Qin Silong’s spirits were high as he realized he could eliminate his adversaries from his past life without lifting a finger.
Qin Zhenzhen also shared his upbeat mood.
She paid no mind to any suspicions that Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion’s plan might raise.
She intended to seek assistance until the very end.
If Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion still sought to harm Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen had no qualms about exposing the secret.
Once Su Bin completed the county examination, she planned to negotiate with him. Together with her Fourth Brother, they would aid him in completing the three examinations in exchange for a divorce letter. In doing so, they would have nothing to lose.
Upon returning to her uncle’s residence, Qin Zhenzhen found herself surrounded by her cousins.
“Cousin, could you please enlighten us about what transpired?”
“Are the two words written in the book not your name, cousin?”
Qin Zhenzhen had no choice but to lie. “Of course not! I can recognize Su Bin!”
“The matter is crystal clear. There is no need to question me further, as Honglian made an error.”
Although her cousins were deceived, some remained skeptical.
They eavesdropped, suspecting that Honglian had been given specific instructions. The County Magistrate must have divulged something important. They yearned to uncover the truth from Qin Zhenzhen.
However, Yang Gan returned and glared at them. “Are you itching to experience punishment?”
These audacious brats were becoming increasingly daring. How dare they question the County Magistrate’s judgment!
The two cousins dared not inquire any further.
Yang Gan beckoned Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong with a wave. “Come here, I have something to ask you.”
Qin Zhenzhen knew that even if she could keep this hidden from everyone else, she couldn’t hide it from her ever-watchful uncle.
As expected, Yang Gan straightforwardly questioned Qin Zhenzhen,
“Zhenzhen, tell me the truth, did you recognize the two words in the book?”
Qin Zhenzhen decided to be honest. “Actually, I recognized it as Su Bin’s Essays, and those two words were signed by Su Bin.”
Yang Gan fixed his gaze on Qin Zhenzhen. What had gotten into his niece?
“How did you know that the book would harm Su Bin?”
When did his niece become so astute?
Qin Zhenzhen countered with a question. “If I told you I impulsively damaged the book out of anger, would you believe me, Uncle?” “I only realized the gravity of the situation later on.”
Yang Gan softened his probing gaze.
“Are you certain that Honglian was instructed to frame Su Bin?”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded.
“We simply lack sufficient evidence.”
“Then why didn’t you question the County Magistrate’s decision?”
Qin Zhenzhen retorted. “Uncle, you must have noticed that the County
Magistrate made the decision after receiving a note.”
“That note must be more valuable than money. We don’t possess any money, so how can we suspect the County Magistrate?”
“Furthermore, even if we persist, we can’t guarantee that Su Bin won’t be affected during the examination.”
“That’s why Su Bin denies the book is his and chooses not to pursue the matter for now.’
Hearing this, Yang Gan snorted. “I don’t think so!”
Su Bin’s second brother had already started tailing Honglian.
They publicly acknowledged the County Magistrate’s decision, but privately, they investigated Honglian.
Qin Zhenzhen understood her uncle’s concerns.
He feared that they would uncover the truth and expose the fact that the County Magistrate had accepted bribes..
