Long or short?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Short.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Qingye paused in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy actually wants to go short!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, retail investors are wildly enthusiastic, cotton futures trading is extremely active, and the main players are merely taking profits and resting halfway up the mountain, so cotton prices have begun to range-bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Ru let out a cold snort from her nose; I smiled silently at the corner of my mouth. This phoenix-blood jade bracelet was made from jade tribute from the southern frontier, crafted by palace artisans—only two existed. The Emperor gifted one to Concubine Xin and the other to Lady Ru, who gave it to Concubine Qing to win her favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Ruo did not refuse, bowed to Lady Li in thanks, and sat down on the yellow sandalwood folding chair nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hu, eating his meal, saw the comments and twitched his eyebrow, too drained to retort—old hands always walk alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank Your Majesty.” Qing Shuang playfully rubbed her painless nose, giggling, then followed the Emperor’s gentle embrace toward the inner chamber; though her legs ached slightly, the deep smile on her lips spread wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those beyond ordinary have extraordinary perspectives. Fan Cheng’s cultivation is shallow, yet he is no ordinary man. He felt: the benefactor of his innate talent spoke no idle words. His father and the benefactor’s wife must be connected—wasn’t that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li and Lady Su entered the palace early, once favored, but as their beauty faded with youth, imperial favor gradually waned. Perhaps because they were too plain, they remained safe in the palace’s dragon-and-tiger den despite lacking favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I silently thought in surprise: So the man Xin Yue admires is Prince Su of Suge? No wonder she brought back that rabbit at Mulan Hunting Grounds. Thank heaven this pigeon landed with me—if it had gone to anyone else, the consequences would be unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xian was officially appointed Grand Marshal at age twenty-two, breaking Wang Mang’s record and becoming the first and last court official in history to hold such a position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Really.” She truly couldn’t be sure. Zhi Xing made sense—who knew how things would turn out this time? Last time, my husband avoided good families; would he avoid Luo’s this time? Could Bao’er, Zhi Xing, Zhi Yuan—these blood relatives—surely remain unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name is merely a symbol; even without speaking it, nothing changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the room, the chief steward, unable to bear the sight, looked up at his lord’s grim face and shook his head, unsure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, remembering Yun Yue waiting in the car for him to bring back the items for an emergency, Lin Feng glanced at the student girl hunched over her phone at the register, cleared his throat, and slowly walked up to the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How embarrassing—smoking in a place like this. How did this guy even get in?” The man stared at Lin Feng with contempt, speaking with clear disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, he noticed Zong Xueqing’s gaze on him—filled with a quiet resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi. His name might sound unfamiliar, but mention the White-Ear Elite Troops, and everyone knew. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei took control of Xu Province, Chen Dao followed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it was.” Xuan Yuan Tianxin finally resolved her long-standing confusion. She’d always thought: the annual grade competition happens every year, and Sui Yun, Lie Chongyuan, and Yan Junzhe had always been top two on the outer courtyard combat arena rankings—why had they never entered the inner courtyard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled faintly inside—though all memory was gone, some things are deeply etched into the blood, unchangeable even by death.\u003C\u002Fp>",632,"2026-06-20T05:58:40.725Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8e4f10f37e80ad041b7c71681ffb1ea2f76a68cea14cdb6ed4b869a77e299ada","i-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-chapter-176","i-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-chapter-174",215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-in-a-small-county-and-you-say-i-m-a-big-shot-cover.jpg"]
