NovelEnglishChapter 305 - 305: She Won’t Lose
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen harbored an intense loathing for that elderly woman.
Forty years ago, she had inflicted harm upon her grandmother, and now, four decades later, she had returned to cause trouble once more.
“I’ll fetch the spices,” Qin Zhenzhen declared.
She jotted down the required herbs on a piece of paper and instructed her fourth brother to purchase them. Afterward, she meticulously dried the herbs and ground them into a fine powder, creating fragrant powder.
This fragrant powder required a delicate balance. When placed among clothing, the fragrance couldn’t be overpowering; it had to be subtle yet refreshing. To achieve this effect, Qin Zhenzhen even added a touch of spiritual water. Taking the powder to Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen applied some to him.
“Take a whiff of your clothing now. Do you feel refreshed?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Bin complied and nodded. “I do feel a slight refreshment, though it’s not as pure as your natural fragrance.”
Qin Zhenzhen shot him an exasperated glance. This mischievous streak in him was quite something.
She couldn’t believe she hadn’t noticed Su Bin’s playful side while reading earlier.
That night, Su Bin received yet another secret letter. This time, he handed it over to Qin Zhenzhen.
Upon opening it, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.
The old lecher, the Emperor, was indeed insatiable and wished to maintain his lofty image. It turned out that he had an idiosyncratic fixation. He only desired women who met an extremely specific criterion – absolute virginity.
No wonder his gaze had been so peculiar when he looked at her that day.
The secret letter also disclosed that the Emperor initially harbored doubts regarding the words of the elderly woman from the Jiang family. Consequently, he refrained from immediately summoning her to the palace.
Instead, he personally interrogated several elders from the Jiang family, and their responses corroborated the elderly woman’s account. It was only then that he chose to believe her.
Moreover, the Emperor unearthed another piece of information. It revealed that she had been wed to Su Bin against her will. Initially, Su Bin had declined to consummate their marriage.
Despite the improvement in their relationship, there was the possibility that they hadn’t yet shared a bedroom. This was due to the fact that their rooms were separate in Meijiang Prefecture City.
As a result, the peculiar Emperor intended to dispatch someone to their residence that night to ascertain whether she and Su Bin would indeed share a bed.
Qin Zhenzhen glanced at Su Bin with a perplexed expression. “Why is the Emperor acting so strangely?”
Su Bin remained composed. “People in high positions often have eccentricities. We must put on a convincing performance for him.”
Thankfully, the Emperor was known to be fastidious about cleanliness, which simplified matters.
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “Do you believe that we can deceive him by merely sleeping in the same bed without doing anything?”
“That won’t suffice. We need to do something.”
“Something?”

Su Bin suddenly blushed and handed Qin Zhenzhen a small notebook.
“Take a look for yourself. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.”
Curiosity piqued, Qin Zhenzhen opened the notebook.
To her astonishment, it contained an explicit illustration!
She hastily closed the notebook and was about to scold Su Bin, but she realized that he had already left the room.
Qin Zhenzhen grappled with her emotions. While she wished to disregard the Emperor’s intrusive investigation, she was also plagued by the fear that if her relationship with Su Bin was exposed, she would be confined within the palace by the lascivious old Emperor.
That would result in an even greater setback.
Upon careful consideration, Qin Zhenzhen concluded that rather than enduring the unwanted advances of the lecherous old Emperor and facing confinement within the palace, she’d rather maintain the facade of intimacy with Su Bin.
After all, Su Bin’s appearance easily outshone that of the old pervert. He was like fresh meat, still youthful and unspoiled. He was an original, and she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
With a resolute expression, Qin Zhenzhen reopened her notebook.
Having lived two lifetimes without experiencing such moments, she figured it was best to get a clear understanding..
