Bab 299: Don't Want to Incriminate the Marquis Mansion

If the palace insisted on punishing Qin Zhenzhen, and Su Bin were to become the heir of the Marquis Mansion, standing in defiance of the palace, there was a real risk of provoking the emperor's wrath, potentially leading to the complete obliteration of the Marquis Mansion. The Old Marquis likely hadn't contemplated such dire consequences.

Upon Mr. Chen's gentle prodding, the gravity of the situation began to dawn on the Old Marquis. At his advanced age, the prospect of losing his family's estate weighed heavily on his mind, a fate he desperately wished to avoid.

"I believe that Young Master must have valid reasons for his actions," the Old Marquis confessed, acknowledging the weight of the situation.

Mr. Chen, understanding the Old Marquis's concerns and reluctance to sacrifice the Marquis Mansion for Qin Zhenzhen, chose not to press the matter further. He shared the same apprehension about Su Bin's future being jeopardized by his involvement with Qin Zhenzhen.
