Chapter 468: Theyre Not Wrong

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Old Marquis believed that he had made a significant concession and hoped that Su Bin would understand his position.

However, Su Bin remained resolute.

Su Bin was not willing to simply let go of the Old Marquis equal wife. Nevertheless, her private execution was of little consequence to him.

What Su Bin truly desired was for the Old Marquis to admit his mistakes and publicly reveal the truth about his fathers departure from home.

The private execution of the Old Marquis equal wife held no bearing in Su Bins grand plan. If he wished to press charges against her in a court of law, he could have her sentenced as he saw fit. The act of a concubine murdering her primary wife typically warranted a death sentence by hanging.

Su Bin aimed to make everyone aware of the methods this woman had employed to cause his grandmothers death and compel his father to leave.

He sought to expose the fact that his father had not acted recklessly back then but rather that his grandfather had lavished favor upon the concubine who was responsible for his wifes demise.

Despite holding some evidence, it was not sufficient to send the Old Marquis equal wife to the gallows due to the pa.s.sage of time. It also failed to expose the Old Marquiss past errors.

Hence, Su Bin knew he required the Old Marquis to confess willingly.

The Old Marquis was keenly aware of this, which prompted him to communicate with Su Bin in this manner.

Yet, the Old Marquis had no intention of complying.

Biner, as long as you dont ask me to do this, I would rather give the entire Marquis Mansion to you. Im genuinely giving it to you! Ill have your uncles, nephews, and nieces move to the side rooms, leaving the main room empty. Su Bins lips curled into a sardonic smile.

He understood that the Old Marquiss offer was rooted in his desire for Su Bin to return to the Marquis Mansion and become the heir. This way, after the Old Marquiss pa.s.sing, Su Bin would ascend to the t.i.tle of Marquis, ensuring the continuous flow of funds from the Imperial Court to support the Marquis Mansion. With this arrangement, the Marquis Mansion would thrive under his leaders.h.i.+p, and the Old Marquis would not feel ashamed before his ancestors. It was all about preserving the Old Marquiss face, both in life and death.

For the sake of face, the Old Marquis was willing to agree to the private execution of the woman he loved most and to relocate his favorite sons to lesser rooms.

Su Bins smile grew colder. Arent you afraid that Ill eliminate them one by one once I become Marquis?

The Old Marquis appeared surprised. Do you know how to do it?

Su Bin retorted, What do you think?

The Old Marquis considered and responded, I dont believe you will! Youre already the master of the Marquis Mansion, and they wouldnt dare challenge you. All they need is a monthly stipend.

But if you were to harm them, it would tarnish your reputation.

Furthermore, they are not to blame for their mothers actions.

Su Bin reminded him, What transpired in the past may not directly involve them, but you arranged for someone to frame me and destroy my future. Can you honestly claim that it has nothing to do with them?

The Old Marquis shook his head. It truly has nothing to do with them!

If it were related to them, the situation would have escalated beyond framing Su Bin. They might have even plotted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him and others. Such an incident would have drawn significant attention, and the Old Marquis would surely have been alerted.

Perhaps Baoer had taken this into account, concealing the information from their sons and opting for a covert approach she believed no one would uncover.

Even if she were exposed, she had a ready defense. She could argue, If I were behind it, why wouldnt I simply eliminate them outright?

This was her modus operandi, always choosing the path she deemed the safest to achieve her objectives..
