Su Bin had meticulously planned every aspect.

Anticipating that the Imperial Court wouldn’t inquire about the spoils of war and might even reward them to maintain a positive reputation, he strategically accounted for potential outcomes.

The Public House, having suffered silently, couldn’t openly punish Su Bin without risking further damage to their reputation. Importantly, the Duke remained unaware of Su Bin’s orchestrated plans. They likely believed it was a stroke of luck, attributing the success to his wife’s supposed ability to bring prosperity.

Observing Su Bin’s self-satisfied expression, Qin Zhenzhen playfully reached out to pinch his face.

“Alright! So, you want to use me to talk again!”

“I’m just an ordinary housewife. You make me sound like a goddess.”

Su Bin, not evading her touch, knew Qin Zhenzhen wouldn’t truly harm him.

“I’m speaking the truth. My wife is inherently blessed. She genuinely brings prosperity to our family and me.”

“My only concern is that the wretched Crown Prince might have designs on my wife again when the time comes.”

Qin Zhenzhen tenderly touched her stomach.

“Don’t worry. The Crown Prince is just a pervert. I’m almost the child’s mother.

How could he harbor any intentions?”

Unexpectedly finding herself pregnant at this time, Qin Zhenzhen dismissed the notion that the Crown Prince would persist in pursuing her.

Su Bin nodded. “You have a point.”

However, Su Bin’s inner thoughts diverged from what he expressed.

He was acutely aware of the prevalent belief in metaphysics among the people of their world. If the Crown Prince was fixated on marrying someone, he wouldn’t easily give up, even if the person was already married.

Despite these concerns, Su Bin refrained from voicing his worries aloud. He understood the importance of preserving his wife’s peace of mind, especially during pregnancy. The belief that pregnant women should avoid agitation or distress motivated him to share only positive news with his wife.

His utmost priority was ensuring her happiness and well-being.

The three factions successfully surrounded and concluded the battle against the bandits within five days, with the spoils of war already distributed before leaving the mountain. All three parties expressed satisfaction with the outcomes.

Despite some bandits managing to escape and others meeting their demise, a significant number were captured—over a hundred individuals—now confined in the government office’s prison. The prison, fortunately repaired by Su Bin beforehand, accommodated these captives.

As they awaited the Imperial Court’s representatives to take custody of the prisoners, Su Bin diligently attended daily interrogations, questioning both the actual bandits and those who collaborated with them outside the mountain. Within a few days, more than ten prisoners filled the cells.

Word of Governor Su’s actions spread throughout Shanglin Prefecture.

“Governor Su is truly the savior of our impoverished people!”

“This is fantastic. The mountain’s malevolent forces have been eradicated, and even those who colluded with them are now behind bars. Peace is finally within reach!”

“Absolutely! I heard they burned the houses in the mountains and the corpses of the evildoers, creating a few large graves. No one will dare to venture there again—fearful of the ghosts haunting those malevolent individuals.”

“Let’s not dwell on it. I need to write to my second uncle’s family and move back to Shanglin. We can finally lead a peaceful life.”

“I must personally bring my daughter back. No longer will I worry about her being abducted by those malevolent individuals and thrown into the mountains..”
