The Young Master is blessed with great fortune and will be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished speaking, a servant ran in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collided with the maid who was serving tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea cup in the maid’s hand crashed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound reverberated, shattering the cup into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid fell to the ground, her hand reaching for the broken pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scream drew everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young maid’s hand was bright red with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant ignored her and quickly approached, saying, \"Madam, the Young Master, he, he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant’s face was ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng’s heart sank to the bottom of the pot, \"Feng’er, Feng’er he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant dared not report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid urged, \"Speak up, are you trying to worry Madam to death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that he dared not say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared Madam couldn’t withstand such a blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But paper cannot contain fire forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant stammered, \"The Young Master, he... was killed by someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng staggered, and the maid quickly supported her to prevent her from falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was as pale as paper, her body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears blurred her vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear this heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room descended into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They helped Lady Yongcheng onto the bed, and the maid asked the servant, \"Who would dare have the audacity to kill the Young Master?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was the Young Master who had the audacity to kidnap the Princess Consort Zhenbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Young Master killed, other than being slain by the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and the Princess Consort, what other possibility was there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor came to give Lady Yongcheng acupuncture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she awoke, the body of the Yongcheng Bo Heir had already been brought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was hot, the body had been left outside overnight, and already emitted a foul odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng threw herself upon the body and wept bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was truly heartbreaking for those who saw it and tearful for those who heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Yongcheng rushed over, and although he already knew of the Yongcheng Bo Heir’s death, seeing it in person was still unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng was Duke Chong’s half-sister, and Uncle Yongcheng had climbed to his position thanks to Duke Chong’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Uncle’s Mansion, Lady Yongcheng was authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Yongcheng didn’t even have a concubine, not even a chambermaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had one son and one daughter, and now his son was dead, leaving him without an heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Yongcheng’s steps were unsteady as he walked over, and Lady Yongcheng cried as she threw herself at his feet, \"My lord, Feng’er died so tragically, you must avenge him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enmity of killing one’s child cannot go unavenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he needed to know where the enemy was, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disappearance of the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and the Princess Consort was already well-known across the Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yongcheng Bo Heir was killed because he kidnapped the Princess Consort Zhenbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was found, but what about the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and the Princess Consort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen’s soft sword, which he carried, was seen by Uncle Yongcheng, but he didn’t recognize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen seldom engaged in combat in front of others, and even less often drew his sword, so outsiders naturally never saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the Yongcheng Bo Heir was found at the cliff’s edge, he sent a servant to check below the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over an hour later, the servant returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing back what they found below the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dagger broken in two, a golden hairpin, and some torn clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the dagger was brought up, Uncle Yongcheng stood up in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized this dagger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gift from the late Emperor to the Old Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp enough to split hairs and cut iron like mud, an exceptionally good dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where were these things found?!\" Uncle Yongcheng asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the bottom of the cliff,\" the servant quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Heir of Prince Zhenbei and the Princess Consort?!\" Lady Yongcheng’s voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t see them, the bottom of the cliff was foul-smelling, bones and gnawed flesh were everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dare not guess if the flesh was from the Young Master’s horse or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the servants said so, Uncle Yongcheng and Lady Yongcheng believed that Xie Jingchen and Su Jin were both gone without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially worried about how to avenge their son, now with the enemies having fallen off the cliff, not only could they not seek revenge, they also had to conceal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Prince Zhenbei and Marquis Dongxiang found out their son and daughter were kidnapped and died from falling off a cliff because of the Yongcheng Bo Heir, they would surely retaliate against Uncle Yongcheng’s Mansion regardless of the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such anger was something Uncle Yongcheng’s Mansion could not withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the maids and servants who knew of the Yongcheng Bo Heir’s kidnapping of Su Jin had to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Yongcheng fainted several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yongcheng Bo Heir’s body was placed in a coffin, and Uncle Yongcheng personally brought it back to the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They claimed externally that the Yongcheng Bo Heir had been poisoned and killed at the other courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Zhenbei Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peony Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Nanzhang lounged lazily on the Imperial Concubine’s Couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Zhao was pouring her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid hurriedly entered, announcing, \"Commandery Princess, the Yongcheng Bo Heir is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Nanzhang was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who died?!\" She couldn’t believe it, instinctively thinking she misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Yongcheng Bo Heir died,\" the maid replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Zhao looked at Princess Nanzhang, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there wasn’t the slightest trace of panic on Princess Nanzhang’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids in the room withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile blossomed on Princess Nanzhang’s face, \"That’s truly good news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commandery Princess?\" Mrs. Zhao was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yongcheng Bo Heir was one of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him dead, how could the Commandery Princess be happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after thinking it over, Mrs. Zhao understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Princess Nanzhang, \"Should we send someone to report to the Old Madam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Nanzhang reclined on the small couch and said, \"The Uncle’s Mansion is all under the Old Madam’s control, how could she not know about such a big thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JingAn Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam kneeled before the Bodhisattva, earnestly reciting scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since last night, she had been feeling uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reciting scriptures could bring her some peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang stood by her side, Hongxiu approached and said, \"Mrs. Wang, a servant from the Uncle’s Mansion is looking for the Old Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang waved her hand, and Hongxiu withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang looked at the Old Madam, \"Old Madam, a servant from the Uncle’s Mansion requests to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam felt a pang of anxiety in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand, and Mrs. Wang helped her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kneeling for a long time, the Old Madam felt somewhat weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang supported her as they walked, talking as they went:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, life is so unpredictable; just the other day, we saw the Yongcheng Bo Heir on the street, and now he’s gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, poor Uncle Yongcheng only had one son, and now with his death, he has no heir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After toiling to earn a title and family estate, he now has no successor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam staggered, and Mrs. Wang nearly couldn’t hold her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Buddha beads in the Old Madam’s hand fell heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang knew how much the Old Madam loved the Yongcheng Bo Heir and was about to console her when the Old Madam stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam walked swiftly, kicking the string of Buddha beads into the corner piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exiting the room, the Uncle’s Mansion servant quickly approached to report the death to the Old Madam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood drained rapidly from the Old Madam’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision darkened, and she fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-06T02:20:04.016Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d431bb12782b36fe8def187475d9d7a2fc7791b54aef53991bdd9c04e0adc92","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-518","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-516",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-cover.jpg"]
