The fifth princess couldnât hide her astonishment. âAre you suggesting that youâre willing to make Qin Zhenzhen completely vanish?â
The Crown Prince attempted to clarify, âItâs more about rectifying a mistake than making her disappear entirely.â
The plan was simple: if the fifth sister feigned illness and implored their mother to persuade their father to allow Su Bin to marry her, they could be equals in status. The Crown Prince was convinced that this move would prompt Qin Zhenzhen to depart, leaving him free to pursue someone else.
For the sake of Qin Zhenzhen, the Crown Prince had employed all his tactics, including his fifth sister.
However, the fifth princess was no fool. Despite her promiscuous lifestyle and her fondness for handsome men, she possessed a clear mind. She could indulge in personal affairs in private, but in public, she had to uphold her noble status.
Had Su Bin not made those public declarations, she might have contemplated ways to win him over as her husband. But now, she wanted nothing to do with this tangled situation.
âBrother Crown Prince, I donât think the feigned illness scheme will work.â âWhat if Father refuses? Iâd be trapped in a dilemma.â
âShould the word get out, Iâd become the laughingstock of the entire capital.â
The Crown Prince was frustrated. He had not anticipated that after all his efforts, his fifth sister would remain unyielding.
âDo you think Su Bin isnât worth your investment?â
The fifth princess shook her head. âItâs not that heâs not worth my effort. Itâs just that his personality doesnât align with mine.â
In front of a large crowd, Su Bin had made a promise to marry only one woman in his lifetime. Was there genuinely such a devoted man in the world, or was he deliberately making this declaration for someoneâs benefit?
The fifth princess had a sneaking suspicion that when he looked her way, Su Bin had recognized her. If that were the case, his words were likely intended for her ears.
Hmph! If she couldnât have him, sheâd find a way to ruin him!
âBrother Crown Prince, I have a cunning plan to help you win over Qin
Zhenzhen. â
âWhatâs this clever idea?â
âCome closer, and Iâll whisper it to you.â
The siblings engaged in a lengthy discussion and hatched a devious scheme.
Upon his return home after swimming in the capital, Su Bin was still elated.
âWife, I want a hug. Give me a kiss, and Iâll lift you up!â
Qin Zhenzhen playfully scolded him, saying, âYouâre such a child!â
Nonetheless, Su Bin had already embraced her. âWife, I desire to consummate our marriage tonight!â
Qin Zhenzhen replied softly, âOf courseâ¦â
She had been married to him for a while now, and their relationship had evolved from resentment to affection. Logically, their marriage should have been consummated long ago.
âIâve already prepared the red candles.â
âIâve set up the large red wedding blanket, pillows, and freshly laundered sheets. â
âIâve been eagerly anticipating this day for a long time.â
âLetâs retire to our chamber early tonight.â
Qin Zhenzhen offered a reminder, âYouâre the new Primus. Many well-wishers will likely come to congratulate you later.â
âIâm concerned that there will be a constant stream of guests tonight.â
Su Bin spoke earnestly, âIâm not bothered by them. Iâll see off the guests when the time comes. No one can keep us apart. A night of love is worth more than a thousand gold coins.â
During the night, a continuous flow of guests arrived.
Among them were neighbors, acquaintances, and officials who proactively came to convey their best wishes.
However, Su Bin had instructed his servants to escort the guests out early in the morning. He claimed that he hadnât slept well the previous night and intended to retire early tonight.
The departing guests couldnât help but wonder if the new Primus was showing them disrespect.
Little did they anticipate that Su Bin was eager to spend the night consummating his marriage with Qin Zhenzhen.
In the masterâs chamber that night, it was certain to be filled with passion, and the sounds of their intimate moments would not go unnoticed.
Even the discreet guards hidden in the shadows blushed and felt their hearts race..
