Chapter 621: Engagement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before the female protagonist in the book transmigrated, Qin Zhenzhen had already become the wealthiest person in the country, an unparalleled figure.
Even with the female protagonist’s protagonist halo, it was deemed impossible for her to surpass Qin Zhenzhen. Furthermore, the one financially supporting the Third Prince was not the female lead from the book but Su Bin and Qin
Zhenzhen.
Contrary to the book’s narrative, it was Su Bin who orchestrated the moves for the Third Prince and the leader of the martial arts world.
In the book’s plot, the Third Prince’s devotion to the female lead wasn’t solely due to her protagonist halo; it stemmed from the anticipation that the male lead would inevitably fall in love with her. The Third Prince regarded the female lead as his savior and was sincerely grateful to her.
The question lingered: if the female lead didn’t aid the Third Prince, would he still pledge a lifelong commitment to her?
There was also the looming possibility that the Third Prince’s associates might propose a marriage between the Third Prince and Su Ning to garner support from Su Bin.
Qin Zhenzhen’s concerns persisted, contemplating the option of expediting Su Ning’s engagement.
Yet, at that moment, Su Bin reassured Qin Zhenzhen, “The Third Prince’s demeanor and interpersonal skills are indeed superior to others.”
“The envoys from the Public House and the Empress Dowager approached me for cooperation, exuding an air of superiority and condescension. It felt like they were graciously bestowing favor upon us.”
“The Third Prince, on the other hand, not only took the personal risk to come but also expressed his gratitude numerous times.”
“While he made no explicit promises, I sense he has already considered how to reciprocate in the future. His eyes convey a genuine commitment, assuring me that he will treat us well.”
“Hahaha, looking back, the Third Prince is truly a bit adorable. Compared to that cunning old fox Lin Yue, he’s much cuter!”
Curious, Qin Zhenzhen inquired of Su Bin, “What do you think the Third Prince will do to express his gratitude when he ascends to the throne?”
Su Bin replied in a hushed tone, “Judging from his demeanor, he’ll undoubtedly grant me a prominent position, possibly the highest-ranking official in the court!”
This revelation startled Qin Zhenzhen. “Are you saying he might appoint you as Prime Minister?”
Su Bin nodded confidently. “That’s what I gather. Besides, I have the capability to serve as Prime Minister!”
Not only was Su Bin self-assured, but he also exuded a sense of certainty.
Qin Zhenzhen refrained from teasing him, acknowledging his role as the young Prime Minister in the book.
“So, would you be willing to serve as his Prime Minister?”
Su Bin responded straightforwardly, “It depends on the circumstances when the time comes. If my wife desires wealth, status, and influence, I’ll play the role. If she craves peace and freedom, I won’t take on that role.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled, “We’ll see then.”
She valued peace and freedom, but she understood that Su Bin might wish to stand out and defend their father, who had left home.
This, perhaps, was one of the reasons why Su Bin supported the Third Prince.
Whether it was the establishment of a new emperor or the successful power grab by the Public House, Su Bin might not shy away.
Qin Zhenzhen contemplated not being too selfish when the time came.
However, if the Third Prince were to offer Su Bin the position of Prime Minister, and Prime Minister’s sister, Su Ning, was perfectly qualified to be the Empress.
Her worry deepened, fearing that such thoughts might cross Su Bin’s mind now and change when he encountered the female lead. Su Ning was still the one nursing an injury.
It was known that love could cloud judgment, leading even the most rational individuals down a potentially misguided path. Such was the portrayal of Su Ning’s character in the book.
At this thought, Qin Zhenzhen suddenly suggested, “Our little sister is not young anymore. If she has a suitable family, we can settle her marriage first..”
