Chapter 279: Just Say It
Su Bin vividly recalled that Qin Zhenzhen never brought up the topic of divorce again after their encounter with the mysterious men in black within the forest.
Instead, she proposed a peculiar arrangement: they would feign a loving relationship when in the company of outsiders to deter the Jiang family from capturing her.
It was during this time that Qin Zhenzhen herself came to the realization that she had made a colossal mistake. This turn of events appeared entirely illogical.
Su Bin could not fathom how capable Qin Zhenzhen had become. To be honest, even Grandma Qin had initially been oblivious to her newfound abilities, never suspecting that Qin Zhenzhen’s talents would raise the alarm within the Jiang family.
Furthermore, Qin Zhenzhen had miraculously cured Grandma Qin’s eyes over the past three months. This implied that her transformation occurred after their marriage. If this were indeed the case, it was a perplexing development.
Suppressing his skepticism, Su Bin concealed it behind a composed expression.
"Mr. Chen, should Zhenzhen succeed in alleviating the Empress Dowager’s headache, could this pose any future risks?" Su Bin inquired.
Mr. Chen responded, "I was just about to elaborate on this matter."
"Based on the information we’ve gathered, the reason the palace allowed Miss Qin’s entry to treat the Empress Dowager was due to the Seventh Imperial Concubine’s visit to her. The Seventh Imperial Concubine mentioned Miss Qin and Grandma Qin in her conversation with the Empress Dowager."
"The Seventh Imperial Concubine’s objective is to exploit this palace entry situation as a means to intimidate Grandma Qin and Miss Qin. In order to secure her own safety, she has agreed to return to the Jiang family and employ them for the Jiang family’s gain."
