635 Divorce (4)
Nan Qi, who was behind Tie Yi, almost choked on his saliva. What did Tie Yi just say? A jewelry? Nan Qi secretly looked at the table and saw that the box on the table was indeed extremely exquisite. It was a small box with exquisite patterns engraved on it. Looking carefully, it seemed to be… a tiger’s head?
Xie Jingxing opened the box and took a look. It was filled with all kinds of jewelry. Cat’s eyes, jade rings, pearls, jade hairpin… They were all items of excellent quality. This small box was worth a thousand gold. Nan Qi thought to himself, Could it be that this was something for Miss Shen? But Miss Shen didn’t look like she liked jewelry. Was Master really giving this to her?
He was quite generous.
Xie Jingxing closed the box and said, “Not bad.” He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Has Fu Xiuyi made any moves recently?”
Tie Yi thought for a moment and said, “No, but he’s quite close to the crown prince.”
The crown prince… Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, “Keep an eye on him. Fu Xiuyi is not simple.”
Tie Yi nodded and was about to leave.
“Wait.” Xie Jingxing stopped him and said, “Shen Yue, get someone to keep an eye on her too.”
…
For the past few days, the Shen family had been in a mess. First, there was the matter of Shen Dongling and Shen Yue swapping marriages, then there was the Wang family not accepting Shen Yue. Later, Shen Yue took all the good things and escaped from home. It was even messier now that Chen Ruoqiu caught Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan in bed.
As a guest of the Shen family and the daughter of Old General Shen’s old friend, Chang Zaiqing was expected to behave herself and keep a distance from people she shouldn’t get close to. Apart from Old Madam Shen, the others would greet Chang Zaiqing politely when they saw her because Third Madam, Chen Ruoqiu, seemed to like her very much. Unexpectedly, Chang Zaiqing climbed into the same bed with Shen Wan without anyone knowing. Chen Ruoqiu didn’t expect to be stabbed in the back by someone she dearly called sister.
Chen Ruoqiu immediately made a fuss all the way to Rongjing Hall.
In Rongjing Hall, Old Madam Shen sat at the head. Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan stood at one side, but Shen Wan was expressionless. Shen Gui looked like he was waiting to watch a good show. Chang Zaiqing lowered her eyes and did not speak, as if she was very ashamed. Chen Ruoqiu forced herself to stop crying and put on an unyielding expression.
“Alright, stop crying.” As if she was finally annoyed by Chen Ruoqiu’s behavior, Old Madam Shen said impatiently, “What’s the big deal about your husband fancying another woman? Why are you crying so much?”
“Mother.” Chen Ruoqiu shouted, “If he takes in a concubine through proper procedures, I naturally won’t say anything. I will even take the initiative to prepare for their wedding. However, the two of them did such a thing behind my back. They were obviously deliberately humiliating me. Mother, I’m also your daughter-in-law and you’re a woman. If my husband wants to take in a concubine, can I stop him? Why does he have to use such a humiliating method?”
“Third Madam.” Chang Zaiqing couldn’t help but say, “What happened today was all a misunderstanding. I drank too much and overstepped the boundary. It has nothing to do with Third Master. Just pretend that this never happened. Tomorrow, I’ll pack my things and leave. I hope you won’t blame Third Master for this.”
Compared to Chen Ruoqiu’s aggressiveness, Chang Zaiqing did not deny her wrongdoing and even put all the blame on herself, making her look more sensible. Shen Wan’s expression changed drastically as he said, “Why are you leaving? I will be responsible for what I did.”
