Chapter 485 - 485: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Qin Zhenzhen gently pulled him into the room. “What’s bothering you so much?”

Su Bin recounted the events that had transpired.

“At first, I was somewhat moved, but not to the extent of being deeply touched.”

“However, later on, he actually urged me to align with the Crown Prince’s faction. I couldn’t bear it!”

“He should be well aware of the Crown Prince’s character!”

“Ultimately, it’s his own self-interest at play!”

“He seems to believe that by offering the death exemption token, he can keep me in the capital. If I were to become the Crown Prince’s subordinate, the benefits to the Marquis Mansion might outweigh the value of a death exemption token.”

Qin Zhenzhen consoled him, “Don’t let it get to you. In reality, he’s primarily concerned about your safety. His intentions are good.” “At the very least, he’s willing to use the death exemption card for your sake.”

“As for selfishness, everyone possesses a degree of it.”

Su Bin embraced Qin Zhenzhen. “Wife, you’re quite forgiving of him. You’re right; I won’t be upset anymore.”

“As long as he refrains from attempting to outsmart us, this matter will be put to rest.”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “Exactly. We’re leaving the capital anyway.”

Finally, Su Bin managed a smile. “You’re right, out of sight, out of mind.”

The revelation of the Old Marquis’s intention to utilize the death exemption token in exchange for Su Bin’s transfer order with the Emperor swiftly reached the Crown Prince’s ears.

Word of Su Bin’s rendezvous with the Old Marquis at Zhenzhen Restaurant spread

throughout the capital, prompting widespread discussion.

People couldn’t help but speculate about the sudden death of the Marquis Mansion’s Madame, surmising that it might be a form of retribution.

The prevailing belief was that she had committed an unforgivable act. She had initially poisoned the Old Marquis’s wife, then falsely incriminated Su Bin with the intent to sabotage his future. Her actions had been so reprehensible that even the Old Marquis couldn’t tolerate them.

However, the Old Marquis still lacked the courage to publicly acknowledge his mistake from that time.

Su Bin remained steadfast in his principles, emphasizing the importance of respecting their father’s decisions and not opposing them. Unless the Old Marquis openly admitted his fault, Su Bin wouldn’t compromise.

These stories proliferated, generating a range of responses. Some individuals sympathized with the Old Marquis, lauding his evident sincerity. Others criticized him for failing to summon the courage to admit his mistake. There were even those who chastised Su Bin for being unyielding.

“Do you believe that the Old Marquis’s offer to use the death exemption card is genuine or a facade?”

“It’s authentic! I heard that the Old Marquis had made up his mind about this. His sons and grandsons jointly blocked his path and pleaded with him to reconsider. They even knelt in unison, imploring him to leave the family heirloom behind.”

“Nonetheless, the Old Marquis remained resolute, donned a stern countenance, and instructed the guards to forcibly remove them one by one. He warned them that any further attempts to obstruct him would result in punishment.” Elder voices arose in defense of the Old Marquis.

“I believe that, given the Old Marquis’s willingness to present the death exemption card, Primus Su should consider reuniting with his siblings at the Marquis Mansion.”

“Let bygones be bygones.”

“In my opinion, even if the Old Marquis doesn’t offer the death exemption card, Primus Su should come back to the Marquis Mansion to pay respects to his forebears. It’s the responsibility of a grandson!” The young man voiced his support for Su Bin.

“I completely agree with Primus Su!”

“If you argue that Primus Su should return to the Marquis Mansion to fulfill his duty as a grandson by acknowledging his ancestors and family, then let me pose this question: Did Su Bin forsake his responsibility as a son by defying his father’s wishes?”

“I heard that Primus Su declined the Old Marquis’s offer and preferred to forgo the death exemption card rather than be indebted to him.. That’s a testament to his strong principles!”
