“The Jiang family assures you that they will not compel you to surrender the formula, nor will they demand a share of your business profits.”

“I can personally vouch for this, as the family head conveyed these words in front of a substantial audience prior to my departure. Thus, you needn’t fret about any potential reneging on the family’s part.”

“Third Aunt, I implore you to contemplate this matter with care. One cannot dwell in the past indefinitely, nor cling to it incessantly.”

“Returning to the Jiang family offers numerous advantages. Foremost, you would acquire ownership of a spacious residence situated in the most prestigious part of the capital, amply accommodating your entire family.”

“Moreover, the status of your descendants would undergo a transformation. They would ascend to the ranks of affluent young masters and young ladies in the city, enjoying opulence and prestige.”

These were the terms presented by the Jiang family to Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin.

Nevertheless, Qin Zhenzhen had already conferred with her grandmother and made a steadfast decision not to return.

Much like how Su Bin had resolved not to return to the Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Cha had assumed that the Jiang family’s offers were quite enticing. Even if Qin Zhenzhen and the others didn’t provide an immediate response, he believed they would at least contemplate the proposition.

However, he had not anticipated Qin Zhenzhen’s immediate rejection.

“Please convey to your patriarch that when my grandmother left the Jiang family, she solemnly pledged to sever all ties with them. Our grandmother has even changed her surname, making any return to the Jiang family impossible!” “Our family respects our grandmother’s choice, and we will not acknowledge any connection to the Jiang family.”

“As for our fate after entering the palace, you need not concern yourself!”

Jiang Cha had no alternative but to step back and say, “You can make your decision at a later time.”

He then offered a final, considerate reminder:

“Considering your current positions, it may not be suitable for you to remain in the Marquis Mansion.”

“That spacious residence in the capital has already been registered under Third Aunt’s name. You can reside there. I’ll escort you there once we arrive in the capital.”

Qin Zhenzhen waved her hand dismissively. “We already have a home. You need not worry about us staying here.”

Mr. Chen had proven to be highly capable. Two months earlier, he had assisted Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin in purchasing a substantial property in the capital. Even the household staff had been hired and were eagerly awaiting their new master’s arrival.

Jiang Cha had expended considerable effort in attempting to persuade them, but it had all been in vain.

Internally, he harbored a sense of derision. They had declined a gracious offer, and now they would face the consequences!

However, he maintained a composed exterior, saying, “Very well, I will convey your decision to the family head. I also hope that you will reconsider this matter earnestly.”

After Jiang Cha departed, Su Bin summoned Qin Zhenzhen from the room.

“Did you hear what I said just now?”

Judging by Su Bin’s expression, Qin Zhenzhen had already surmised something.

Su Bin nodded. “I heard it.”

“I want to ask you, how confident are you in treating the Empress Dowager’s headache?”

Qin Zhenzhen replied, “That depends on the specific condition of the patient. I can’t gauge my confidence accurately at this point.”

She couldn’t resist teasing Su Bin. “But if the Empress Dowager’s headache proves to be particularly stubborn, and my confidence wavers, what should I

“Ah, please don’t tell me you’re waiting to be punished severely?”

Su Bin gazed at Qin Zhenzhen’s anxious expression and hesitated for a moment. He couldn’t resist offering reassurance.

“You’ve already successfully restored your grandmother’s eyesight. Dealing with a mere headache should be a breeze for you.”

Qin Zhenzhen responded, “I’m just considering all possibilities.”

After pondering for a moment, Su Bin suggested, “What if I go to the Marquis Mansion to acknowledge my family? If you were recognized as the heir’s wife, it might change the situation.”

Qin Zhenzhen promptly objected, “Absolutely not! We’ve made our decision not to return to the Jiang family. We can’t allow you to go back to the Marquis Mansion..”
