Chapter 666 Incident (5)
"What a pity." Xie Jingxing said with regret.
Shen Miao smiled.
…
There were always new things happening in Dingjing City, but they would quickly overshadow the previous ones. For example, the recent lawsuit between the Shen and Chen families was just a joke, forgotten after everyone saw it. As for the Shen Mansion, the situation was the same: the servants still did their jobs. The only difference was that Qiushuiyuan had a new mistress, and she was quite favored by Shen Wan, almost as popular as the first Mrs. Shen San.
Compared to Chen Ruoqiu, Chang Zaiqing was better at managing relationships with those around her. Perhaps because she lacked Chen Ruoqiu's air of self-righteousness, she was cheerful and elegant, and her approach to others was very pleasant. Not only did Shen Wan like her, but even Shen Gui and Old Madam Shen thought she was quite good, and they felt that it was a wise decision for Shen Wan to divorce Chen Ruoqiu.
Shen Wan treated Chang Zai Qing so well that Old Lady Shen summoned a high-ranking monk to examine her. The monk declared that Chang Zai Qing was definitely pregnant with a boy. This finally eliminated Old Lady Shen's last remaining qualms about Chang Zai Qing's parentage. The Shen family's top priority was to quickly add a son, otherwise outsiders would see the family as a family without descendants.
Shen Wan was always smiling, and Chang Zaiqing was always there to offer him advice. She was also very skilled in managing the affairs of the mansion, which made him feel relaxed and happy. There was no man who didn't like such a virtuous wife who could write poetry and manage the household business.
That day, Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan were talking in the courtyard again. Chang Zaiqing was wearing a thick fur coat, with a brazier at her feet and a heater in her hands. Fearing she might catch a cold, Shen Wan had the maids around her diligently serve her.
Chang Zaiqing said, "Master is a little free today."
Shen Wan took her hand and placed it in his own, then smiled and said, “Not just today, there is nothing to do in the court these days, so I can spend more time with you and the child.”
"That's great," Chang Zaiqing said with a smile, "The child can get closer to his father."
Shen Wan was very pleased with these words. He hugged Chang Zaiqing in his arms and sighed, "Now, what I really hope for is that you give birth to a child. Only then will all my efforts be worthwhile."
Chen Ruoqiu seemed to understand something, and seeing that Shen Wan's brows had not relaxed, he asked, "Master, are you still worried about what happened to Miss Shen Wu a few days ago?"
Whether it was Shen Miao marrying Prince Zhou or spreading rumors about their relationship, nothing had happened so far. It seemed like things weren't going well. Chang Zaiqing didn't know why Shen Wan wanted so much, but she knew it had something to do with Shen Wan's career.
Shen Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "These days, Shen Xin has been keeping a very high regard for Shen Miao. Shen Miao has never left the house, so I really can't find an opportunity. It's like an iron barrel, making it difficult for anyone to take action." As he spoke, he seemed to have a sense of regret: "This can't go on."
Chang Zaiqing's eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "That's not difficult. If Miss Shen Wu doesn't go out, then let her go out on her own initiative. To be honest, if Miss Shen Wu goes out, General Shen will know and will inevitably ask her to bring a group of guards with her. After all, General Shen comes from the military and everyone around him is a master. If he really wants to take action, he may not succeed in one fell swoop. It's better to let Miss Shen Wu go out on her own initiative, and go out secretly so that General Shen won't find out. This way, it will be much easier."
Shen Wan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Shen Miao doesn't have any secrets on a daily basis, so it's difficult to coax her out." Even if Shen Miao had a good friend named Feng An Ning, who had been staying safely in the Feng Mansion these days, and if he asked Shen Miao to come out in the name of Feng An Ning, Shen Miao would definitely be alert.
