531 I Want It (2)

“This…” Shen Dongling waved her hand in a panic.” No, that’s…”

“Why are you hesitating?” Shen Yue pretended to be angry. “We’re the closest sisters after all. It’s only right for me to buy something for you.”

Shen Dongling was a little at a loss, but she did not know how to answer Shen Yue. Seeing this, Shen Yue smiled and patted her shoulder gently. “Third Sister, you’re still so timid. I still have something to do, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Tomorrow, go to the jewelry shop with me.” Her tone was unnegotiable.

Shen Dongling nodded in agreement.

After Shen Yue and the others gradually walked away, Shen Dongling’s maid, Wu Mei, said, “What is Second Miss trying to do? She’s distant one moment and enthusiastic the next. Why did she suddenly invite you to the jewelry shop?”

Shen Yue had always been indifferent to Shen Dongling, but her enthusiasm at this moment was indeed suspicious.

“She’s trying to please me.” Shen Dongling looked at Shen Yue’s departing figure and smiled. “She probably thinks that I’m easy to bribe and wants me to rely on her and trust her. In the future, it’ll be much easier for me to help her.”

Wu Mei was shocked. “Then what should we do? This Second Miss clearly has evil intentions and wants to use you.”

“It’s fine.” Shen Dongling smiled happily. “I’ll take the jewel. I’m not a saint. Why should I refuse to take something for free?”

Shen Yue, who was walking towards the Autumn Water Garden, had a dark gaze. Her mind was filled with Shen Dongling’s weak and obedient appearance just now. For some reason, Shen Yue had a feeling that winning over Shen Dongling might be very useful to her in the future.

…

While Shen Yue was making a fuss, on the other side, at the entrance of the west courtyard of the Shen family, someone was moving flowers out. Shen Wan passed by the west courtyard and happened to hear an old woman scream, “Miss, be careful!”

Shen Wan looked over and saw a young woman moving a pot of extremely heavy flowers to the stage. The pot in her hand was probably too heavy and she almost hit her foot. The nanny beside her heaved a sigh of relief. The woman turned around and smiled at the nanny.

Shen Wan stopped in his tracks.

The woman was wearing a green dress. Her hair was tied into a lily bun, and there was an agate hairpin on her head. Last night, there was a thunderstorm, and the sun had come out this morning. She was not born to be devastatingly beautiful, but she was good-looking nonetheless. The sunlight made the sweat on her forehead crystal clear. Because she was sweating, her face was red, which made her look indescribably charming.

Everyone loved beauty. Although Shen Wan did not take in concubines, it did not mean that he didn’t like beauty. Chen Ruoqiu was the only woman in his family. Although they were in love, after spending so many years togehter, he unavoidably got tired of her. Now that he saw this beauty in front of him, he could not help but be stunned.

It was like appreciating a painting and a poem he liked. At this moment, Shen Wan did not have any other thoughts. The woman seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at her and turned around. When she saw Shen Wan, she paused for a moment before walking over.

She walked up to Shen Wan and bowed bracefully. “Third Master.”
