Chapter 423: Garden Tour
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Consequently, any man with a decent background would avoid becoming a prince consort, as they wouldn’t want to marry a princess and become an obedient husband unless they were particularly unlucky and the emperor decreed it. No one in their right mind would willingly wed an imperial relative and submit to their authority.
However, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but wonder why the fifth princess would take an interest in Su Bin, a married man. Why was this fifth princess as deviant as His Highness the Crown Prince?
Su Bin explained, “I’ll share the whole story with vou.”
He proceeded to tell Qin Zhenzhen about the fifth princess’s character and how she had set her sights on him, with the connivance of that wretched Crown Prince.
Qin Zhenzhen was astounded. The Crown Prince still harbored wicked intentions toward her. He had even dragged his fifth sister into his schemes.
These two siblings were both peculiar, with no moral boundaries to speak of. They were both manipulative individuals with lurid minds.
“So, the sweet words you spoke yesterday were meant for the fifth princess to hear?”
“Did you intend for the fifth princess to give up on her pursuit?”
Su Bin emphasized, “I’ve been wanting to say those words to you for a long time. Those words are genuine and heartfelt.”
“At the time, I wasn’t certain if that person was the fifth princess, so I decided to express my feelings in front of everyone.”
“The objective was to make her reconsider her actions.”
“But I may have underestimated her audacity.”
“I received a confidential report last night stating that the fifth princess visited the Crown Prince’s residence. These two mischievous siblings must be hatching a sinister plan.”
“Therefore, I need to warn you that people from the Crown Prince’s residence may come soon and extend an invitation.”
“There could be various reasons, such as someone in the Crown Prince’s residence falling ill, or the Crown Prince himself becoming unwell.”
Qin Zhenzhen scoffed.
“Even if the Crown Prince is unwell, I can choose not to go. If he can be sick, then I can be sick too.”
Su Bin found it amusing. “What ailment is afflicting my wife?”
Qin Zhenzhen quipped, “Morning sickness!”
Su Bin embraced Qin Zhenzhen. “You’re absolutely right. Why didn’t I think of that?”
“But, my dear wife, this lie can easily be exposed.”
“It seems I have my work cut out for me!”
Qin Zhenzhen firmly pushed him away. “You don’t need to work hard. I have my own ways to maintain this facade.”
“I refuse to believe that a woman with morning sickness like me can’t dissuade his advances!”
However, Su Bin immediately adopted a dejected expression. “Wife, pretending to have morning sickness may address your predicament, but it doesn’t resolve mine.”
“I’m a man, after all. I can’t feign morning sickness.” Qin Zhenzhen punched him playfully. “Quit pretending.”
“I know. You must have a solution!”
Su Bin was the book’s antagonist, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with cunning. While he had endured much hards.h.i.+p in his youth, after becoming the Primus, he was the mastermind against others. How could he let others outsmart him?
The Crown Prince and the Fifth Princess had hatched a devious plot. The Crown Prince would take charge of organizing a garden tour.
Invitations were extended to the children of wealthy families residing in the capital, as well as the top ten candidates from the recent capital examination and their younger siblings.
As the new Primus, Su Bin’s younger siblings had also been invited, including Qin Zhenzhen, his wife.
Su Bin’s younger brother was not in the capital, so only Su Ning would be accompanying them. The three of them would attend the event together. The Crown Prince and the Fifth Princess had carefully deliberated their strategy. During the event, they planned to separate Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin. Then, they would employ a cunning ruse to entice Su Bin into a prearranged room and use incense to impair his judgment..
