Chapter 161: Homemade Seasonings
Chen Youwei chuckled softly. "That’s my brother, Qin Silong, and this lovely girl is my younger sister, Qin Zhenzhen."
"Younger sister? Well, then, call me elder sister!" Chen Shanshan said with a warm smile.
Upon discovering that Qin Zhenzhen was her long-lost sister, Chen Shanshan felt a surge of excitement and eagerly held Qin Zhenzhen’s hands.
In turn, Qin Zhenzhen also liked Chen Shanshan, finding her to be a straightforward and amiable person. As the two girls spent time together, they quickly formed a close bond and even shared a bed at night.
Curious about Qin Zhenzhen’s presence in the prefecture with her brother, Chen Shanshan couldn’t help but inquire, "What brings you here? Can you tell me?"
Qin Zhenzhen frowned slightly as she recalled how her father had admonished her not to reveal any information. However, she decided to share the truth with Chen Shanshan, as she saw no reason to keep it a secret.
"Well, my husband is participating in this year’s examination, so we came along to support him. However, he’s residing in the settlement provided by the prefectural school."
Chen Shanshan was taken aback. "Wait, you’re married? And you got married at just 14 years old?"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Qin Zhenzhen explained that those actions belonged to the previous host’s life and not her own. She admitted that she, personally, would not have chosen to marry even at the age of 24.
Realizing the situation, Chen Shanshan sympathized and offered her advice, "Since your husband is staying in the school’s settlement, there’s not much you can do by following him. Besides, outsiders are not allowed inside, even family members or attendants. Perhaps, it’s best not to follow him there."
It was clear that Qin Zhenzhen’s situation was somewhat restricted, and there was little she could do in this scenario, given the rules of the prefectural school’s settlement.
