An Jing laughed, "I always keep my word, it's just that I'm afraid when the time comes, you officials won't keep yours."
Zhou, Zhao, Qian, and Sun, upon hearing An Jing's words, immediately exclaimed in unison, "A gentleman's promise is worth more than his weight in gold!"
Only then did An Jing look towards Official Liu and Li Jifan, "Official Liu, Official Li, if you don't speak up, does this mean you're betting or not?"
Official Liu immediately feigned a helpless expression, let out a light sigh, "Lord An, you are ruining your own future, I have nothing more to say, excuse me."
As he said this, Official Liu turned to leave, and as he walked, he kept shaking his head and sighing in resignation, as if An Jing truly was on the path to self-destruction.
In reality, Official Liu was secretly thrilled. When An Jing resigns after the cucumber seedlings die, he won't have to deal with a female official hovering before his eyes, always irritating him—how could he not be happy?
