Chapter 403: Ill Listen to You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qian Youfu expressed his apologies, saying, Im sorry, but the amount of land is quite limited. Even our own village doesnt have enough to go around.

Hearing this, villagers from neighboring villages couldnt help but discuss the situation.

Its not surprising that there isnt 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.

Dont be envious. Its our own villages fault for not having a High Scholar. Even if we had a High Scholar, its unlikely they would be as generous as Su

Bin.

Youre right. I heard that the rent waiver was decided by his wife. While Su Bin listens to her, its unlikely that hes naturally that kind-hearted.

I see. His wife is truly beautiful and benevolent.

Thats for sure!

Previously, Su Bins parents didnt 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?

Youve 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 wont dare to easily target you. However, I suspect the Crown Prince is quite occupied these days.

A smug smile appeared on Su Bins 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 couldnt 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 couldnt help but feel that the Crown Prince wasnt 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 Princes counterattack to the Crown Princes Residence.

This move further intensified the Crown Princes 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. Its been hard on you. Youre 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 couldnt 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 didnt plan for this to happen. I couldnt control myself. Please dont blame me

Despite her blush, Qin Zhenzhen didnt 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 dont 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, Id 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 Bins 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 fathers choice and will not return to the Marquis Mansion.

Only by truly striving for my fathers vision can I consider myself a worthy husband.

Whispering, Qin Zhenzhen replied, Then Ill follow your lead..
