Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Observing Su Ning’s anxiety, Qin Zhenzhen decided to cease her playful banter.

“Why are you so on edge? Your third brother didn’t give his consent. He made it clear that he won’t arrange an engagement for you until you reach adulthood.” Su Ning let out a relieved sigh but still felt a touch of embarrassment.

“Third Sister-in-law, you’re quite mischievous. Why didn’t you clarify this from the start? Were you trying to enjoy my embarrassment?”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and replied, “You were getting so worked up. Are you blaming me for not being clearer?”

“But I’m a bit curious. The governor’s youngest son isn’t really that bad. He’s quite ordinary, and I’ve heard he’s rather intelligent. In a couple of years, he might become a Cultivated Talent.”

“We’ve dined together, and you’ve met him. I wonder why you reacted so strongly against him?”

Su Ning blushed once more.

“I’m not rejecting him. I just don’t want to be engaged at such a young age.”

“I want to get to know the person I’ll marry in the future. I don’t want to end up like my older sister, marrying someone like Wang Yizhi.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “Ah, so you mean you want to have a say in choosing your future husband?”

Su Ning’s face grew even redder. “I didn’t mean that I’ll choose on my own. When the time comes, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law will help me decide. I trust your judgment.”

Qin Zhenzhen thought to herself, I hope these are your genuine sentiments. If you’re willing to heed my advice, I’ll be at ease.

She had promised herself that she wouldn’t consent to Su Ning marrying Chu Tiansheng.

Qin Zhenzhen patted Su Ning’s shoulder reassuringly. “As long as you have faith in me and your third brother, we’ll certainly assist you in making the right choice.”

At night, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin entered their room, preparing to put on a charade. Regardless of their destination, they had to share the same room and bed.

Su Bin inched closer to Qin Zhenzhen, attempting to initiate a conversation. ‘Wife…

He had the intention of holding Qin Zhenzhen, but his nerves got the best of him. After uttering two words, he couldn’t muster the courage to proceed.

Qin Zhenzhen gave him an impatient glare. “If you have something to say, say it. Why beat around the bush?”

Summoning his courage, Su Bin ventured to ask, “Can I…’

Once again, Qin Zhenzhen shot him an irritated look. She sensed that he was acting differently tonight.

Having been glared at twice, Su Bin found the resolve to pose another question. “Did the magistrate’s wife inquire about anything?”

Qin Zhenzhen was mildly taken aback. “What do you think she might have asked?”

“For instance, considering the duration of our marriage, she might wonder why we haven’t had children yet.”

Qin Zhenzhen was startled. Did Su Bin have informants in the governor’s residence? Did he know about her conversations with the magistrate’s wife and the deals they had struck?

“Yes, she did inquire. Is that a problem?”

Su Bin’s demeanor grew serious. “Do you know why she asked?”

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t wish to conceal anything from Su Bin. She recounted everything the magistrate’s wife had discussed with her.

After hearing her explanation, Su Bin asked her, “Do you suspect that the governor is aligned with the Crown Prince? Is it possible that even the magistrate’s wife has ulterior motives in questioning you about these matters?”

Su Bin nodded. “I’ve just received a confidential message. That wretched Crown

Prince hasn’t given up on you!”

“He’s likely seizing upon the fact that we haven’t conceived after all this time, and he’s spreading rumors that I haven’t been intimate with you.”

” so…”

Qin Zhenzhen asked angrily, “He sent a message to the governor, and then the magistrate’s wife, pretending to be sisters, questioned me about contraceptive methods?”

Su Bin nodded in agreement.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t disclose the truth..”
