627 Adding Fuel to the Flame (2)

Chen Ruoqiu was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. The maids beside her, Shi Qing and Hua Yi, quickly helped her up. Fear gradually surged in Chen Ruo Qiu’s heart. She suddenly felt that something was slowly changing, and the most terrifying thing was that she did not know what was changing.

The commotion in the Autumn Water Garden quickly spread to other courtyards, such as the west courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time.

The west courtyard was spacious to begin with. Ever since Chang Zaiqing moved in, she decorated it with flowers and plants, making the west courtyard a unique and elegant place. At this moment, Chang Zaiying was sitting in the room. She folded the letter she had just finished reading and put it away.

Nanny Zhao opened the window to let in some fresh air. She said to Chang Zaiqing, “Is it a letter from First Madam Shen?”

Chang Zaiqing nodded.

The letter was sent by Luo Xueyan. Actually, Chang Zaiqing could not tell if it was from Luo Xueyan or Shen Miao. At the thought of Shen Miao, the clear eyes of the girl that seemed to see through everything appeared in her mind, making her shiver. In the letter, Luo Xueyan said that Chang Zaiqing had not been to the new Shen mansion for a long time. If she had time, she could go and visit them. Luo Xueyan even mentioned that she wanted to introduce a good family to Chang Zaiqing.

However, in this letter, Chang Zaiqing seemed to have read a hidden message.

Some time ago, she changed her target from Shen Xin to Shen Wan. Dealing with Shen Wan was much easier than Chang Zaiqing thought. The reason was that Shen Wan liked elegant people the most, and Chang Zaiqing was quite to his taste. Ever since Shen Yue got into a mess, the conflict between Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu had become more and more intense, and Shen Wan liked coming to the west courtyard very much because Chang Zaiqing could understand him and had a way to comfort him. Gradually, Chang Zaiqing became more and more familiar with Shen Yu.

Was Luo Xueyan going to matchmake her and Shen Wan?

Just as she was thinking, a maid outside came in to report that Shen Wan was here.

Nanny Zhao quickly left. When Shen Wan entered the room, she saw Chang Zaiqing holding a letter and reading it with relish. He asked curiously, “Whose letter is this? Why are you so engrossed in reading it?”

Chang Zaiqing seemed to have just seen Shen Wan enter. She smiled and put down the letter in her hand. “It’s a letter from First Madam Shen.”

The smile on Shen Wan’s face froze for a moment. He pretended to ask casually, “Why did Sister-in-law send a letter to you?”

Chang Zaiqing smiled and said, “First Madam Shen is a good person. She said that she wants to be my matchmaker. She probably thinks that I am alone and don’t have anyone to rely on.”

She was still smiling happily, making her look even more charming, but Shen Wan gradually stopped smiling.

This matter in the Shen family was also being discussed in Rongjing Hall.

Old Madam Shen sat on the couch, and the maid behind her gently massaged her shoulders. Mrs. Wang said softly, “Old Madam, Third Master went to the west courtyard again.”

Old Madam Shen opened her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. A moment later, she slowly closed her eyes and said, “So be it. Although her status is a little low, she’ll just be a concubine anyway. Her status doesn’t matter.”

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said, “Old Madam, you can rest assured now. Initially, Third Master refused to take in concubines. After taking Miss Chang in as a concubine, Third Master will definitely start taking in other concubines in the future. At this rate, it won’t be long before he can have a son.”
