Chapter 60 Lord He should consider starting a family.

Chapter Sixty: Lord He should consider starting a family.

Shen Tang's intuition was surprisingly accurate. As soon as she stepped into the private room of Yuzhuxuan, she recognized the person standing by the window as the woman who had been with He Jinzhou that day.

As soon as Jiang Yingxue saw her arrive, she gave her a friendly smile and said, "Miss Chen, please have a seat."

Shen Tang sat down on the stool as instructed.

Jiang Yingxue quickly poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry for calling you out so suddenly. I hope it didn't offend you."

Shen Tang took a sip of tea and shook her head: "No, may I ask what business Miss Jiang has with me?"

Jiang Yingxue did not answer her question, but stared at her intently.

A moment later, Jiang Yingxue suddenly slumped onto the table, looking somewhat defeated and sad: "Miss Chen, you are so beautiful."

She dressed up beautifully early this morning, but when she actually stood in front of Shen Tang, she was still no match for her at all.

How could she possibly win over He Jinzhou? Jiang Yingxue felt a pang of sadness.

Seeing her childlike actions, Shen Tang couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss Jiang, you are very beautiful too."

Jiang Yingxue listened but didn't say anything, just lay on the table, looking somewhat sad. Shen Tang wasn't familiar with her and didn't know what to say, so the two fell silent.

After a moment, Jiang Yingxue spoke somewhat nervously: "Miss Chen, I came to see you today to ask for your advice on how to win over He Jinzhou."

“I’ve been pursuing him for a long time, but I haven’t made any progress. He’s always polite to me, but not very friendly.”

"I don't know what to do."

Shen Tang hadn't expected this, but it seemed there was no question of whether or not she was pursuing He Jinzhou; their relationship just naturally progressed.

As for the method, she really didn't know.

Shen Tang could only say to her somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I probably can't help you with this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue immediately felt a little disappointed.

But she immediately perked up: "Miss Chen, thank you again for coming to see me today."

"Actually, what I really wanted to see was what the woman He Jinzhou liked looked like. After seeing her today, I realize that I am no match for you, but my feelings for him are genuine."

"I believe that as long as I treat him sincerely, one day he will be moved by my sincerity and fall in love with me."

The girl before him was sincere and passionate. Looking at her, Shen Tang felt as if he were seeing his former self.

However, He Jinzhou and Meng Huaiyan are different after all. Perhaps there will come a day when He Jinzhou will fall in love with the girl in front of him.

He Jinzhou is truly a wonderful person; he deserves the best and most sincere love in the world.

She also desperately hoped that he could find his own happiness soon.

Shen Tang was moved and sincerely said to Jiang Yingxue, "Then I wish Miss Jiang all the best in getting what she wants soon."

"I also hope that Miss Jiang can treat him better."

Jiang Yingxue clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling, and said firmly to Shen Tang, "Miss Shen, I will!"

My boss is in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the Censorate has been very tense these past few days.

The officials were so careful with their breathing that they were afraid of accidentally catching Meng Huaiyan's eye.

However, today, the officials clearly sensed that Meng Huaiyan was in a very good mood.

An official accidentally made a mistake. In the past, he would have been severely criticized by Meng Huaiyan with a cold face.

Today, however, he simply gave him a cold look and sent the document back for revision.

A sharp-eyed official noticed that Meng Huaiyan suddenly had a dark blue pouch embroidered with orchids on his waist today.

That embroidery skill is probably better than any ordinary embroiderer on the street.

Given Meng Huaiyan's status and wealth, his clothing and food were always exquisite, so the appearance of such a crude purse on him seemed somewhat incongruous.

The fact that he values ​​it so much suggests that it must have been a gift from someone he highly regards.

The official's mind raced, and he tentatively offered a flattering remark: "Lord Meng, I find your new purse quite pleasing to the eye."

Upon hearing this, Meng Huaiyan couldn't help but smile slightly: "My wife made it for me."

When the official saw Meng Huaiyan smile, he was overjoyed. This flattery had really hit the mark. He quickly added, "Lord Meng and your wife have such a good relationship. I am very envious."

Meng Huaiyan said "Not at all," but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was in a very good mood because of the compliments.

Seeing this scene, the other officials couldn't resist this rare opportunity to curry favor with their superior, and they all stepped forward to praise him.

Meng Huaiyan accepted their praise one by one, and then said to them, "After you finish your shift today, you can go to Juxianlou for a gathering. Just mention my name and put it on my tab."

The officials were excited and quickly agreed, all praying in their hearts that the relationship between Meng Huaiyan and his wife would remain so harmonious every day, so that their lives would continue to be so good.

After finishing his shift today, Meng Huaiyan did not go home immediately, but waited for He Jinzhou on the road he would inevitably pass after finishing his shift.

As soon as He Jinzhou stepped out of the government office, he saw Meng Huaiyan waiting outside. He bowed and greeted him, "Lord Meng."

As soon as Meng Huaiyan saw him, she deliberately held the purse in her hand, as if afraid that He Jinzhou would not see it.

"Last time I mentioned that I liked Lord He's purse, and Lord He said he forgot where he bought it. But I was very lucky and actually found the shop. So I came here today to tell Lord He this good news."

When He Jinzhou saw the familiar embroidery on the purse, his expression froze for a moment.

Suddenly, the image of Shen Tang from two days ago flashed into his mind. He lowered his eyes, concealing the pain in them, and said to Meng Huaiyan.

"Since Lord Meng is so fortunate to have obtained something he likes, he should cherish it and not let it go to waste."

"I will naturally cherish it, so there's no need for Lord He to worry about it."

Meng Huaiyan gave He Jinzhou a cold look: "But I would also like to advise Lord He to always remember his status and not overstep his bounds."

It seems that Meng Huaiyan found out about his meeting with Shen Tang a couple of days ago, which led to this whole situation today.

He had only exchanged a simple greeting with Shen Tang that day, and he believed he had not overstepped any boundaries. He never expected that Meng Huaiyan would be so bothered by this.

He Jinzhou couldn't help but worry again, wondering if he had caused trouble for Shen Tang. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been able to resist going up to talk to her that day.

He Jinzhou bowed to Meng Huaiyan and said, "This humble official will keep in mind Lord Meng's teachings. If there is nothing else, Lord Meng, this humble official will take his leave."

He Jinzhou was about to turn and leave when Meng Huaiyan called out to him.

"Lord He is not young anymore, and it is time for him to consider settling down. I heard that your teacher intends to betroth his daughter to you, and I think it is a good match. What do you think, Lord He?"

He Jinzhou stiffened and said to Meng Huaiyan, "There is no such thing. A young woman's innocence is of utmost importance. Please, Lord Meng, do not believe the rumors."

"As for getting married, that is my private matter, so I won't trouble you, Lord Meng. I'll take my leave now."

Meng Huaiyan raised an eyebrow, watching He Jinzhou's departing figure, a dark tide surging in his eyes.
