Shen Lian quickly averted his gaze, not wanting to lose his composure, and said to Lin Bufan, "I'm glad you like it, Young Master Lin."
"I love it, I really love it."
Lin Bufan looked Zhou Miaotong up and down, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.
After doing her job, Zhou Miaotong began to dance gracefully in front of them. Her beautiful dance moves, combined with her fairy-like and pitiful temperament, captivated Lin Bufan and the others.
After some time, and as their enthusiasm waned, they began to chat casually.
Through the explanations of Shen Lian and the other two, Lin Bufan gained an understanding of the new landscape of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Liu, the God of Catchers of the Six Doors, died, and Guo, the Hero, succeeded him as the new God of Catchers.
Who is Guo Juxia?
The father of Guo Furong, the waiter at Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town.
Guo Juxia, a new official, made three bold moves upon taking office, the first of which was to take down Ji Yaohua, a spy from the Six Doors.
On the Eastern Depot side, Wei Zhongxian died, Cao Zhengchun died, and most of the top experts died.
After much deliberation, Zhu Houzhao finally chose Liu Xi to be the new director of the Eastern Depot, and Zhao Jingzhong to be the chief of staff.
The Western Depot suffered no major losses, and Yu Huatian remained in high spirits, still firmly seated in his position as supervisor.
The same applies to the Divine Marquis's Mansion; Zhuge Zhengwo remains as steady as Mount Tai.
Although Zhu Wushi's crimes were unforgivable, he was already dead.
Zhu Houzhao was unusually magnanimous and did not abolish the Protectorate Manor, allowing Duan Tianya to replace Zhu Wushi in his previous position.
What a brilliant move to win over the hearts of the people! The entire court was filled with shouts of "Your Majesty is benevolent! Long live the Emperor!"
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, it got dark, and the group was all slightly tipsy.
Zhou Miaotong had stopped dancing and was sitting opposite her, playing the zither.
Lin Bufan, slightly drunk, squinted at her and asked with a sly smile, "This young master is drunk and has difficulty walking. I wonder if Miss Zhou would be willing to help this young master to his room to rest?"
Zhou Miaotong gazed at Lin Bufan with her beautiful eyes, then turned to look at Chen Lian, and slowly said, "Young Master Lin, if you redeem me and take me away from Nuanxiang Pavilion, I am willing to follow you and serve you for the rest of my life."
"No way!" Shen Lian, who was seven-tenths drunk, suddenly raised his drooping head and shouted, "Miss Zhou, I asked you to dance for Young Master Lin, I didn't say you had to go with him!"
Zhou Miaotong retorted to Shen Lian: "If I don't go with Young Master Lin, am I supposed to go with you? Lord Shen, I know your intentions, but I will always remember that it was you who led more than a dozen Imperial Guards to raid our house back then."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lian sobered up considerably, feeling utterly hopeless.
Despite his unwavering devotion over the years, he still couldn't dispel the hatred in her heart.
Inviting Young Master Lin to dinner turned into giving your sweetheart to Young Master Lin... what kind of situation is this?
