This time, it was Su Bin’s turn to express surprise. “Why bring up our sister’s marriage now? Does it relate to our current discussion?”

Suddenly, it dawned on him; there was indeed a connection.

Before Qin Zhenzhen could elaborate, Su Bin hastily interjected, “Are you concerned that the Third Prince might propose an engagement to our younger sister to secure our loyalty?”

Qin Zhenzhen candidly confirmed, “Exactly. You’ve mentioned that I am too innocent and not suited for the complexities of the harem.”

“Furthermore, if our younger sister were to enter the palace, it would essentially mean we have another vulnerability in the hands of the Third Prince.”

Leaving aside the question of whether Su Ning could enter the palace, even if she did, she stood little chance against the female lead.

“I’ve considered that as well.”

“I will genuinely ponder your suggestion.”

“However, I’ve already assured our younger sister that I won’t arrange an engagement for her while she’s underage.”

“Wife, why not let you handle this matter? Convey to our younger sister that, to prevent her from entering the palace, an engagement will be arranged first.”

Qin Zhenzhen found herself in a dilemma.

How could she approach Su Ning with such news?

Su Ning had already harbored a budding admiration for the Third Prince. If she learned of his potential intentions, she might agree without hesitation. Even if they explained that it was only a precautionary measure, Su Ning might not believe them, thinking they had sabotaged her chance at happiness.

Such a revelation could create a rift between her and her brother and sister-in-law, and this wasn’t the worst possible outcome.

Given Su Ning’s portrayal in the book, not only was she smitten, but she also exhibited a mix of naivety and audacity. There was a strong likelihood that she would personally confess to the Third Prince for the sake of her own happiness.

During such a moment, if the Third Prince reciprocated her feelings, it would be a natural development. However, even if he lacked genuine affection, he might accept Su Ning out of consideration for her and Su Bin. The Third Prince might even assume that she and Su Bin had silently endorsed Su Ning’s actions, leading the narrative to align with the tragic plot of the book, ultimately resulting in a grim fate for Su Ning.

As Qin Zhenzhen contemplated this, her headache intensified.

Su Bin, however, couldn’t fathom Qin Zhenzhen’s concerns. He was not as troubled by the situation. He simply offered a reminder, “You need to be clear with Little Sister. Let her know that we’ll carefully choose a suitable family for her. Furthermore, before any engagement is confirmed, we’ll ensure she meets the prospective partner, understanding their family background and personality.”

Qin Zhenzhen assented, “I’ll find an opportunity to discuss this with her.” “Even if we find a suitable match, exercise caution.’

She had devised a plan. Initially, she would ascertain the kind of young man Su Ning preferred and the type of family background she desired. One non-negotiable criterion was that the prospective partner had to be exceptionally good -looking.

“Let’s call it a night. It’s getting late.”

Su Bin diverted the conversation, putting an end to the topic.

The following day, Qin Zhenzhen sought out Su Ning for a serious conversation.

Recently, Su Ning had been immersed in her various responsibilities. Managing the shop and serving as a female teacher kept her occupied. Whether following the instructional content provided by Qin Zhenzhen or engaging in practical teachings, she approached her duties with diligence.

Observing the admiration from the young ladies who looked up to her, Su Ning felt a genuine sense of accomplishment. Her full attention was dedicated to her “career.”

Yet, upon returning home, she would wholeheartedly embrace Yuan Bao and refuse to let go.

“Third Sister-in-law, look at Yuan Bao; he’s truly brilliant. He does everything I ask, and he’s only a few months old!”

“By the time he starts talking, I’m half expecting him to compose poetry!” This claim was undoubtedly an exaggeration.

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “How did you become so articulate? It’s already impressive when kids can write poems by the age of three, but you’re suggesting he’ll do it effortlessly.”

While some children could articulate complete sentences before the age of one, the notion that Yuan Bao could compose poetry at such a tender age seemed like a stretch..
