Chapter 268: The Temptation of Jiang Cha

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Ping informed Su Bin about Qin Silong’s promise to him.

“Third Sister-in-law must have spoken highly of me. Third Brother, please convey my gratitude to Third Sister-in-law,” Su Bin responded with a nod, though he couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

Why had Qin Silong’s attitude towards his second brother suddenly changed? And why had Qin Zhenzhen forewarned him about Qin Silong’s military camp visit? Could there be a connection between these events?

These questions lingered in Su Bin’s mind, leading him to seek out Qin Zhenzhen. When he arrived at her room, he found Jiang Cha in conversation with them. Not wanting to intrude, Su Bin lingered nearby to listen.

Inside the room, Grandma Qin expressed her dissatisfaction, “Jiang Cha, get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush!”

Jiang Cha responded calmly, “First and foremost, I want to clarify that it wasn’t the Jiang family’s recommendation; it was the palace’s request for Zhenzhen to provide a consultation. We wouldn’t harm our own people, and Zhenzhen is the most promising talent among our generation in the Jiang family.”

Grandma Qin’s irritation grew, “Enough with the nonsense. Get to the point.”

Jiang Cha then revealed the crucial information, “The Empress Dowager suffers from a severe and unusual headache that has plagued her for a decade. Neither the imperial physicians nor the Jiang family elders have been able to alleviate her pain.”

“So, Zhenzhen, there’s a 90% chance that you won’t be able to treat the Empress Dowager successfully. Moreover, the Empress Dowager’s irritability has grown during this period, and she has been known to harm those around her.”

“She even went as far as killing two imperial physicians, let alone those commoner doctors summoned to the palace. If they fail to cure her, they’ll face a brutal beating.”

“Nevertheless, the Empress Dowager will grant some leniency to the Jiang family. Even if the treatment yields poor results, immediate execution is not on the table.”

“This is because only our Jiang family possesses the means to alleviate the Empress Dowager’s symptoms. For the time being, she doesn’t wish to provoke any conflicts with us.”

Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin grasped Jiang Cha’s underlying message.

He was subtly reminding them that if they didn’t acknowledge their affiliation with the Jiang family, they would be treated like ordinary physicians. In the event they upset the Empress Dowager during treatment, she might resort to a lethal punishment.

However, if they openly acknowledged their connection to the Jiang family, they could evade such dire consequences.

In truth, Jiang Cha’s objective was to persuade Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin to acknowledge their Jiang family identity.

Observing their comprehension, Jiang Cha continued, “Don’t assume that the

Marquis Mansion’s granddaughter-in-law.”

“Presently, the Marquis Mansion is not what it once was. In the past, the Marquis held a position on par with the kingdom’s nobility. Today, the Marquis is even inferior to a third-tier city official.”

“If it weren’t for their ancestors’ significant contributions, the title may not have been hereditary at all.”

“Furthermore, Su Bin and the others have yet to formally return to the Marquis Mansion. Therefore, Zhenzhen isn’t truly recognized as the Marquis Mansion’s granddaughter-in-law.”

With those words, Jiang Cha cast an eager gaze toward Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin.

Remaining composed, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “Are you implying that you wish to convince us to rejoin the Jiang family? Is this your personal initiative, or is it on behalf of someone else?”

Jiang Cha responded, “This is the family head’s directive. Our family head highly esteems talent and values it above all else. He genuinely wants to ensure your well-being. ”

“Furthermore, the Master has affirmed that upon your return to the Jiang family, you will enjoy complete freedom, just as you did before..”
