What was the point of letting them leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around and selling them, the silver tael earned were handed over to the National Treasury, which could be considered a contribution to the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was not the main reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These girls were the foundation of Baihua Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these girls weren’t dealt with, there would soon be a second and third Baihua Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By selling them, these girls changed masters. Even if Duke Chong had immense power, his subordinates couldn’t take them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Baihua Building was thoroughly eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Shouning was punished, the Empress lost the Phoenix Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress Dowager was thunderously angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Chong was scolded vehemently, with nowhere to vent his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pressing his temples in frustration, a servant knocked and said, \"Duke, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is he here for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Chong slightly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him in,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked open, and the Vice Minister walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was anxious, and Duke Chong knew immediately that something had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to be this anxious, it couldn’t be a small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duke, something serious has happened!\" the Vice Minister urgently said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happened?\" Duke Chong inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis Dongxiang has arrested my brother-in-law, General Ningyuan,\" the Vice Minister said, sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Chong’s brow creased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Minister hastily continued, \"You instructed me to silence the Prefect of Wangzhou, and I assigned this task to General Ningyuan. To ensure safety, he sent a confidant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, the Ministry of Justice arrested that confidant, and today, Marquis Dongxiang personally went to arrest General Ningyuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a court official was a capital offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Duke Chong, a man whom Marquis Dongxiang dared to break a rib of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If General Ningyuan fell into his hands, it wouldn’t end well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he confessed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Minister panicked, running to Duke Chong for solutions disregarding the imminent time for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis Dongxiang again!\" Duke Chong gnashed his teeth in hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does he insist on being a thorn in my side?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marquis Dongxiang had entered the Ministry of Justice and hadn’t done much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Chong was planning to impeach him for neglecting his duties in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here he came, stirring up the Wangzhou matter and refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Duke Chong held great power across the court, he couldn’t casually poison a prefect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and said, \"Find an opportunity to see General Ningyuan, tell him to keep his mouth shut, otherwise he won’t be the only one to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Minister agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Chong gave a few more instructions before he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after the Hidden Guard delivered the medicine to Marquis Dongxiang, they went to West City to look for patients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching for a while, they were drawn over by the sound of coughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old man with a granddaughter, coughing so much that their backs were bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard found a tattered man to pretend to be her son, carrying her to the doctor’s shop front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop had already closed a quarter of an hour ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard went to knock on the door first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young shop assistant opened the door and said, \"The shop is closed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I urgently need medicine to save a life,\" the Hidden Guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young shop assistant said, \"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard took a dose of medicine and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a cup of tea’s time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man went to knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seven or eight knocks, the door was finally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While opening the door, the young shop assistant said, \"The shop is closed, come back tomorrow for medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he complained, the young shop assistant still opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man pleaded, \"Save my mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman coughed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop assistant saw this and said, \"Wait here, I’ll call the doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the doctor came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He invited the old woman inside, taking her pulse and preparing medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard watched from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor was dedicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his wife complained a bit, \"You’ve turned our pharmacy into a Charitable Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you bear not to save a life?\" the doctor chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife glared at him, then gestured to the little girl, \"Come, I’ll take you to eat something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, this sister is so dirty, you can’t even see her face,\" a seven or eight-year-old boy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife tapped him on the head and said, \"Your mother was like that too at one time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wash her face and change clothes, that’s all it takes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife indeed found a set of clothes for the little girl, although not a perfect fit, it was clean and fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard was quite impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eldest Young Madam really had a keen eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wait...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even seen the person, she just heard a few words from the maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard returned to Agarwood Pavilion and reported the doctor’s character to Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The doctor really is a good person,\" Xingxing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He truly is,\" Su Jin was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a wind rising outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling wind rattled the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin stood by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind blew against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her mood was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a test from the heavens for that doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly woman, seriously ill, without shelter, exposed to the elements, swallowing any amount of medicine would be futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen entered the room after bathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin closed the window, turned around, and helped Xie Jingchen with his medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen stripped off his undergarment, wearing only his trousers—his back, already healing, now bore several more bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin saw and said, \"Why didn’t you say you had injuries on your back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hurried back to apply medicine, weren’t you admiring flowers with the maids?\" Xie Jingchen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"... .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing, \"... .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing glanced at Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss, didn’t you say the young master walked so fast because he wanted some quiet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin silently helped Xie Jingchen apply the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She applied it to his back, chest, and face, then asked, \"Are there bruises on your thighs or calves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin said, \"Take it off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen, \"... .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing blushed, turned around, and ran off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jin, \"Are you sure you want me to take it off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin was a bit at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why say it like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind turned, and Su Jin blushed scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No underpants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She set the medicine aside, \"You apply it yourself then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the inner room, Su Jin exhaled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching her hot face, she walked towards the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid such awkward situations in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things have to come into being.\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-06T02:19:46.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3d205c67c8b1bee1be1a22071d5ddb52c52fabe7b6e78e21689176807e668e0","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-318","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-316",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-cover.jpg"]
