Chapter 515: Worry
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translationscontemporary romance
Auntie Wang understood and promptly responded, “Yes, Sixth Miss.”
Observing Su Ning and Auntie Wang’s departure, Su Bin settled beside Qin Zhenzhen, gently embracing her.
“Wife, you seem a bit distressed. Are you feeling exceptionally uncomfortable?”
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “Don’t overthink it. I’m not feeling too bad. I’m just concerned about Fourth Brother and Second Brother.”
In truth, her worries weren’t overwhelming. She trusted her fourth brother’s rebirth.
Nevertheless, a twinge of concern lingered.
She hoped her fourth brother would heed Second Brother’s commands.
Su Bin let out a sigh of relief.
“No need to fret over Second Brother and Fourth Brother. The Dragon Phoenix Hall’s members have already delivered letters to them.”
Qin Zhenzhen revealed, “I arranged for people to go, but I can’t do it now. Some matters can’t be explained in a letter. We need to meet.”
With competent martial arts and medical skills, she could aid Fourth Brother effectively. Her timely treatment could minimize casualties, ensuring better rewards for Fourth Brother and his allies.
Her concern, however, revolved around the numerical disparity.
Over 10,000 people had congregated, but Fourth Brother commanded only 5,000 regular soldiers. The additional 5,000 had to be sourced locally, making it uncertain if he could enlist that many.
Even if the local forces were cooperative and had mustered 5,000 soldiers, these troops were essentially a disorganized mob, posing an 80% chance of becoming a burden.
Sensing Qin Zhenzhen’s concerns, Su Bin attempted to reassure her. “Have faith in Fourth Brother. A recruit without a background can rise to the rank of chiliarch in a year, not solely by luck but also due to absolute strength.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled, expressing her hope for Fourth Brother’s success in a significant battle to secure a foothold in the military.
A few years later, if Fourth Brother held significant military power, their situation would likely improve.
Observing his wife’s smile, Su Bin reciprocated, “I know you’re not just worried about Fourth Brother. It’s my Second Brother you’re concerned about. His temperament was indeed unstable in the past.”
“But you needn’t fret too much. You’re aware that my Second Brother respects your Fourth Brother. With Fourth Brother holding a higher official position now, Second Brother will undoubtedly heed his instructions.”
“Moreover, I made it clear in the letter that he must follow Fourth Brother’s lead and avoid recklessness. The repercussions of rash actions won’t only endanger him but also implicate all the soldiers.”
“Despite his impulsive nature, Second Brother is loyal. He can’t bear to see his brothers harmed.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s worry eased with Su Bin’s explanation, and she genuinely smiled.
“Wife, the wind is strong in the backyard. Let’s return to our room.”
Though it was early summer, Su Bin felt it safer to retreat indoors, considering the possibility of his wife catching a cold if she were to vomit.
Unfazed, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “Don’t treat me like porcelain. I’m under enough pressure. I’m a doctor, and I know my physical condition best. I understand what I can and can’t handle.”
“Besides, don’t view me as a delicate flower. Imposing too many restrictions on pregnant women isn’t ideal.”
“We grew up in the countryside. It’s not as if you haven’t witnessed it before. The women in the village go about their daily lives during pregnancy as if nothing has changed. They continue with their farm work, even when they’re about to give birth, working in the fields.”
“Truth be told, I lean more towards the everyday activities of pregnant women like that..”
