Chapter 403: I’ll Listen to You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Youfu expressed his apologies, saying, “I’m sorry, but the amount of land is quite limited. Even our own village doesn’t have enough to go around.”
Hearing this, villagers from neighboring villages couldn’t help but discuss the situation.
“It’s not surprising that there isn’t much rent-free land available.”
“After all, Su Bin is from the Qian Family Village, and the land he purchased likely prioritizes the needs of the villagers.”
“In any case, the Qian Family Village took them in and allowed them to settle
here.”
“Don’t be envious. It’s our own village’s fault for not having a High Scholar.” “Even if we had a High Scholar, it’s unlikely they would be as generous as Su
Bin. ”
“You’re right. I heard that the rent waiver was decided by his wife. While Su Bin listens to her, it’s unlikely that he’s naturally that kind-hearted.”
“I see. His wife is truly beautiful and benevolent.”
“That’s for sure!”
“Previously, Su Bin’s parents didn’t manage their affairs well. Qin Zhenzhen is now acc.u.mulating merit for their family.”
When these words reached Qin Zhenzhen, she teasingly said to Su Bin, “Do you have any regrets now?”
“You’ve bestowed upon me a good reputation while retaining a less favorable one for yourself.” Su Bin shook his head with a smile. “I have no regrets.”
“I did it for your sake.”
“The more esteemed your reputation, the higher your standing among the people.”
“That wretched Crown Prince won’t dare to easily target you.” “However, I suspect the Crown Prince is quite occupied these days.”
A smug smile appeared on Su Bin’s face.
The Third Prince had indeed returned to the palace, and this development put the Crown Prince on edge. He had to remain vigilant, constantly fearing that the Third Prince might seek revenge or gather substantial evidence to expose his scheming, potentially in front of their father.
Adding to his concerns, the Crown Prince couldn’t shake the feeling that the Third Prince might be just as cunning and strategic as himself. They were forced to maintain the facade of brotherly affection whenever they were in the presence of their father.
Despite all this, Su Bin couldn’t help but feel that the Crown Prince wasn’t occupied enough with these matters. With the intention of keeping the Crown Prince even busier, he instructed Mr. Chen to sell information about the Third Prince’s counterattack to the Crown Prince’s Residence.
This move further intensified the Crown Prince’s predicament, leaving him in a precarious situation.
During this period, Su Bin believed the Crown Prince should have no room for other thoughts, focusing solely on his aspirations for the imperial throne.
Qin Zhenzhen looked touched. “It’s been hard on you. You’re always thinking about me.”
Su Bin teased her. “Then will you repay me?”
Qin Zhenzhen took the initiative to snuggle in his arms.
Su Bin reached out and hugged her tightly.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “Are you satisfied with me throwing myself at you?”
Su Bin couldn’t help but chuckle, his desire for one more kiss evident in his expression.
Qin Zhenzhen looked up at him, her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness.
Su Bin leaned down, and the two of them shared another affectionate kiss.
After a while, Su Bin spoke somewhat awkwardly, “Wife, I didn’t plan for this to happen. I couldn’t control myself. Please don’t blame me…”
Despite her blush, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t push Su Bin away. This was how their relations.h.i.+p had always been; they simply understood each other.
It was Qin Zhenzhen who took the initiative this time, suggesting, “Why don’t we sleep together…’
Considering they had already engaged in an intimate act that lovers typically share, it seemed like a natural progression. There was just one last step to take. However, Su Bin shook his head and said, “I’d like to wait until next spring.”
This decision surprised Qin Zhenzhen, who asked, “Why?”
She had finally mustered the courage to suggest it, and he declined?
Su Bin’s expression turned serious as he explained, “I want to be a responsible man after pa.s.sing the examinations. I also want to put an end to my ties with the Marquis Mansion. I want to clearly inform the Old Marquis that I must respect my father’s choice and will not return to the Marquis Mansion.”
“Only by truly striving for my father’s vision can I consider myself a worthy husband.”
Whispering, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “Then I’ll follow your lead..”
