After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

After the banquet at the Wu residence, two people became famous in the aristocratic circles of Danzhou Prefecture.

Wu Xin was the first to be affected.

She was already a celebrity in the Danzhou aristocratic circle, renowned for her knowledge, elegance, grace, and gentle beauty. Her refined speech and proper manners were once considered the epitome of a noblewoman. She was also the object of many marriage proposals from prominent families.

But after this banquet, her image as a noble lady vanished, and the Wu family even became a laughing stock in the elite circles.

Wu Songping was furious and immediately sent her to a nunnery outside the Wu family compound and locked her up, as if he had no daughter at all.

Another person who gained widespread fame was Gan Cai'er. Her arrogant and domineering behavior was vividly described and spread far and wide.

As popular as Lantingzhou is, so is she.

Now, anyone who knows Lan Tingzhou knows that he has a tigress at home, but along with Gan Cai'er's fierce reputation, her beauty is also widely known.

People say that Lan Tingzhou was able to completely control Gan Cai'er because Gan Cai'er was too glamorous.

"Miss, you have no idea how outrageous the rumors about you are going around!" Xiao Hong said indignantly.

Gan Cai'er glanced at her amusedly, and said nonchalantly, "No matter how outrageous it is, can it be as outrageous as the Black Bear Spirit's last time? Besides, didn't you even praise my beauty this time?"

Gan Cai'er glanced at herself in the bronze mirror and seemed quite satisfied.

"They're practically saying you're a reincarnated fox spirit, here to bring misfortune to your son-in-law," Xiao Hong pouted, feeling quite annoyed.

"You should have taken me with you that day. Green Leaf is so inexperienced. If I had been there, I would have prevented you from being ambushed."

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely take you with me next time I need something," Gan Cai'er soothed gently.

"By the way, where's Xiao Xiao? I haven't seen her today."

"Miss Zhu left early this morning. Huan'er said she seems to have made an appointment with Young Master Wei," Xiao Hong replied.

"She went to see Wei Shi'an?" Gan Cai'er touched her chin, sensing something was amiss.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever Zhu Xiaoxiao did something behind her back, there was usually something going on.

Actually, Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't tell Gan Cai'er that she went to see Wei Shi'an because she was afraid Gan Cai'er would overthink things.

Ever since Gan Cai'er revealed her story of being reborn, she no longer kept it a secret and would frequently promote Wei Shi'an to her, saying how reliable he was and how promising his future would be.

If Gan Cai'er knew that she went to meet Wei Shi'an, she would nag her to death.

She simply wanted to thank Wei Shi'an for saving her life that day.

But clearly, Wei Shi'an didn't think that way.

Inside the Tianxiang Restaurant, Wei Shi'an and Zhu Xiaoxiao sat facing each other. He sat upright, his eyes fixed on the wine glass in front of him, without uttering a word.

"Thank you for your help the other day, young master. This cup of wine is a small token of my appreciation." Zhu Xiaoxiao poured two cups of wine and raised one to Wei Shi'an.

Wei Shi'an took the wine and quickly drank it all in one gulp.

Then, he put down his glass and fell silent.

His behavior made Zhu Xiaoxiao very nervous.

"May I ask where Zhu Xiaoxiao lives? How many people are in her family?" Wei Shi'an suddenly asked.

This question left Zhu Xiaoxiao stunned.

"Why does Young Master Wei ask this?"

"I...I'll come to your door to propose marriage." Wei Shi'an's face turned bright red.

"what?!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned! She stared at Wei Shi'an as if she were dumbfounded.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She felt like she was hallucinating. They'd barely met a few times, and now this man was saying he wanted to marry her?

"I...I...I hugged you, I have to take responsibility." Wei Shi'an said with a serious expression.

"No, you've already held Huan'er, so does that mean you're going to marry Huan'er too?"

"No, I didn't hug her. I carried her by the arm." Wei Shi'an kept his eyes fixed on the wine glass, but his ears were burning red.

"I've only ever hugged you, no one else."

Zhu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

As she watched Wei Shi'an's face grow increasingly red, she couldn't help but clench her toes, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Young Master Wei, did you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar?" Huan'er asked from the side.

"Admitted."

“My husband said that no one who is not a scholar can be my son-in-law.”

"Huan'er!" Zhu Xiaoxiao was extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

Wei Shi'an suddenly stood up, and in his haste, he also overturned a chair next to him.

"Then, I'll come to propose marriage tomorrow!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.

"Young Master Wei, my family is the Zhu family in Shili Pu, Qingshui Town. Don't go to the wrong place." Huan'er crisply gave the address to Wei Shi'an's back.

"Huan'er, shut up!" Zhu Xiaoxiao pounced on Huan'er and tried to tickle her.

Huan'er turned away, giggling.

"Miss, Young Master Wei may be a bit dull, but don't you think he's quite adorable?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing, picked up the wine on the table, took a sip, and her face flushed slightly.

Well, actually, she thinks it's not entirely unacceptable.
