After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Hmm.

Upon learning of the matter, the Minister of Revenue immediately entered the palace to plead his case to King Beimo.

The Emperor entrusted the case involving his nephew to the Prince Consort, who then tasked the Capital Governor and others to investigate the matter.

He had been hoping for the case to be clarified soon to exonerate his nephew.

Yet now, someone is taking the opportunity to add insult to injury, committing murder and framing others, pleading the Emperor to deliver justice.

The person responsible for this is known well by King Beimo.

However, it must be said that the Minister of Revenue is quite clever, but unfortunately, his opponent is the son of Marquis Dongxiang.

King Beimo waved his hand, saying, "I believe you are innocent."

"But now all evidence points to you, and the Prince Consort is eager to return to Daqi, adhering strictly to public service, so I cannot be too biased towards you."

"For now, your position as Minister of Revenue is suspended, and you are confined to your mansion until the case is resolved."

The Minister of Revenue turned pale.

He did not expect King Beimo to confine him.

Once confined, how could he communicate with other ministers in the court?

But King Beimo had spoken, leaving him no choice but to comply.

The Minister of Revenue took off his official cap and then took leave.

The moment he returned to the mansion, the Minister’s Mansion was completely surrounded.

Without the Prince Consort’s permission, until the case is resolved, only entry is allowed, not exit, from the Minister of Revenue’s Mansion.

This confinement lasted for seven days.

During these seven days, Su Yang had a carefree time.

He was in no hurry to return to Daqi.

It was the party of the Minister of Revenue who were anxious, as no one could enter the mansion, they were in the dark about how to proceed.

Those in the court who supported the Minister of Revenue began to waver.

Additionally, with the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Capital Governor forming marital ties, Young Master Zheng and Eldest Young Master Sun became highly sought after.

Before seven days passed, their betrothals were set.

Young Master Zheng: "..."

Eldest Young Master Sun: "..."

They had never considered their betrothals would be arranged so swiftly.

Could they say they had no impression of what their fiancées looked like?

Moreover, coincidentally, both their fiancées were close friends.

Young Master Zheng wanted to know what his fiancée looked like, hoping to meet her when she went out.

Just then, his fiancée went to Tanshang Temple to offer incense, and invited Eldest Young Master Sun’s fiancée along.

What a great opportunity, so Young Master Zheng dragged Eldest Young Master Sun along with him.

Hmm.

The two eagerly rushed to meet their fiancées.

The result—

They mistook each other’s fiancée.

You were quite chatty with my fiancée.

I got along well with your fiancée.

Young Master Zheng: "..."

Eldest Young Master Sun: "..."

Poor them, introducing their brothers happily to their fiancées, only to realize they made a mistake.

The situation was as awkward as it could be.

Unsure what to do, they worriedly approached Su Yang.

Su Yang had never admired anyone this much, but this time, he truly admired them.

Su Yang laughed till his cheeks hurt.

Young Master Zhou rubbed his belly even more.

Young Master Zheng said with a wry face, "Brother Su, Brother Zhou, can you laugh later and help us think of a solution instead?"

"What solution can there be? You can only swap the betrothals," Su Yang said.

Hmm.

This was actually their idea too.

But neither dared to go back and propose this to their parents, fearing they would end up with more broken feather dusters.

Moreover, this kind of thing being known would be embarrassing.

"Is it more important to not lose face or to marry the person you love?" Su Yang asked.

"Isn’t there a way to achieve both?" Eldest Young Master Sun said with a wandering voice.

Su Yang laughed, "I don’t have a way to achieve both, but I have plenty of ways to do neither; do you want those?"

Young Master Zheng: "..."

Eldest Young Master Sun: "..."

The two exchanged a glance and, mustering their courage, said, "Fine, let it be embarrassing then."

Then—

They became the biggest laughingstock in Beimo.

Su Yang hosted a banquet, inviting Old Master Zheng, Mr. Sun, and their relatives to the restaurant, narrating the incident at Tanshang Temple.

Su Yang sat while Young Master Zheng and Eldest Young Master Sun stood, wishing they could disappear.

Old Master Zheng wished he had a feather duster in hand, or else he would whip his son up and down.

Sneaking to see their fiancée was already out of line, but mistaking them?!

How come he didn’t just infuriate them to death?!

Only capable of stirring up trouble, never solving it!

Thinking about how widely spread this matter would be and how many would laugh till they lose their teeth, Old Master Zheng wished he could just beat his son to death.

But since the matter had occurred, anger was useless, so they can only accept the mistake, rescind the engagements, and arrange new ones.

Then—

Return home to beat their sons.
