Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s rejection, Su Bin hastily clarified, “We did indeed spend the night together, but it was a staged bridal chamber. Nothing intimate occurred between us.”
“If you’re uncomfortable with it, then let’s forget about this plan. I’ll come up with an alternative.”
Su Bin’s face reddened, and he felt a touch of embarrassment, contemplating making a quick exit from this awkward situation.
However, Qin Zhenzhen caught his arm. “Never mind, I’ll go along with your suggestion.”
As a modern woman, she couldn’t cling to outdated norms of ancient times.
Furthermore, Su Bin’s proposed plan seemed to have merit.
Qin Zhenzhen had even devised a plan. The following morning, before returning to the palace with the old eunuch, she intended to create conspicuous “love bites” on her body. This way, it would be evident to others that she and Su Bin had indeed consummated their marriage the previous night.
At noon, Su Bin received a message and hurriedly sought out Qin Zhenzhen.
He informed her, “The emperor met with your grandmother’s eldest sister.” Qin Zhenzhen was anxious. “What did she say?
“It’s just as we suspected,” Su Bin replied. “She informed the emperor that you possess a unique constitution that has been lost within the Jiang Family for generations.”
“After the Jiang Family discovered your existence, they attempted to secretly abduct you back, initially sending you to the palace with a different identity to benefit the Jiang Family. However, their plan failed.”
“The Jiang Family was unwilling to give up and dispatched a second group to capture you. However, it was at this point that my true identity was exposed, causing the Jiang Family to hesitate and refrain from challenging the Marquis Mansion, fearing a public scandal.”
“Subsequently, you established a workshop and a shop, quickly gaining fame. The Jiang Family had no choice but to employ a different approach, attempting to entice you back to serve their interests.”
“But you weren’t willing, and so the Jiang Family resorted to a sinister plan.
They arranged for you to enter the palace to treat Her Majesty the Queen Dowager’s headache, aiming to coerce you into gaining favor with them. Little did they know, you saw through their scheme,” Su Bin recounted.
He continued, “She provided a clear account of the sequence of events. I believe the emperor was persuaded by her, which is why he ultimately spared her life.”
“In addition, she described in great detail the characteristics and mystical qualities of women with unique constitutions within the Jiang Family.”
“She even mentioned that women with these special physiques emit a distinctive body fragrance that can only be perceived up close. It brings a sense of refreshment, and the food they prepare is exceptionally delicious. Moreover, the pills they concoct possess remarkable effects.”
Su Bin relayed the contents of the secret letter, concluding with a fabricated detail, “She mentioned this unique body fragrance.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s expression shifted. “Did she truly mention the unique body fragrance?”
Su Bin nodded. “That’s what the letter stated.”
“I sense that you’ve used something to mask your body fragrance.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s expression grew even more uneasy. “You… you smelled my body fragrance?”
Su Bin’s cheeks reddened. “I think I caught a whiff of it when we were close that day. Reflecting on it now, I felt remarkably invigorated.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s face burned with embarrassment. She had indeed been careless. Had she known, she would have strictly prohibited Su Bin from getting so close to her.
Unbeknownst to her, Su Bin had used this ruse to coax her into revealing the truth.
In reality, when she didn’t allow the spiritual water to overflow, her body fragrance was exceedingly faint. Ordinary people wouldn’t detect it.
Due to her long-term blindness, Granny Qin’s sense of smell had become particularly acute, allowing her to perceive the subtle fragrance.
Seeing that Qin Zhenzhen didn’t deny it, Su Bin felt a sense of satisfaction. His little wife, as it turned out, was quite extraordinary a piece of treasure..
