Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning were deep in conversation when the Third Prince approached them.

Mrs. Su, Miss Su, its good to see you here.

Yes, Third Prince, they responded in unison, offering their bows.

The Third Prince appeared somewhat concerned. Youre not with Primus Su?

Qin Zhenzhen candidly replied, No.

Although Su Bin was collaborating with the Third Prince, Qin Zhenzhen was aware that he hadnt disclosed the entirety of his actions today. If he had, the Third Prince would likely have dissuaded him from seeking retribution against the fifth princess, for the sake of the imperial familys reputation.

Nonetheless, Qin Zhenzhen wholeheartedly supported Su Bins choices. Given someone like the fifth princess, if they failed to decisively subdue her, there was a high probability that she would strike back.

There were certain individuals who couldnt be afforded leniency. Even if it strained their relations.h.i.+p with the Third Prince, they remained resolved to exact just punishment.

The Third Prince wore a complex expression. Mrs. Su, may I have a moment to speak with you?

Qin Zhenzhen glanced at Su Ning.

The Third Prince promptly a.s.sured, Dont fret about Miss Sus safety. Ill have my guards watch over her.

Qin Zhenzhen consented. Your Highness, please.

They distanced themselves from Su Ning by several paces.

Mrs. Su, the incident on the cruise s.h.i.+p must have been quite unsettling for you.

Even commoners had likely deduced the cause behind the cruise s.h.i.+p incident. It was improbable that the Third Prince had not considered the fifth princesss involvement.

Qin Zhenzhen affirmed with seriousness, I was indeed taken aback at the time. Fortunately, my sister and I managed to escape a calamity.

The Third Prince examined Qin Zhenzhen closely. I a.s.sumed you were aware beforehand that someone intended to harm you.

With a serene smile, Qin Zhenzhen responded, How could I have foreseen an attempt on my life during a cruise s.h.i.+p outing?

Yet, as the saying goes, its better to be cautious than regretful. I am always on guard during such gatherings. Thats why I felt safe. I never thought someone would conspire against us.

In the end, we indeed encountered danger.

But I didnt antic.i.p.ate the orchestrator to be who it was.

The ident.i.ty of the individual to whom Qin Zhenzhen referred was clear to the Third Prince. The fifth princess, despite not sharing the same mother, maintained a relatively amicable relations.h.i.+p with him.

He, too, had not antic.i.p.ated the fifth princesss involvement.

The Third Prince displayed a hint of embarra.s.sment. I apologize, I truly had no prior knowledge.

Tolerantly, Qin Zhenzhen smiled, Its not your fault, Third Prince. You neednt feel ashamed.

The Third Prince sensed that he should not prolong his conversation with Qin Zhenzhen and broached the main issue. Do you have no idea where Primus Su has gone?

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head and clarified, I truly dont know. Arent we free after the banquet? I believe he may have sought us out for some amus.e.m.e.nt.

After the banquet, my sister and I also attempted to find him. Its possible that we missed each other, with neither of us successfully locating the other.

In that moment, as Qin Zhenzhen finished her explanation, she heard Su Nings voice calling out, Third Brother!

Third Sister-in-law and I are here! Su Ning called out.

Su Bin smiled and replied, Ive finally found you.

Qin Zhenzhen turned to see Su Bin approaching, and she greeted him with a smile. Third Prince, you see, my intuition was right, wasnt it? We were searching for him, and he was looking for us.

The Third Prince appeared to exhale a sigh of relief. Im relieved that Primus Su is unharmed.

He had been genuinely concerned for a while that Su Bin might have fallen victim to a scheme orchestrated by the Crown Prince..
