Qin Kaize explained, "Uncle Xia refused a marriage proposal from a prominent family in Jingdu City. The woman involved made a fuss for five or six years. Eventually, she married someone less desirable, but she held a grudge, and her family used their influence to keep him stuck in this position."

How intense!
Despite being suppressed by a powerful family in Jingdu City, Uncle Xia had managed to avoid major trouble and rise to his current position. This showed he was quite capable, not just a pushover as she had initially thought.
"Did the influential families in Jingdu City make any moves against Uncle Xia's recent promotion?" Su Yijia asked curiously.

The higher-ups wouldn't allow them to interfere with such an important matter," Qin Kaize said, reaching out to gently pat her head, seeing her looking a bit too cautious.
