Chapter 470 - 470: Illness

Su Bin embraced Qin Zhenzhen, his feelings surprisingly light, as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He understood that the Old Marquis couldn’t publicly admit his mistake, sparing him the need to return to the Marquis Mansion. It was a relief.

This way, he could honor his father’s wishes. His father had chosen not to engage in a bitter feud with the Old Marquis, instead opting to step back, considering the Old Marquis had saved his life.

Su Bin also acknowledged the Old Marquis as his biological grandfather. He had no intention of engaging in a life-or-death struggle with him, as long as he wasn’t compelled to return to the Marquis Mansion.

“Dear, do you think I’m being unreasonable in handling this?”

In order to secure the Marquis Mansion’s continued prosperity, his own grandfather had to kneel before him. Despite this, Su Bin held fast to his principles.

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “No.” “You’re handling it admirably.”

“In fact, you’re more forgiving than most.”

Typically, upon learning that the Old Marquis’ equal wife had tried to frame him, Su Bin should have reacted far less gracefully.

However, in the past, to help Qin Zhenzhen secure startup capital, Su Bin had promised the Old Marquis that he would consider returning to the Marquis Mansion once he achieved fame.

But, deep down, Su Bin had already decided against returning to the Marquis

Mansion at that time.

Reflecting on it, Su Bin had indeed plotted against the Old Marquis.

Therefore, Su Bin intended to be magnanimous and forgiving towards the Old Marquis.

“Wife, I cannot let the Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion off the hook.”

Not only had she stolen his grandmother’s husband, but she had also been responsible for his grandmother’s death and had schemed to exile his father from the capital.

At that time, his father had been a promising teenager with a bright future.

If not for her, his father wouldn’t have died with regrets.

Over two decades later, she had orchestrated a plot to ruin his future. Were it not for Qin Zhenzhen, he wouldn’t have even had the chance to become a Cultivated Talent.

For her own selfish motives, she had wielded the butcher’s knife to take a life. Afterward, she didn’t hesitate to destroy someone’s prospects. She deserved to be punished for her cruelty.

“In that case, don’t spare her. She truly deserves her fate.”

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t attempt to dissuade Su Bin from seeking justice against the Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion.

“Thank you for your support, my dear!”

Su Bin tightened his embrace around Qin Zhenzhen.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Su Bin responded, “We can’t publicly accuse her and let her escape the noose. We must make her suffer before her demise.’

“Otherwise, I’d be betraying my deceased grandmother and father.”

“Our allies within the Marquis Mansion are preparing to administer a slow-acting poison.”

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t inquire about the specifics of the poison Su Bin had chosen.

Soon after, news arrived from the Duke Mansion indicating that the Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion was suffering from a mysterious ailment, experiencing intermittent stomach pains.

Sometimes, the pain struck thrice a day.

During these bouts, it felt as though her internal organs were being torn apart by an invisible force.

Each time the pain struck, lasting about two hours, she would collapse and lose consciousness.

The Old Marquis had enlisted the services of a doctor, but the treatment proved ineffective.

Desperate, he appealed to the Emperor, who dispatched an imperial physician, but even their efforts were in vain.

Her sons, in their desperation, reached out to Qin Zhenzhen for help in treating their ailing mother.

The Old Marquis had anticipated that convincing Qin Zhenzhen to assist would be a challenge, but to his surprise, she readily agreed.

With hope in his heart, the Old Marquis inquired, “Can you help her recover?”

However, Qin Zhenzhen came to a somber conclusion. “I’m afraid there’s no cure. She’s already in the terminal stage of her illness.”

Perplexed, the Old Marquis couldn’t help but ask, “What ailment is afflicting

“It’s a mental illness,” Qin Zhenzhen replied. “It stems from the cruel deeds she committed in the past, which have weighed on her conscience for a long time, resulting in a mental illness.”

“Regrettably, her condition has persisted for an extended period, leading to the development of a physical lesion, which has now progressed to angina.”

“Treating angina is a formidable challenge.”

After Qin Zhenzhen’s departure, the Old Marquis pondered the situation overnight and eventually resolved to end her life.

He knew that Su Bin might have orchestrated this outcome.

In the end, they both had to face the consequences of their past actions..
