1. Zhu Linan and Xia Mingxuan
Zhu Linan may be promoted.
When Xia Mingxuan received the news, he was making the latest snacks in the kitchen.
Ever since she knew that Zhu Linan liked the snacks she made, Xia Mingxuan would make them every few days, and never twice.
After doing it so many times, Edai got a little tired of it.
I’m tired of making it, tired of eating it, and tired of seeing it, but I don’t know if Zhu Linan is tired of eating it.
Xia Mingxuan was sincerely happy to hear the news of Zhu Linan's promotion.
But the little maid Edai beside her was a little unhappy. She whispered, "Miss, look how long it's been, and Master Zhu hasn't come to propose marriage yet. I heard today that Grandpa and Madam have started arranging a marriage for you again."
Xia Mingxuan packed the last plate of snacks and handed it to Edai, "Send someone to deliver this plate of snacks to Xia Mingxu."
"Okay... Ai?" Edai paused, "Is this for you, Master?"
"Yes." Xia Mingxuan nodded, "Just do as I say."
When Edai came back after making arrangements, she saw Xia Mingxuan placing the hairpin on her head and gesturing. He said casually, "Your girl is even more impatient than me. If there is a suitable one, let's wait and see. Then I will see if there are any young talents. If one of them is right for me, I will get married. Then I will see who is impatient in the end."
E Dai had been with Xia Mingxuan for some years, so she naturally understood what Xia Mingxuan was thinking. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but smile, "Miss, you're still joking now, you don't know how to be anxious."
Xia Mingxuan smiled and said, "There's no other way to stop joking. After all, we can't rush this matter. Do you think a girl like me can urge him to propose marriage?"
Edai sighed helplessly, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After all, a lot had happened in Tiandu during this period. First, the eldest princess appeared in Tiandu, the regent was poisoned, and then there was a coup in Tiandu Palace, Qi Ye was executed, and the entire court was completely changed. Even Xia Mingxuan's father, Xia Mingyuan, was promoted and is now a third-rank official.
Zhu Linan was an important official in the court and was deeply loved by Cang Dongyu, so he was naturally very busy every day. Xia Mingxuan only found out later that Zhu Linan had actually been the eldest princess's man, that is, Sang Yu's man.
Zhu Linan has also been having a headache recently.
The Yongchangjue Mansion was gone, and most of the property was confiscated, but Zhu Linan was the only one who was safe. Therefore, Mrs. Zhu suspected that Zhu Linan was the one who interfered. Not only did she push all the blame on Zhu Linan, but she also felt that everything that happened in the mansion was done by Zhu Linan secretly, so she had been secretly making arrangements and hating Zhu Linan.
Zhu Linan had long been fed up with everything in the mansion that had nothing to do with him. Under the pressure of Mrs. Zhu, he simply invited all the elders of the family to come and divide the family on his own.
The news that Zhu Linan wanted to divide the family once again made Mrs. Zhu furious. After all, Zhu Linan was the most promising man in the entire prefecture and state, so she naturally didn't want Zhu Linan to be divided.
If Zhu Linan really divided the property, the Zhu family would be completely finished.
But in front of the clan elders, everything that Madam Zhu had done to Zhu Linan was listed clearly, and there was nothing Madam Zhu could do even if she disagreed.
So after many twists and turns, Zhu Linan finally split up the family.
After the family split up, Zhu Linan used all his money to buy a small house with only two entrances and one exit.
This was all the money Zhu Linan could come up with.
All his previous salary was paid to the government office, and now he only received a small portion of it in order to divide the family.
He looked at this small house and really didn't know how to propose marriage. He could only inadvertently gain favor with Xia Mingyuan in the court.
Seeing that the other party had a much better impression of him, he didn't expect to catch up with the palace coup. Zhu Linan was very busy. Afterwards, he was busy selecting officials in the court and had no time to propose marriage. When she came back to her senses in the court, she had heard the news that Xia Mingxuan was looking for a marriage partner. He was so angry that his blood boiled and he almost died!
Without time to think about it, Zhu Linan immediately rushed to the place his subordinates said. Sure enough, he saw Xia Mingxuan sitting opposite a man in the private room upstairs. They were talking and laughing, and looked very happy.
He was so angry that he rushed in without thinking, grabbed Xia Mingxuan's wrist, blocked her behind him, and stared at the man opposite fiercely. His eyes seemed to want to eat the man in front of him.
Xia Mingxuan was also shocked by this sudden change and did not expect Zhu Linan at all.
Where did he come from?
Suddenly this happened.
"What are you doing? Zhu Linan?" Xia Mingxuan asked with a subconscious sigh of relief when he saw it was Zhu Linan.
"What else do I want to ask you?" Zhu Linan said with a cold face.
When Xia Mingxuan saw his eyes, he immediately understood everything.
She quickly broke free from Zhu Linan's grip and soothed him, "Listen to my explanation..."
"Don't talk!"
But before Xia Mingxuan could finish his words, his hand, which had just been freed, was grabbed back.
Zhu Linan looked at the man opposite him again and said viciously, "She's already engaged, so please go back!"
The man opposite was very handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, turning it back and forth. Seeing Zhu Linan's anxious look, he smiled and said, "I've heard that Zhu Linan, the Dali Temple Chief Justice, is a fair and impartial person. Not only is he handsome, he is also the close friend of the young ladies in Tiandu. However, because he is too unkind, he is despised by the young ladies."
