Chapter 650: Trustworthy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Su Bin expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Three years of favor and a promise to cherish his younger sister for a lifetime indicated that the emperor’s affection went beyond their family’s wealth.

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Su Bin shared the emperor’s commitment with Qin Zhenzhen.

“Wife, do you believe in the Emperor’s words?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. “I trust him.”

The Third Prince depicted in the book was a protagonist deeply in love, with upright values and positive energy. Such a character wouldn’t incline toward deceitful behavior.

“From now on, we must have confidence in Little Sister. I believe she’ll lead a happy life.”

Qin Zhenzhen had just discussed palace life with Su Ning, carefully observing her for any hidden emotions. Seeing none, Su Ning nodded in acknowledgment.

Su Ning differed greatly from the character in the book. Though infatuated with the emperor, she sought not only her own happiness but also aimed to contribute to her family. Gone were the days of the selfish and malicious supporting actress.

Qin Zhenzhen added, “Upon reflection, my little sister is quite exceptional. She’s beautiful, intelligent, diligent, and hardworking. With her in the palace, I’ve lost a valuable ally.”

Su Bin’s spirits lifted upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s words.

The General Manor buzzed with activity and joy.

With only a month of marriage leave, Qin Silong returned to Meijiang Prefecture City, bringing his fiancée’s family to the capital.

He envisioned a splendid wedding for his fiancée and had already instructed his family to make the necessary preparations. Now, he eagerly awaited the auspicious day.

Miss Chen never anticipated that Qin Silong would rise to the rank of general in just two to three years.

Upon receiving the news, she felt a mixture of surprise and worry. She feared that Qin Silong, now a general, might terminate their engagement and seek a more suitable match among the noble families – perhaps taking on multiple wives and concubines, a prospect she found intolerable.

Torn between her concerns and her feelings, she contemplated breaking off the engagement, but the thought pained her.

An unexpected relief came when Qin Silong promptly visited her.

“What nonsense is this? How can you think you’re not worthy of me? How

could I ever break off our engagement?”

“Remember, you decided to marry me when I was just a soldier. Am I that ungrateful? Don’t utter such foolish words!”

“I promise to cherish you for the rest of my life, just like my sister and brother-in-law. I will remain devoted to you and never take a concubine.”

On their wedding night, Qin Silong carefully selected Miss Chen’s wedding handkerchief, expressing, “Wife, you look stunning today.”

Miss Chen blushed. “General, please don’t make fun of me…”

She knew that she was not beautiful. This was also the reason why she was worried that Qin Silong would break off the engagement.

Qin Silong interrupted her. “Madam, you don’t have to be so reserved in the future. You’ll be the same as before. I like your straightforward personality in the past.”

Miss Chen let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Brother Silong!”

Qin Silong gently corrected her, “No need for formalities. Just call me Brother

Silong, like before.” “Give it a try.”

“Brother Silong.”

“Great! Now, let’s raise a toast.”

A moment in the spring night was worth a thousand gold.

On the third day of their marriage, Qin Silong sought an imperial edict to bring his wife to the border.

Su Ping had already become one of the four generals under Qin Silong.

Due to Su Bin’s significant contributions to the country and Su Ning’s role as the empress, the emperor reassigned Su Ping to the capital to serve in the city defense army. There was an evident intention to groom him for the future role of city defense commander..
