Su Bin received news of Qin Silong’s successful capture of the castle in Three Flowers County without any losses, and he was surprised by the clever tactics employed. Although the Dragon Phoenix Hall had aided Qin Silong’s efforts, Su Bin didn’t anticipate that Qin Silong would uncover a shortcut.
Qin Silong had strategically used information about an escape route secretly dug by the rioters. By sending elite soldiers to infiltrate the castle, they successfully drugged the rioters’ food, located their headquarters, and burned over a thousand of them to death. Additionally, they captured more than 20 leaders, demonstrating the effectiveness of the operation.
The success of this mission deepened Su Bin’s suspicion that Qin Silong and
Qin Zhenzhen were hiding crucial information from him. Despite the Dragon
Phoenix Hall being well-inford, they were unaware of the secret passage in the Three Flowers County castle. Su Bin pondered how Qin Silong’s spies could have knowledge of this secret, especially when it was likely known only to the upper echelons of the organization responsible for digging it.
This revelation left Su Bin disappointed, considering the close relationship he now shared with Qin Zhenzhen. The fact that she withheld a secret from him, despite their marital bond and her carrying his child, troubled him.
Observing Su Bin’s unease, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “What’s wrong? Have you received news about Fourth Brother and the others?”
Su Bin nodded and spoke with a forced smile, “Yes, I was about to tell you.” Observing Su Bin’s expression, Qin Zhenzhen’s heart raced with anticipation.
“Fourth Brother and Second Brother…”
Su Bin quickly interjected, “Fourth Brother, Second Brother, and the others are doing well. They have successfully captured the castle in Three Flower County.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s joy was evident as she exclaid, “Congratulations!”
“I knew that Fourth Brother and the others would surely triumph!”
Su Bin, studying his wife’s radiant happiness, then asked, “Why don’t you inquire about how they managed to conquer Three Flowers County?”
Taken aback for a mont, Qin Zhenzhen swiftly responded, “How did they capture the castle? Did their letter explain it? Please, tell quickly. Don’t keep in suspense.”
Su Bin gazed directly at Qin Zhenzhen, causing her heart to flutter.
“What’s the matter? Why are you staring at like that?”
“Am I unrecognizable?”
“Or perhaps, am I not pleasing to the eye?”
“People say that pregnancy can make soone unattractive for three years.
Stop scrutinizing!”
Su Bin gently guided Qin Zhenzhen closer and embraced her.
“Wife, regardless of how you change, in my eyes, you’re the most beautiful person in the world. How could you ever be anything less?”
“Then why did you look like that just now? Is there sothing on your mind?
Shouldn’t we be happy that Fourth Brother and Second Brother won the
Qin Zhenzhen bombarded Su Bin with several questions in rapid succession.
This was prompted by Su Bin’s peculiar behavior.
“Just now, I gazed at you a little longer. It’s rare to witness you so joyous, and it left montarily stupefied.”
“My wife is so beautiful.”
Seizing the opportunity, Su Bin leaned in to kiss Qin Zhenzhen.
He scolded himself inwardly for his earlier deanor.
His wife was pregnant and experiencing strong reactions. She had no appetite, yet for the sake of her body and the child in her stomach, she compelled herself to eat, only to end up vomiting afterward.
One could imagine how uncomfortable she felt.
Yet, he had confronted her with a sour mood.
What a heartless fool he had been!
Even if his wife harbored her fourth brother’s secret, so what?
Who didn’t have one or two secrets?
