Chapter 279: Just Say It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Bin vividly recalled that Qin Zhenzhen never brought up the topic of divorce again after their encounter with the mysterious men in black within the forest.

Instead, she proposed a peculiar arrangement: they would feign a loving relationship when in the company of outsiders to deter the Jiang family from capturing her.

It was during this time that Qin Zhenzhen herself came to the realization that she had made a colossal mistake. This turn of events appeared entirely illogical.

Su Bin could not fathom how capable Qin Zhenzhen had become. To be honest, even Grandma Qin had initially been oblivious to her newfound abilities, never suspecting that Qin Zhenzhen’s talents would raise the alarm within the Jiang family.

Furthermore, Qin Zhenzhen had miraculously cured Grandma Qin’s eyes over the past three months. This implied that her transformation occurred after their marriage. If this were indeed the case, it was a perplexing development.

Suppressing his skepticism, Su Bin concealed it behind a composed expression.

“Mr. Chen, should Zhenzhen succeed in alleviating the Empress Dowager’s headache, could this pose any future risks?” Su Bin inquired.

Mr. Chen responded, “I was just about to elaborate on this matter.”

“Based on the information we’ve gathered, the reason the palace allowed Miss Qin’s entry to treat the Empress Dowager was due to the Seventh Imperial Concubine’s visit to her. The Seventh Imperial Concubine mentioned Miss Qin and Grandma Qin in her conversation with the Empress Dowager.”

“The Seventh Imperial Concubine’s objective is to exploit this palace entry situation as a means to intimidate Grandma Qin and Miss Qin. In order to secure her own safety, she has agreed to return to the Jiang family and employ them for the Jiang family’s gain.”

“The Empress Dowager’s intentions are quite transparent. She seeks to exploit this opportunity to eliminate both Grandma Qin and Miss Qin.”

“Her motives are apparent because she has endured a ten-year-long headache that defies treatment by even the most skilled physicians. Logically, even divine intervention wouldn’t suffice. She is effectively on death row.”

“This message originates from the nanny responsible for the Empress Dowager’s care,” Su Bin began, sharing the revelation.

According to the nanny, the Empress Dowager harbored an intense hatred towards Grandma Qin. This animosity traced back to a past incident where Grandma Qin’s actions had offended the Crown Prince at the time, leading to the Empress Dowager’s abandonment at the tender age of 17 and her eventual widowhood.

The rise to empress status was largely attributed to her bearing the emperor’s eldest son, for which she had been pregnant before her marriage. She attributed all her past misfortunes to Grandma Qin, insisting that if Grandma Qin hadn’t married into the distant countryside, she would have dispatched assassins to eliminate her long ago.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager’s true motive for summoning them to the palace was to seek an opportunity for revenge.

Upon hearing this, Su Bin couldn’t help but interject. “Is Grandma Qin aware of the Empress Dowager’s deep-seated hatred towards her?”

Mr. Chen shook his head. “I doubt it. If she knew, her demeanor would likely betray her emotions, and she wouldn’t have entered the palace with such composure. It’s safe to say very few people are aware of the Empress Dowager’s history of neglect from her husband. Had she not become a widow, her resentment toward Grandma Qin might not run so deep.”

Su Bin acknowledged, “You have a point.”

“But if Zhenzhen and the others successfully cure the Empress Dowager’s headache, couldn’t she then be dissuaded from accusing them further?” Su Bin inquired.

Mr. Chen responded, “The Empress Dowager may pause, but she’ll undoubtedly seek other means to keep them within the palace and devise alternative schemes to harm them.”

Su Bin contemplated his options. Perhaps he needed to consider officially recognizing the Marquis Mansion as his own and becoming the heir, which might deter the Empress Dowager from casually harming Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother.

Mr. Chen appeared hesitant, struggling to convey something on his mind.

Finally, he spoke up, “Su Bin, there’s something else you should know..”
