Chapter 325: Two People Who Like Each Other

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A carriage sped along the official road heading back to Meijiang Prefecture

City, with four horsemen trailing behind it. Among the riders, two were Qin Silong and Su Ping.

In the vicinity, several discreet guards rode on horseback, all of whom belonged to Su Bin’s retinue.

Inside the carriage, Grandma Qin rested on a small bed, lying on her side. Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin sat in silence.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Su Bin whispered, “Wife, why don’t you lie down and rest on the bed as well?”

“If you think my presence is inconvenient, I can join Second Brother and ride outside.”

Su Bin reached for the carriage curtains, preparing to call for assistance. However, Qin Zhenzhen tugged him back.

“Never mind, there’s no inconvenience. You’re a scholar, not accustomed to riding horses. Going out could be even more troublesome if you fall ill.”

“It’s still three days until we reach the prefecture.”

Su Bin peeked out to see Qin Silong and his fourth brother. The dust stirred up by their horses nearly entered his eyes.

He withdrew, realizing it wasn’t suitable for him to be exposed to the elements. Falling ill would only burden his wife.

As he continued to train his body in the future, he aimed to excel in both martial and scholarly pursuits. For now, sitting inside the carriage with his wife was quite enjoyable. Although they couldn’t embrace, it was still quite delightful.

Glancing at her occasionally, Su Bin managed to sustain his cheerful disposition.

Qin Zhenzhen sat across from Su Bin, resting against the carriage’s interior with her eyes shut.

She preferred not to engage with Su Bin, concerned about disrupting her grandma’s sleep. Furthermore, she wanted to avoid talking to him altogether, considering his earlier proposal for compensation.

At night, while they were lodging at an inn, a fast horse approached from behind, causing Qin Silong to guard the carriage warily.

To their relief, it was a false alarm – one of Su Bin’s secret guards. He delivered a confidential letter to Su Bin, who then passed it on to Qin Zhenzhen.

After reading the contents, Qin Zhenzhen erupted in anger, exclaiming, “Chu Tianheng! He’s truly courting death!”

The secret letter revealed that the Crown Prince intended to have a woman from his residence feign illness and lure Qin Zhenzhen to his residence under the guise of a consultation, where he planned to harm her.

Upon learning that Qin Zhenzhen and her party had departed for Meijiang Prefecture City, he had contemplated sending someone after them, but his advisor, Mr. Huang, had advised against it.

Following dinner, Grandma Qin advised Qin Zhenzhen, “For safety, it’s best if you and Su Bin stay in the same room.”

Qin Zhenzhen hesitated, saying, “But I’m concerned about you being alone.”

Grandma Qin reassured her, saying, “Why would I worry? Your fourth brother and Su Bin are next door, and Su Bin has secret guards. Besides, the emperor could discover that you and Su Bin have always been pretending, and the consequences would be dire.”

Adding another point, she continued, “And now with the Crown Prince involved, maybe it’s time to stop pretending to be a couple.”

Qin Zhenzhen blushed and stuttered, “Grandma, I…”

Undeterred, Grandma Qin went on, “I can see how much Su Bin cares for you. He’s even willing to tie his life to yours, which is a clear indication of his genuine affection.”

“I can also see how you care about Su Bin. It’s evident that you have deep feelings for him too.”

“Two people who like each other, don’t have any other problems.”

“If only the two of you could have children soon.”

She couldn’t bring herself to believe that the Crown Prince would pursue any inappropriate designs on her, especially after she had given birth.

Qin Zhenzhen’s face flushed even deeper as she said, “Grandma, I understand. I’ll go talk to him right away.”

Ignoring her grandma’s suggestion of forming a genuine couple with Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen approached Su Bin to convey her decision to continue with their act..
