Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Bin confided in Qin Zhenzhen about the Crown Princes attempt to enlist him.

a.n.a.lyzing the situation, Su Bin remarked, If hes making this move, it must be because my exam results are quite impressive.

At the very least, I should secure a place in the top three. Thats why hes interested in bringing me on board.

He might also be aware of what transpired before.

A faint smile played on Qin Zhenzhens lips. Su Bins self-a.s.sured demeanor could easily be misconstrued as arrogance by those unaware of the context. Had she not already foreseen the plot and known that he had clinched the first place in this years capital examination, she might have been inclined to think similarly.

After all, securing a spot in the top three was no small feat.

Wife, whats so amusing? Do you doubt my abilities and think Im boasting? Su Bin inquired.

Qin Zhenzhen wore a radiant smile as she responded, I would never doubt you. I know you possess boundless wisdom and strategic prowess. Your literary talents are exceptional, and I have no doubt youll be listed on the Golden List. You might even claim the top spot as the High Scholar Primus.

Unaware of the true circ.u.mstances and believing Qin Zhenzhen was simply offering support, Su Bin found himself pleased. You truly believe in me? Youre not just trying to humor me, are you?

Qin Zhenzhens smile grew even more luminous, and she playfully teased him, Ive always believed in you. Otherwise, why would I have insisted on marrying you back then?

I had this notion that one day, when you rise to prominence, Ill bask in wealth and glory for the rest of my life.

Su Bin responded with laughter rather than annoyance. Well, it seems your taste is indeed impeccable!

Feigning surprise, Qin Zhenzhen added, Oh? I thought youd be upset if I said that!

Su Bin hugged Qin Zhenzhen. Why would I be angry? Such a beautiful and capable wife is hard to find.

Qin Zhenzhen teased him. I wonder who it was that wanted to strangle me to death?

Su Bin did not look embarra.s.sed at all. He grabbed Qin Zhenzhens hand. That was because I was blind. Wife, hit me until I vent my anger!

Qin Zhenzhen was not willing to hit him. She retracted her hand.

Su Bin was in a good mood. Wife, you cant bear to hit me, right?

Qin Zhenzhen pushed him away. Who cant bear to hit you? I just dont want my hand to hurt anymore!

Su Bin hit himself. Im really stupid. I didnt even think of this. Wife, Ill fight for you.

Qin Zhenzhen did not know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly grabbed Su Bins hand. Youre not allowed to hit me anymore. Your face is swollen. I dont love you anymore.

To be honest with you, I dont just love your talent. I love your face even more.

If your face is disfigured one day, I wont love you anymore. So, you have to take good care of your face.

Su Bin laughed out loud again.

I understand, wife. Dont worry. As long as you like it, I will definitely protect Including our family, I will also protect it well!

However, since that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Crown Prince has interfered in this matter, I will definitely be suppressed.

Even if I am on the Golden List, my name definitely wont be ranked high.

Ive already received a secret letter. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Crown Prince has already asked the five main examiners to push my ranking back.

Qin Zhenzhen was very surprised. I didnt expect the Crown Prince to do this. Hes really a little stupid!

If we were to reveal this secret to the Third Prince and the Emperor, it would undoubtedly put the Crown Prince in a precarious position, and he would have to face the consequences.

In every dynasty, the imperial examination held great significance, and any form of cheating or manipulation carried severe penalties.

Su Bin shook his head thoughtfully. The Crown Prince may not be as foolish as we think. He likely didnt antic.i.p.ate that the Dragon Phoenix Hall is so well-informed..
