Chapter 362: Chapter 349: Interfering in the Marriage

“Especially this time, being startled by this incident, I’m afraid she will be even more clingy.”

“Your mother knows you’re a kind-hearted child, so I’m particularly urging you. If Zhuang Qinghe comes to you weeping after she returns this time, you must not soften your heart. Otherwise, it might be a disaster in the future and completely ruin your marriage.”

“Rest assured, mother, I understand.”

Zhuang Wencheng was initially worried that Mrs. Wang wanted to talk about something serious, which troubled him for a while. Now that he understood what she was referring to, he breathed a sigh of relief, “I am not a child anymore. I have a clear understanding of such matters.”

This isn’t a problem that can be solved by giving some money or doing some physical work. It’s about delaying his marriage.

Even if Zhuang Wencheng is kind-hearted, he understands this.

Seeing Zhuang Wencheng agree so decisively and earnestly, Mrs. Wang felt slightly relieved and began to smile, “I knew you would stand firm.”

Especially when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, he has a keen eye. Isn’t that why he took a fancy to Zhuang Qingning in the first place?

Mrs. Wang’s face burst into a heartfelt smile, like a blooming peony flower, “Alright, alright, since you understand, I won’t say more. You go and busy yourself, I need to quickly go and buy some meat.”

“I will stew some meat at noon and send a bowl to your Aunt Wen too.”

Zhuang Wencheng has a lot of respect for Mrs. Wen. Now that he heard Mrs. Wang was planning to show respect to Mrs. Wen, his heart was filled with joy and he nodded.

“Then I will go to work.”

“Go ahead, put more effort into your work. It’s not easy for Ning girl to manage all this as a young lady. You need to play your part and contribute as much as you can.”

Mrs. Wang rambled on, giving him a few more reminders.

Zhuang Wencheng really couldn’t figure out why Mrs. Wang’s attitude had changed so quickly, but as far as he was concerned, as long as she didn’t oppose him liking Zhuang Qingning, that was enough. He mumbled in agreement, entered Zhuang Yonghe’s courtyard, and then began to discuss with Zhuang Qingning about setting up the clinic in the town.

Mrs. Wang did not leave immediately but walked quietly to the door, peeking into the courtyard. Seeing Zhuang Wencheng and Zhuang Qingning chatting intimately, she left with a satisfied smile on her face.

Beijing, palace, Qingan Garden.

“Is everything alright with Jinzhou?” Chu Yunzhao took a sip from his cup of Longjing tea and asked, “He left abruptly some time ago. I heard from some people that something had happened in Qingzhuyuan and they were looking for you.”

“Everything is fine with Jinzhou, but as for Mr. Fan…”

Chu Jinnian said indifferently, “I suppose the Fourth Prince must know about his temperament.”

The entire capital city knew of Fan Wenxuan’s eccentric character, and of course, Chu Yunzhao knew about it. Hearing Chu Jinnian say this, he couldn’t help shaking his head in resignation, “It’s true that everyone knows about Master Fan’s peculiar character. The outrageous act of causing chaos in the Hanlin Academy that he did back then, I think there might be nothing that He wouldn’t do.”

“It’s rather tough on you, Jinnian, to not dislike him at all.”

“I’m sure this has given you a lot of headaches recently.”
