After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1174: Extra - 7: Tossing and Turning

The Marquis Dongxiang had never seen his son in such a miserable state.His eyes were swollen to the point that only a slit remained.

Mrs. Tang helped him remove the stingers.

She pulled one out.

The Young Master Su let out a miserable scream.

The Ninth Prince and the others fared no better.

The frightened bees would sting anyone they encountered, even the last servants who arrived were not spared.

If the Young Master Su hadn’t reacted quickly and jumped into the water, who knows what he would have ended up looking like.

Marquis Dongxiang looked at his son and asked, "Can you still see?"

The Young Master Su stubbornly held back his tears.

His own father’s "concern."

Made him unable to hold back, and he started crying.

Tears sliding down, the wounds burned painfully.

The Young Master Su’s heart was shattered.

He was his father’s only son.

He was stung like this, yet his father was gloating!

The Young Master Su turned his face away, avoiding looking at his father.

Mrs. Tang grabbed his face and said, "Stay still and don’t move."

Tears streamed down Young Master Su’s face.

Just as the stingers were removed from his face, Doctor Li arrived.

Bee stings are poisonous and should not be underestimated.

Mrs. Tang had only this one son, the Young Master Su, and the Ninth Prince and others, all of noble status, cannot be disregarded.

Only when the doctor said everything was alright could she be relieved.

If it weren’t for Su Jin being pregnant, Mrs. Tang would wish for her to take their pulse.

Doctor Li hurried in, and upon seeing Young Master Su and the others in a bruised state, he was truly shocked.

Especially since Young Master Su and the others were well-dressed and seated, Doctor Li, who hadn’t visited the Marquis Dongxiang Mansion for a long time, couldn’t distinguish who was who.

After taking their pulse, he was truly startled.

Young Master Su and the others were stung thirty to forty times by bees.

Bear in mind, too many bee stings can be fatal.

Doctor Li fed the antidote pills to Young Master Su and the others, then prescribed medication.

The anti-swelling medicine for Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince was formulated by Su Jin, so there’s no need to mention its effectiveness.

Young Master Su looked at Doctor Li eagerly, "When will I recover?"

"Two days," Doctor Li said heartily.

The wound itched a bit after applying the ointment.

He wanted to scratch.

But as soon as his hand touched the wound, a sharp pain radiated from it to his entire body.

He held a grudge against the bees!

Having been stung, Young Master Su was honest for two days at the mansion.

During these two days, he didn’t have to do anything, no studying, no horse stance practice, no Meihua Pole practice, or Wooden Pole training...

Normally, that would be paradise.

But with his face covered in welts, it wasn’t joyful at all.

Moreover, a steady stream of visitors came to check on him.

Upon learning that the Young Master Su and others were stung by bees, the Emperor dispatched Eunuch Fu to visit.

And the Zhao Family and Shen Family...

Even Old Madam Jibei, upon hearing that her grandson was stung, couldn’t sit still and came to see herself.

Madam Shen wanted to take her son back, but Young Master Shen refused to leave.

Mrs. Zhao simply didn’t even ask anymore.

Her own son got beaten at the Marquis Dongxiang Mansion, exhausted and fell asleep immediately, yet he wouldn’t return home.

He occasionally returned for a visit, but couldn’t stay for half an hour before wanting to go out shopping.

Now he was growing, and Mrs. Zhao saw when he returned he had grown a bit taller.

To see her son, Mrs. Zhao visited the Marquis Dongxiang Mansion frequently, but Mrs. Tang and the Duchess of Chong welcomed her warmly.

Passing time by playing mahjong together.

After two days, Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince’s facial swelling had recovered eighty to ninety percent.

The first thing Young Master Su did was visit Su Jin at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Su Jin knew they were stung by bees and wanted to visit the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, but Mrs. Tang would not allow her.

Pregnant, it’s best to rest assuredly.

Su Jin had to let it go, and now that Young Master Su arrived and seeing his face not fully recovered, Su Jin scolded, "Why did you mess with the beehive?"

"Those bees stung my cousin; I couldn’t sit idly by," Young Master Su said sullenly.

Yet in response—

Not only did he fail to avenge his cousin, but he also ended up disgracing himself and his friends.

He had never been this humiliated before.

If he didn’t avenge this, he couldn’t eat or sleep in peace.

So Young Master Su came to Su Jin to ask how to make the bees behave.

Although bees sting fiercely, they are much less dangerous than wasps.

Even his sister could handle wasps; why couldn’t he deal with a bunch of bees?

He would rise from where he fell!

Su Jin felt a headache.

They’d been stung like this, yet he still wanted to bother the bees?

"Aren’t you scared of being stung again?" Su Jin asked.

"I am," Young Master Su replied fiercely.

"Which is why I’ve come to you."

He’d come to her.

But even coming to her was still to provoke the bees, wasn’t it?

Why couldn’t he just stay away from the bees?

Knowing her brother’s personality, Su Jin said nothing further.

If he could learn from mistakes, he wouldn’t be getting himself into trouble repeatedly.

Moreover, not only Young Master Su, but the Ninth Prince and the others were also indignant, determined to deal with the bees that stung them.

Su Jin could only comply with them.

Giving them medicine to apply on their faces was better than letting them seek vengeance from the bees directly.

After obtaining the medicine, Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince stormed off to Long Bridge.

They searched for a long time but couldn’t find the beehive.

"Could my father have already avenged us?" Young Master Su speculated.

Then he shook his head hard.

His father wouldn’t possibly target a beehive like that.

He was more inclined to believe the bees had preemptively moved away, fearing retribution.

Young Master Su, unwilling to give up, continued searching.

All bees look the same; who knows which one stung them.

Especially since bees die after stinging, it’s detrimental to themselves.

But bees have siblings.

Without those siblings providing cover, they wouldn’t have been able to sting them amidst the chaos.

The four searched the Long Bridge all morning, encountering an old man, who informed them the beehive had been taken away.

It really had been taken away.

A nearby villager took the beehive home to make honey.

Young Master Su greatly admired that person.

Finally—

They brought the beehive back to Marquis Dongxiang Mansion.

The four of them found the villager and saw him tending to the bees, fascinated.

Especially when the villager mentioned that as long as he controlled the queen bee, the bees would obey him.

Young Master Su was shocked.

It’s easy to kill a beehive, but commanding bees, how impressive!

With one command, bees could swarm.

Sting whoever you instruct them to.

Wherever they go, they would be invincible.

Spending five taels of silver, Young Master Su purchased the siblings of the bees that stung them and brought them back to the mansion.

Hmm.

The beekeeper also came along.

Young Master Su’s thought processes were even beyond the understanding of Marquis Dongxiang.

But this resilient tenacity resembled his own at a young age, so he let him be.

Young Master Su raised the bees for a year.

The first person he stung was Princess Beimo.

The second was Prince Beimo.

Princess Beimo, "... ."
