Chapter 515 Invitation (4)

Chang Zaiqing just smiled and said nothing. Both of them were delicate and elegant, like ladies from a family of scholars. Their every move was pleasing to the eye, like a pair of sisters. Chen Ruoqiu took Chang Zaiqing's hand and said, "Miss Qing, no matter how much you like the snow, don't stay in this yard for too long, or you'll get caught in the cold. There's a heater inside, so why not go inside and sit for a while?"

Chang Zaiqing did not refuse, and the two of them walked into the house hand in hand. After entering the house, the maid brought them hot tea.

Chen Ruoqiu took the lead and took a sip of tea, then looked at Chang Zaiqing with a smile: "I originally thought that after our Shen family came here, we were still missing a sister to share the exquisiteness of the tea ceremony with me, but I never found one. Now that you are here, I am very happy."

"The Third Madam is very kind." Chang Zaiqing also smiled.

"Miss Qing has a delightful personality, anyone would like her." Chen Ruoqiu said, "We hit it off right away. I knew you were intelligent and refined. You and I seem to get along so well, but I wonder how you talked to my sister-in-law a few days ago?" After a pause, Chen Ruoqiu sighed, "My sister-in-law comes from a military family, so she doesn't understand tea ceremonies, but she's a kind and straightforward person. I wonder if she scared you?"

There was a hint of probing in these words. Chang Zaiqing gently stroked the tea lid and replied with a humble look, "Madam is very kind and told me many interesting stories I had never heard before. She didn't shy away from me because of my status, and I am grateful for that."

"I knew it." Chen Ruoqiu nodded. "You are so sensible and understanding, and my sister-in-law is so straightforward and frank, so it's natural that we can get along well... Miss Qing, have you ever met my brother?"

Chang Zaiqing shook his head: "It was too late that day, and General Shen had not returned home yet, so I came back first, thinking it would not be too late to visit him another day."

Chen Ruoqiu smiled even deeper. "It's okay to visit another day. After all, we're all family. Now that we all live in Dingjing, we're close, so everything will be very convenient."

As she was speaking, she saw a maid coming in with a letter. Seeing Chen Ruoqiu there, she first bowed to Chen Ruoqiu, then handed the letter to Chang Zaiqing and said, "Miss, this is a letter from the doorman."

Chen Ruoqiu's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Miss Qing has only been in Dingjing for a short time, and you've already made some good friends? You've sent out invitations like this, I wonder who they are?"

Chang Zaiqing opened the post and took a look, then said with a smile, "Third Madam, you're mistaken. The only people I know in Dingjing are from the Shen Mansion. I don't have any friends. This post was sent by Madam Shen."

"Sister-in-law?" Chen Ruoqiu was stunned, and looked at Chang Zaiqing with a hint of surprise. "It seems that sister-in-law likes you very much. When she lived in the mansion, she rarely sent invitations to anyone." After saying this, she seemed very happy for Chang Zaiqing: "It seems that you two really hit it off from the first sight. I'm a little jealous."

Chang Zaiqing smiled and said, "The Third Madam is teasing me again."

"This post is dated today." Chen Ruoqiu glanced at the post in Chang Zaiqing's hand and said in surprise, "Miss Qing, why don't you go and take a look now?"

"Right now... I'm afraid it's a little too early." Chang Zaiqing hesitated.

Chen Ruoqiu smiled and patted her hand. "Why are you being so shy? You know, we're all family. Just treat it as a visit. Besides, with your sister-in-law's personality, you're being so coy and awkward. It'll only make her feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Why cause misunderstandings?"

Chang Zaiqing looked at the post, and Chen Ruoqiu continued: "To be honest, I have some selfish motives. I think if you get along well with the eldest sister-in-law, it will be much easier to explain the misunderstandings between the eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. These... still have to rely on you." He sighed.
