Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Observing Su Nings anxiety, Qin Zhenzhen decided to cease her playful banter.

Why are you so on edge? Your third brother didnt give his consent. He made it clear that he wont arrange an engagement for you until you reach adulthood. Su Ning let out a relieved sigh but still felt a touch of embarra.s.sment.

Third Sister-in-law, youre quite mischievous. Why didnt you clarify this from the start? Were you trying to enjoy my embarra.s.sment?

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

But Im a bit curious. The governors youngest son isnt really that bad. Hes quite ordinary, and Ive heard hes rather intelligent. In a couple of years, he might become a Cultivated Talent.

Weve dined together, and youve met him. I wonder why you reacted so strongly against him?

Su Ning blushed once more.

Im not rejecting him. I just dont want to be engaged at such a young age.

I want to get to know the person Ill marry in the future. I dont want to end up like my older sister, marrying someone like w.a.n.g Yizhi.

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

Su Nings face grew even redder. I didnt mean that Ill 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 youre willing to heed my advice, Ill be at ease.

She had promised herself that she wouldnt consent to Su Ning marrying Chu Tiansheng.

Qin Zhenzhen patted Su Nings shoulder rea.s.suringly. As long as you have faith in me and your third brother, well certainly a.s.sist 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 couldnt 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 magistrates 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 havent had children yet.

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

Yes, she did inquire. Is that a problem?

Su Bins demeanor grew serious. Do you know why she asked?

Qin Zhenzhen didnt wish to conceal anything from Su Bin. She recounted everything the magistrates 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 magistrates wife has ulterior motives in questioning you about these matters?

Su Bin nodded. Ive just received a confidential message. That wretched Crown

Prince hasnt given up on you!

Hes likely seizing upon the fact that we havent conceived after all this time, and hes spreading rumors that I havent been intimate with you.

so

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

Su Bin nodded in agreement.

Its a good thing you didnt disclose the truth..
