Chapter 309: Help Her (3)
"That girl is planning to help Fu'er?" Gu Yu asked cautiously, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. Shen Miao didn't care much about the people in Rong Jingtang, and now she is not a kind-hearted person. It always feels impossible for her to help Fu'er.
“Of course I will help.” Shen Miao said calmly, “Every mistake the old lady makes is an opportunity for us.”
"Miss, you want to bribe Fu'er?" Jingzhe asked, "But can Fu'er be bribed? Fu'er used to be the most loyal to the old lady."
“When loyalty is not rewarded, the power to defect will grow stronger. When a dog kept by one’s side goes mad, it will bite its owner the most painfully.” Shen Miao said calmly.
…
For several days, the Shen Mansion was peaceful. Jing Chuchu no longer frequented the West Courtyard. Instead, she often went out shopping with a few of the Shen Mansion's guards, saying she wanted to see the hustle and bustle of Dingjing City. Naturally, no one stopped her. For the people in the West Courtyard, they were even more eager for Jing Chuchu to go out every day so that the guards at the West Courtyard gate could relax a little.
However, Jing Chuchu's attire became increasingly luxurious day by day. Old Madam Shen also gave the Jing siblings money, but due to her stingy status, she wouldn't give much. Even Shen Yue was surprised by Jing Chuchu's extravagant attire, but when asked, Jing Chuchu claimed it was money she brought from home. Even Jing Guansheng's finances were becoming more relaxed, and he was giving more money as rewards to the servants in the Shen residence.
Everyone said that it was because the two brothers and sisters of the Jing family came to Dingjing City, their horizons broadened, and their small-scale habits were restrained, becoming more and more like the people of Dingjing City.
While Jing Chuchu and her siblings were living comfortably, naturally, some people in the mansion weren't quite so comfortable. Inside Rongjing Hall, Old Madam Shen looked at Jing Chuchu, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Chuchu, how have you been lately? Is there anything you're not used to in Dingjing?"
"Thanks to the old lady, Chuchu is living a good life." Jing Chuchu said.
"Since you are doing well, why haven't you used the medicine bag I gave you?" Old Madam Shen stared at Jing Chuchu with her triangular eyes and spoke in a stern tone. If someone was timid, they would probably be scared to tears by her ferocious appearance.
Jing Chuchu lowered her head, her voice unchanged as she said, "Madam, Chuchu can't even get close to my cousin right now. I really can't find a chance."
Old Madam Shen had handed the medicine package to Jing Chuchu early on, and asked her to drug Shen Qiu as soon as she found an opportunity. Who would have thought that so many days had passed, and the Shen Mansion was calm, and Jing Chuchu had never taken action at all.
"You hang around outside all day and come back home late. It would be strange if you could find the right opportunity." Old Madam Shen couldn't help but sneered: "Chu Chu, are you unwilling? If you don't want to, forget it."
"Chu Chu is not unwilling." Jing Chu Chu said hurriedly. These days, she would meet with Sun Cainan outside every day. She pretended not to know Sun Cainan's identity. Sun Cainan treated her gently and attentively, and gave her clothes and jewelry. It was precisely because of Sun Cainan's things that made Jing Chuchu hesitate. Compared to going to the bitter cold land of the northwest like Shenqiu and not being seen all year round, marrying Sun Cainan was obviously much more comfortable. But whether Sun Cainan was willing to marry her was another question. Jing Chuchu had always maintained her innocence because she knew the symptoms of men: to let them see but not touch, touch but not eat, and eat but not eat enough, so that they could firmly hook a man's heart. She was indeed fascinated by Sun Cainan, but Sun Cainan was the legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion, and she came from a humble family. Even if Sun Cainan liked her, Sun Tianzheng would not agree. She was unwilling to be Sun Cainan's concubine.
