Chapter 354: It’s Right Not to Get Involved
Based on Su Ning’s description of the young man, the governor also harbored suspicions that he might be the Third Prince. However, the governor maintained his composure and pretended to inquire of Su Bin, "Su Bin, do you believe this young man to be the Third Prince?"
Feigning ignorance, Su Bin responded, "I’ve never had the chance to see the Third Prince, so I wouldn’t dare to speculate."
Perhaps due to Su Bin’s effective disguise, the governor opted not to pursue the matter any further.
Following this, the governor shifted the conversation and inquired about Su Ning’s marital status. It turned out he was interested in arranging a marriage between his youngest son and Su Ning.
While Su Bin didn’t outright decline, he made his position clear, stating, "I’ve already promised my sister that I won’t agree to any engagement for her until she’s of age."
"If fate allows it in six or seven years, then it won’t be too late."
This was a tactful way of turning down the proposal.
Su Bin believed that their ages weren’t suitable for such an arrangement. The governor’s youngest son was approximately ten years old, while Su Ning was nine, making them nearly the same age.
