All his life’s experiences were intertwined with the Qin Family. He had nearly faced death, while Qin Silong had ascended in rank and amassed wealth. As the story’s antagonist, a sense of irritation drove her to contemplate eliminating the Qin Family. Yet, ironically, it was the Qin Family that had instigated the entire sequence of unfortunate events.

It was undeniable that these distressing episodes had played a role in shaping his character. Considering this, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t reject him outright. Instead, she advised, “If you’re intent on learning from my Fourth Brother, you should seek his approval first.”

“I’ll make sure to convey your message to my Fourth Brother.”

Qin Zhenzhen acquiesced, though she refrained from promising to advocate on his behalf in front of her brother.

“Thank you, Third Sister-in-law!”

“In two days, I’ll accompany you to the prefecture.”

“I’ll refrain from socializing with my friends henceforth.”

“Third Sister-in-law, please inform your Fourth Brother that my interactions with my friends were never intended for wrongdoing but rather for safeguarding my family!”

“I genuinely pledge that I’ll sever ties with them forever!”

He had contemplated mentioning his aspiration to defend the country after mastering his skills, yet he believed that prioritizing the protection of his family was paramount.

As evidenced in the past, when Third Sister-in-law narrowly escaped abduction by malefactors, he had nearly lost his life due to his own frailty.

Su Bin let out a sigh of relief. His Second Brother held strong convictions when it came to promises. If Qin Silong agreed to mentor him, it would greatly assist his cause.

He needn’t worry about his Second Brother straying from the right path.

Qin Zhenzhen was well aware that he had associations with a diverse group of friends, and these connections had contributed to his path as a bandit.

But now, he was vowing to sever those ties?

Was he genuinely striving for a transformation?

Su Bin’s gaze turned to Qin Zhenzhen. “On behalf of my Second Brother, I extend my gratitude. Please stand up for him.”

Qin Zhenzhen’s cheeks turned rosy.

Had Su Bin lost his mind?

There were no outsiders present, so why were they addressing each other with such affection?

His siblings were all secretly amused.

It seemed that his Third Brother had truly fallen for his Third Sister-in-law.

Likewise, it appeared that Third Sister-in-law had developed feelings for her Third Brother.

Concerns about a potential divorce seemed needless.

Though tempted to rebuke Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen restrained herself in the presence of his siblings.

Regardless, she intended to advise him against being overly theatrical when they were alone.

To relieve her embarrassment, Qin Zhenzhen shifted her attention to Su Lan.

“Sister, during your time in the prefecture, if you’re interested, I could teach you the art of food therapy. You might even consider opening a shop.” However, Su Lan responded calmly, “I have no intention of accompanying you to the prefecture.”

This announcement surprised everyone. “Why’s that?”

After a brief hesitation, Su Lan disclosed her reasoning.

“Because I’m planning to accept Qian Shanmin’s proposal!”

Her words left everyone stunned.

Almost unanimously, they believed that a future for Su Lan and Qian Shanmin was an impossibility.

Once their true identities were unveiled, Qian Shanmin ceased to visit their residence and remained conspicuously absent from their surroundings.

He even vanished from the village entirely.

Rumors circulated that during a visit to his Third Aunt-in-law’s house, he was introduced to a potential match by his cousin’s wife. This young woman hailed from the same village as his Third Aunt-in-law, characterized by her beauty and industrious nature..
