On the other hand, the children born to the Old Marquis and his peaceful wife displayed mediocre aptitude and unsatisfactory personalities. They were not suited for the weighty responsibilities that awaited them. Without proper heredity, the wealth provided by the Imperial Court would not be distributed. Consequently, if the Marquis Mansion were handed over to them, it would be at risk of stagnation or even sudden decline.
The Old Marquis’s equal life had neither financial means nor influence. She couldn’t provide support to the children, and her presence would only strain their resources further. The Marquis Mansion would undoubtedly experience a rapid decline under such circumstances, and the root cause of it all was the Old Marquis himself.

Upon Su Bin and the others’ return to the Marquis Mansion, the situation took a different turn. Even if Qin Zhenzhen didn’t have businesses spanning the entire country, Su Bin was an exceptional individual. It was highly likely he would secure a scholarship, and if not, he had a prominent maternal family to offer support and secure his status.
More importantly, Su Bin possessed the qualifications to become the Marquis Mansion’s heir and the next Marquis, fulfilling the Old Marquis’s deepest wish of preserving his hereditary position and ensuring the mansion’s prosperity.
The Old Marquis’s sole concern was that, upon taking over the Marquis Mansion, Su Bin might seek revenge against his equal life and the children of his peaceful wife. However, he had devised a solution. When Su Bin and the others returned to the Marquis Mansion, it was certain they would host guests. At that time, he would request Su Bin to publicly pledge to treat the child from his peaceful wife well in front of these esteemed guests.
Other than that, he would leave a lot of money for them in private so that they would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
On the 24th of December, Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen, and the others had already packed their belongings, ready to set off for the countryside the following morning.
However, that night brought two unexpected guests to their doorstep — the Third Prince and his master.
The Third Prince had been recuperating in the Flying Cloud Tribe, and although the emperor had sent someone to bring him back to the palace, he had been reluctant to return. The palace was under the dominion of the Empress and the Crown Prince, and returning would be akin to delivering a lamb to the tiger’s den.
Nonetheless, the emperor’s decree was not to be ignored. The Third Prince had postponed his return until the end of the year but could no longer delay it any further. The Emperor had explicitly stated that must return to the palace before the new year.
On New Year’s Eve, a grand banquet was scheduled in the palace, where members of the royal family would have a reunion dinner. With his injuries almost healed and his master accompanying him, the Third Prince felt more confident about returning to the palace.

If Su Ning hadn’t staunchly stopped the bleeding and expertly bandaged him that day, he might have indeed bled to death. Su Ning, despite her evident fear, had chosen to save him promptly, displaying trust in him as a person.
In return for her kindness and trust, the Third Prince felt compelled to meet Su Ning at least once.
Lin Yue, the Third Prince’s master, happened to be acquainted with Su Bin. When they met, they exchanged polite pleasantries, though an underlying wariness remained between them. Regardless of Su Bin’s acting skills, he needed to convey that his intentions were solely to protect his wife and held no ulterior motives.
Lin Yue would not let his guard down.
Compared to Lin Yue, the Third Prince was more innocent.
He was still a 15 -year-old youth. Due to the torture of many years of illness, his body was much thinner than his peers.
However, he was really good-looking. As expected of the male lead in the book..
