Chapter 633 Adding Fuel (2)
Thinking of this, Chen Ruoqiu became a little restless.
Huayi walked in from outside and said, "Madam, the old lady got some cloth and asked you to send one to Miss Chang."
Old Madam Shen had always looked down upon Chang Zai Qing, and usually treated her as if she didn't exist in the mansion. Why did she suddenly think of Chang Zai Qing today? Chen Ruoqiu frowned: "The old lady could have just sent someone to take her there, why did she ask me to go?"
Huayi was also a little confused and said, "Maybe it's because he thought you and Miss Chang were close friends."
Chen Ruoqiu was feeling restless, and since Old Madam Shen had asked her to do something, it was a rare opportunity to distract her. Without saying anything, she put on her outer garment and walked towards the west courtyard with a poetic and artistic spirit.
It was already dark, but it was not time to go to bed and rest. Chen Ruoqiu guessed that Chang Zaiqing was still awake, so he didn't tell anyone.
When they arrived at the West Courtyard, they found the lights there were unexpectedly turned off early. Chen Ruoqiu was a little surprised, but when Madam Zhao saw her, she was startled and seemed a little flustered. She asked, "Why is the Third Madam here?"
"The old lady asked me to bring some cloth to Sister Qing," Chen Ruoqiu said, then poked her head towards the other end of the boudoir and asked, "Why, Sister Qing is already asleep?"
"Yes, yes." Madam Zhao said, "Young lady has been feeling a little lazy these days, so she went to bed early."
Chen Ruoqiu felt a little strange, thinking that Madam Zhao looked very unnatural. She looked at the maids around her, all of whom had their heads lowered, as if afraid of being seen. Just then, a faint noise could be heard from inside the room, though it wasn't clear. However, when the noise came out, Madam Zhao's expression became even more nervous.
Although Chen Ruoqiu was curious, she didn't want to conflict with Chang Zaiqing. In her opinion, Chang Zaiqing might be an excellent weapon, perfect for dealing with the Shen family's eldest wife. Especially today, she had been frustrated one after another, and she was filled with anger that she couldn't express. She wanted to see the Shen family's eldest wife suffer.
Chen Ruoqiu asked the maid to put down the cloth and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
Following Chen Ruoqiu's gaze, Madam Zhao spotted a small sachet placed on the window of Chang Zaiqing's boudoir, facing the courtyard. The sachet was a deep red embroidered with egrets, and it was quite delicate. Chen Ruoqiu walked over and took the sachet in her hands. By the time Madam Zhao wanted to stop her, it was too late.
When Shiqing and Huayi saw the sachet, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide, speechless in surprise.
On the day of Shen Yue's wedding, Chen Ruoqiu saw Chang Zaiqing carrying a beautiful sachet. The sachet was exquisitely crafted, and Chen Ruoqiu couldn't put it down. Chang Zaiqing generously gave it to Chen Ruoqiu. Later, Chen Ruoqiu, wanting to cheer up Shen Wan about Shen Yue's situation, gave the exquisitely crafted sachet to him. The sachet, embroidered with egrets, didn't look feminine, and the scent wasn't that of cosmetics. Chen Ruoqiu remembered that the sachet had contained tea leaves, giving off a delicate fragrance. However, Chen Ruoqiu found the tea scent too cold, so she added some dried osmanthus flowers she'd saved from the previous autumn.
There are no two leaves that are exactly alike in the world. Even though Chang Zaiqing is very clever and can make an identical sachet, not every sachet is filled with osmanthus flowers by Chen Ruoqiu.
Chen Ruoqiu picked up the sachet, her hands were shaking a little, but she finally put it under her nose and sniffed it with determination.
The sweet scent of osmanthus mixed with the fragrance of tea slowly penetrated into Chen Ruoqiu's nose, and Chen Ruoqiu suddenly closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the sight was so poetic and picturesque that I felt a little frightened.
