Chapter 510: Chang Zai Qing (5)
But this marriage certificate did change some things.
I don't know who said it, but Chang Zaiqing has never married in all these years, not only because of the coercion of the young master of a wealthy family, but also because she kept her virginity for Chen Xin.
However, Chen Xin and Luo Xueyan had a very close relationship, so this marriage certificate seemed a bit awkward.
At that time, Chang Zaiqing knelt before Luo Xueyan and said that she had no other thoughts about Shen Xin. The marriage certificate was just a joke from the elders, and she herself had never taken it to heart. For the next half of her life, she just wanted to live a quiet life and didn't want to think about anything else. As for getting married, she had already given up the idea. If the Shen family felt that she was inconvenienced, she could find a temple and cut her hair to become a nun. She would never bother the Shen family.
How could a good girl who came here to seek asylum, and the daughter of a benefactor, be allowed to become a nun in the end? Everyone in the Shen family tried to persuade her, especially Chen Ruoqiu and Ren Wanyun. In the end, somehow, Madam Shen actually suggested that Shen Xin take Chang Zaiqing as a concubine.
Chen Xin naturally refused. His own backyard was clean and innocent, so what was the point of having more women? Chang Zaiqing also refused, but in the end, it was Luo Xueyan who agreed.
Luo Xueyan is a person who can't tolerate any sand in her eyes and is also very fierce. Her original requirement for marrying Chen Xin was that she would be the only one in Chen Xin's backyard. Chen Xin did it, but she would take the initiative to ask her husband to marry Chang Zaiqing.
Chang Zaiqing had no choice but to agree, but she said that she would only be a concubine in name only, but would not perform the duties that a concubine should perform. The reason she agreed was simply to resolve some worries. She still did nothing on weekdays.
At the time, Shen Miao felt that Chang Zai Qing was incredibly sensible. How could such a kind person exist in the world? Being a concubine, she didn't share the favors, quietly occupying the title. Shen Miao herself was at Prince Ding's mansion, and the concubines sent by the ministers always upset her. But to Chang Zai Qing, she felt completely secure.
Chang Zaiqing thus became Shen Xin's nominal concubine, and indeed had little friendship with Shen Xin, seemingly like a brother and sister. However, she had a very good relationship with Luo Xueyan, which Shen Miao had been a little worried about at first, but later she also felt that this was a good idea.
Not long after, Luo Xueyan became pregnant. Chang Zaiqing took care of her all day long, but for some unknown reason, Luo Xueyan had a miscarriage in her own yard. After the miscarriage, she was depressed all day long and died of illness soon after.
Chen Xin was in so much pain that his hair turned almost white overnight. After Luo Xueyan's death, Chen Xin seemed to have lost his vitality and aged rapidly. To the point that he had no desire to fight. When Fu Xiuyi plotted against him, he didn't even have the strength to fight back, and was even exploited by the second and third wives.
What Shen Miao hated most was Chang Zaiqing's methods. Not to mention how Luo Xueyan had miscarried for no apparent reason, Shen Miao knew that Luo Xueyan was a heroic heroine, so how could she have died of depression and emaciated overnight? The only person who stayed by Luo Xueyan's side all day and could talk to her was Chang Zaiqing, so she was definitely responsible for this incident.
Chen Xin had sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any clues. Chang Zaiqing was innocent. Since Luo Xueyan's death, Chen Xin hadn't remarried, and Chang Zaiqing continued to hold the title of concubine. However, the Shen family's main house needed a woman to manage everything, so Chang Zaiqing naturally became the main house's wife in the eyes of the servants. Her gentle and silent demeanor quickly won the hearts of the servants, and she had the demeanor of a mistress of the house.
This is what Shen Miao finds most terrifying.
Chang Zaiqing was very clever. She knew that Chen Xin had no room for another woman in his heart, and she had no desire to capture his heart. So she took advantage of Luo Xueyan, deceiving her into trusting her and making her consider her a family member, and then stabbed her in the back. Words can hurt, and someone like Chang Zaiqing could cause Luo Xueyan pain with just a few casual words. When Luo Xueyan lay on her sickbed, Chang Zaiqing said countless words of comfort that could have put her to death.
