Chapter 467 - 467: He Will Not Return to the Marquis Mansion

He dismissed his first wife’s allegations, attributing them to her attempt to sow discord between him and Bao’er because she couldn’t provide any concrete evidence.

The Old Marquis had always regarded his Bao’er as kind and virtuous. Even though he had blatantly broken his promise and fathered a child with his first wife, even designating that child as the heir, she had never complained or broached the topic.

In his eyes, Bao’er displayed great respect for his primary wife and had a deep affection for the heir. Regrettably, the heir had distanced himself from Bao’er at the behest of his mother.

In truth, she harbored a strong aversion to the idea of his children with Bao’er.

Now he recognized that his previous perception had been an illusion.

He feared that his wife’s accusations held some truth. When she was pregnant with the heir, he had once contemplated terminating her pregnancy, and after the heir’s birth, he had made several unsuccessful attempts to do so, but his wife had foiled his efforts.

Yet, she had never managed to procure definitive evidence.

The Old Marquis had not anticipated that Bao’er had concealed her animosity deep within and had feigned kindness on the surface. He had been utterly oblivious.

When she acknowledged orchestrating the plot against Su Bin, the Old Marquis even believed her, attributing her actions to her family’s instigation.

He accepted such an overt falsehood.

With a heavy heart, the Old Marquis released Bao’er.

“I concede my error. I deserve to be deceived!”

“If you genuinely wish to end it all, then go to the depths of hell…’

Without casting another glance, the Old Marquis departed from the temple hall.

The Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion was left in shock.

It was at that moment that she grasped the profound disappointment the Old Marquis harbored for her. He seemed to have abandoned all tolerance and concern for her life.

Regret welled up within her for the words she had just spoken.

In an instant, the facade she had maintained for all those years had been stripped away.

But she couldn’t bear the thought of ending her own life.

Moreover, she realized that the Old Marquis would not impose any punishment upon her, so she remained obstinate in not admitting her past mistakes.

She was aware that he had to preserve his own reputation.

He must be considering a way to address the issue at hand now.

The Old Marquis sought out Su Bin once more.

“Bin’er, let’s put the past behind us!”

“I implore you as your grandfather!”

Su Bin fixed him with a stern gaze. “You already know the truth, don’t you?”

The Old Marquis didn’t reply, signifying his tacit agreement.

“Was my grandmother’s death truly linked to your equal wife?” Still, the Old Marquis remained silent. Su Bin sneered. “In fact, I’ve already discerned the truth!”

“I’m merely asking to gauge your stance.”

“Now I understand that even if you were wrong about my father back then, you won’t admit your mistake because you believe preserving your reputation is more important than anything else!”

The Old Marquis made a concerted effort to lower his voice. “Bin’er, this matter has long since passed, and I’ve endured public ridicule for a considerable time. If I acknowledge my error now, who knows how many people will mock our

Marquis Mansion once more…”

Su Bin interrupted him. “You’re mistaken! That’s your Marquis Mansion!” He would never return to the Marquis Mansion!

Tears welled up in the Old Marquis’s eyes as he gazed at Su Bin with a pitiful expression. “Bin’er, please listen to my explanation.”

“I only learned the truth yesterday, but she genuinely didn’t poison her…” The Old Marquis paused, at a loss for words.

Su Bin taunted him. “She discovered food that countered the medication and had the kitchen prepare it for my grandmother. Isn’t that tantamount to poisoning?”

The Old Marquis then spoke resolutely, “Because she orchestrated a plot against you, I have already confined her to the temple hall.. Now that I know how malicious she is, I will deal with her privately and use her life to honor your grandmother’s memory!”
