Qin Zhenzhen returned to her room and found her grandmother anxiously awaiting her.
"Grandma, I've already assured you that I'll be fine. Please don't worry," Qin Zhenzhen said, attempting to reassure her.
Grandma Qin looked deeply concerned. "I don't want to worry, my dear, but I understand the nature of that old witch. How can I be at ease if you go to see her?"
Later that evening, the housekeeper arrived with the palace maids to deliver food to Qin Zhenzhen and the others. In a discreet move, Qin Zhenzhen slipped a note to the housekeeper, requesting that she pass it on to Su Bin.
After much contemplation, Qin Zhenzhen decided to confide in Su Bin about certain matters. She was aware of Su Bin's extensive intelligence network through Mr. Chen and his strategic acumen, traits that had made him the primary antagonist in the story.
