Chapter 246: Money from the Marquis Mansion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Butler Chen concluded his remarks, he discreetly observed Su Bin’s reaction, while Qin Zhenzhen also kept a watchful eye on Butler Chen.

Following a brief period of silence, Su Bin displayed a helpless expression and explained, “It’s not that we wish to disregard our familial ties. We simply aren’t eager to rush into the Marquis Mansion.”

“But do you have any specific concerns? Can you share them with me?” Su Bin inquired.

Butler Chen had an air of ambiguity about his true identity; both Su Bin and

Qin Zhenzhen sensed that he held a distinct status within the Marquis Mansion. Despite his title as the butler, there was a strong possibility that he served as an aide to the Marquis, evident from his demeanor.

Qin Zhenzhen exerted herself to recall the details of the original storyline. Had

Butler Chen played any role when Su Bin interacted with the Marquis Mansion? However, regardless of how hard she strained her memory, she could not recollect any mention of Butler Chen. Ultimately, she concluded that in Su Bin’s interactions with the Marquis Mansion, Butler Chen should not have been present. Otherwise, a person as astute as him would have certainly been documented in the book.

The explanations Butler Chen had offered to the Marquis initially seemed more like a diversionary tactic designed to deceive Su Bin.

However, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but perceive Su Bin as equally shrewd. She had a hunch that he had his sights set on the Marquis Mansion’s wealth. If she was correct, he might be on the verge of acquiring great riches in a matter of days.

Curious, Su Bin questioned Butler Chen, “Mr. Chen, how long have you served in the Marquis Mansion?”

Butler Chen responded, “It’s been nearly three years.”

Qin Zhenzhen found this revelation surprising and remarked, “In such a relatively short period?”

Could he have earned the Marquis’s trust in such a short span?

Butler Chen responded with an air of indifference, “My father once incurred a debt to the Marquis and made a promise to serve in the Marquis Mansion for twenty years. Unfortunately, my father passed away three years ago, and I am fulfilling his commitment on his behalf.”

Intrigued, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t resist asking again, “How long did your father work in the Marquis Mansion?”

Butler Chen, who had already conducted a background check on Qin Zhenzhen, had initially intended to discuss this matter privately with Su Bin. However, Su Bin had brought her along, considering Qin Zhenzhen’s background and the rumors surrounding her husband’s wealth. Therefore, he didn’t object to her presence.

However, her two questions had struck a chord, causing him to reevaluate Qin Zhenzhen. Still, being a man, he couldn’t openly scrutinize her.

After briefly casting a glance at Qin Zhenzhen, he replied, “My father served in the Marquis Mansion for seventeen years.”

Qin Zhenzhen’s understanding deepened.

It now made sense why there was no mention of him in the original book; he had likely left the Marquis Mansion before Su Bin’s dealings with it. A person as astute and capable as him wouldn’t have stayed at the side of the Old Marquis unless bound by his father’s promise.

To confirm her assumption, Qin Zhenzhen asked once more, “After fulfilling your father’s commitment, do you intend to leave the Marquis Mansion, Mr.

Chen?”

Butler Chen shifted his gaze to Su Bin and inquired, “Must I answer this question?”

Su Bin pressed on, saying, “If you want to know my concerns, I also want to understand you. This question isn’t too intrusive, is it?”

Butler Chen smiled and replied, “No, it’s not.”

The young master standing before him undeniably stood out from the other young masters residing in the Marquis Mansion.

If, in the future, the Marquis Mansion were to be entrusted to those typical young masters, he would unquestionably seek his departure from the estate.

However, if the young master before him were inclined to reclaim his position as the Marquis Mansion’s heir, he might contemplate whether to remain or depart..
