Chapter 509: Chang Zai Qing (4)

Chang Zaiqing naturally had difficulties, but this could not be said in front of the younger generations. After dinner, Luo Xueyan hurriedly pulled Chen Xin back to the room, presumably to talk to him about Chang Zaiqing.

Chen Qiu had been busy with matters in the capital these days, and Luo Ling, who had just arrived at the Ministry of War, was also very busy. The two of them would get together to discuss things whenever they had free time. As for Luo Tan, he was tired after a day of playing outside and returned to his room early to rest. Late at night, the light in Chen Miao's room was the only one still on in the entire Shen Mansion.

Jingzhe and Guyu had already been sent out by Shen Miao to sleep. Seeing that Shen Miao hadn't made any effort to rest, the two maids assumed she was worried about what happened to Princess Ming'an today. After everyone had left, Shen Miao rubbed her forehead, the pages of the book in front of her untouched for a long time.

She wasn't worried about Princess Ming'an at all. Huangfu Hao had lost face in front of Xie Jingxing as a warning to Princess Ming'an, and she would be quiet for the next few days. What bothered her was Chang Zaiqing, who had come to visit the Shen Mansion today.

That day, when she went to Fengxian Pawnshop to test Ji Yushu, she saw a figure on her way back. She was startled at the time, but when she looked again, it had disappeared from the crowd. At first, Shen Miao thought it was her eyes, but now she thought about it, it was the truth. She saw Chang Zaiqing at that time.

Some things have changed, but I don’t know if it’s fate that some people appear at this time.

The collapse of Chen Xin's faction began, not only due to his military power, but more importantly, the betrayal of the people within the palace. Chen Xin was a man who refused to admit defeat, his bravery on the battlefield making him fearless of any challenge. However, he was ultimately pushed to the brink by Fu Xiuyi, and this was largely due to more than just Fu Xiuyi's suppression.

Shen Qiu died because of Jing Chuchu, but the appearance of Chang Zaiqing caused Luo Xueyan to lose her life.

Luo Xueyan was indeed from Liuzhou. Not long after this time in her previous life, Luo Xueyan had also appeared before the Shen family. At that time, the Shen family had not yet split up. Chang Zaiqing was gentle and generous, with a well-arranged manner of conversation. Everyone in the Shen family liked her, including Luo Xueyan.

Luo Xueyan was a military commander. Within the Shen residence, Ren Wanyun was too smooth, and Chen Ruoqiu was very aloof. Although they appeared to be on good terms, Luo Xueyan's personality made it impossible for her to get too close to them. However, soon after Chang Zaiqing appeared, Luo Xueyan became very close to her.

Shen Miao had always thought that Chang Zai Qing was a good person. She had already married Fu Xiu Yi at that time, and she had come back a few times to see Chang Zai Qing, and they always had a pleasant conversation. Chang Zai Qing was very pleasant to talk to. When she met Chen Ruo Qiu and the like, she would talk about poetry with her, and with Luo Xue Yan, she would talk about military strategy. With Shen Miao, she would talk about how to please her husband. She was considerate and always had advice, so Shen Miao was very fond of her.

Later, it was discovered that Chang Zaiqing remained unmarried until her twenties because a young man from a wealthy family in Liuzhou threatened to take her as a concubine. That family was so wealthy and powerful that no one in Liuzhou dared to offend them. Even Chang Zaiqing, despite her exceptional talents, would have dared to risk antagonizing them by proposing marriage to the Chang family. Over the years, that family's behavior became increasingly excessive, leaving Chang Zaiqing desperate and seeking refuge in Dingjing, the capital, with her father's old friends.

Shen Miao felt very sympathetic towards Chang Zaiqing's plight. Such a kind and elegant person had not been able to marry someone who could provide for her. She had thought that Chang Zaiqing would continue to live in the Shen Mansion as a guest, until Chen Ruoqiu produced a marriage certificate. It turned out to be a marriage certificate between Shen Xin and Chang Zaiqing, probably written by General Shen and Chang Hu. It had been so long since then, and no one knew the details, so it was no exaggeration to say that it was a joke.
