When Su Bin returned home, his expression remained dark.

Qin Zhenzhen gently pulled him into the room. Whats bothering you so much?

Su Bin recounted the events that had transpired.

At first, I was somewhat moved, but not to the extent of being deeply touched.

However, later on, he actually urged me to align with the Crown Princes faction. I couldnt bear it!

He should be well aware of the Crown Princes character!

Ultimately, its his own self-interest at play!

He seems to believe that by offering the death exemption token, he can keep me in the capital. If I were to become the Crown Princes subordinate, the benefits to the Marquis Mansion might outweigh the value of a death exemption token.

Qin Zhenzhen consoled him, Dont let it get to you. In reality, hes primarily concerned about your safety. His intentions are good. At the very least, hes willing to use the death exemption card for your sake.

As for selfishness, everyone possesses a degree of it.

Su Bin embraced Qin Zhenzhen. Wife, youre quite forgiving of him. Youre right; I wont be upset anymore.

As long as he refrains from attempting to outsmart us, this matter will be put to rest.

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. Exactly. Were leaving the capital anyway.

Finally, Su Bin managed a smile. Youre right, out of sight, out of mind.

The revelation of the Old Marquiss intention to utilize the death exemption token in exchange for Su Bins transfer order with the Emperor swiftly reached the Crown Princes ears.

Word of Su Bins rendezvous with the Old Marquis at Zhenzhen Restaurant spread

throughout the capital, prompting widespread discussion.

People couldnt help but speculate about the sudden death of the Marquis Mansions Madame, surmising that it might be a form of retribution.

The prevailing belief was that she had committed an unforgivable act. She had initially poisoned the Old Marquiss wife, then falsely incriminated Su Bin with the intent to sabotage his future. Her actions had been so reprehensible that even the Old Marquis couldnt tolerate them.

However, the Old Marquis still lacked the courage to publicly acknowledge his mistake from that time.

Su Bin remained steadfast in his principles, emphasizing the importance of respecting their fathers decisions and not opposing them. Unless the Old Marquis openly admitted his fault, Su Bin wouldnt compromise.

These stories proliferated, generating a range of responses. Some individuals sympathized with the Old Marquis, lauding his evident sincerity. Others criticized him for failing to summon the courage to admit his mistake. There were even those who chastised Su Bin for being unyielding.

Do you believe that the Old Marquiss offer to use the death exemption card is genuine or a facade?

Its authentic! I heard that the Old Marquis had made up his mind about this. His sons and grandsons jointly blocked his path and pleaded with him to reconsider. They even knelt in unison, imploring him to leave the family heirloom behind.

Nonetheless, the Old Marquis remained resolute, donned a stern countenance, and instructed the guards to forcibly remove them one by one. He warned them that any further attempts to obstruct him would result in punishment. Elder voices arose in defense of the Old Marquis.

I believe that, given the Old Marquiss willingness to present the death exemption card, Primus Su should consider reuniting with his siblings at the Marquis Mansion.

Let bygones be bygones.

In my opinion, even if the Old Marquis doesnt offer the death exemption card, Primus Su should come back to the Marquis Mansion to pay respects to his forebears. Its the responsibility of a grandson! The young man voiced his support for Su Bin.

I completely agree with Primus Su!

If you argue that Primus Su should return to the Marquis Mansion to fulfill his duty as a grandson by acknowledging his ancestors and family, then let me pose this question: Did Su Bin forsake his responsibility as a son by defying his fathers wishes?

I heard that Primus Su declined the Old Marquiss offer and preferred to forgo the death exemption card rather than be indebted to him.. Thats a testament to his strong principles!
