Su Ning was taken aback by the unexpected attempt of Qin Zhenzhen to enlighten her. She pondered over Qin Zhenzhenâs words, âCover your hands, let go if they are not hot, and change peopleâs hearts. If you canât change them, give up.â
Unable to contain her curiosity, Su Ning voiced her skepticism, âBut you havenât even started wearing the gloves yet, how can you be certain they wonât get hot?â
Qin Zhenzhen was initially taken aback by Su Ningâs response, but then she chuckled and said, âDo you really think thereâs a chance between your Third Brother and me? Youâre just kidding yourself!â
âYour Third Brother is incredibly talented and destined for greatness. Heâs handsome and proud, so how could he possibly have any interest in someone like me?â
While Su Ning agreed with Qin Zhenzhenâs perspective, she couldnât help but offer a counterargument, âThird Sister-in-law, youâre underestimating yourself! Youâre capable, fortunate, and beautiful!â
âThird Brother simply doesnât know you well enough, and heâs unaware that it was Aunt who pushed you when you accidentally stumbled towards him. Once he learns the truth, his opinion of you will undoubtedly change.â
Why give up without even putting up a fight? Why belittle yourself?
Qin Zhenzhen dismissed the topic with a wave of her hand, saying, âLetâs not dwell on this. Youâre still young and inexperienced when it comes to understanding adults, and youâre not your Third Brother, so you canât possibly fathom his thoughts!â
As the original book revealed, Su Bin held the highest official position, but he had never married.
Haunted by the tragedy that Qin Shi had brought upon him, he had grown averse to the company of women. His disdain for them was so profound that he couldnât tolerate any woman within three feet of him.
Except for his own sister.
If any woman happened to touch him accidentally, he would become irritable. Eventually, even Su Ning found it impossible to bridge the emotional gap between them.
There was one royal princess who had developed an interest in Su Bin and attempted to arrange a meeting with him at a banquet.
However, just as the princess approached him, Su Bin abruptly moved away, observing as the princess stumbled and fell to the ground.
He displayed no fear in offending even the Emperor himself.
This peculiar behavior left everyone questioning if he suffered from some sort of mental illness that fueled his aversion towards women.
It was evident that the original host, responsible for Su Binâs emotional scars, was the root cause of his affliction. The original host had caused him immense pain, to the point that he would find satisfaction in her demise once he attained power.
Su Ning refused to believe that Su Bin would ever fall in love with her.
Moreover, she had no interest in him whatsoever.
The most desirable outcome for them would be an agreement and subsequent divorce.
Although Su Ning refrained from directly contradicting Qin Zhenzhen any further, she had devised a plan. As soon as her Third Brother returned home, she intended to personally inform him of everything his Third Sister-in-law had been up to lately.
Their Third Brother was an understanding individual, and Su Ning was certain that he would alter his opinion of his Third Sister-in-law upon learning the truth.
Just as it had happened with her and her Fifth Brother. Two months ago, they harbored wishes for Third Sister-in-lawâs demise, but within a few days, they had grown reluctant to see her leave their household.
Su Cheng didnât pause to gather firewood. With nothing suitable on the ground, he climbed up a tree to cut branches.
Before long, he managed to secure four bundles of dry firewood, selecting the two largest ones for himself and leaving the two smaller bundles for his sister. Third Sister-in-law would carry the basket.
They were all engaged in digging yams, confident that they would fill the baskets, as mentioned by Third Sister-in-law. Little did Su Cheng know that those yam vines held medicinal properties.
Eager to assist them, Su Cheng hurried along the path. However, his thirst compelled him to seek water, leading him to a nearby ditch.
As he approached, he suddenly heard the continuous cries of a wild boar. He halted, realizing that the sound emanated from the trap his Second Brother had set.
What? A wild boar trapped in there?
Su Cheng couldnât help but quicken his pace.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, Su Ning and Qin Zhenzhen also caught wind of the wild boarâs cries..
