Latest Noble Families Novel

Daily Life of Gossip in the Earl's Mansion Completed

The outgoing (E-person) charming general's daughter from a two-person family.

The introverted (I-person) pure family scion from a mansion full of people.

The Earl Pingkang Mansion, with its magnificent wealth, was one of the few prominent families in Tokyo City.

Speaking of the two branches of the Cui family, uncles and nephews, two generations combined could fill six tables for mahjong.

Yet, such a flourishing and prosperous noble family became a place that noble ladies "avoided like the plague."

In Tokyo City, those with higher standing than the Cui family were unwilling to marry their daughters there.

Those with lower standing, the Cui family looked down upon.

Finding a suitable match was even harder to mention.

Thus, the marriage of Cui Zhiyun, the only legitimate son of the Cui family's eldest branch, was delayed again and again.

However, Cui Zhiyun's mind was entirely on the Imperial Academy, and he had always let such matters take their natural course.

He even felt they were dispensable.

But seeing the concubines and the second branch's members one by one marrying new wives, Madam Cui, who was unwilling to humble her son by marrying down, could no longer sit still.

She picked and chose among the noble families in Tokyo City, and finally, with a firm resolve, she sent the marriage proposal to the Marquis of Huainan's residence, a family that even dared to reject a proposal from the Duke's mansion.

This difficult Taishi family became Madam Cui's last hope; if it didn't work out, she could only accept her fate.

Who knew the matchmaker, who left with a frown, returned with a smile.

The matchmaker, under the gaze of everyone in the Cui family, slowly took a sip of tea before calmly pulling out Taishi Zheng's marriage proposal, placing it on the table, and loudly declared:

"Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Madam! The marriage between our young master and Lady Zheng—the Taishi family has agreed!"

"Agreed... agreed?"

That day, the Cui family members forgot their joy and looked at each other in dismay.

No one believed, nor dared to believe, that this marriage had actually happened.

-Afterward, on the night of the wedding.

Cui Zhiyun stood by the bed, looking at everything before him as if in a dream, and finally asked the person before him the question he had always wanted to ask.

"There are thousands of good noble families in Tokyo City, why did Madam choose me?"

Taishi Zheng heard this, lifted a corner of the bed curtain, saw her handsome husband, and smiled brightly, "Oh? This? I heard your family is lively, so I came to see it after marrying in."
