surprise waiting for her at the Long Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these boring days, he could prepare a surprise for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin was genuinely curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how she pried, Xie Jingchen wouldn’t reveal a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one sentence: if he spoke, it would lose its fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin got annoyed several times and said she wouldn’t go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she couldn’t resist her curiosity and kept going back on her word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the window, Su Jin propped her chin and said, \"Out of the blue, why prepare a surprise for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing tilted her head, looking at Su Jin, and said, \"I’ve calculated, tomorrow is the 158th day since you captured the groom-to-be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barely counts as an anniversary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else?\" Su Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely unrelated, suddenly there’s a romantic gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin always felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting it early wasn’t allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delaying it wasn’t an option either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin agonized for two whole days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the day arrived, after all the waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She woke up in the morning full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To show her anticipation and importance of the surprise, Xingxing even specially picked out a new dress for Su Jin that she hadn’t worn before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a touch of light makeup, she shone like the most beautiful star in the summer night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, seeing Su Jin like this, even Xie Jingchen felt a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard silently prayed for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the heir’s wife knew, the surprise waiting at the Long Bridge wasn’t a surprise but actually a shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would she, in a rage, beat the Young Master to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen was worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either she doesn’t take the bait, or she’ll never let go once she does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t bear to dampen Su Jin’s enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in these two days, he racked his brains to think of a contingency surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what kind of surprise, it seemed undeserving of Su Jin’s excitement and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now it’s shock over shock, with no surprise at all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin sat at the table, urged, \"Where is he, why isn’t he coming to have breakfast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, Xie Jingchen had a throbbing headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two days he had been climbing through the windows to enter and exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to keep people from knowing he was still in the Prince Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming in from the window, Su Jin said, \"Hurry and eat, then we’ll leave the mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go first,\" Xie Jingchen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked at him, \"Why not together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll know then,\" Xie Jingchen’s voice drifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First is first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin ate her egg dumplings, biting her chopsticks, and looked at Xie Jingchen, \"Is this your first time preparing a surprise for someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder you’re so rusty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Jin ate breakfast while teaching Xie Jingchen how to prepare a surprise for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it’s a surprise, naturally, you must keep it a secret until the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Announcing it three days early, to whet someone’s appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s not enough surprise in the end, how disappointing would that be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard outside the window, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You better pray for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That breakfast, Xie Jingchen couldn’t taste a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had a good appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her meal, she hurriedly set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, she paid her respects to the Princess Consort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boarding the carriage, they headed straight for the Long Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Long Bridge was a bit far from the Capital City, though the scenery was beautiful, few people had the leisure to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bridge was still the same, but the scenery along the riverbanks wasn’t what it was back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they came before, it was early summer, now it’s autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lush mountains wore a layer of autumn colors, adding a bit of unique charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the bridge, as the gentle breeze blew, all worries vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wandering around, Xingxing couldn’t wait to take off her shoes and socks to play in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, when her feet touched the water, she withdrew them, looking at Su Jin, \"Miss, the water is a bit cold, you shouldn’t play in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing sneakily put her feet back in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was a bit cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bit of cold didn’t bother her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swam in the water twice, then reluctantly withdrew her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to go up the mountain to see if there were any wild fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Guard said, \"Don’t wander off, stay close to the heir’s wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing puffed her cheeks, looked around, \"Why hasn’t the groom-to-be arrived yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin walked around in circles but couldn’t find the hidden surprise. She felt a bit bored, sat on the bridge, dangled her feet, leaned on the bridge, and watched the clouds in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This weather, it couldn’t be better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too hot, not too cold, even the breeze tasted sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly waiting patiently for the surprise Xie Jingchen prepared for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of the expected surprise, what came was a group of assassins flying out from the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knives sliced through the air, tracing a water-sparkling arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water splashed on her face, and Su Jin cursed her luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why could she encounter assassins wherever she went?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t she have a carefree time?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin quickly stood up from the bridge, while the Hidden Guard shielded her and Xingxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the bridge wasn’t wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xingxing retreated, she stepped into an empty spot and directly fell into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingxing, \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splashing twice in the water, Xingxing didn’t dare to climb back up; cleverly, she hid under the bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassins’ martial arts were not weak, the Hidden Guard protected Su Jin while retreating towards the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the assassin’s sword was stabbing over, Xie Jingchen rushed over, flicking away the assassin’s sword with one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xie Jingchen there, Su Jin felt at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned against the carriage, Xie Jingchen in front, blocking the assassins from getting close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing two assassins, the third one charged over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen slightly dodged to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin’s sword went straight for Su Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen grasped the assassin’s hand, the sword slightly moved and stabbed towards Su Jin’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin hadn’t even reacted yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arm was already injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain made stars dance before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hurting Su Jin, Xie Jingchen seized the assassin’s sword and thrust it into the assassin’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the sound of horse hooves approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice arrived with four or five government officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the assassins besieging Xie Jingchen and Su Jin, they hurried to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the martial skills of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice were not as high as Young Master Beining’s, they were not worse than the assassins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice and another capable government official added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassins had nowhere to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice captured a live one, but before he could interrogate, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prepared for this, the Hidden Guard dislocated the assassin’s jaw, tapped some acupoints, unable to die even if they wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jin and asked, \"How’s the injury?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire in her eyes nearly turned Xie Jingchen to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think using an assassin’s hand to scratch her means it wasn’t his fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the promise of a surprise to lure her out for a stab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t explain clearly, this wouldn’t end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the government official inspected the assassins, extracting a token from one of their pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, have a look,\" the official said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the token, the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s brow furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This token, where had he seen it before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment he couldn’t recall, he said to Xie Jingchen and Su Jin, \"It’s not safe to linger here, the Young Master and his wife should return to the mansion quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is Lord Zhao here?\" Xie Jingchen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A thief stole my cousin’s family jade, and I chased him here,\" the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice replied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-06T02:20:06.552Z",1,"novelbin.me","dbc4174356aae50a0931d5174239207a6a9c549e7aefda7dccc65faf9fa0c0fc","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-781","after-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-chapter-779",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-transmigration-i-snag-a-stunning-bigwig-as-cover.jpg"]
