As Qin Zhenzhen pondered her next move, she considered forgiving the Old Marquis and returning to the Marquis Mansion. Alternatively, she could wait for Su Bin to make the final decision.

The Old Marquis, too, was paying close attention to the situation. He turned his gaze towards Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen.

“The past is behind us now. For many years, I have carried the burden of self-blame, and I no longer concern myself with who was right or wrong.”

Su Bin persisted, “But I am telling the truth. Your uncle Lin Nan can attest to it.”

Lin Nan, who had been silently observing, decided to speak up. “I am Lin Nan, your grandpa’s eldest son, and your father is my cousin. You can call me uncle. There are two grandpas and one grandma who are still alive.”

He continued, “When that incident occurred, I was only 10 years old, but my father knew the whole story. According to him, Cousin did not have any evidence.”

“At that time, grandpa and father were concerned about this matter. They put in some effort to investigate, but unfortunately, no conclusive result was found.’

The implication of Lin Nan’s words was thought-provoking. He seemed to be suggesting that even the Lin Family had their doubts about the situation.

The Old Marquis appeared visibly displeased with Lin Nan’s remarks. He had expected Lin Nan to serve as a witness, not to stir up trouble.

Lin Nan brushed aside the Old Marquis’s displeasure and proceeded with his account.

“After that, Cousin ran away from home, and grandpa and father were fully occupied with locating him.”

“At that point, we had to halt the investigation into Elder Aunt’s death.”

“When your two grandpas heard that Cousin had married and had children with you, they were overjoyed. They expressed a strong desire to meet you in person, but my father was tied up with work and couldn’t get leave. Meanwhile, my uncle’s health wasn’t in the best condition, so I decided to come on my own.”

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel that Lin Nan was a genuinely kind-hearted person.

He sounded more sincere than the Old Marquis.

According to the book, Su Bin did not acknowledge the Old Marquis, nor did he acknowledge his grandpa’s family.

But Su Bin only took revenge on the Marquis Mansion, not the Lin Family.

Lin Nan’s father was the Minister of Revenue and had some influence.

But because Su Bin had turned evil at that time, the Lin Family distanced themselves from him and did not want to acknowledge him as their cousin.

But it seemed that the Lin Family could accept that.

She wondered what Su Bin was thinking.

Su Bin had a good impression of Lin Nan, better than the Old Marquis.

The Old Marquis continued what Lin Nan said. “Your uncle has confirmed what happened back then. You believe that grandpa is telling the truth, right?”

“Actually, it is not the time to think about who is right and who is wrong. What is important is that grandpa has found you!”

“Ever since grandpa learned that your father was gone, he could not sleep at all.

He must be telling the truth, because he looked so haggard.

He wanted to show his sympathy to Su Bin and the others. He was already 60 years old, and he had never been in good health. He even came to fetch them personally from the capital, which showed how sincere he was.

But he had underestimated Su Bin’s coldness.

Su Bin still did not say a thing, and his face was cold.

The Old Marquis had to continue. “I also hope that you don’t cling onto the past. We have to live in the present.”

“As long as you are willing to return to the Marquis Mansion and acknowledge your ancestors, I as the grandpa will have nothing more to ask of you, and I will die without regrets!”
