The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 51 See How Sincerely You Are

Meng Tingzhou took in her expression: "Why? Do you dislike other people's things?"

"See what it is?"

Meng Tingzhou waved his hand, motioning her to come closer.

Jiang Shiwan leaned forward, her hair brushing against his cheek, which was very tempting.

"I have a copy of Liu Huining's calligraphy. Are you interested?"

"real or fake?"

"Want it?"

Looking at his meaningful eyes, Jiang Shiwan calmed down and asked, "What are your conditions?"

"What conditions can I have? It all depends on your sincerity."

The look in his eyes when he said this reminded Jiang Shiwan of the rainy day when they first met. He said the same thing to himself.

"Miss Jiang, you want something from me, and you ask me what conditions I have? What conditions can I have? It just depends on your sincerity."

Memories of the past made her realize that after going around in circles, she had never been able to get out of his circle.

She sneered: "Yes, how can I be sincere? I am grateful for the governor's kindness. I just have a young body."

"But can Dr. Mei continue to give me the contraceptive soup?"

She looked at Ah You who was babbling in her arms and said, "You promised me that you would let me handle the Jiang family's affairs after the baby was born."

"That's great." Meng Tingzhou put his arm around her waist. "If you had told me earlier, I would have agreed."

"But you shouldn't have hidden it from me. I hate it most when people hide things from me."

Once things are beyond his control, he will hate it.

Jiang Shiwan nodded: "I want to get my father's interrogation report from the Dali Temple. Can you help me get it?"

Meng Tingzhou knew that she wanted to verify the annotations on the testimony based on the calligraphy to see if they were written by Liu Huining.

The hand around her waist suddenly tightened.

"Then you must be a good wife to me? Only by attracting Liu Huining's attention can I get more information about her."

When Meng Tingzhou held Ayou and appeared in front of everyone side by side with Jiang Shiwan, the scene was quiet for a while.

Everyone was complaining in their hearts.

"Didn't I hear that the Jiang family is no longer favored?"

"I just went outing with Miss Liu two days ago. How come it looks like... the two of you are more affectionate than before?"

"It must be said that the governor and his wife look like a perfect match standing together."

"..."

Meng Tingzhou whispered in Jiang Shiwan's ear: "You seem to be particularly eye-catching today."

"These people may just be wondering why you and I appear at the same time."

Jiang Shiwan saw that all the blood had disappeared from Liu Huining's face, leaving him as pale as paper.

She certainly could not accept that the man who had gone outing with her two days ago was now being so intimate with another woman and accepting greetings from others.

Liu Huining claimed to be the one and only noble lady in the capital. Wherever she went, she was treated like a star. Even though the emperor ordered her to marry Meng Tingzhou as a co-wife, she firmly believed that she was more than just a "co-wife."

But now, in public, those ladies from noble families who had just flattered her were all looking at her with inquiring eyes.

She couldn't tolerate the playful look in his eyes.

It's a disgrace.

Besides her, Shen Yunxiang was also quite disdainful.

"Look at Jiang Shiwan's alluring eyes. I wonder how she managed to make the governor so infatuated again."

She took Liu Huining's arm and said, "But sister is different. You are the most famous talented woman in the capital. I heard from grandfather that you can imitate the original works of several famous masters, and you are quite elegant." "Time will tell a person's true character. One day, the governor will definitely feel who is the most suitable to be the governor's wife."

Shen Yunxiang has always been a spoiled and arrogant young lady, but as the Duke's Mansion gradually declines, she has grown her brain and started to understand people's hearts.

Liu Huining nodded at her, and then there was a sound of gongs and drums.

Because Lu Jin had lived in the Lu Mansion since he was a child, he missed the step of going to the bride's house to pick her up. Lu Zheng got married from her boudoir, and then walked a full circle around the Lu Mansion along the previously set route.

He specifically asked Lu Jin to cover her head with a red gauze veil so that she could be seen.

Every place they passed was a place where interesting or meaningful things happened to them when they were young.

Lu Jin couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes: "What should I do? My makeup is all ruined. It looks so ugly."

Lu Zheng held her hand and said, "You will be covered with a red veil later, and no one can see you."

"But you will see it." Lu Jin cried, "You are so mean for not telling me in advance."

"You're telling me there's a surprise? Besides, we've been together since we were little, so I've seen all the ugly looks of you."

Lu Jin widened his eyes.

Lu Zheng begged for mercy: "Alright, alright, I'm the bride today, don't get angry."

He was really doting on Lu Jin.

When the wedding procession arrived at the main hall, it was exactly the auspicious time.

Lu Jin, supported by his attendants and Lu Zheng, walked to the platform and performed etiquette such as bowing and kneeling.

Although the two did not speak, it was obvious that Lu Zheng had almost anticipated the situation that might arise and promptly protected Lu Jin from any inconvenience.

Jiang Shiwan knew that Lu Jin had found a worthy partner, and said sincerely, "That's great."

Her voice was very soft, but it fell clearly into Meng Tingzhou's ears.

He looked at her, with a rare softness on his face.

After sending Lu Jin to the bridal chamber, Lu Zheng came out again to toast and thank the guests.

"Thank you all for your kindness. On this happy day, I, Lu, refuse any wedding gifts. I only hope that each guest can write a few words of congratulations to my husband and me."

After saying that, Lu Zheng clapped his hands, and then eight servants came over carrying a huge red-bottomed frame three meters high.

This was the first time that the host declined a wedding gift and asked the guest to write an inscription, which surprised everyone.

Meng Tingzhou, who was the most important person in the room, looked at him sideways: "According to the governor..."

Meng Tingzhou stood up from his desk and laughed, "Since Patriarch Lu is so thoughtful, we will naturally not refuse."

He considerately helped Jiang Shiwan to stand up and said softly, "Let you and I be the first to write an inscription to congratulate the newlyweds."

Meng Tingzhou took the pen and ink handed to him by the attendant, thought for a moment, and then wrote down the four big characters "Qian Kun Ding Zou" in a swift and smooth manner.

Then he dipped the tip of the pen into ink and handed it to Jiang Shiwan: "It's your turn."

Jiang Shiwan wrote smoothly and smoothly, leaving "琴耽瑟好" beside the words he wrote.

In order to match Meng Tingzhou's handwriting, she rarely wrote Master Boshan's cursive script, with her brush strokes flowing like a flying dragon.

Meng Tingzhou saw that she usually wrote small regular script. This was the first time he saw her cursive script. His eyes were full of praise: "I didn't expect that Madam usually hides her talent."

Jiang Shiwan handed the pen to the attendant: "My father doesn't like me to show off in public."

Meng Tingzhou held her hand and said, "I don't like it either. I just know your good points."

Knowing that he was playing a trick on her, Jiang Shiwan picked up the handkerchief and gently hid her smile.

This scene once again hurt Liu Huining's eyes.

Lu Zheng looked around the scene and then set his eyes on Liu Huining's face: "I heard that Miss Liu is very talented and wise. I wonder if I have the honor to see her today?"
