Chapter 472: No Relevance

Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Following the passing of the Old Marquis’s equal wife, the affluent women of the capital couldn’t help but engage in discussions.

“Weren’t they saying she had already entered the temple hall to pay her respects to Buddha? Why did she suddenly fall ill?”

“You’re right. She was perfectly healthy before entering the temple hall. Why did she become sick afterward?”

“I heard she went to the temple hall because she had sent someone to falsely accuse Primus Su. The Old Marquis disciplined her.”

“Not only did she send people to frame Primus Su, but I also heard she was responsible for the death of the Marquis’ Mansion heir and the Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion.”

“The Old Marquis is overly partial to her. Still, he only confined her to the temple hall and couldn’t bring himself to punish her.”

“She refused to repent and grew despondent because the Old Marquis no longer favored her. That’s when she fell ill.

“In my opinion, her illness is rather suspicious. She may have been poisoned…” “She got what was coming to her. Her malevolence caught up with her!” After the funeral, the Old Marquis found a quiet place to grieve.

He no longer harbored any animosity toward Bao’er.

In fact, he even wished he could join her in the afterlife.

In that other world, he hoped there were no distinctions based on family and status. There, he could make the choice to marry Bao’er.

However, he knew he couldn’t pass away just yet.

He still needed to find a way to safeguard the Marquis Mansion.

He couldn’t let the legacy of the Marquis Mansion vanish during his stewardship.

The Old Marquis couldn’t bear to hold any resentment towards Su Bin.

Because, in his place, he might have made the same choice.

Yet, he refrained from pleading with Su Bin once more.

It was as though he had severed all connections with Su Bin.

“I’ve heard that Su Bin is resolute in not returning to the Marquis Mansion. The Old Marquis tried to approach him on several occasions, but he didn’t acquiesce.”

“That’s commendable!”

“Given that his father opted to depart from the Marquis Mansion, why should they return?”

“I used to think Su Bin was imprudent. I assumed that upon his return, he would promptly secure the heir’s position without any effort and shun the hard work of preparing for the imperial examination.”

“Now, I comprehend. Su Bin possesses enough confidence to abstain from going back to the Marquis Mansion.”

“With his capabilities, he has no need for the Marquis Mansion’s resources.” Initially, the people in the capital would converse about this issue, but over time, fewer and fewer engaged in such discussions.

Much like their father, Su Bin had genuinely made every effort to disassociate himself from the Marquis Mansion.

The Crown Prince believed that he would remain unscathed if he avoided antagonizing the Third Prince and the General Manor. However, to his surprise, the General Manor continued to engage in subterfuge.

At the outset, Old General Chen visited the palace and revealed that an anonymous letter had been sent to the General Manor. He presented this letter to the Emperor, which contained evidence that the Crown Prince and the Empress had falsely accused the Third Prince.

As a result, the Emperor reprimanded the Crown Prince, cautioning him against harming the Third Prince further, pursuing Qin Zhenzhen, or suppressing Su Bin.

This caused the Crown Prince to become significantly more reserved. He suppressed his desires temporarily.

Nonetheless, the General Manor remained a source of concern for him. Old General Chen returned to the palace, presenting the Emperor with evidence that the Crown Prince had pursued the Third Prince within the Guang Mansion and subsequently framed remnants of the previous dynasty for the incident. All this evidence had been purchased by the General Manor through the Dragon Phoenix Hall.

To pacify the General Manor’s anger, the Emperor confined the Crown Prince for a month and took measures against the few strategists in the Crown Prince’s vicinity.

However, the Crown Prince’s most critical strategist, Mr. Lin, escaped punishment.

Shortly after, the Crown Prince and the Public House cooperated to train death warriors and guards. The evidence of this endeavor was also presented to the Emperor.

The Emperor was incensed. According to the rules, both the Crown Prince and the Public House were required to train a certain number of guards. Yet, their numbers had surpassed the stipulated limit by tenfold..
