Su Ning was taken aback by the unexpected attempt of Qin Zhenzhen to enlighten her. She pondered over Qin Zhenzhen’s words, “Cover your hands, let go if they are not hot, and change people’s hearts. If you can’t change them, give up.”

Unable to contain her curiosity, Su Ning voiced her skepticism, “But you haven’t even started wearing the gloves yet, how can you be certain they won’t get hot?”

Qin Zhenzhen was initially taken aback by Su Ning’s response, but then she chuckled and said, “Do you really think there’s a chance between your Third Brother and me? You’re just kidding yourself!”

“Your Third Brother is incredibly talented and destined for greatness. He’s handsome and proud, so how could he possibly have any interest in someone like me?”

While Su Ning agreed with Qin Zhenzhen’s perspective, she couldn’t help but offer a counterargument, “Third Sister-in-law, you’re underestimating yourself! You’re capable, fortunate, and beautiful!”

“Third Brother simply doesn’t know you well enough, and he’s unaware that it was Aunt who pushed you when you accidentally stumbled towards him. Once he learns the truth, his opinion of you will undoubtedly change.”

Why give up without even putting up a fight? Why belittle yourself?

Qin Zhenzhen dismissed the topic with a wave of her hand, saying, “Let’s not dwell on this. You’re still young and inexperienced when it comes to understanding adults, and you’re not your Third Brother, so you can’t possibly fathom his thoughts!”

As the original book revealed, Su Bin held the highest official position, but he had never married.

Haunted by the tragedy that Qin Shi had brought upon him, he had grown averse to the company of women. His disdain for them was so profound that he couldn’t tolerate any woman within three feet of him.

Except for his own sister.

If any woman happened to touch him accidentally, he would become irritable. Eventually, even Su Ning found it impossible to bridge the emotional gap between them.

There was one royal princess who had developed an interest in Su Bin and attempted to arrange a meeting with him at a banquet.

However, just as the princess approached him, Su Bin abruptly moved away, observing as the princess stumbled and fell to the ground.

He displayed no fear in offending even the Emperor himself.

This peculiar behavior left everyone questioning if he suffered from some sort of mental illness that fueled his aversion towards women.

It was evident that the original host, responsible for Su Bin’s emotional scars, was the root cause of his affliction. The original host had caused him immense pain, to the point that he would find satisfaction in her demise once he attained power.

Su Ning refused to believe that Su Bin would ever fall in love with her.

Moreover, she had no interest in him whatsoever.

The most desirable outcome for them would be an agreement and subsequent divorce.

Although Su Ning refrained from directly contradicting Qin Zhenzhen any further, she had devised a plan. As soon as her Third Brother returned home, she intended to personally inform him of everything his Third Sister-in-law had been up to lately.

Their Third Brother was an understanding individual, and Su Ning was certain that he would alter his opinion of his Third Sister-in-law upon learning the truth.

Just as it had happened with her and her Fifth Brother. Two months ago, they harbored wishes for Third Sister-in-law’s demise, but within a few days, they had grown reluctant to see her leave their household.

Su Cheng didn’t pause to gather firewood. With nothing suitable on the ground, he climbed up a tree to cut branches.

Before long, he managed to secure four bundles of dry firewood, selecting the two largest ones for himself and leaving the two smaller bundles for his sister. Third Sister-in-law would carry the basket.

They were all engaged in digging yams, confident that they would fill the baskets, as mentioned by Third Sister-in-law. Little did Su Cheng know that those yam vines held medicinal properties.

Eager to assist them, Su Cheng hurried along the path. However, his thirst compelled him to seek water, leading him to a nearby ditch.

As he approached, he suddenly heard the continuous cries of a wild boar. He halted, realizing that the sound emanated from the trap his Second Brother had set.

What? A wild boar trapped in there?

Su Cheng couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

Meanwhile, Su Ning and Qin Zhenzhen also caught wind of the wild boar’s cries..
