“If we have to consider it, we’ll let you be the decision-maker.” Qin Zhenzhen attempted to clarify further.
Being a “good person” was proving to be quite challenging!
Her intention was to alter Su Ning’s destiny, yet Su Ning was hesitant to embrace her benevolence.
“Third Sister-in-law, please convey to Third Brother that there’s no rush to think about it at the moment. I still have a few years until I reach adulthood. As I grow older, I’ll have a better understanding of the kind of person I prefer!” Su Ning stood firm.
Her reluctance wasn’t unfounded. The mere mention of engagement would summon the image of the Third Prince into her mind. Often, she found herself replaying the way he smiled at her and spoke to her.
She knew it wasn’t right to think about a man so incessantly, but she couldn’t help herself.
If she could share her life with the Third Prince, it would make everything worthwhile.
“Alright, don’t worry.”
“I won’t bring it up again.”
“Sure, thank you, Third Sister-in-law.”
Qin Zhenzhen noticed a slight blush on Su Ning’s face—more than the usual red hue.
Perhaps she was contemplating the Third Prince.
After all, as described in the original book, Su Ning frequently indulged in imagining the Third Prince’s interactions with her. This often resulted in her blushing and becoming engrossed in her own fantasies.
Inwardly, Qin Zhenzhen sighed. It seemed too early for young girls in ancient times to navigate the complexities of love.

Time passed swiftly, marking the fifth year since Qin Zhenzhen’s transmigration.
Yuan Bao, now over a year old, had already mastered the art of running and could even read, leaving many astonished by his precociousness. Witnessing such intelligence in a one-year-old was a spectacle that one had to see to believe.
Su Bin’s administration of Shanglin Prefecture continued to excel. The populace enjoyed a harmonious life, and ongoing renovations enhanced the prefecture’s facilities. Its prosperity rivaled that of the capital’s center.
Qin Zhenzhen’s business expanded steadily, with an increasing number of projects. From marketing health foods and therapeutic packs to establishing medicine, grain, and wine shops, she ventured into any business that offered sustenance. With her renowned name, there was no need for extensive advertising. The world recognized that her products, if of quality, were fit for royalty.
Su Chen had blossomed into an elegant young man, his charm ranking just below that of his third and fourth brothers. Despite his young age, he effortlessly captivated the hearts of the girls in Shanglin Prefecture.
Su Ning, now 13, had entered adolescence and grown into a striking young lady. The entire family, nourished by Qin Zhenzhen’s spiritual water, radiated beauty.
The new emperor, reigning for over a year, found life challenging. Nearly all memorials required prior review by the Public House, and all court decisions had to align with the Public House’s directives. The State Duke personally cautioned him, warning that any disobedience would be met with dire consequences.
The new emperor harbored a deep-seated hatred and fear for the Public House.
His animosity toward the Public House stemmed from their manipulation of him as a puppet. Furthermore, he resented the heavens for not addressing the transgressions of the Lord State Duke, who had offended Longwei. His self-loathing intensified as he felt inferior to his late father.
Despite these sentiments, he found himself incapable of dismantling the influence of the Public House.
While the Empress Dowager had attempted to confront the Public House on several occasions, her efforts consistently ended in failure.
His mother, on the other hand, was inconsequential.
Not only was she timid, but she was also deemed unintelligent.
Her survival in the harem was solely due to the Empress Dowager’s protection.
Furthermore, she had advised him to let things be. With someone else handling political matters, he could lead a carefree life.
However, the Emperor was unwilling to accept such a scenario.
He was well aware that seeking assistance in political affairs would inevitably lead to his complete replacement..
