The Peasant Wife Is a Lucky Charm

Trouble

Soon, Qin Zhenzhen spotted Su Bin among the candidates coming out.

Su Bin appeared composed and unruffled.

Chen Shanshan whispered to Qin Zhenzhen, “Master, he must have done well. Look at how calm he is.”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled in agreement. “I believe so too.”

Her faith in Su Bin’s abilities was unwavering. In the original book, he had been portrayed as a top student.

Su Bin also noticed Qin Zhenzhen and the others.

Perhaps Qin Zhenzhen’s earlier warning to the people from the Duke Mansion had deterred them, as nothing untoward happened during their journey back to the Chen Family.

For the second examination, they encountered no troubles on their way back and forth.

Unbeknownst to Qin Zhenzhen, they were being covertly watched.

The same was true for the third examination.

Although Qin Zhenzhen assumed that those people might have given up due to their continuous company of two guards, she couldn’t dismiss the possibility that they might still attempt to harm Su Bin during the examination.

After three consecutive examinations, Su Bin finally felt the weight lifted off his shoulders, and he indulged in a full day of relaxation and much-needed rest.

It wasn’t until the third day after the examination that he discovered an intriguing fact about Qin Zhenzhen’s family background. Her grandmother hailed from the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital, and it was from her that Qin Zhenzhen had learned her remarkable abilities. Su Bin was astounded to learn that Qin Zhenzhen had even cured the Governor’s mother’s lumbago, earning her immense gratitude from the Governor’s family. As a result, they had entered into a long-term contract with Qin Zhenzhen for the supply of her seasonings.

The generous consultation fees and contract deposit Qin Zhenzhen received were substantial enough for her to purchase a house and land in the prefecture. Moreover, she had now taken Chen Shanshan as her disciple, and Mrs. Chen was actively assisting her in finding a suitable property.

Upon learning all of this, Su Bin couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment. He realized that he was no match for Qin Zhenzhen in terms of family background. She came from a much more distinguished family, with the Jiang Family being highly esteemed in the capital.

She was capable, and making money seemed effortless for her. Meanwhile, he struggled with poverty, and his brother and sister even had difficulty providing for themselves.

While she was grateful to the governor for his support, he, on the other hand, seemed to have an unidentified enemy who had thwarted his chances of becoming a Cultivated Talent. The future was uncertain, and they had no idea what lay ahead.

No wonder Qin Zhenzhen had decided to divorce him after feeling ignored. She was a woman who knew her own heart and was unafraid to love or hate.

To obtain the divorce papers, Qin Zhenzhen treated his brother and sister kindly and even offered them a way to prosperity. She went above and beyond, saving his sister and defending him.

With such actions, he would be a fool not to agree to the divorce.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Bin approached Qin Zhenzhen for a private conversation.

He began, “Thank you for all your help during this time.”

Qin Zhenzhen replied, “No need to thank me. You know I have my own purpose.”

After a brief pause, Su Bin continued, “If you truly want a divorce, I will draft it for you tonight.”

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. “Have you really thought it through?”

Su Bin felt a little awkward. “You come from a more privileged family, and you’re capable too. I can’t compete with you on those fronts.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Qin Zhenzhen held back her laughter. Su Bin was very proud. He did not want others to think that he was living off a woman.

Getting serious, she asked for his help, “But I’ve encountered a problem, and I need your assistance. Will you help me?”

Without hesitation, Su Bin responded, “Of course! Whatever it is, if I can help, I will.”

Qin Zhenzhen looked at him and said, “It’s a long story.”

But Su Bin assured her, “That’s alright. Whenever you have time, I’ll listen.”

She then briefly recounted her grandmother’s story, explaining, “Since I learned from my grandma, I don’t have to hide anything.”

However, she revealed the main concern, saying, “My grandma holds a grudge against the Jiang Family for causing her blindness. She doesn’t want me to have any association with them. If they discover my abilities, they might send someone to take me back to the capital to serve them.”

“My grandma strictly advised me not to reveal my capabilities..”
