Chapter 59.2 - Admirer
"I am afraid that I will have to ask w.a.n.g ye to step forward for this one." An Zi Ran looked at Fu Wu Tian.
………
The three people returned to the An family house.
Fu Wu Tian was preparing to go to An Zi Ran"s study to write a letter to Fu lao w.a.n.g ye. His trusted aide did not have enough status before the Chong Ming Emperor, so this matter must be done by Fu lao w.a.n.g ye personally to settle it.

But when they arrived at the great hall, they heard raucous sounds coming from within. Before they could go in and check it out a fat man fell out of the great hall. The fat man"s balance wasn"t very good. Before he could steady himself on his feet, he rolled down the steps and came to a stop right in front of An Zi Ran. The fat man"s anguished wailing sounded like a dying pig. A small servant boy cried "Young Master," and hurriedly rushed over to help the fat man.
An Ke Xin appeared at the top of the steps, shouting abuse, "You, the one with the surname Lin, why don"t you go look in a mirror? You want to take me, An Ke Xin, as your wife, with a pig face like yours? Dream on. Even if I die I won"t marry… An Zi Ran?"
When she saw An Zi Ran standing at the bottom of the steps, she was so surprised that she switched the word "you" with his name. She even called out his full name.
Hearing the noise, Zheng Bi also came out. Seeing An Zi Ran"s quiet face, her heart thudded and she hurried down. With a brilliant smile she said, "So Zi Ran came back. Today, what…"
"What is this?"
An Zi Ran indifferently interrupted her words. He looked sharply at An Ke Xin and then his gaze fell upon Zheng Bi. Both of them jumped.
Zheng Bi revealed a stiff smile. "Zi Ran, don"t misunderstand. It"s this person, he wants to marry Ke Xin no matter what, but Ke Xin thinks he does not measure up. He shamelessly refused to leave. Ke Xin only chased him out because she got angry."
An Ke Xin noticed An Zi Ran"s eyes on her and immediately raised her chin proudly. Her ambition was to marry a big official and become the lady of a government official. A merchant in the district wanted to marry her. Wasn"t he only dreaming? She didn"t feel that she did anything wrong.

An Zi Ran coldly said, "No matter the reason you shouldn"t kick people out. You weren"t taught to be rude. Immediately apologize to Lin gong zi."
An Ke Xin grinded her teeth together. "I didn"t do anything wrong. I won"t apologize."
With the help of his servant boy, the fat man stood back up. His name was Lin Xin. He was the son of a wealthy businessman in Tong Tai County, which was next to An Yuan County. His figure was very fat. He fell in love with An Ke Xin at first sight and originally wanted to come propose marriage to An Chang Fu. But then he found out that An Chang Fu and his wife both died in an accident, so this matter was delayed, but he never gave up on his notions of marriage.
Lin Xin turned and smiled at An Zi Ran. "This must be the young landlord of the An family. My name is Lin Xin. My family is in Tong Tai County. I have heard about the young landlord all along. Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well deserved."
An Zi Ran looked him up and down. This was the sole son of the Lin family in Tong Tai County. Although he was fat, he was a polite person. His upbringing was not bad.
"Lin gong zi, you flatter me."
Lin Xin smiled and said, "Young Landlord, I really like your younger sister. I hope to receive her into the Lin family (as my wife). I will definitely not mistreat her. I hope the young landlord will agree (to my wishes)."
"Dream on!"
As soon as he finished talking, An Ke Xin interjected. Her screech was really loud.
Lin Xin"s face did not change. His smile was very sincere.
An Zi Ran looked back and forth between the two, and finally settled on the angry and reluctant face of An Ke Xin. He suddenly said, "It is true that the age of marriage is reached."
One sentence suddenly changed the faces on the mother-daughter pair.
"Ah Ah Ah!!! I won"t marry. Even if I die I won"t marry Lin Xin, this disgusting man." An Ke Xin screamed like a madwoman, then she turned and ran away.
The expression on Zheng Bi"s face was really ugly. "Zi Ran, Ke Xin is still young. There is no need to rush her marriage, and as you can see, she is not willing."
An Zi Ran calmly said, "The eldest brother is like the father!"
Zheng Bi listened to his words and knew that he had made up his mind. She could no longer control the expression on her face. Her voice grew loud. "An Zi Ran, don"t forget that you already married someone. You are no longer a member of the An family*. My daughter does not want to marry. n.o.body can force her."
Throwing down this sentence like a gauntlet, Zheng Bi also left.
Lin Xin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly excused himself and escaped the scene.
