Chapter 445: Chapter 432: The Capital City’s Top Money Fanatic
“You did promise me you wouldn’t marry within the next two years.” reminded Chu Yunzhao.
“Times change, back then I didn’t even know I had a marriage pact. But now that I do, and if the other person is to my liking…” Chu Jinnian touched his nose, “I can’t guarantee what I might do.”
So, it turns out that Chu Jinnian, who I thought wasn’t interested in marriage at all, is actually someone who breaks promises as soon as he learns about his arrangement.
What a scoundrel!
“You… are despicable!” Chu Yunzhao grumbled through gritted teeth.
“There’s no need for the Fourth Prince to get so upset, everything can be negotiated.” A meaningful smile spread across Chu Jinnian’s lips. “Why not discuss it with me? Perhaps I might agree with the Fourth Prince’s request and postpone it.”
“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Chu Yunzhao’s anger subsided considerably. He pondered for a moment before asking, “How can we negotiate?”
“If the Fourth Prince gives me another shop, I might consider delaying this marriage for two or three years.” Chu Jinnian replied,
Chu Yunzhao, “…”
So, after all the roundabout talk, he still wants my shop.
Chu Jinnian, from now on, don’t call yourself the Stoic King of Hades. Change your name to the Capital City’s Number One Money Fanatic!

When evening fell, Zhuang Jingye arrived at Zhuang Qingning’s house, looking very excited.
“What was the outcome of Village Chief’s visit to the County Government Office?”
As Zhuang Qingning asked, she poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Jingye.
It was Chrysanthemum tea, with a bit of rock sugar added, slightly sweet to taste, moistening and cooling. It was neither cold nor hot, just the right temperature.
Zhuang Jingye took a sip of tea and smiled, “After going there, I sought out Master Ding. Just so happened Master Ding was at the County Office today, so I told him about this situation.”
“Upon hearing this, Master Ding’s face turned serious. He said that Zhaojiazhuang had gone too far and that he was going to reprimand Zhao Qiancheng. He also assured me not to worry and would definitely get our village justice.”
“With Master Ding around, I think we can rest easy.”
Zhuang Jingye remembered how courteous Ding Gaochang was to him today at the County Government Office, his spirits soared.
“Master Ding is always fair in his dealings, he certainly wouldn’t let Zhao Qiancheng go easily. But for such matters, we can’t rely solely on Master Ding,”
Zhuang Qingning laughed, “Village Chief, you must know who among our villagers loves to gossip the most and enjoys chatting aimlessly with folks from neighboring villages.”
“Of course.”
Zhuang Jingye nodded.
He has been the Village Chief for many years. Enji Village isn’t large and has a small population. He knows the character and habits of those who live there very well.
“Don’t worry Ning’er, I’ll make sure everyone keeps quiet about this and doesn’t spread unnecessary rumors,”
