“But if we rule out such possibilities, where could Su Bin have gone?”
“I’ve heard we’ve combed through nearly every place except the rockery in the backyard.”
“Perhaps it’s worth investigating that area, regardless of the likelihood.”
“You’re right. What if we do find something?”
As they continued their debate, a man hurried over. “What are you all still discussing here?”
“His Highness has already led a party to search for Su Bin in the rockery at the backyard!”
“Ah? So, you’re suggesting that Su Bin might have headed to the backyard’s rockery?”
“Isn’t it evident? The fact that they’ve dispatched a considerable group implies just that!”
“Did any of you notice a missing maid?”
“Haha, if our speculations are accurate, there could be quite the spectacle!”
“Why don’t we go and witness it?”
“Let’s not waste any time!”
The group of young masters promptly rushed to the backyard with the hope of being part of the spectacle. Meanwhile, the group of young heiresses, overwhelmed by their curiosity, followed suit.
As they departed, Su Bin emerged from behind a flowerbed, shaking his head in mild amusement. “These individuals harbor such perverse thoughts.”
“Underneath their glamorous exteriors, they’re truly debased.”
He pondered why the fifth princess, who could have been a dignified princess, had chosen to behave so disgracefully in private, forsaking her regal standing.
Su Ning felt a rising sense of anxiety as her elder brother, Su Bin, remained inexplicably absent. The increasingly disconcerting conversations among the young masters and ladies only added to her distress.
“Third Sister-in-law, don’t pay any heed to the rumors circulating. I have complete faith in my third brother. He would never engage in such behavior,” Su Ning asserted with conviction.
Qin Zhenzhen offered an understanding nod. “I share your trust in your third brother. I’m confident he would never involve himself in anything of the sort.”
Su Ning, albeit relieved by her sister-in-law’s words, remained concerned. “Nevertheless, I’m still worried about my third brother.”
Qin Zhenzhen offered a reassuring smile and inquired, “What is it that concerns you?”
Su Ning confided, “I fear he may fall victim to someone’s schemes, much like how I nearly succumbed to the fifth princess’s devious plan.”
Qin Zhenzhen responded with a knowing grin. “There’s no need for concern. Your third brother is exceptionally astute. He won’t easily be ensnared by others’ schemes.”
Observing her third sister-in-law’s unwavering composure, Su Ning’s worries began to ebb. She trusted her brother’s intelligence implicitly.
Nonetheless, curiosity still plagued Su Ning. She inquired further, “Third Sister-in-law, can you tell me whether the fifth princess holds an affection for my third brother?”
Qin Zhenzhen candidly replied, “I do believe she does.”
“We had some doubts earlier, but after what occurred on the pleasure boat, any uncertainty was dispelled.”
She then recounted the story of Su Bin encountering the fifth princess during his travels in the capital.
Su Ning, surprised by the revelation, asked, “Is this truly the case?”
“Why is the fifth princess acting so shamelessly?”
“Why would she attempt to steal someone else’s husband?”
“My third brother has made it abundantly clear that he will only love you in this lifetime!”
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Zhenzhen subtly cast aspersions on Su Ning.
“You know, most individuals in the royal family are terribly shameless,” Qin Zhenzhen remarked, her tone laced with disdain.
“That’s because they perceive themselves as princes and princesses, borne of the ‘golden branches and jade leaves,’ as they call it. They believe they inherently possess a sense of superiority and entitlement, laying claim to the finest things the world has to offer.”
“They are accustomed to acquiring anything they desire. And when that proves unattainable, they resort to destructive and vindictive means.”
Su Ning expressed her frustration. saving. “They’re all awful people!”
Qin Zhenzhen felt a sense of accomplishment; this marked the first time she had heard Su Ning articulate such sentiments.
She understood that Su Ning’s reference to ‘they’ encompassed the members of the royal family. The initial step in Qin Zhenzhen’s endeavor to rescue Su Ning involved imparting the understanding that many within the royal family were not virtuous individuals..
