Chapter 409: Suppressed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Bin confided in Qin Zhenzhen about the Crown Prince’s attempt to enlist him.
a.n.a.lyzing the situation, Su Bin remarked, “If he’s making this move, it must be because my exam results are quite impressive.”
“At the very least, I should secure a place in the top three. That’s why he’s interested in bringing me on board.”
“He might also be aware of what transpired before.”
A faint smile played on Qin Zhenzhen’s lips. Su Bin’s self-a.s.sured demeanor could easily be misconstrued as arrogance by those unaware of the context. Had she not already foreseen the plot and known that he had clinched the first place in this year’s capital examination, she might have been inclined to think similarly.
After all, securing a spot in the top three was no small feat.
“Wife, what’s so amusing? Do you doubt my abilities and think I’m boasting?” Su Bin inquired.
Qin Zhenzhen wore a radiant smile as she responded, “I would never doubt you. I know you possess boundless wisdom and strategic prowess. Your literary talents are exceptional, and I have no doubt you’ll be listed on the Golden List.” “You might even claim the top spot as the High Scholar Primus.”
Unaware of the true circ.u.mstances and believing Qin Zhenzhen was simply offering support, Su Bin found himself pleased. “You truly believe in me? You’re not just trying to humor me, are you?”
Qin Zhenzhen’s smile grew even more luminous, and she playfully teased him, “I’ve always believed in you. Otherwise, why would I have insisted on marrying you back then?”
“I had this notion that one day, when you rise to prominence, I’ll bask in wealth and glory for the rest of my life.”
Su Bin responded with laughter rather than annoyance. “Well, it seems your taste is indeed impeccable!”
Feigning surprise, Qin Zhenzhen added, “Oh? I thought you’d be upset if I said that!”
Su Bin hugged Qin Zhenzhen. “Why would I be angry? Such a beautiful and capable wife is hard to find.”
Qin Zhenzhen teased him. “I wonder who it was that wanted to strangle me to death?”
Su Bin did not look embarra.s.sed at all. He grabbed Qin Zhenzhen’s hand. “That was because I was blind. Wife, hit me until I vent my anger!”
Qin Zhenzhen was not willing to hit him. She retracted her hand.
Su Bin was in a good mood. “Wife, you can’t bear to hit me, right?”
Qin Zhenzhen pushed him away. “Who can’t bear to hit you? I just don’t want my hand to hurt anymore!”
Su Bin hit himself. “I’m really stupid. I didn’t even think of this. Wife, I’ll fight for you.”
Qin Zhenzhen did not know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly grabbed Su Bin’s hand. “You’re not allowed to hit me anymore. Your face is swollen. I don’t love you anymore.”
“To be honest with you, I don’t just love your talent. I love your face even more.”
“If your face is disfigured one day, I won’t love you anymore. So, you have to take good care of your face.”
Su Bin laughed out loud again.
“I understand, wife. Don’t worry. As long as you like it, I will definitely protect “Including our family, I will also protect it well!”
“However, since that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Crown Prince has interfered in this matter, I will definitely be suppressed.”
“Even if I am on the Golden List, my name definitely won’t be ranked high.”
“I’ve already received a secret letter. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Crown Prince has already asked the five main examiners to push my ranking back.”
Qin Zhenzhen was very surprised. “I didn’t expect the Crown Prince to do this. He’s really a little stupid!”
“If we were to reveal this secret to the Third Prince and the Emperor, it would undoubtedly put the Crown Prince in a precarious position, and he would have to face the consequences.”
In every dynasty, the imperial examination held great significance, and any form of cheating or manipulation carried severe penalties.
Su Bin shook his head thoughtfully. “The Crown Prince may not be as foolish as we think. He likely didn’t antic.i.p.ate that the Dragon Phoenix Hall is so well-informed..
