654 Infighting (5)
To be honest, Huangfu Hao treated Shen Yue quite well, which was naturally because Shen Yue was deliberately currying favor with him. However, among the concubines Huangfu Hao brought, Shen Yue was still the most favored. Perhaps Huangfu Hao also enjoyed the feeling of having a concubine whose father was an official in Ming Qi.
Shen Yue asked the maid beside her, “Have you delivered the letter to the Chen family?”
The maid said, “It’s on their way. They should probably receive it soon.”
Shen Yue took a sip of tea.
…
Chen Ruoqiu received a letter.
She did not know who sent this letter to her room. The old master and madam of the Chen family did not want to see Chen Ruoqiu at all. Because Chen Ruoqiu had caused the Chen family to suffer a huge blow, her allowance had been reduced by a lot. Her brother and sister-in-law looked at her like she was a troublemaker. Chen Ruoqiu’s life was very difficult. She stayed in her room all day and did not go out.
She looked around to make sure that no one was around. Out of curiosity, she opened the letter, and then she was stunned.
The handwriting on the letter was very clear to Chen Ruoqiu that it was written Shen Yue. The letter instructed Chen Ruoqiu to go to a rather remote inn in the east of the city. There was no inscription. However, Chen Ruoqiu already knew that Shen Yue wanted to meet her.
Chen Ruoqiu felt relieved. Shen Yue could still write to her. Looking at the unhurried handwriting, it was obvious that Shen Yue was still very safe. Chen Ruoqiu slowly calmed down, and her previous worries were all gone.
These days, she had suffered blow after blow, making her anxious and feel that her life was hopeless. However, Shen Yue’s letter seemed to have lit up her hope. With her daughter still around, Chen Ruoqiu was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. At least she was not alone. She wanted to make a comeback and took back what was hers from Chang Zaiqing.
Chen Ruoqiu gradually calmed down. The next day, the servants around her realized that Chang Zaiqing, who had been haggard and irritable these days, seemed to be in a much better mood. It was as if she had become Third Madam Shen again. Even when the servants bumped into her, Chen Ruoqiu didn’t flare up and only smiled.
If one looked closely, they would notice that Chen Ruoqiu’s eyes seemed to have been reignited with endless hope.
The next morning, Chen Ruoqiu went out.
No one from the Chen family stopped her. Old Madam Chen was a little worried, but after being glared at by Old Master Chen, she did not say anything. Chen Ruoqiu’s brothers and sisters-in-laws couldn’t care less. She was wearing an eye-catching brown short dress. The dress was still an old style from a few years ago. When Chen Ruoqiu moved out of the Shen family, she did not take away a single cent. At that time, because she was in a fit of anger, she only took some jewelry but not much clothes. Later, she was busy with the lawsuit and did not have time to get new ones. Now, the Chen family didn’t even have the extra money for her to spend on clothes.
Wearing outdated clothes that did not fit her, Chen Ruoqiu felt humiliated. She was wearing a bamboo hat, so others could not see her face. However, even if they saw her face, they would probably not associate her with the talented Third Madam Shen who used to be praised by everyone in the capital.
