He remembered that she liked to eat sugar biscuits.

Since that's the case, he'll buy a few boxes after the sale.

Shen Xing was called away by Old Madam Shen, so he did not stay any longer.

But when the long silence finally dissipated, Aunt Fang was already waiting with the portrait in hand.

"Young Master! The Old Madam asked me to tell you that Miss Meng is waiting for you at Hecui Tower."

"Miss Meng?"

Shen Changji reached out and took Aunt Fang's sketchbook, glanced at it, and then fixed his gaze on a pair of eyes.

Aunt Fang, being a woman of the inner quarters, was perceptive and could read people's expressions. She immediately noticed that her young master was interested in this Miss Meng!

She couldn't help but think of yesterday, when Su Miao's gaze was also fixed on those eyes when she saw the portrait.

Although she didn't say anything, she hinted that Shen Changji would be interested in Miss Meng.

It seems that it's pretty much the same now.

"My cousin also said that Miss Meng is wonderful! If she hadn't said that you, the eldest young master, would be interested, the old lady wouldn't have been in such a hurry to let you two meet!"

"She said that?"

Shen Changji frowned and put the painting back.

"Yes! My cousin also said that Miss Meng is well-educated and virtuous, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is also well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a gentle personality. She is a perfect match for the eldest young master! She is simply the epitome of a mistress!"

He let out a long, cold sneer.

What a heartless person, already "considering" his needs so quickly.

Where is she now?

"It seems they went out to buy rouge and face powder."

"I understand. Go back and report to your grandmother that I will be coming."

"Great!" Aunt Fang's face instantly lit up with joy.

This is great news!

After Aunt Fang left, the long silence summoned the lone eagle.

"Go and prepare the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the Four Books and Five Classics, and then send them to my private residence," Shen Changji instructed in a deep voice.

Since she thinks that Miss Meng is so good, knows so many things, and is a model of a mistress.

So he taught her these things himself!

So that she won't have to envy others, think that others are better, or think that others are a good match for him!

After Shen Changji finished giving his instructions, he was about to return to his residence when a messenger reported that it concerned Liu Jiaojiao, so he had no choice but to go back instead.

...

Su Miao only wanted to buy some things, but who knew that the coachman would take her directly to the secluded private residence of Chen Changji!

She was so angry that she turned around and wanted to leave.

But just then, Shen Changji returned.

"Where are you going? Don't you want to know anything about Liu Jiaojiao anymore?"

Upon hearing Liu Jiaojiao's name, Su Miao's feet froze instantly.

"How is she?!"

"We've caught him," Shen Changji said indifferently.
