Fu Yalan felt that she’d made a mistake coming with Du Xiaoli, whose bright eyes left all of Fu Yalan’s feelings with nowhere to hide. Du Xiaoli gazed at Fu Yalan until she had no choice but to express her thoughts.


"I don’t really have an opinion on it. Whatever you guys want." Fu Yalan’s face became even redder after saying these words!


"Ha!" Du Xiaoli slapped the table and suddenly called out toward the kitchen that was connected to the dining room: "Gege


, did you hear that? Yalan-jie said she has no opinion on it. Tomorrow, you will go with Father to propose the marriage!"


"What? Your brother’s here?" Fu Yalan was shocked by Du Xiaoli's words and stood up from the stool at once.


"Can't you see there are three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table?" Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "My brother is shy and embarrassed to ask, so I, as the younger sister, decided to help him ask the question."


"Meimei


, you're being mischievous again!" Du Xiuheng emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of dishes in his hand. He was too embarrassed to look at Fu Yalan, so he just scolded Du Xiaoli.


"I’m not being mischievous. I just want Yalan-jiejie to be my sister-in-law soon," Du Xiaoli said with a pout.


"Du-dage


, why are you here?" Fu Yalan looked at Du Xiuheng a little uncomfortably. Had he overheard her conversation with Du Xiaoli?


"My sister said she won 1st place today and asked me to cook two dishes for her to celebrate, so I came over," Du Xiuheng said.


"Enough already. Stop being awkward with each other, you two. Let's hurry up and eat. I'm starving to death," Du Xiaoli said while touching her stomach. "I didn't even eat breakfast this morning to prepare for the competition. I'm so hungry I’m going to be flattened by my hunger soon."


"Well, let's eat then," Du Xiuheng said and sat down at the table.


The three of them just so happened to form a triangle.


Du Xiaoli was in a doubly good mood as she ate her meal. She’d won the contest and finally won a promise from the emperor, as well as Zhao Zhen's 1200 taels of gold. The competition had ended satisfactorily, aside from the poisoning of Bei Lingyu in the middle and the encounter with two groups of assassinations. The thought of getting Du Yunhan and Du Xiuheng to propose the marriage tomorrow made her feel even better!


However, the other two people at the table did not eat with as high a mood as Du Xiaoli. Du Xiuheng and Fu Yalan were both a bit awkward, but the three of them still ate in harmony anyway.


After lunch, Du Xiaoli kicked Du Xiuheng back home and told him to tell Du Yunhan about tomorrow’s marriage proposal. She then dragged Fu Yalan to her bedroom to rest.


Under Du Xiaoli's order and the fact that he wanted the same thing, Du Xiuheng took the initiative to go to Du Yunhan's study for the first time since he returned to the Prime Minister's residence.


"Eldest Young Master," Chang Feng greeted when he saw Du Xiuheng.


"Is my father in there?" Du Xiuheng asked.


"Yes," Changfeng said. "This subordinate will go in and inform Master."


"Okay."


Changfeng went in for a while and soon came back out. He opened the door and said, "Young master, if you please."


Du Xiuheng walked in with some hesitation, and Changfeng closed the door from outside.


The sound of the closing door made Du Xiuheng unconsciously turn his head to take a look around. By chance, his gaze landed right on the painting hanging on the wall.


He’d heard Du Xiaoli say that this painting was their family portrait. However, the Du Xiaoli in the painting was still in her mother's womb, so the painting was a bit odd as a family portrait.


Ever since passing on the matter of evaluating the memorial to the emperor, Du Yunhan felt that he had a lot less to do every day. So when he heard the sound of the door closing, he looked up immediately and saw Du Xiuheng staring at the painting.


"Did you come for something?" Du Yunhan asked.


He didn’t know why it was that he couldn't help but want to dote on Du Xiaoli when he faced her. In fact, he didn't want to see her even a little sad or tired. Yet when he saw Du Xiuheng, he unconsciously put on a stern expression.


Du Xiuheng was still staring dazedly at the portrait of Su Suxin in the painting. Nevertheless, when he heard Du Yunhan's words, he said, "I've come to discuss something with you, Father."


Du Yunhan picked up the tea cup that was on the table and gently sipped from it. Then he said, "What do you want to see me about instead of preparing for the palace banquet later?"


Du Xiuheng walked over to a chair at the side and sat down before replying: "Actually, I didn't want to come to you, but Meimei said this is something that you must make an appearance for and insisted that I come to you today. So, I came over."


"Xiaoli asked you to come to me?" Du Yunhan said. "What is it?"


Once he heard the mention of Du Xiaoli, Du Yunhan's expression instantly eased up quite a bit. The difference between before and after was a little too big, making Du Xiuheng unable to help but roll his eyes inwardly.


"Father, I want to request for your help in proposing my marriage!" Du Xiuheng said.


"Propose your marriage?" Du Yunhan's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering that he had once spoken to Du Xiaoli about this matter.


At that time, he said that if Du Xiuheng achieved good results in the competition, he would help his son propose his marriage. This time, Du Xiuheng managed to achieve a ranking in a competition involving several countries, which was indeed a good achievement. Since Du Yunhan had already made a promise, he felt it would be good to help Du Xiuheng to propose his marriage.


"I'll help you propose the marriage when I'm free in a few days," Du Yunhan said.


"Meimei said for us to go tomorrow," Du Xiuheng stated, bringing Du Xiaoli out for support.


"Tomorrow? Why is it so urgent?" Du Yunhan asked with some surprise.
