Chapter 519 Nightmare (2)
“The Third Madam is so kind, she will definitely have many children and grandchildren in the future.” Chang Zaiqing followed Shen Miao’s words and said.
"I've always loved comparing our first and third houses," Shen Miao picked up her teacup, blew the tea leaves off her face, and said with a smile, "One is civil and the other is military. And there's only one mistress in each courtyard. But our house is not so bad, at least we have my eldest brother. He's also getting married soon, and I'll find a good match for him in Dingjing soon. With a sister-in-law and a nephew, this house can be considered lively and bustling." Shen Miao seemed a little proud: "But the third house isn't as lively as our first house."
Chang Zaiqing initially thought that Shen Miao was probably being childish and was angry with the Third House, but when he heard the whole sentence, he suddenly seemed to think of something and his expression changed.
It's true that Luo Xueyan was simple-minded and straightforward in Chen Xin's house, and she didn't use her mind. The backyard was already clean, so it wasn't difficult to clean up. But she almost forgot that there was also Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu was Luo Xueyan's eldest son, young and promising, and married to a powerful wife. Even if she didn't fight for it, she would still be suppressed by three points.
Shen Miao saw the change in Chang Zaiqing's expression, and her eyes turned slightly cold.
In her previous life, Chang Zaiqing finally lived in Chen Xin's backyard. At that time, Shen Qiu was already dying, and Shen Miao had married into Prince Ding's mansion. There was almost nothing in the entire backyard that could pose a threat to Chang Zaiqing. With things going so smoothly, how could Chang Zaiqing not seize the opportunity?
But now it is different. Chen Qiu is fine, and he has a healthy and living eldest son. The possibility of Chang Zaiqing becoming his wife is forever in vain.
What path will this calculating woman, who soberly weighs the pros and cons, choose?
She picked up the cakes on the table and said with a smile, "What a pity for Third Uncle. Back when Grandfather was still alive, he seemed to have said that Third Uncle was the smartest one in the Shen family. He was handsome and well-read. If he had a son, he would surely be as smart as him. It's a pity that there's only Second Sister in the Third House. Second Sister is almost getting married now. When Second Sister gets married, there will only be Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the Third House. It's really too lonely."
Chang Zaiqing was listening absent-mindedly, but when he heard the words, his heart moved.
Speaking of which, the situations in Shen Xin and Shen Wan's backyards were almost similar. They both had only one woman, and both were so-called romantics. However, Shen Yue was two years older than Shen Miao, and was about to get married. It was even more rare for the third house to have no children.
“Aunt Qing and Third Aunt have similar personalities, and their demeanors are somewhat similar as well. Both are gentle and talkative, and understand many elegant things. If you don’t know, you might think you are sisters.” Shen Miao met Chang Zaiqing’s somewhat probing gaze and spoke slowly, “But in my opinion, Aunt Qing is more outstanding than Third Aunt, because…Aunt Qing is younger.”
Chang Zaiqing's lips curled up unconsciously. She knew that the people in the Shen Mansion compared her to Chen Ruoqiu. Like Chen Ruoqiu, they were both delicate and talented women. But Shen Miao was right: even the most beautiful woman, even with great talent, would fade with age. In comparison, Chang Zaiqing was even more charming. Moreover, Chen Ruoqiu considered herself the daughter of a noble family and even acted a little aloof, but Chang Zaiqing grew up in a commoner's family and knew how to compromise, bow her head when necessary, and read people's faces, which made everyone praise her.
Chang Zaiqing thought solemnly that she was better than Chen Ruoqiu.
Shen Miao picked up the tea and drank it. The tea tasted bitter at first, but she drank it like honey and revealed a soothing smile.
