He felt annoyed just thinking about it.
So, I ran out.
However, judging from the current evidence, this title can no longer be retained.
It was a good thing for him, but it would be difficult for him to marry Xia Mingxuan without a title.
"Mingxuan, if I lost the Yongchang Palace, would you still marry me?"
Xia Mingxuan was still buried in Zhu Linan's arms, smelling the clean and pleasant scent on his body. Her face was also shy. She slowly raised her head and said, "I want to marry you, not the Yongchang Jue Mansion."
This was the first time that Xia Mingxuan clearly said that she wanted to marry Zhu Linan, and Zhu Linan was a little confused for a moment.
He was stunned for a moment before slowly lowering his head, looking at Xia Mingxuan's rosy face, his cold eyes full of affection.
Xia Mingxuan also looked up at him, their eyes met, and even the distance between them became closer and closer, and the ambiguous atmosphere was instantly filled.
Xia Mingxuan closed his eyes first, as if he had a premonition.
Her eyelashes, like the brush of a small brush, fluttered rapidly with Xia Mingxuan's nervous breathing, and at this moment Zhu Linan kissed her eyes.
When Xia Mingxuan opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Linan's deep gaze. Before she could speak, her lips were blocked by Zhu Linan.
When their lips touched, the soft touch made their hearts tremble, as if they had grown wings and soared straight into the sky. But when they looked down, they felt dizzy and almost lost consciousness.
Zhu Linan hurriedly supported Xia Mingxuan. Xia Mingxuan was breathing heavily, and his pair of autumn-water eyes seemed to be filled with mist, which made people addicted.
She gasped several times before she came to her senses and found that she was completely buried in Zhu Linan's arms, and she almost couldn't breathe when she did that just now.
This kind of thing made Xia Mingxuan blush completely.
It's really embarrassing.
Without caring about anything, Xia Mingxuan quickly covered his face and ran away, even forgetting to take the lunch box he brought with him.
Zhu Linan looked at Xia Mingxuan's back as she hurried away. Just as he was about to call her, he saw Xu Qingquan, the Dali Temple Secretary, running over and almost being bumped by Xia Mingxuan.
He looked at the woman who ran out hurriedly with her face covered, then looked at Zhu Linan who had a smug look on his face, and immediately understood what was going on.
"Are you...bullying the girl?"
"How's the case going?" Zhu Linan didn't want to respond at all.
"I'm asking you, was that girl the one who brought you pastries earlier?" Xu Qingquan said as he took two pastries from the food box on the table and put them in his mouth. While eating, he said, "You know what, this girl's cooking skills are really good."
Zhu Linan's face darkened as he closed the lunch box.
Before closing the door, he quickly grabbed two and put them in his mouth, and remained unmoved no matter how cold Zhu Linan's eyes were.
Xu Qingquan swallowed the cake in his mouth and burped with satisfaction. Then he said, "When did you become smart? You can even tease girls."
Zhu Linan's face was gloomy. "Don't talk nonsense and damage the girl's reputation."
"What did you say?" Xu Qingquan looked at Zhu Linan in disbelief, as if he had heard a joke, and repeated, "You said I was damaging the reputation of that girl?"
"You should wipe the lip balm off your lips first. You're still accusing me of damaging the girl's reputation, but who's actually damaging her reputation? Who's the real one?"
After Xu Qingquan finished speaking, Zhu Linan wiped his mouth, and sure enough, a lot of bright red lip balm came off. He looked down at the lip balm on the back of his hand, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Qingquan looked at his friend who was obviously lost in beautiful memories again and sighed helplessly.
A man who falls in love really has no rationality at all!
Zhu Linan used to be such a restrained and rational person, but now he is lying with lip balm and laughing all the time. It is really terrifying.
A few days later, the case of Yongchang Juefu was solved. It was obvious that the murderer was a master. There were no clues, but the evidence of Yongchang Juefu's guilt was indeed a foregone conclusion.
Similarly, in the face of these evidences, it doesn’t seem to matter who killed Zhu Yuanqi.
Therefore, after the Dali Temple reported the case, the current emperor directly revoked the title of Yongchang Mansion and confiscated half of its assets. He did not exile other people in the mansion, which was already a great favor.
Zhu Linan was promoted personally by the current Saint Shangcang Dongyu, so he naturally would not be implicated, but he would not have the opportunity to be promoted again in a short period of time.
But such a problem is not a big deal for Zhu Linan, after all, he is still young.
The plaque of Yongchangjue Mansion was taken down and the plaque of Zhu Mansion was hung up.
Zhai wanted Zhu Linan to support the family, but Zhu Linan did not give her this opportunity at all. He simply invited all the elders of the Zhu Mansion and divided the family.
This move really hit Zhai in the face. Zhai looked unhappy and started to make a fuss regardless of the presence of the elders. She also cursed Zhu Linan for being unfilial.
Zhu Linan was no pushover, so he just told her everything that had happened over the years, and listed all the things that Zhai had done. But at least he gave her face by writing it down on a piece of paper and handed it directly to Zhai to read.
Zhai's hands were shaking as she held the paper, and she finally agreed to split the family.
At this point, Zhu Linan had his own house in Tiandu City.
The first thing he did after moving into the new house was to ask a matchmaker to go to the Xia family to propose marriage.
