Chapter 655 Internal Fighting (6)
To save money, Chen Ruoqiu had no choice but to hire a shabby carriage. When the carriage arrived in the east of the city, Chen Ruoqiu paid the money and quickly walked towards the inn mentioned in the letter.
As soon as she entered the inn, Chen Ruoqiu looked around but didn't see Shen Yue. Just when she was feeling suspicious, a waiter came towards her, glanced at her, and asked, "Madam, are you looking for a young girl?"
Chen Ruoqiu was startled, then nodded. Her lawsuit with Shen Wan was now known to everyone in Dingjing City, and she felt a little guilty, fearing that someone would recognize her and point fingers at her. She was even more afraid that Shen Yue would be discovered. The waiter said, "Madam, please follow me."
The waiter took Chen Ruoqiu to a room upstairs in the inn. He stopped at the door and said with a smile, "The person you are waiting for, Madam, is inside." Then he left.
Chen Ruoqiu pushed the door open and saw a young woman sitting at the table in the room. The back figure was Chen Ruoqiu who could not be recognized no matter how hard she tried. Who else could it be but Chen Yue?
Chen Ruoqiu closed the door and cried out, "Yuer!"
Shen Yue turned around and couldn't help but be startled when she saw Chen Ruoqiu's appearance. It wasn't until Chen Ruoqiu stepped forward and held her hands that Shen Yue saw Chen Ruoqiu's face clearly that she called out, "Mom!" But then she frowned and said, "Why are you like this?"
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Shen Yue really couldn't believe that the woman in front of her, dressed in shabby and simple clothes, could be her noble, gentle and generous mother.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruoqiu's face flashed with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for that bitch Feichang Zaiqing and your heartless and ungrateful father, I wouldn't have done this!" Then she looked at Chen Yue anxiously, "Yuer, where have you been these days? Do you know how worried I am? Are you okay? What happened?"
Chen Ruoqiu only had one daughter, Shen Yue, and she doted on her with European-style love and care. Her current concern was genuine. Shen Yue felt a little sad when she heard this, but she smiled and said, "Mother, don't be afraid. I'm doing well now. I've found a backer who's even more prestigious than a royal bride. With this backer, the Shen family won't dare bully us in the future."
Chen Ruoqiu asked suspiciously, "Who are you talking about?"
Chen Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qin."
Chen Ruoqiu exclaimed, only to hear Shen Yue hurriedly continue to explain: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very good to me. When I left the Shen family, I encountered a bad guy outside, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved me. Later, he wanted to send me back, but something happened to the Shen family, so I stayed in the Crown Prince's Mansion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good man. Mother, please don't feel bad. I really followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is much better than following those hypocritical people in the Wang family. You can't let me be on equal footing with Shen Dongling? If I go back to the Shen family, my grandmother and father are already dissatisfied with me. Who knows how they will arrange my marriage? Mother, can you just agree to me this time?"
Chen Ruoqiu instinctively felt something was wrong, but after hearing that Huangfu Hao had saved Shen Yue, her expression softened slightly. But after all, the other party was not from Ming Qi. Even though Chen Ruoqiu didn't understand the affairs of the court, she had been with Shen Wan for so many years that she still had a basic sense of vigilance.
"He is from the Qin State after all, and he is also the crown prince..."
Seeing that Chen Ruoqiu still disagreed, Shen Yue made up her mind and simply lied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that when he returns to Qin in the future, he will give me a new identity and let me become his concubine."
"Are you serious?" Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. If Chen Yue left Mingqi and went to Qin to become the prince's concubine, she would have endless wealth and glory in the future. After experiencing the incident with Shen Wanyi, Chen Ruoqiu's current thoughts were different from before. What's the use of love? Love is too illusory. When the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, they are close to each other, but they can turn cold in the blink of an eye. And those copper and silver, wealth and glory mentioned in the original book, are the things that can be relied on. Without money, the Chen family can sneer at their daughter. If their family has a prince's concubine... Chen Ruoqiu's heart slowly warmed up.
"It's absolutely true." Shen Yue said.
Chen Ruoqiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's discuss this matter later. Right now, there's one more thing."
Shen Yue asked, "What's the matter?"
"That bitch Chang Zaiqing schemed against me behind my back. She said one thing to my face and another behind my back. I fell into her trap. Now I've become a pariah, but the person I hate most isn't Chang Zaiqing, but your father. If it weren't for your father's protection, how could I have ended up like this? He didn't care about the love we'd had for each other for decades, letting them live their lives in peace. I won't accept this! I hate him!"
