However, the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion dispatched her men to the Su Family ahead of others, all because of a single jade pendant.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, Su Ting and his wife had already met with a tragic accident and passed away.

With Su Ting deceased, and his children raised in the countryside posing no threat to their position, the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion believed the matter was resolved.

However, she soon learned that Su Bin bore a striking resemblance to the Marquis and had gained recognition among scholars in the college. It was highly likely that he would make a name for himself through the imperial examination.

Fearful of the potential threat that Su Bin’s return to the capital and reunion with the Marquis could pose to her own children, the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion devised a plan.

She didn’t want Su Bin and his family to enter the capital, as it could jeopardize her children’s inheritance of the mansion’s assets.

Yet, the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion didn’t dare to eliminate Su Bin’s family directly.

Instead, she first sought to ruin Su Bin’s path to the imperial examination.

Encouraging the Qin Family to force her daughter to marry Su Bin, she aimed to create conflict between Su Bin and the Qin Family, thereby obstructing Su Bin’s journey to the imperial examination.

However, to her surprise, Su Bin endured the humiliation and allowed the chubby girl into the family, helping her become a Cultivated Talent.

Even after the chubby girl’s passing, the subsequent changes within the household failed to deter Su Bin’s determination to become a Cultivated Talent.

Faced with Su Bin’s unyielding perseverance, the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion was compelled to devise a new plan.

Thus, one day before the Cultivated Talent examination, she orchestrated a scheme to frame Su Bin and disqualify him from the examination.

Subjected to numerous setups, Su Bin gradually realized that someone was plotting against him.

However, after one year, he finally managed to gather evidence exposing those who had framed him. As a result, he was reinstated and allowed to participate in the following year’s examination.

Contemplating Su Bin’s twisted destiny, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of sympathy.

Su Bin possessed exceptional intelligence, and it seemed he was destined to survive against all odds.

He was manipulated all the way to the capital, where he ultimately rose to the position of the Primus.

Discovering the truth about his lineage and the plot orchestrated by the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion, Su Bin found himself in a dire situation. His sister, niece, and fifth brother had all perished, while his fourth brother had become morally corrupt and his second brother had turned to banditry.

Refusing to reclaim his title as the Young Master of the Marquis’ Mansion and rejecting any reunion with the Marquis, Su Bin even pushed the Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion and her children onto a path of no return, deeply infuriating the Marquis.

From that point onward, Su Bin fully embraced his darker side, becoming the ruthless villain depicted in the book.

He held onto every grudge from those who had mistreated him in the past and showed no mercy to those who disrespected him in the future.

All these choices were born out of the misfortunes he had endured.

Now that Qin Zhenzhen had transmigrated into this world and possessed knowledge of the plot, she was determined to assist Su Bin in avoiding those hardships.

She viewed this as a bargaining chip for the divorce.

Walking around in the backyard, Qin Zhenzhen observed the diverse variety of crops in the fields.

Near the wall, there was a small pool that may have once been used for ornamental goldfish but was now repurposed to water the vegetables.

However, for the sake of Su Cheng and Su Ning, she had to undertake such arduous farm work at such a young age. She was almost solely responsible for their well-being.

Qin Zhenzhen plucked the turnips from the ground, washed them in the sink, and carried them home. Once there, she peeled and sliced the turnips before adding them to the boiling bone soup.

Just as she was engrossed in her cooking, Su Ning entered the kitchen. “Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Brother is stringing the money together. Let me assist you.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “So, you want to learn how I make the bone soup, hm?”

Caught in the act, Su Ning confessed honestly, “Yes, Third Sister-in-law, I want to learn how to cook.”

If she could acquire this skill, she could prepare meals for her brothers, and perhaps even set up a snack stall to earn money like they did today.

No longer would they have to rely on porridge as their main sustenance, and her Third Brother wouldn’t have to toil so hard to earn a living..
