After Mr. Chen’s reassuring words, Su Bin felt a wave of relief wash over him.

He personally prepared a cup of tea for Mr. Chen, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you for going through all this trouble, Mr. Chen. I can’t express my gratitude enough.”

Beside the Empress Dowager, the nanny who had originally been under Mr. Chen’s father had already agreed to release Su Bin from their intelligence network. She was no longer considered part of their group.

It had been Mr. Chen who had persistently persuaded her to participate in this mission.

Mr. Chen spoke earnestly, “Young Master, please don’t say that. I’m more than willing to go to great lengths for you.”

With a happy demeanor, he shared some news with Su Bin.

“Initially, the housekeeper had only agreed to ensure the safety of Miss Qin Zhenzhen and the others. However, after interacting with Miss Qin, she voluntarily expressed her desire to rejoin us.”

“Miss Qin’s allure is truly remarkable.”

The latest information obtained from the Empress Dowager was undoubtedly valuable and could fetch a high price.

Su Bin was equally amazed, “Indeed, she’s exceptional.”

Without delay, Su Bin posed another question, “Have you discovered any other motives behind the Empress Dowager’s resentment towards Grandma Qin?” Mr. Chen replied, “Yes, I’ve uncovered some intricate details.”

Originally, Grandma Qin’s birth name was Jiang Fenglian. She was the third daughter of the Jiang family’s patriarch.

She possessed exquisite beauty and, with her own diligent efforts, had become extraordinarily skilled in both culinary and medical arts, surpassing her peers.

Had she been a man, the Jiang family would undoubtedly have nurtured her with great care.

It was a woman, and the Jiang family held her in high regard.

Initially, they intended to send her to the imperial palace to be pampered. However, due to the elderly and feeble state of the reigning emperor at that time, he lacked the vitality to expand his harem.

As an alternative plan, the Jiang family strategized to send her to the residence of the crown prince. With her exceptional beauty and talents, it was believed that she could easily secure a position as a concubine when the crown prince eventually ascended the throne.

This move would potentially yield advantages for the Jiang family.

The family first approached the Crown Prince to gauge his opinion, and he did not object.

At that time, Grandma Qin had already gained widespread fame for her exceptional beauty, and her renown extended throughout the capital.

The Crown Prince was no exception; he had heard of her.

Had it not been for her status as the daughter of a concubine, she might have married into a wealthy family.

Unfortunately, fate did not ordain her as the first wife, and the Jiang family was opposed to her marrying into a household that offered no benefits to their own.

Her destiny lay in the palace.

The Jiang family had plans to select an auspicious day to send Jiang Fenglian to the Crown Prince’s Residence as a potential bride.

However, the eldest daughter of Clan Head Jiang was on friendly terms with the crown prince’s consort at the time and discreetly informed her of this plan.

The newlywed crown prince’s consort, who had recently entered the Crown Prince’s Residence, had no intention of allowing a stunning beauty to enter and potentially compete for the crown prince’s affection.

However, she dared not openly oppose the idea in front of the Crown Prince.

Instead, she devised a plan and confided in her great-aunt. Earlier, the Empress Dowager had suggested that if the ailing Seventh Prince were to have a concubine with knowledge of medicine who could care for him day and night, his health might significantly improve.

The Empress Dowager, misunderstanding the situation, took the Crown Princess Consort’s words to heart. Seizing the opportunity, the Crown Princess Consort recommended Jiang Fenglian.

On that fateful day, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree, instructing the Jiang Family to select a suitable date for Jiang Fenglian to enter the Seventh Prince’s residence.

To everyone’s surprise, the Seventh Prince had secretly harbored affection for Jiang Fenglian for quite some time. Upon hearing of his grandmother’s imperial decree, he seized the moment to express his desire to formally wed Jiang Fenglian as his wife.

However, due to Jiang Fenglian’s status as a concubine’s daughter, she was ineligible to become a princess consort.

In response, the emperor penned an imperial edict, designating the eldest daughter of the Jiang family as the primary consort to marry the Seventh Prince, with Jiang Fenglian serving as the secondary consort. This arrangement would ensure that two women with medical knowledge would care for the Seventh Prince simultaneously.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family initially harbored reservations, but eventually, both sisters wed the Seventh Prince at the same time..
