639 Return (2)
“Shameless!” Chen Ruoqiu screamed, “That adulterous couple forced me to such a state, but at the end of the day, all the blame is pinned on me. Ridiculous! Unbelievable!”
The rumors outside were all disadvantageous to Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruoqiu had always prided herself on being a graceful young lady from a scholarly family. Now that she was called a shrew who was jealous, how could she be willing to accept it?
“That b*tch must have been spouting nonsense outside,” Chen Ruoqiu said through gritted teeth. When she mentioned the divorce, she was just saying it out of anger to scare Shen Wan. Unexpectedly, the word leaked out and was spread by everyone in the streets and alleys, pushing her and Shen Wan to the point of no return. The most disappointing thing was that Shen Wan had never come to see her until now.
“That b*tch must have instigated my husband!” Chen Ruoqiu’s nails dug into her palm. Old Madam Shen deliberately praised Chang Zaiqing in front of her to embarrass her. Now that Shen Yue was missing and Shen Wan was bewitched by Chang Zaiqing, no one in the huge Shen family was standing on her side. The entire capital probably thought that she was the one in the wrong. Chen Ruoqiu suddenly felt helpless.
“Madam, now that Old Madam has given the order, what should we do next?” Hua Yi finally couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Ruoqiu could either let Chang Zaiqing marry Shen Wan as a concubine or let Shen Wan divorce her. However, Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t accept either of the outcomes.
At this moment, her love for Shen Wan turned into hatred bit by bit. She suddenly stood up and sneered. “I won’t allow such a thing to happen. The Shen family humiliated me. I can’t take it lying down. Pack my things. I’m going to go back to the Chen family!”
…
Chen Ruoqiu returned to her parents’ house.
Old Master Chen was in charge of sorting the documents in the Ming Qi Palace. Because he was a civil servant and was well-read, Chen Ruoqiu had always considered herself well-educated. Moreover, when Old Master Chen was young, he indeed came out top in the provincial imperial examination and was quite capable.
Chen Ruoqiu married Shen Wan because the marriage was arranged by the Chen family and the Shen family. Of course, it was Shen Wan who fell in love with Chen Ruoqiu first back then. Although Old Master Chen was not protective of his daughter, he valued his family’s reputation very much and was equally as pretentious as Chen Ruoqiu. Therefore, Old Master Chen was definitely unhappy that Chen Ruoqiu was divorced or was known for being jealous. The Chen family and the Shen family were destined to have a lawsuit.
When Shen Miao heard it from Jingzhe, she was reading under the candlelight. Jingzhe said, “Now that Third Madam has already returned to her family, she will definitely not let this matter rest. If they find out that you were the one who spread those rumors… what will happen?”
It wasn’t Chang Zaiqing, Shen Wan, or Old Madam Shen who started the rumors in the market, but Shen Miao.
Shen Miao had been with the third branch for her entire life. She knew that although Chen Ruoqiu thought highly of herself and loved Shen Wan deeply, she was not stupid. When she found out that Shen Wan and Chang Zaiqing were having an affair, she would definitely be angry and do something rash. However, on second thought, she could think it through. If she softened her attitude and tone in front of Shen Wan, Shen Wan would forgive her out of guilt. At that time, when Chang Zaiqing entered the third branch, it was still unknown who would win at the end. No matter what, Chen Ruoqiu wouldn’t lose so easily.
It was better to spread some rumors to anger Chen Ruoqiu further. Only by adding fuel to the fire would Chen Ruoqiu’s relationship with Shen Wan reach an irreparable stage. It was very terrifying when a woman became vengeful and the thing she would do to take revenge would be more interesting to watch.
