Qin Zhenzhen found Su Bin overly affectionate. She clicked her tongue at him.

You seem to have honey on your mouth!

Su Bin hugged her, refusing to let go. Then try it again. Ill make you feel sweet.

Qin Zhenzhen blushed.

Its broad daylight, and were in the courtyard. Arent you afraid Su Ning will tease us?

During her pregnancy, Su Ning wished she could be with Qin Zhenzhen 24 hours a day, fearing the old woman serving her might not be diligent enough and cause harm.

It had to be said that Su Nings sister-in-law was quite considerate.

A while ago, Su Ning mentioned needing to use the restroom, so she left.

Qin Zhenzhen took the opportunity to let the old woman a.s.sist her with other tasks, giving her some s.p.a.ce.

She wasnt accustomed to constant surveillance.

She cherished her privacy.

Su Bin rea.s.sured, Dont worry, Su Ning is not blind. When she sees us like this, she wont openly mock us. At most, shell hide and laugh secretly.

He desired his wifes happiness, wanting to s.h.i.+eld her from any impact caused by his earlier emotions.

If Qin Zhenzhen persisted in asking, Su Bin might end up raising another question. If his wife opted to keep this secret, it could adversely affect their relations.h.i.+p and her overall mood, especially during pregnancy.

This was certainly not favorable for expectant mothers.

Qin Zhenzhen playfully reached out and pinched Su Bins handsome face.

Dont change the subject. You havent answered my question.

Why were you upset just now? And you still havent told me how Fourth

Brother and Second Brother captured the castle. Were there many casualties?

Having regained his composure, Su Bin calmly shared the details mentioned in the letter with Qin Zhenzhen.

A sigh escaped Qin Zhenzhen.

Fourth Brother had not let her down.

He employed a strategy with minimal casualties to effortlessly seize the castle. Moreover, he utilized his influence to recruit a substantial number of supporters.

At this rate, the day Fourth Brother would ascend to the rank of general seemed imminent.

Yet, Old General Chens military camp, where Fourth Brother served, posed constant dangers, and every step was fraught with peril.

If Old General Chen continued to perceive her Fourth Brother as a threat, discovering his weaknesses could lead to execution, much like Chiliarch Yangs fate at the hands of her Fourth Brother.

Contemplating this, Qin Zhenzhens smile waned.

Do you think Fourth Brother will be in danger when he returns to the military camp?

Su Bin shook his head. Theres currently no immediate danger.

Qin Silongs successful expedition had garnered support from the Public House. Punis.h.i.+ng him after a victorious war with minimal casualties would not sit well with the soldiers in the camp. Moreover, it would harm General Chens reputation and, most crucially, disrupt the armys morale.

However, Su Bin harbored some concerns.

While we should celebrate Fourth Brother and Second Brothers triumph, reading the letter made me sense potential hidden dangers. Qin Silongs capture of the castle seemed too effortless.

The precision of the information he possessed was uncanny.

The prowess of the elite soldiers he dispatched was almost mystical.

It would be all too simple for someone to exploit a vulnerability, framing him as a spy working for an organization. Perhaps, in pursuit of earning merits, he intentionally staged a spectacle, transforming himself into a legendary figure. Qin Zhenzhen could discern Su Bins thoughts, but she still inquired, What hidden dangers?

She wanted to understand Su Bins perspective.

She was on the verge of confiding in Su Bin about the secret.

However, Su Bin replied, Wife, you neednt worry about this matter. Ill do my best to help Fourth Brother resolve any issues.

Refusing to relent, Qin Zhenzhen insisted, I want to know!
