Chapter 543: Secret

Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

The following evening, Qin Silong sent a private message to Qin Zhenzhen, who opened it in the presence of Su Bin.

“I’m heading to the study to address matters concerning the government office,” the message read.

Su Bin instinctively considered making an excuse to leave, but Qin Zhenzhen intervened. “Fourth Brother sent a letter. Don’t you want to know what he wrote?”

Su Bin smiled and replied, “The date on your letter is the same as the one I received yesterday, during our initial attack on the castle. I assume the content is identical, primarily reporting good news.”

Having already read the letter, Qin Zhenzhen disclosed, “I have a secret to tell you. Do you want to hear it?”

Su Bin was taken aback. “Is it your secret or Fourth Brother’s secret?”

While he had long been aware that both his wife and Qin Silong harbored secrets, hearing it directly from Qin Zhenzhen caught him off guard.

Qin Zhenzhen, too, was surprised. Despite knowing Su Bin’s intelligence and harboring suspicions that he was aware of their secret, she felt a bit awkward being confronted with the question.

Realizing she should have confided in Su Bin earlier, she whispered, “My secret is Fourth Brother’s secret.”

She chose to share with Su Bin the revelation of Fourth Brother’s rebirth but refrained from disclosing her own transmigration from another world.

Su Bin gazed at Qin Zhenzhen with anticipation.

“Do you believe that I would dream of something that hasn’t happened yet?

And what happened next is exactly the same as what happened in the dream?”

Su Bin was genuinely surprised. “Are you suggesting that your fourth brother can dream about future events?”

Qin Zhenzhen affirmed, “Yes, that’s correct! Although it sounds like something out of a novel, it genuinely happened to my fourth brother.”

Su Bin’s surprise deepened. “Please, tell me the whole story in detail!”

If Qin Silong possessed the ability to foresee the future, it could potentially explain many perplexing occurrences.

“Sure,” Qin Zhenzhen began her explanation, choosing to reveal only part of the truth.

“It all started when you went to take the Cultivated Talent exam.”

“At that point, you had already left for the county, where you’d be taking the Cultivated Talent exam in two days.”

“One afternoon, Fourth Brother came to me and shared a peculiar experience.”

“He explained that he had a dream during a nap. In the dream, he saw a courtesan taking one of your books and returning it to you at the Academy.”

“Since you hadn’t come out, she left the book with the gatekeeper, identifying herself as Miss Honglian from the Yihong Courtyard. She claimed to be returning the book on behalf of her good sister and, in a moment of sorrow, revealed that her good sister had been deceived of her savings by a man, leading her to choose suicide and depart from the world.”

“At the time, Fourth Brother didn’t suspect that Miss Honglian was framing you. Instead, he believed you were the heartless man who had swindled a courtesan out of her money.”

“Fourth Brother was furious and supported my decision to divorce you. He insisted that a man with such a dubious character was unfit for marriage and should be divorced.”

“I disagreed with Fourth Brother, asserting that there must be a misunderstanding. I told him that you are not the kind of person who would deceive a courtesan for financial gain.”

“At that moment, I even said to Fourth Brother, ‘Do you harbor resentment towards Su Bin? Is this dream a product of your constant thoughts about him during the day, infiltrating your night-time dreams?”‘

“My fourth brother responded, suggesting that it might indeed be just a dream, urging me not to give it much consideration..”
