Chapter 663 Incident (2)
However, the Tian family's business was later taken over by someone else, and the shop was mortgaged. Unable to bear the blow, the Tian couple died one after another. Tian Li was also affected by this, and failed the imperial examination that year. After that, his career declined year by year. At that time, Chang Zaiqing was already pregnant and gave birth to Huaisheng, which made her need money even more. Poor couples have many sorrows, and the two quarreled constantly. Tian Li fell in love with alcohol and gambling, and Chang Zaiqing despised that this life was not what she wanted, so one day she sold the last remaining deed in the house for the money and ran away.
Tian Li had also asked people to look for Chang Zaiqing, but they could not find her anywhere. It seemed that Tian Li was not aware of the friendship between Chang Hu and General Shen, so he did not know that Chang Zaiqing had come to Dingjing City.
Tian Li was still gritting his teeth when he spoke of Chang Zaiqing. He said, "This vicious woman! The land deed was meant for Huaisheng to marry when he grows up, and she actually wanted to sell it and take it away. She doesn't even have Huaisheng in her heart. She's a bitch!"
Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Xie Jingxing stood at the other end, his arms folded, staring out the window. He seemed completely uninterested in what Tian Li was saying. However, even though he was just casually standing there, the chilling aura he exuded was impossible to ignore.
Finally, Tian Li asked, "Someone said that if we were brought here, we could see that woman. Miss, the people who brought us to Dingjing...were you?" Tian Li could tell at a glance that the two people before him were probably of extraordinary status, especially the man. How could an ordinary person have such a bold demeanor? Moreover, breaking into a private house in the middle of the night with such arrogance, no ordinary person would have the courage.
“It’s me.” Shen Miao said, “I know where Chang Zaiqing is.”
Tian Li was stunned. When he spoke again, his voice was trembling. He asked, "Where is she?"
Shen Miao frowned slightly. In Tian Li's voice, besides anger, there was even a hint of longing. Perhaps it was because Chang Zai Qing had been married to him for many years, or perhaps it was because Chang Zai Qing was Huai Sheng's mother after all, Tian Li was probably not as tough as he said, and he still had a soft spot for Chang Zai Qing.
This was not something Shen Miao was happy to see.
She said, "Chang Zaiqing is now in the mansion of the former mighty General Shen in Dingjing City. She has become the concubine of Shen Wan, the third master of the Shen mansion. She is already pregnant. Shen Wan treats her very well and dotes on her. I think it won't be long before she gives birth to Shen Wan's legitimate child. Shen Wan has no other heirs in the mansion. Once the child is born, perhaps Chang Zaiqing will be made the legitimate wife. Even if not, the child will still enjoy a life of luxury."
Tian Li's expression became extremely interesting. It was like the anger of being cuckolded, humiliation and unwillingness, all intertwined in a complicated mess. However, the slightest bit of softness in his heart also disappeared after Shen Miao's words.
Chang Zaiqing's child lived a life of luxury, while Huaisheng, on the other hand, had even the title deed to his future wife sold, leaving him with nothing. Years later, the two children, both born from Chang Zaiqing's womb, led vastly different lives. Comparison is the most dreaded aspect of human nature, and Tian Li would never accept this.
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "Not only that, Master Shen San even divorced his first wife for Chang Zai Qing and went to court with his first wife. I think he really doted on Chang Zai Qing. Now the former Madam Shen San has become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating her. It's really pitiful."
Tian Li sneered, "This Third Master Shen is also a brainless person!" Tian Li also had no good feelings towards Shen Wan. The hatred of having his wife stolen was irreconcilable, and as a poor person, he would always be hostile to the rich. Especially since Chang Zaiqing always showed a yearning for wealth and status in front of Tian Li, Tian Li was even more resentful of Shen Wan.
