Chapter 651 Internal Fighting (2)
Especially... She looked at her belly. Now that she was pregnant, she had secured the position of mistress of the Shen family's third branch. Not only did she have to secure it, but she also had to do it well. Therefore, any person or thing that might pose a threat should be eliminated.
"But there is still a way." Chang Zaiqing said with a sweet smile.
Shen Wan's eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you have in mind?"
"That depends on what attitude the master has towards Prince Zhou." Chang Zaiqing asked, "Does Prince Zhou want this marriage or not?"
Shen Wan's heart moved. Prince Zhou was definitely unwilling to form this marriage. The prince of Mingqi was not a fool. Marrying Shen Miao now would undoubtedly make himself a target. Prince Zhou was unwilling to have anything to do with Shen Miao, but Fu Xiuyi's goal was to make it seem like Prince Zhou was very eager to form this marriage with Shen Miao.
He said, "The King of Zhou is certainly unwilling, but... we have to make people think that the King of Zhou is willing."
Chang Zaiqing pondered for a moment and said, "This is a bit difficult. However, women have always valued their reputations. If their reputation is ruined, they will have no support for the rest of their lives. I think that if the master wants to act as a matchmaker, he might as well start with the fifth young lady."
Shen Wan saw that Chang Zaiqing was confident and asked, "Just tell me."
"Madam Shen and General Shen don't want the Fifth Miss to be a concubine. In this world, there is no worst, only worse. If there is a worse outcome than the Fifth Miss being a concubine, General Shen and Madam Shen will definitely retreat and choose to let the Fifth Miss marry Prince Zhou."
Shen Wan’s heart moved.
Chang Zaiqing continued, "As for things worse than being a concubine, there are countless, such as being abducted by bandits, having your name tarnished by hooligans, or even not knowing who the adulterer is? Under such pressure, suddenly a piece of news came out, that person might be Prince Zhou. Regardless of whether it is Prince Zhou or not, General Shen and Madam Shen will choose Prince Zhou, because he is the best option, and the one that can protect Miss Shen Wu."
Chang Zaiqing didn't make his words very clear, but smart people only say about 70% of what they say. In an instant, Shen Wan understood most of it and felt that the situation was suddenly clear. Chang Zaiqing smiled and touched his belly again, smiling gently: "But these are all insidious methods. If I hadn't seen that the master was frowning, I wouldn't have said these words."
Shen Wan had a brilliant plan, so how could he think that Chang Zai Qing's method was sinister? He just felt that he had picked up a treasure. Chang Zai Qing had given birth to a child, and she was also smart and eloquent. She solved his current problem in one fell swoop. He immediately kissed Chang Zai Qing on the cheek and said with a smile: "With such a beauty, how dare I not frown?" Then he stood up again, as if he couldn't wait to do something, and said: "I have something important to do. I will come to see you later."
Chang Zaiqing naturally responded gently. After Shen Wan left, Zhao Ma, who was beside Chang Zaiqing, walked up to her and asked worriedly, "Is the Third Master going to deal with Miss Shen Wu?"
"Maybe." Chang Zaiqing smiled. "It's not the first time I've heard that the first and third branches of the Shen family are at odds."
"Young lady, are you planning to help the Third Master deal with the Fifth Young Lady?" Madam Zhao asked, "The Fifth Young Lady has General Shen above her. Will anything go wrong if you do this?"
"I didn't do this, so how can I be blamed?" Chang Zaiqing's smile remained unchanged: "As long as Shen Wan is not a fool, he will definitely not be easily caught. Besides, if something really happened, the Shen family would be busy dealing with the rumors about Shen Miao, so how could they care about other things?"
Aunt Zhao was still worried: "Why would Miss help the Third Master deal with the Fifth Miss?"
