Su Bin received news of Qin Silongâs 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 Silongâs efforts, Su Bin didnât 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 riotersâ 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 Binâs suspicion that Qin Silong and
Qin Zhenzhen were hiding crucial information from him. Despite the Dragon
Phoenix Hall being well-informed, they were unaware of the secret passage in the Three Flowers County castle. Su Bin pondered how Qin Silongâs 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 Binâs unease, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, âWhatâs wrong? Have you received news about Fourth Brother and the others?â
Su Bin nodded and spoke with a forced smile, âYes, I was about to tell you.â Observing Su Binâs expression, Qin Zhenzhenâs heart raced with anticipation.
âFourth Brother and Second Brotherâ¦â
Su Bin quickly interjected, âFourth Brother, Second Brother, and the others are doing well. They have successfully captured the castle in Three Flower County.â
Qin Zhenzhenâs joy was evident as she exclaimed, âCongratulations!â
âI knew that Fourth Brother and the others would surely triumph!â
Su Bin, studying his wifeâs radiant happiness, then asked, âWhy donât you inquire about how they managed to conquer Three Flowers County?â
Taken aback for a moment, Qin Zhenzhen swiftly responded, âHow did they capture the castle? Did their letter explain it? Please, tell me quickly. Donât keep me in suspense.â
Su Bin gazed directly at Qin Zhenzhen, causing her heart to flutter.
âWhatâs the matter? Why are you staring at me like that?â
âAm I unrecognizable?â
âOr perhaps, am I not pleasing to the eye?â
âPeople say that pregnancy can make someone unattractive for three years.
Stop scrutinizing!â
Su Bin gently guided Qin Zhenzhen closer and embraced her.
âWife, regardless of how you change, in my eyes, youâre the most beautiful person in the world. How could you ever be anything less?â
âThen why did you look like that just now? Is there something on your mind?
Shouldnât 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 Binâs peculiar behavior.
âJust now, I gazed at you a little longer. Itâs rare to witness you so joyous, and it left me momentarily stupefied.â
âMy wife is so beautiful.â
Seizing the opportunity, Su Bin leaned in to kiss Qin Zhenzhen.
He scolded himself inwardly for his earlier demeanor.
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 brotherâs secret, so what?
Who didnât have one or two secrets?
