"Absolutely! The Shen family is incredibly lucky! Zhiyu is handsome and dashing; it's a match made in heaven to have such a wonderful wife!"

"Besides, the Su family helped you through the famine years back then. Without them, it's hard to say whether your family could have survived. Now that they're desperate, you should repay their kindness. Otherwise, you'll be punished for your behavior."

The group of people chatted amongst themselves.

Zhu Xiuqin's face turned pale, then red, then white; she was extremely embarrassed.

She stared intently at Su Qingzhi in front of her, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to devour her whole, her heart already brimming with remorse.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just dragged her into the yard and closed the door.

If this gets back to the village chief...

When Liu Yuelan finds out later, will she still be willing to marry Zhiyu?

She's one of the best girls in the county!

"No, no, that's not it, everyone please don't misunderstand—let me explain..."

Zhu Xiuqin was extremely anxious, her voice trembling slightly.

"You don't know, she's the daughter of a wealthy family, spoiled and pampered. How could she be worthy of our Zhiyu?"

Su Qingzhi had waited so long, and finally it happened.

She slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

Men like Shen Zhiyu are cowardly, ruthless, and greedy for fame and fortune.

Even if he knelt at her feet and begged her to marry him, she would not agree to it in the slightest.

Her husband should be someone who can protect her, cherish her, know her, and understand her.

Rather than a hypocrite who curries favor with the powerful.

"This marriage contract was my grandfather's last wish before he passed away. As a junior and the only daughter of the Su family, I have the responsibility and obligation to fulfill it for him."
