Chapter 180 - 180: Communication
Qin Zhenzhen beamed with a grateful smile and said, “Thanks for your help.”
“You’re welcome.”
The guards divided their forces, escorting the four men into the governmental office, while the others remained to maintain order.
As onlookers caught sight of Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong, they couldn’t help but be moved by the scene.
“The Jiang Family in the capital truly has an abundance of talent.” “Even their descendants from outside the family are remarkably powerful.” “Cooking, medical skills, martial arts—what don’t they excel in?”
“The son-in-law they’ve chosen is truly exceptional, ranking first among them!”
As the crowd surrounded Su Bin, the examinees were all curious, bombarding him with questions about his remarkable achievement.
It was a challenge for Su Bin to find space amidst the crowd.
Qin Zhenzhen then took out a money bag she had prepared and poured its contents onto the ground.
“Let’s collect the happiness money! ”
“Good luck! Good luck!”
The candidates eagerly scrambled for the money in the underground passage.
Their interest wasn’t in the money itself but rather in the belief that acquiring this ‘happiness money’ brought good luck and would ensure their success in the next examination.
Once Su Bin was done, he left and began his journey back to the Chen Family. A sense of joy overwhelmed him, and he couldn’t resist asking Qin Zhenzhen,
“Did you already prepare the money? Were you confident I would rank at the
Pursing her lips, Qin Zhenzhen responded, “I’m not a deity. How could I have predicted your result? I just wanted to be prepared in case people called you stingy for not sharing the wedding money.”
Su Bin casually remarked, “Darling, you’re always so thoughtful.”
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but glare at him. “No need to act here; there are no outsiders.”
Innocently, Su Bin replied, “It’s second nature to me. Can’t blame me for that.” At a loss for words, Qin Zhenzhen quickened her pace.
Walking behind them, Qin Silong furrowed his brow. Did Su Bin do that on purpose?
Ignoring Zhenzhen for two months and now suddenly trying to flirt with her?
The examination concluded smoothly, without any issues, leaving the governor thoroughly satisfied.
In recent days, the governor noticed his mother’s improved health. Her back no longer ached, and she had a healthy appetite. Her joyful laughter further uplifted the governor’s spirits.
Upon learning that Qin Zhenzhen’s husband had achieved the top rank in the examination, the governor held her in even higher regard.
The interrogation of the four men took place on the same day.
Despite their accents resembling those of the capital, the men vehemently denied any association with the Jiang Family. Under torture, they confessed to being bandits from the notorious Meishan Mountain bandits’ nest.
Their leader, Elder Brother, had heard rumors about Qin Zhenzhen being a lucky star, capable of bringing prosperity to her family and husband. Motivated by this, he ordered the kidnapping, intending to make her his wife. Seeing that their confessions were consistent, the officer closed the case.
Qin Zhenzhen knew this would be the inevitable outcome.
Even if she had insisted that they were from the Jiang Family, it wouldn’t have served her well.
She understood her limitations; she wasn’t strong enough to challenge the Jiang Family, especially considering their connections to the Emperor.
Even if the governor had known that those people were sent by the Jiang Family, it’s doubtful he would have stood by Qin Zhenzhen’s side either.
However, after this incident was exposed, it was unlikely that the Jiang Family would dare to make any further attempts to kidnap her.
Nonetheless, losing four men had likely left the Jiang Family resentful, and they wouldn’t simply let her go.
With this grudge now settled, Qin Zhenzhen planned to expose Su Bin’s background and reveal his identity as the Young Master of the Marquis’
Mansion. This move would serve as a deterrent against the Jianz Family, preventing them from targeting her and her family.
In the past few days, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin’s names were on everyone’s lips throughout the prefecture.
But it was Qin Zhenzhen who garnered the most attention.
The story of how her family had supported her husband spread like wildfire, magnifying her reputation across the entire region..
