch it away.

Su Jin was unexpected, but it couldn’t surpass Princess Shouning’s maid’s quick reactions, who steadied the whip for Princess Shouning.

Xingxing came to help Su Jin.

Then—

Pulled into a tug-of-war over the whip.

Xingxing was strong, but Princess Shouning had more people.

The standoff continued.

Xie Jinyu came over and said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, quickly let go, let’s talk it out."

"Why don’t you tell Princess Shouning to let go!"

"Ask her to talk it out!" Su Jin said displeased.

"Eldest Sister-in-law!" Xie Jinyu looked aggrieved, like her good intentions were met with scorn.

Su Jin raised an eyebrow, "Xingxing, let go."

"Should we really let go?" Xingxing asked.

"Let go!"

Then both Su Jin and Xingxing released their grip.

The whip loosened.

Princess Shouning fell backward, cushioned by the palace maid and eunuchs behind her.

"Run!"

Su Jin grabbed Xingxing and ran.

Princess Shouning was so angry she wanted to beat Su Jin to death.

"Chase them!" Princess Shouning gritted her teeth and said.

Su Jin ran forward.

Xingxing said, "Miss, we’re running the wrong way, that’s the path back to Agarwood Pavilion."

"We’re not going back."

"Huh?"

"Just run in the garden."

"... "

No matter what Su Jin said, Xingxing just complied.

Then—

They were running at the front.

Princess Shouning and Xie Jinyu were chasing behind.

"Miss, can we run a little faster?" Xingxing couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t rush, run slowly."

"... "

"Why?" Xingxing was puzzled.

They were running for their lives.

"Only if they think they can catch us will they keep chasing relentlessly."

"... "

"Once they’re tired, they won’t be able to run any further," Su Jin said.

"... "

"But at that time, we also won’t be able to run anymore," Xingxing said.

"... "

Su Jin glanced back.

Princess Shouning was relentlessly pursuing.

But every few steps, she needed to rest.

Even while doing so, she was shouting threats, "Just you wait! If I don’t strip off two layers of your skin today, I’ll take your surname!"

Su Jin looked at the maids in the garden and panted, "Quick, go tell the Old Madam, Princess Nanzhang, Second Madam, and Third Madam to come save Princess Shouning!"

The maids, "..."

Eldest Young Madam, do you think we’re dumb?

Calling Princess Nanzhang and others was obviously to save you, wasn’t it?

But they didn’t dare to ignore Su Jin, so they all retreated.

Anyway, from a distance, the Eldest Young Madam wouldn’t know if they actually went to find someone to save her.

A bright smile appeared on Su Jin’s lips.

She ran half a lap more.

Running all the way, asking people to save Princess Shouning.

Eventually, all the maids and old women left.

Only they remained in the garden.

Almost there.

Su Jin whispered a few words in Xingxing’s ear.

Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

The two of them split up and ran in different directions.

However, Princess Shouning’s target was Su Jin, she ignored Xingxing.

Su Jin ran for a while, gasping, "Can you spare me and stop chasing? I really, really can’t run anymore. Can I admit defeat?"

"You, you wish!"

Princess Shouning walked a few steps forward, too tired to even speak clearly.

The maid supported her, preventing her from collapsing from exhaustion.

Su Jin was speechless.

Like this, she still wanted to chase her?

Her stamina coming down from the mountains, could it compare with that of a pampered princess?

Ridiculous.

In the shadows—

Xingxing aimed a slingshot at the hornet’s nest on a big tree next to Princess Shouning.

She had excellent aim.

The stone hit the target, breaking the hornet’s nest.

The large hornet’s nest fell down and hit the ground.

The hornets swarmed out.

"Miss, run!"

Xingxing shouted loudly.

Master and servant vanished like smoke.

As for Princess Shouning—

No exception at all.

Complete annihilation.

Yes.

Not just her.

Even the palace maid and eunuchs she brought were carried out of Duke Zhen Mansion.
