Su Bin’s face sank. “I just want to ask you, do you really know about our background?”

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “I don’t know, but I already suspect that.”

Su Bin was intrigued. “What do you suspect?”

Qin Zhenzhen felt compelled to explain. “I suspect that your father might be a noble young master from the capital!”

“The governor’s mother grew up in the capital. After she married the governor’s father, she lived there for a while before coming to this region with her son.”

“I inquired if anything special happened to the noble children in the capital over 20 years ago.”

“I can’t believe that the Old Lady was right about one person.” “That man is the heir of the Marquis’ Mansion, and his surname is Su.” Su Bin’s face changed again. He couldn’t remain calm any longer.

“Really?”

Qin Zhenzhen took her time to respond.

“Why would I lie to you? Let me tell you about the Marquis’ Mansion.”

Qin Zhenzhen intended to leverage Su Bin’s identity as the Young Master of the Marquis’ Mansion to resolve the grudge between him and the Old Marquis, so she was determined to do her best to reveal the truth.

She was trying her best to let Su Bin accept this identity.

“The ancestor of the Su Family was a general, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he was conferred the title of marquis by the previous emperor. This title can be passed down.”

“With this title, the Marquis’s Mansion has been flourishing for a few generations, but their descendants lacked prowess in martial arts and literature, so they couldn’t maintain the same prestige as their ancestors.” “But they still have the title.”

“The Old Marquis married Assistant Minister Wang’s daughter when he was young, and later took another wife. The two women were always on equal footing, regardless of age.”

“The Madame of the Marquis’s Mansion didn’t have any more children after giving birth to one son.”

“She had been weak and fell seriously ill for four or five years, during which she relied on medicine to stay alive. Unfortunately, she eventually passed away.”

“Because her son is the eldest and rightful heir, he was supposed to inherit the title of the Marquis’s Mansion.”

“But the heir suddenly claimed that his mother’s death was caused by his stepmother, the concubine. He said he had evidence, but it mysteriously disappeared.”

“Without evidence, no one would believe him, not even the Old Marquis and his maternal family.”

“He was so angry that he even renounced his claim to the title of heir. He declared himself cut off from the Marquis Mansion, vowing never to associate with them again.”

“Then, the heir of the Marquis’s Mansion truly disappeared. No one saw him for more than 20 years.”

“He was the same age as your father.”

“I heard that the Old Marquis has been sending people to search for his eldest son in the line of succession, as he intends to pass on the family legacy.” “I was wondering if your father was the heir of the Marquis’ Mansion?”

“Could it be the equal wife of the Marquis who framed you? She might be concerned that if the Marquis were to find his true heir, it would affect her children’s interests.”

“I thought of Storyteller.”

“Through the storyteller, this information will soon reach the Marquis, and he will likely confirm the truth.”

“Then his wife would have no choice but to cease her scheming.”

Hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s explanation, Su Bin grew very angry. “Then why didn’t you tell me before making the decision?”

Qin Zhenzhen thought of one reason. “I was worried that you would misunderstand, thinking that I married you because I knew about your family background!”

“Especially when you mentioned that my grandma is from the capital! ”

“But in reality, when those things happened, my grandma had already left the capital, and she had no contact with anyone there!”
