Chapter 332 Murder (2)
Chen Ruoqiu forced a smile, not wanting to talk to Shen Wan about the silver, so he said: “The Jing family makes trouble in the mansion all day long, which is bound to cause trouble.”
Shen Wan also sighed: "Mother has lost both her wife and her troops this time, and Yuan'er has also been held back."
Everyone in the Shen Mansion knew exactly what was going on between Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu. The Third House chose to sit back and watch the fight unfold, as the First House was more feared than Shen Yuan. Unfortunately, the First House survived unscathed, while the Second House suffered, bringing their own troubles along with them.
"You've worked hard these days." Chen Ruoqiu said gently, "When something happens to the Shen family, you also need guidance."
The chaos in the mansion was naturally a joke to the noble families. Shen Xin was a rough man and was not afraid of being pointed out, but Shen Wan paid attention to his statement. I guess he hadn't had an easy time these days.
Shen Wan held Chen Ruoqiu's hand and shook his head: "It's nothing, but Yuan'er married Jing Chuchu, and it will be a bit troublesome if they want to help each other in the officialdom in the future." He sighed: "Originally, Yuan'er was the most promising."
Hearing this, Chen Ruoqiu felt a little panicked. Shen Wan had no sons of his own, so among the next generation of the Shen family, only Shen Yuan could shoulder the heavy responsibility. In officialdom, nepotism was paramount. If Shen Yuan had married a daughter of an official family in the future, Shen Wan's career in the court would have been much easier. Now that he had married Jing Chuchu, it was tantamount to cutting off any wings that might have grown in the future.
Chen Ruoqiu lowered his head and said, "Who knows? Now even the fifth sister has become so powerful. My eldest brother and his wife's family... It's really difficult for us."
"Don't worry." Seeing Chen Ruoqiu's worry, Shen Wan patted her shoulder: "Yuan'er is not an ordinary person. Xiaowu plotted against Yuan'er, and Yuan'er will definitely be returned. There are times when big brother and sister-in-law are powerless."
"My husband means..." Chen Ruoqiu's heart moved.
"Yuan'er has been acting strangely lately." Shen Wan whispered, "I always feel like something is going to happen."
In the west courtyard, Shen Miao put down the book in her hand and frowned, “What on earth does Shen Yuan want to do?”
Mo Qing whispered, "The young lady has asked me to guard Baoxiang Tower for a long time. Now..."
"Go on." Shen Miao interrupted him, and Mo Qing's face immediately fell. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But Mr. Pei from Guangwen Hall has appeared. Does the young lady have any other instructions?"
Mo Qing had always wondered why Shen Miao had asked him to go to Baoxianglou to watch fireflies. That day, as he was leaving, he accidentally ran into Pei Lang. For some reason, Mo Qing had a feeling that Shen Miao had asked him to go to Baoxianglou to watch fireflies because she had known Pei Lang would appear. Everything Shen Miao had asked him to do had her own agenda, but this time, upon hearing about Pei Lang's appearance, Shen Miao said nothing.
“No.” Shen Miao said, “Just do your own thing.”
"I didn't expect Mr. Pei, who looks like a gentleman, would actually go to a place like Baoxianglou." Guyu blinked: "He doesn't look like that kind of person." After a pause, he added: "Neither does Guard Mo."
Mo Qing felt extremely embarrassed.
"Mo Qing, besides going to Baoxianglou these days, you should also occasionally pay attention to the movements of Chen Yuan in the East Courtyard." Shen Miao said. For some reason, Chen Yuan always made him feel uneasy.
Mo Qing agreed. After Mo Qing left, Jingzhe asked, "Miss, will the Second Young Master come up with any more bad ideas?"
“It’s very strange.” Shen Miao said.
After the incident with the Jing family, Chen Yuan hadn't investigated what had happened that day, nor had he tried to stop it. Jing Chuchu was certainly going to marry Chen Yuan, but if Chen Yuan had used other methods, he could have probably delayed it. But Chen Yuan hadn't even put it off, which only meant he was preoccupied with something more important. Chen Miao couldn't think of anything more important than dealing with her.
