Zheng Family was the empress's mother's home, and this Miss Zheng was the empress's niece, her name was Zheng Peiru. The reason why Xie Jingxi noticed the expression in her eyes was probably because she was too focused on him occasionally, and the focus was precisely on Shen Huanzhi.

Shen Huanzhi was born gentle and refined, it was unavoidable for a lady to like him. Xie Jingxi also hoped that he could find a girl to marry as soon as possible, although the Empress's niece was a little more sensitive, and might not necessarily succeed, Xie Jingxi still did not wish for him to be stubborn enough to find a suitable girl.

”I wonder if Shen Dong's family is married, and how old is he?”

A few thick-skinned young mistresses surrounded Shen Huanzhi, asking all sorts of questions, so Shen Huanzhi had no time to worry about Xie Jingxi, and could deal with them all blushing. When he found out that Shen Huanzhi was not even married, everyone started talking at once about marriage, causing Shen Huanzhi to wish that he could burrow into a crack in the ground.

Shen Huanzhi cupped his hands and bowed towards them as he pleaded for mercy, ”Thank you for your blessings, but I'm afraid that the ladies Huanzhi has already fallen in love with are going to let everyone down.

Shen Huanzhi was more tactful, although these young mistresses were a little disappointed, to be able to obtain the flower looks of the Spirit Embroidery Workshop, it was indeed not bad, thus they did not hold him up and discuss the marriage, and instead went to discuss clothes and accessories.

When Zheng Peiru heard that Shen Huanzhi had someone she liked, she could not hide the disappointment in her heart. However, she was still unwilling to give up, so she found an empty spot to chat with Xie Jingxi.

Zheng Peiru had only met Xie Jingxi once or twice before in the palace, so she didn't say anything. Now that they had suddenly gotten closer, Xie Jingxi's intuition told him that she must be here for Shen Huanzhi.

Xie Jingxi nodded to her, ”Miss Zheng is worried.”

Zheng Peiru was a typical noble daughter of a noble family, demure and demure, she was gentle and gentle, and spoke softly, ”I came presumptuously to ask Mrs. Gu a question, I heard that Mrs. Gu and Shen Dong family are old friends, I wonder if the Shen Dong family really likes someone like me?”

Xie Jingxi could not help but feel embarrassed, she was a lady from a noble family, to dare ask for the sake of her heart, she was also very brave. If not for the fact that her identity and position was wrong, Xie Jingxi would be willing to play along, but the so-called Shen Huanzhi being with someone she liked made her feel extremely awkward, making her feel weird.

”To tell Miss Zheng the truth, I don't have much contact with Shen Dong's family, and I've never heard of his lover. It seems like he might be a lady from his hometown.”

Zheng Peiru shyly lowered her head, ”So that's how it is, I was presumptuous of me.” In the eyes of these young ladies, as long as the other party was not married yet, there should be hope. No matter how brave they were, even if they were married, they would not care about their status and would fight for it.

Xie Jingxi could not help but worry for Shen Huanzhi. From the looks of it, Zheng Peiru had truly changed her mind, if in the future she wholeheartedly wanted to marry Shen Huanzhi, it was unknown whether or not she would be in trouble.

Shen Huanzhi greeted outside for a long time, and finally found an opening. When Xie Jingxi was alone, she came over to greet her, ”It's been a long time, have you been well?”

It had only been a year since they met, and now that they had met, things had changed. She had become the young mistress of the Gu family, and he had achieved something in the business world.

”I'm doing quite well. You've changed quite a bit. It seems that your business is doing quite well.”

Of course, he was disappointed that he did not give them to her. However, he also knew that the two of them had an awkward identity, and he did not really expect her to wear the clothes when he sent them over, just like the wedding dress that he sent her. Even though he knew that she would not wear it, he still sent it over with a heart full of anticipation, as though he would entrust his heart to her if he gave it to her.

With the Manager Li helping out with the business, it is indeed a lot of things, after all, people have to improve a little, and they can't stay the same as before.

Being able to see through it was a good thing, Xie Jingxi was happy for him, ”Just now, there was still Miss who asked me about you, although I am not supposed to say it, but I hope that you can find a girl as soon as possible, regardless of whether it is Uncle Shen Shi or the Manager Li, they can rest assured. When you are doing business outside, there must be a family head's wife taking care of you.”

Shen Huanzhi lowered his eyes, ”Mn, I know that you are thinking for my sake, but this kind of thing always depends on fate, something I cannot force myself to do.”

Indeed, he could not force him, so Xie Jingxi did not speak anymore, and left after saying a few words that were not important, Shen Huanzhi gazed at her back for a long time, and was not willing to leave.

At this time, the Manager Li walked over and whispered into Shen Huanzhi's ears: ”Boss, there's a message from the south side saying something had happened on the water. All the checkpoints have been blocked, so it could be the imperial government's boat.”
