Therefore, Jing Chuchu hesitated. If she was with Shen Qiu, Old Madam Shen would guarantee that she could become Shen Qiu’s legitimate wife. However, Sun Cainan treated her gently and generously. People were greedy. Jing Chuchu could not make up her mind, so she did not drug Shen Qiu.
Her hesitation made Old Madam Shen anxious, which was why Old Madam Shen summoned her today.
“Since you’re willing, why haven’t you made a move yet?” Old Madam Shen asked.
“I… I want to make sure nothing goes wrong before making a move. After all, the security of the west courtyard is very tight, and it will be difficult for me to find a chance. If we alert them, our plan will fall flat.”
“Chuchu, I think highly of you.” Old Madam Shen said slowly, “But if you continue to be like this, I’ll be disappointed too. If you’re so timid, I’m afraid you won’t be able to achieve anything in the future.”
Jing Chuchu lowered her head in embarrassment.
Old Madam Shen glanced at her in disgust and said, “You can leave.”
Jing Chuchu quickly left.
After Jing Chuchu left, Old Madam Shen smashed the cup in front of her and said angrily, “What a useless thing!”
As Mrs. Zhang instructed the maid to pick up the broken glasses on the ground, she comforted Old Madam Shen softly, “Old Madam, don’t be anxious. Miss Jing is probably a little scared. A girl will always have some scruples when doing such a thing.”
“How can I not be anxious?” Old Madam Shen said angrily, “Yuan said yesterday that Shen Xin and his wife have been considering finding a wife for Shen Qiu lately. If they really find one they think is good, it will be too late. I originally thought that Jing Chuchu was an ambitious person, so I helped her. Who knew that she would be so useless!?”
Mrs. Zhang patted Old Madam Shen’s chest to calm her down. “Miss Jing is still young. Moreover, what Miss Jing said makes sense. Now the security in the west courtyard is tight, if we alert the enemy, it will be terrible.”
“Then what do you think we should do?” Old Madam Shen said angrily, “We are running out of time now, and that girl is unwilling to do anything. We can’t just watch Shen Qiu get married, right?”
“Old Madam.” Mrs. Zhang pondered for a moment. “Miss Jing is young. It’s a little risky for her to do this. Why don’t we let our people do it?”
“Our people?” Old Madam Shen looked at her.
“That’s right.” Mrs. Zhang said, “If our people do it, they can naturally do it more skillfully than Miss Jing. When the time comes, even if something goes wrong, we can pin the blame on Miss Jing. However, I don’t think there will be such a possibility. In the early years, we had done this kind of thing many times. It will be easy.”
Old Madam Shen’s gaze flickered. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, “You’re right. Since that girl doesn’t dare to make a move, get someone to help her. Call Fu’er and Xi’er in.”
…
No one knew about the scheme in the making, but it was another matter if the people who knew about it would tell anyone. However, on the surface, everything was developing in the way Old Madam Shen wanted.
On this day, when Shen Miao returned to the west courtyard from outside, she bumped into Shen Yuan.
Ever since the Jing siblings came to the Shen family, Shen Yuan had been busy with something, and people rarely saw him. Everyday, he left early and came back late. Shen Gui was naturally unhappy and thought that Shen Yuan was deliberately avoiding him because of what happened to Ren Wanyun. He quarreled with Shen Yuan a few times, but in the end, it didn’t change anything. Shen Yuan was still nowhere to be seen in the mansion.
Surprisingly, Shen Miao met him today.
Seeing Shen Miao, Shen Yuan slowed down and said, “Fifth Sister.”
