Chapter 278: Su Bin Can’t Understand
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was actually unwilling that the two sisters married the Seventh Prince at the same time.
She knew very well that although she was the main wife, the Seventh Prince admired the beautiful Jiang Fenglian first. She did not have the confidence to fight for favor.
She could predict that her life as the first wife would be very miserable.
Thus, she told the crown prince consort about her troubles.
The crown prince consort viciously plotted for her to send someone to abduct Jiang Fenglian and got her raped.
This way, it would be impossible for the Seventh Prince to marry her as his secondary consort.
The reason why the crown prince consort was so vicious was because His Highness the Crown Prince knew that the crown prince consort was behind the empress dowager’s sudden imperial decree.
Although the Crown Prince did not expose her in person, it was obvious that he was neglecting her and even speaking coldly to her.
The crown prince consort attributed all the bad treatment she received to Jiang Fenglian.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was not a kind person to begin with. When she received the promise that the crown prince consort would support her behind her back, she secretly kidnapped Jiang Fenglian behind the Jiang family’s master’s back.
Not only was she raped. She was blinded.
As a result, Jiang Fenglian’s prospects of becoming the Seventh Prince’s secondary consort and gaining entry into the Crown Prince’s residence were utterly dashed.
Faced with an irreversible situation, the head of the Jiang family had no choice but to shield his eldest daughter from the consequences of her actions.
To foster reconciliation, the Jiang family sought out a rural family and compensated Jiang Fenglian with a substantial dowry. This decision was also influenced by the fact that Jiang Fenglian was the biological daughter of the Jiang Family Head, making it inconceivable for him to contemplate silencing her through more drastic means.
Following her marriage to the countryside, Jiang Fenglian initially found herself adrift, but fortune smiled upon her when she encountered a good man. Over time, she gradually left behind the shadows of her past misfortunes and forged a new path in life.
Upon hearing this narrative, Su Bin nodded in understanding.
With this revelation, Su Bin couldn’t help but wonder about the complex relationship between Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin in light of their shared history of enmity with the Empress Dowager.
Intrigued, she pondered how Grandma Qin, with her astute intellect, must have been aware of the harm inflicted upon her by the Empress Dowager and her eldest sister. Yet, Grandma Qin had chosen to endure in silence, perhaps out of a sense of powerlessness and a desire to protect herself and her descendants.
Over the years, she had hidden her culinary and medical skills, never revealing them to anyone, not even her own partner. Consequently, those around her remained oblivious to her past and her remarkable talents.
It was only when Qin Zhenzhen unveiled her acquired skills that suspicions began to brew within Grandma Qin’s family, further complicating an already intricate web of relationships.
These revelations also held significance for the Jiang family, giving rise to a multitude of questions and mysteries that left Su Bin perplexed.
As Su Bin pondered Grandma Qin’s decision to suddenly impart her long-concealed abilities to Qin Zhenzhen, she found herself unable to unravel the underlying motive behind this unexpected act.
If Qin Zhenzhen possessed intelligence and talent, it was entirely reasonable for Grandma Qin to desire to preserve such valuable lineage. However, given the grave nature of this matter, one would expect Grandma Qin to have forewarned Qin Zhenzhen about the potential dangers.
After all, the repercussions were so severe that discovery by the Empress Dowager and the Seventh Imperial Concubine would almost certainly lead to Qin Zhenzhen’s demise. It wasn’t as though Qin Zhenzhen had inadvertently exposed her abilities before being adequately prepared.
Subsequently, Mr. Chen proceeded to elucidate the intricate history of the Jiang family to Su Bin. While Su Bin had already received some insights from Qin Zhenzhen, Mr. Chen’s detailed account left her with even more questions and uncertainties.
As she pieced together the sequence of events, Su Bin ultimately concluded that when Qin Zhenzhen initially unveiled her abilities, Grandma Qin did not intervene. The reason for this non-interference was likely rooted in the belief that the revelation would not provoke any undue alarm within the Jiang family..
