After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 268 The Perfect Candidate for a DINK (Double Income No Kids) Family

After winning over the secretary with his fine wine, the junior secretary continued to seek out his more approachable colleagues one by one.

The next book in the series, "The Overbearing Prince's Charming Little Princess," will be released tomorrow.

Zhang Sheren would also start choosing tonight whether to add romantic scenes for the prince or the heir apparent.

In short, Zhang Sheren had absolutely no morals.

The secretary, grumbling and cursing, found another person.

This person was a Grand Master of the Palace, a civil official, but his surname was Lu.

Going back through their ancestors, they assisted many emperors and empresses during the chaotic times, making them a long-standing and distinguished family.

However, the aristocratic families had already been largely suppressed in the previous dynasty, and under the old emperor, very few people took them seriously.

However, those scions of noble families did not think so. Although they had toned down their behavior considerably compared to the past, the arrogance ingrained in their bones was hard to erase.

"Dr. Lu, I don't know..."

The Grand Master of Ceremonies tilted his head back and snorted coldly.

"Only you people would have such a trivial and unseemly interest in such trivial matters."

The Junior Secretary didn't tolerate the other party's behavior: "This is His Majesty's study."

A hint of surprise flashed across the Grand Physician's eyes, and he was speechless.

Feeling relieved, the junior secretary simply ignored the man and continued his search.

[Ouch, we've crashed!]

An excited voice suddenly appeared in everyone's minds.

The officials and civil servants subtly looked around, trying to figure out where Shen Zhiyi had hidden herself.

To truly enjoy the gossip, you have to be right next to the person who posted it; that seems to make it even more enjoyable.

However, what the junior secretary was more concerned about was who was going to run into whom.

Soon, he no longer had this doubt.

Looking up, I saw the Princess of Penglai, who was fully armed from head to toe.

He appeared respectful, but inwardly he sneered.

"I never expected the county princess to come to a place with so many men."

The Princess of Penglai County also retorted without hesitation.

"I never expected that the junior supervisor would come to this place full of women."

[Hahaha, before I finished my shift today, I made a special effort to cram in the past of Princess Penglai and the Junior Secretary. One of them isn't afraid of men at all, and the other isn't afraid of women at all.]

The system was puzzled.

Why would these two tell this lie? Did they actually already have feelings for each other and just found a flimsy excuse to get married?

The Princess of Penglai and the Junior Secretary exchanged a glance.

The next second, his eyes were full of disgust.

The two said in unison, "You really have no taste!"

Both men were taken aback at first, then flew into a rage.

Princess Penglai: "How dare you say my childhood sweetheart has no taste?"

Junior Secretary: "How dare you say my marriage of convenience that blossomed into love was tasteless?"

[No way, this is hilarious! Hahaha, this is definitely our rival!]

[Host, host, you still haven't told us why these two lied.]

【Oh dear, can't you even see for yourself? Neither the man nor the woman can have children, so they simply claim one is afraid of women and the other is afraid of men, making excuses for their infertility. After getting married, they never even touch each other. It's perfectly normal for them not to have children.】

Shen Zhiyi sat by the window on the second floor of a restaurant, her gaze fixed on the two people.

Actually, this couple is practically the perfect DINK (Double Income No Kids) family, but unfortunately, they're rivals, and rivals who are really good at feuding.

Those present who could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts were shocked by this news.

Someone started whispering.

"I never would have guessed that the Junior Secretary was no good."

"Oh, luckily I didn't let my son go and arrange a marriage with the Princess of Penglai, otherwise I would have no heir."

"It's fortunate that I didn't let my daughter marry him, otherwise she would have been living a widow's life."

The secretary and junior supervisor had a dark expression.

He's just infertile, not impotent!

The Princess of Penglai snorted coldly, no longer caring.

Sigh, but I can understand why they would come up with such an excuse. In today's society, not being able to have children will definitely lead to people talking behind your back.

Those who were hit where it hit the mark immediately swallowed back the words they were about to say.

The mood is a little subtle.

I'm so envious of Princess Penglai and the Junior Secretary!

A look of shock flashed across the Princess of Penglai's indifferent eyes.

What did Shen Lang say?

Say you envy her?

She must have misheard.

Those present who could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts were all shocked.

"I think Shen Lang is wrong."

"That's not certain. Shen Lang is a girl, why would she envy this kind of thing?"

The incessant chatter reached the ears of the Princess of Penglai, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, Shen Lang must have said something wrong.

Her family abandoned her after doctors discovered she had difficulty conceiving.

Her parents were estranged, and her sisters, who knew the truth, would often mock her for it.

Because of her difficulty conceiving, Princess Penglai could not marry into a family of equal social standing and could only marry a minor secretary.

She knew all too well that no woman wanted to be unable to have children her whole life.

The Princess of Penglai's somber mood wasn't very obvious, but the Secretary-General still sensed it.

He angrily went up to the person closest to him and started yelling at them.

The Princess of Penglai looked at the other person in surprise; he was like a fighting rooster.

[How great! You don't need to use any protection when you have sex with other people, so you're not afraid of getting pregnant at all.]

[And this secretary, since he can't have children, he won't have any illegitimate children or anything like that.]

Most importantly!

Shen Zhiyi revealed a rare, lewd smile.

[I've read in the erotic articles that it seems more comfortable not to wear a small umbrella while wearing one. Why don't these two just give it a try? They don't have to worry about having kids anyway, making them a perfect DINK (Double Income No Kids) couple, completely unafraid of the other changing their mind and wanting children!]

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Everyone suddenly realized that Shen Zhiyi was genuinely envious.

Women age faster after childbirth. Princess Penglai is so beautiful and loves beauty, it's a good thing she can't have children.

Princess Penglai's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened, and Shen Zhiyi forcibly pulled her back from her low spirits.

She said that she always felt she looked much younger than people her age.

So it was because she didn't have children.

"Oh no, this princess is so envious of you."

The Eighth Princess, who had come to join in the fun, appeared behind the Princess of Penglai at some point.

Princess Penglai turned around and saw the envious, jealous, and hateful look in the Eighth Princess's eyes.

Before she could say anything...

The Eighth Princess grabbed General Yunhui and questioned him, "Do you have any sons or daughters?"
