496 Worse Than A Tiger (3)

When Chen Ruoqiu was chatting with Chang Zaiqing previously, she had mentioned Shen Xin. Now, Chang Zaiqing had met everyone in the Shen family, except for the first branch that had moved out. Chen Ruoqiu suggested that since she was the daughter of Old General Shen’s old subordinate and Chang Hu was Old General Shen’s savior, Shen Xin would naturally not refuse to see Chang Zaiqing. Moreover, Shen Xin was the eldest son of Old General Shen. Logically speaking, it was only right for Chang Zaiqing to pay him a visit.

Hearing this, Chang Zaiqing hesitated for a moment and shook her head with a smile. “I already feel bad about disturbing Madam now. How can I disturb General Shen? Moreover, I came to the capital this time to run away from that young master who has been pestering me. As long as this matter is over, I’ll leave. It’s not good to let General Shen know about this.”

“Miss Chang, there is one thing I don’t like about you. You are being too polite.” Chen Ruoqiu pretended to be angry. “The Chang family and the Shen family are so close. You’re like a family to us. I heard that when you were young, Shen Xin had also seen you. You can be considered his younger sister. Why would he feel troubled to see you? If you really don’t pay him a visit, I’m afraid he will be angry when he finds out.”

Chang Zaiqing did not speak. Chen Ruoqiu patted her hand and said, “Besides, since you want to hide from that man in Liuzhou, it’s safer for Shen Xin to protect you. He has a lot of soldiers and guards. Even if that man chases you all the way to the capital, he won’t dare to challenge Shen Xin. Since I treat you as one of us, I’ll tell you honestly that his place is the safest for you.”

Hearing that, Chang Zaiqing’s expression changed, and a hesitant expression began to appear on her face. Chen Ruoqiu continued, “Miss Chang, just treat it as being a guest to your own brother’s house for a few days. What’s inappropriate about that?”

Chang Zaiqing forced a smile. “After all, it’s been too long. I don’t know if General Shen still remembers me. Moreover, there’s still Mrs. Shen, Fifth Miss, and Eldest Young Master. I’m afraid I’ll disturb them if you drop in for no reason.”

“Don’t worry.” Chen Ruoqiu smiled when she heard that. “My sister-in-law has the best personality. Because she’s a heroine from a military family, she’s straightforward and honest. She’s not scheming and is a kind person. When she finds out what’s causing to come to the capital, she will even sympathize with you. Moreover, Shen Xin doesn’t have any other women in his family. It’s hard for my sister-in-law to find someone to talk to. When she sees you, she’ll definitely treat you very well. As for Eldest Young Master and Fifth Miss, they’re both sensible children, so they won’t mind.”

Seeing that Chang Zaiqing was a little convinced, Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, “How about this? If Miss Chang thinks it’s not a bad idea, I’ll get someone to write a letter for you and send it over. Miss Chang, go and visit him first and see what his attitude is. If he thinks it’s inappropriate, just come back.”

Chang Zaiqing thought for a long time and finally nodded. She smiled gratefully at Chen Ruoqiu and said, “Third Madam, thank you for thinking about me.”

“Look, you’re getting more and more courteous with me.” Chen Ruoqiu smiled and stood up. “It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll get someone to send it over tomorrow after I write the letter. Miss Chang, you don’t have to worry about anything. A smart girl like you will be likable everywhere.”

After sending Chen Ruoqiu off, Nanny Zhao came over to clean up the table. Nanny Zhao heard what Chen Ruoqiu and Chang Zaiqing said just now. Nanny Zhao asked, “Miss, why would Third Madam Shen mention General Shen for no reason? Could it be that she wants to chase you out of the mansion?”
