Another, who had never even met Dong Changyuan, called him “Cousin Changyuan” as if it was proper to get even closer by marriage!

Bai Jinxiu was too well-mannered to sneer at those two girls.

This year, there had been a civil examination scandal. Although the results were yet to be officially announced, word had quietly spread about who would rank in the top three.

Currently, Minister Chen’s grandson, Chen Zhaolu, Prime Minister Lu’s grandson, Lu Yuanqing, and the son of Dong Qingyue, Governor of Dengzhou, Dong Changyuan, were the most sought-after candidates among noble girls.

Since the threshold of Minister Chen’s and Prime Minister Lu’s homes were too high, the two girls set their sights on Dong Changyuan.
