When Su Bin returned home, his expression remained dark.
Qin Zhenzhen gently pulled him into the room. "What's bothering you so much?"
Su Bin recounted the events that had transpired.
"At first, I was somewhat moved, but not to the extent of being deeply touched."
"However, later on, he actually urged me to align with the Crown Prince's faction. I couldn't bear it!"
"He should be well aware of the Crown Prince's character!"
"Ultimately, it's his own self-interest at play!"
"He seems to believe that by offering the death exemption token, he can keep me in the capital. If I were to become the Crown Prince's subordinate, the benefits to the Marquis Mansion might outweigh the value of a death exemption token."
Qin Zhenzhen consoled him, "Don't let it get to you. In reality, he's primarily concerned about your safety. His intentions are good."
"At the very least, he's willing to use the death exemption card for your sake."
