Qin Silong promptly arrived right after w.a.n.g Yizhi and his parents departed. In a private conversation with Qin Zhenzhen, he shared, “The Jiang Family from the capital has dispatched an envoy to bring Grandma. They’re currently present at their residence.”

Remaining composed, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “What was their message?”

Qin Silong relayed, “It appears to be related to Su Bin’s status as the Young Master of the Marquis Mansion. He’s shown great respect towards Grandma and has brought valuable offerings.”

“Oddly, Grandma didn’t mention the encounter with the mysterious figures in black; they behaved as if nothing transpired.”

“However, they did express the desire to meet you, and Grandma consented to inform you.”

Acknowledging the situation, Qin Zhenzhen affirmed, “I’ll discuss this with Su

Bin. ”

She recognized the necessity of engaging with the Jiang Family from the capital.

Her confidence remained unshaken; she had the backing of the Marquis

Mansion and the Jiang Family would undoubtedly hesitate before taking any actions against her, considering her connection to Su Bin’s father’s maternal Qin Zhenzhen briefed Su Bin on the matter. In response, Su Bin volunteered, “I’ll accompany you.”

“Very well.” Qin Zhenzhen welcomed the offer without hesitation.

With Su Bin accompanying her to her maternal home, the Jiang Family refrained from harboring any ill intentions towards her.

Before Su Bin’s departure, he advised Su Qing and Su Ping, “Keep a close watch on Sister and be attuned to her emotions. Don’t venture into the mountains today; stay home and provide her companions.h.i.+p.”

Su Ping a.s.sented, “Rest a.s.sured, we’ll look after her. We now understand that your resilience surpa.s.ses our previous perceptions.”

True to his prediction, after some time, Su Lan regained her composure and engaged cheerfully in conversation with her siblings, as though w.a.n.g Yizhi and the others had never visited.

Aware that Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen were on their way to their maternal home, she paid a visit to a neighboring family in the village and procured two sizeable castrated roosters.

The explanation given was that these offerings symbolized Su Bin’s reverence towards his in-laws.

Observing Su Lan’s thoughtful gesture, both Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen found themselves rea.s.sured.

Upon their arrival at the Qin Family residence, Qin Zhenzhen encountered members of the Jiang Family.

Present were a middle-aged man and a young gentleman.

They introduced themselves: the middle-aged man was Jiang Yu, the youngest son of her grandmother’s brother, while the young man was Jiang Feng, Jiang Yu’s own son.

In essence, this meant that Qin Zhenzhen’s paternal grandmother was the sister of Jiang Yu’s grandfather.

However, a complex dynamic existed between them: Qin Zhenzhen’s grandmother was born to a concubine, whereas Jiang Yu’s family held the status of direct descendants, creating a longstanding enmity between Qin Zhenzhen’s grandmother’s lineage and the Jiangs.

During that era, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family was tormented by suspicions that Qin Zhenzhen’s grandmother might seize her husband’s affections, leading to the unfortunate circ.u.mstances that befell Grandma Qin.

How could these two individuals now sit before them as though nothing had transpired? Did they truly believe they could erase the weight of the past?

Qin Zhenzhen concealed her inner disdain. She held onto her determination to one day avenge her grandmother’s suffering.

Jiang Yu extended a warm reception to Qin Zhenzhen. “Zhenzhen, your mastery of Third Aunt’s techniques is truly remarkable. In fact, you’ve surpa.s.sed her!”

With measured composure, Qin Zhenzhen responded, “Your a.s.sessment is off.

I’ve only managed to grasp about 70-80% of my grandmother’s skills.”

“But for the unfortunate incident with my grandmother, she would have reached an even higher level.”

Jiang Yu’s countenance brightened. “You’re absolutely right.”

“However, Third Aunt isn’t as accomplished as the esteemed elders within the family.”

“My point is, Zhenzhen, given your remarkable abilities, it would be wise for you to return to the family and avail yourself of more learning opportunities.”

Qin Zhenzhen offered a reminder, “Nonetheless, my last name isn’t Jiang, and I don’t believe it’s necessary for us to seek education from the Jiang Family. Even if we were to approach them, there’s no guarantee of receiving instruction. I’ve heard that the Jiang Family keeps their knowledge insular and doesn’t readily share it with outsiders.”

This remark seemed to evoke a touch of frustration in Jiang Yu.. “Yet you acquired your skills from the Jiang Family!”
