Chapter 531 The King Wants (2)
"This..." Shen Dongling waved her hands in panic: "No..."
"Are you still being polite to me?" Chen Yue feigned anger: "After all, you and I are the closest sisters. If even you are so distant, what's the point of being sisters?"
Shen Dongling was a bit bewildered, not knowing how to respond to Shen Yue's words. Seeing this, Shen Yue smiled slightly, patted her shoulder gently, and said, "Third sister is still so timid, which makes people feel distressed. Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll have the maid go to Caiyun Garden to find you tomorrow, and come with me to the jewelry store." But her tone was unquestionable.
Shen Dongling nodded and accepted it.
After Shen Yue and her group gradually walked away, Wu Mei, the maidservant beside Shen Dongling, said, "What does the Second Young Lady mean? She's hot and cold at times. Why did she suddenly think of inviting the young lady to the jewelry shop?"
Shen Yue was naturally indifferent to Shen Dongling, but she was so enthusiastic at this moment, which really aroused people's suspicion.
"She's trying all sorts of ways to please me." Shen Dongling looked at Shen Yue's gradually disappearing figure and smiled, "Maybe she thinks I'm easy to bribe. She wants me to rely on her and trust her, so that it will be much easier for her to ask me to do her a favor in the future."
Wu Mei was shocked when she heard this: "What should we do? This Second Young Lady clearly has bad intentions and wants to take advantage of you. What should we do if you fall for her?"
"That's fine," Shen Dongling said with a cheerful smile. "I'm happy to help, just like when she gave me the jewelry. Since I'm not a saint, there's no reason for me to refuse such a good thing." She said, "She's just short-sighted."
As she walked towards Qiushui Garden, Shen Yue's gaze was heavy, her mind filled with thoughts of Shen Dongling's weak and submissive appearance. Both were graceful ladies, both were in their prime, both were daughters of the Shen family... For no apparent reason, Shen Yue had a hunch that winning over Shen Dongling might prove to be of great benefit to her in the future.
…
While Shen Yue was making such a fuss over here, someone was carrying flowers out of the gate of the west courtyard of the Shen Mansion. The hustle and bustle made the place seem quite lively. Shen Wan passed by the west courtyard gate and happened to hear a woman screaming, "Miss, be careful!"
Shen Wan looked over and saw a young woman carrying a heavy pot of flowers to the stage. Perhaps because the pot was too heavy, it almost hit her foot. The nanny next to her breathed a sigh of relief, and the woman turned around and smiled at the nanny, her smile as beautiful as a flower.
Shen Wan paused.
The woman was wearing a turquoise double-breasted gown of feather gauze, a emerald flowered skirt, a lily bun, and an agate hairpin in her hair. There had been a thunderstorm last night, but the sun came out this morning. She was not stunningly beautiful, but was rather pretty. However, the sunlight made the beads of sweat on her forehead sparkle, and because of the sweat, her face became a little flushed, giving her an indescribable beauty.
Everyone loves beauty. Although Chen Wan is not interested in women, that doesn't mean he is indifferent to beauty. There is only one woman in his backyard, Chen Ruoqiu. Although he is in love with her, a long-term relationship will always feel a bit boring. Now, seeing this beauty, between heaven and earth, full of life and fragrance, he naturally can't help but stop.
Just like appreciating a favorite painting or poem, Shen Wan at this moment had no other emotions. He had never been very enthusiastic about matters between men and women. The woman seemed to have noticed someone looking at her. She turned her head and saw Shen Wan. She was stunned at first, then walked over.
She walked up to Shen Wan, without any embarrassment or shyness, and saluted gracefully: "Third Master."
