In truth, it wasn’t easy for others to uncover her using this method.
Had Qin Zhenzhen not transmigrated here, she might have succeeded.
The Old Marquis, deeply concerned, discussed the matter with Su Bin. “When you return to the Marquis Mansion, I hope you can promise in front of our guests that you’ll treat them well.”
Su Bin’s expression remained stoic. “It’s premature to make such assurances.”
“If you can’t fulfill my request, I won’t return to the Marquis Mansion, ” the Old
Marquis admitted with a teary gaze.
He believed he had already made a significant concession, but Su Bin’s understanding remained elusive.
“Bin’er, you bear the blood of the Marquis Mansion. Don’t think that the fate of the Marquis Mansion has no bearing on you.”
“I’d rather die than publicly admit my past mistakes, as you suggest.”
“Have you ever considered the consequences? Acknowledging my past errors means admitting to favoring concubines and causing my wife’s death. The Emperor could strip me of my title, and the Marquis Mansion could be dissolved.”
Then what was the purpose of pleading with Su Bin to return to the Marquis Mansion?
Su Bin found the Old Marquis both pitiable and infuriating.
However, he held steadfast to his stance. “I didn’t think that far ahead.’
“All I know is that we can’t let our father’s sacrifices be in vain. We can’t disrespect his choices from the past.”
As the Old Marquis remained unwilling to admit his mistakes, returning seemed unlikely.
Suddenly, the Old Marquis inquired, “Bin’er, are you aware that the Marquis
Mansion possesses a pardon token?”
Su Bin responded calmly, “I am aware.”
“Are you suggesting that you possess this death exemption card, which could be used to secure a position as the heir with the Emperor’s approval, but you’ve chosen not to do so?”
The Old Marquis remained silent. That was exactly what he had intended to convey.
“You may also be considering that, if I were to use all my influence to present your equal wife case to the government, you could then exchange the death exemption medal with the Emperor to absolve your past mistakes and quash this matter?”
Once more, the Old Marquis fell into silence. He had entertained that thought as well.
“Do you believe a death exemption medal can change my decision?” Su Bin peered at the Old Marquis with a complex expression.
After a moment of silence, the Old Marquis suddenly knelt before Su Bin.
Su Bin reacted swiftly, pulling him back up, his expression darkening.
“Don’t worry, I won’t back you into a corner!”
“Our father chose to step back and save your face in the past. Now, I can follow in his footsteps and save your face without dredging up the past.”
“But if you desire to save your face, you have no right to demand that we return to the Marquis Mansion!”
Each word from Su Bin pierced the Old Marquis’s heart like a knife.
Su Bin also produced a stack of banknotes.
“This is the money I borrowed from you back then. I’ll repay it with interest!”
“No need for secret executions, and no need to hope for our return to the
Marquis Mansion.”
“From this moment forward, our paths are entirely separate!”
“If you ever kneel before me again, I won’t help you up, for you are no longer my grandfather!”
Su Bin’s countenance darkened, his tone mirroring that of his father from years past.
The Old Marquis was left in a state of shock. “Bin’er…”
It brought back memories of Su Bin’s father, who had once said to him, “Henceforth, we are strangers to each other! You are no longer my father, and I am not your son!”
Su Bin motioned for him to depart. “Marquis, please leave.”
“Bin’er, give me some time to consider…’
In a daze, the Old Marquis returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Qin Zhenzhen let out a sigh of relief.
In the original storyline, Su Bin harbored an intense hatred for the Old Marquis. No matter how remorseful the Old Marquis appeared, Su Bin remained impassive. He systematically eliminated everyone in the Marquis Mansion, causing the Old Marquis immense anguish.
But now, Su Bin had made the decision to spare everyone in the Marquis
Mansion..
