Chapter 160: To the Prefecture
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the afternoon, Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong managed to convince the family to pack some simple clothes and pass on the seasonings to her cousin in the town.
However, Yang Gan, being a protective brother, naturally voiced his objections. “You should think this through carefully,” he warned.
“From what I can tell, Su Bin must have a formidable enemy. You’ve already faced danger once, why do you want to get involved again?”
Qin Zhenzhen was their sister’s beloved, and if anything happened to her, their sister would be devastated. Yang Gan couldn’t bear the thought of her facing any more risks.
They were uncles, and they needed to be persuaded.
But Qin Zhenzhen did not want to listen to anything she said. She was basing it on one thing –
“It is a fact that I married Su Bin. If Su Bin is unlucky, it is my fault. If he doesn’t get better, I won’t either.” “Honestly, if he dies, I will be a widow.”
“So I must go to the prefecture.”
“Maybe I can really bring luck to him. But whether or not I can save him, I need to give it a try.”
Yang Gan reminded Qin Zhenzhen. “I heard that Su Bin doesn’t like you. Aren’t you afraid that your efforts will be in vain?”
Qin Zhenzhen felt a mix of guilt and embarrassment as she fabricated a lie,
“That was in the past. Su Bin and I are already in a good relationship now.”
Her face flushed, and she hoped her family wouldn’t see through her deception. To her surprise, Yang Gan misinterpreted her blushing as shyness, not realizing she was actually lying.
Inside, Yang Gan couldn’t help but sigh at the complexities of love.
Qin Silong had not said a thing. When Yang Gan asked him, he said that the whole family could not persuade Qin Zhenzhen, and he was worried about her going alone, so he asked him to protect her.
Yang Gan eventually relented and stopped objecting to Qin Zhenzhen’s decision. He even offered his assistance, “Since you are going to the prefectural city and are not familiar with the place, I know someone who works for the governor.”
“I will write a letter to him, and when he receives it, he will arrange for your food and accommodation.”
Qin Zhenzhen felt relieved and grateful, “Thank you, Uncle!”
She eagerly awaited Yang Gan’s letter, having heard from her mother about her brother-in-law’s friend in the prefectural city who worked for the governor. With his help, she knew everything would be much smoother and easier for her during her stay.
Early the next morning, Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong decided not to leave with Su Bin and the others. She purposely refrained from informing Su Bin about her plan to head to the prefecture.
The journey to the prefecture was just one day’s walk, so Su Bin and the students from the college departed while they had only one meal on the way. The risk of being drugged so early in the journey was unlikely.
Upon arriving at the prefecture, Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong immediately sought out Yang Gan’s acquaintance, Chen Youwei. Chen Youwei quickly emerged from the governmental office. As the strategist of the prefectural office, he was known for his straightforwardness and efficiency.
Chen Youwei chuckled after reading Yang Gan’s letter, which expressed the close bond they shared. “Brother Yang Gan and I have a life-and-death relationship, and you are his nephews, so you can stay at my home for as long as you want!”contemporary romance
Grateful for the offer, Qin Silong and Qin Zhenzhen expressed their thanks. “Thank you, Uncle Chen.”
Chen Youwei promptly requested leave from work and accompanied Qin Zhenzhen and her brother to his home. There, they were introduced to his wife, Ms. Lin, and their daughter, Chen Shanshan.
“Darling wife, they are Brother Yang Gan’s nephews, and they are here in the prefecture. They will be staying with us for a few days,” he informed his wife.
Ms.Lin smiled. “Okay, Shanshan is complaining about not having any sisters to play with her, but here is a beautiful girl to have fun with her.”
Qin Zhenzhen felt a bit embarrassed.
She was getting prettier and prettier, but she could not get slimmer all of a sudden.
Chen Shanshan was 15 years old, and when she saw a stranger, she did not hide in the room like the other girls. Instead, she sized them up generously.
“Dad, he should be older than me, but is this the younger or the elder sister?”
