Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Silong shared the same belief as Qin Zhenzhen the Jiang Family was the more likely culprit behind the incident.

He couldnt fathom how despicable the Jiang Family could be. Now, he understood why Grandma had warned them about their past and urged Qin Zhenzhen not to get divorced.

Deep in thought, Qin Silong was interrupted by Su Ping, who asked, Whats on your mind?

Im trying to figure out who those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are, Qin Silong replied with a furrowed brow.

Su Pings anger flared, Arent they just robbers? Dumb bandits trying to rob a rich man!

But it seems like they had a particular interest in Third Sister-in-law; they had sacks ready. Do you think they want to capture her and enslave her?

He refrained from using the term Madame of the bandits, but the more he pondered the situation, the more convinced he became of the truth.

He reasoned that everyone believed Third Sister-in-law to be a lucky star, bringing prosperity to the family. Thus, it wasnt surprising for bloodstained bandits to covet a wife capable of bringing fortune and prosperity to a household.

Qin Silong sneered inwardly he was such a stupid man!

The idea of them attempting to make her the madame of the bandits disgusted him. It all made sense now they were bandits, after all.

Initially, he had thought the attack might have been orchestrated by those who wanted to obstruct his brother from taking the examination. They might have planned to abduct Qin Zhenzhen to pressure Su Bin into giving up the imperial examination, seeing how she had been helping him turn misfortune into fortune.

Qin Zhenzhens face darkened as she cursed inwardly. How could Qin Silong entertain such a preposterous idea that those bandits intended to make her the Madame of their gang?

She admonished him firmly, Stop talking now, or you risk reopening the wound on your back and bleeding again!

Finally, he heeded her warning and fell silent.

Due to Su Bins impending departure back to the county, Su Ning and the others didnt head up the mountain early that day. Instead, they decided to have breakfast with Third Brother and wait for him to leave before going to dig yams.

The night before, Su Lan had struck a deal with Third Brother, requesting him to persuade Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong to accompany Su Bin to the prefecture until the end of the examination. The family would cover all the expenses incurred during their stay.

In the morning, she wanted Third Brother to visit Qin Zhenzhens home early to discuss this plan. However, what she hadnt antic.i.p.ated was that some villagers informed her that something had happened to him!

They ran into robbers and Su Ping got stabbed in the back.

Shocked, Su Lan and the others rushed out of the house.

Qin Silong carried him back.

Seeing that he was covered in blood, Su Ning burst into tears.

Second Brother, {are you okay?

Su Lan asked as well. Are you badly injured?

Su Ping smiled. I am not seriously injured. But thanks to Third Sister-in-laws treatment, the wound is not bleeding any more.

But Third Sister-in-law told me not to talk, otherwise the wound would open

Qin Zhenzhen was speechless. What was wrong with him? He had said so much before he remembered what she said.

Su Bin looked at him strangely too. She told you not to talk. Why are you talking so much?

He stopped himself from saying anything more.

They helped to put him down.

Su Lan went to boil water.

They needed hot water to change clothes and wipe away the blood.

Qin Zhenzhen recounted the whole story.

Su Bins face sank.

He took Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong to the study.

Those people are most likely sent by the people who try to stop me from taking the examination.

Qin Zhenzhen pretended to be confused.. Then why did they try to kidnap
