520 Nightmare (3)
Chang Zaiqing was already 26 years old. Most unmarried women of her age in the capital could only be accepted as a concubine. They had to raise a child who did not belong to them. Moreover, the Chang family was small. Even with the help of the Shen family, it was still difficult for her to marry into a good family.
Chang Zaiqing abandoned her husband and son and came to the capital in search of a better life, so naturally she wouldn’t just marry an ordinary man. She was just too hung up on Shen Xin that she forgot Shen Wan was also a choice. Since Chang Zaiqing was best at weighing the pros and cons, Shen Miao would help Chang Zaiqing see what choices she had and let her choose for herself.
Chang Zaiqing’s expression changed drastically, and her heart was in a mess. Shen Miao’s suggestion reminded her of something that she had not discovered.
That’s right. Since Shen Wan liked Chen Ruoqiu’s personality, he would naturally like her too. Compared to a martial artist like Shen Xin, Shen Wan was a gentleman and knowledgeable. He was the man after her own heart.
However, how did things suddenly end up like this? She originally wanted to come to test Shen Xin, and Shen Xin was the man she had in mind… But in the end, the arrow was directed back at Chen Ruoqiu. Was it because Shen Miao kept talking about irrelevant things that she was distracted? Was it Shen Miao… Shen Miao?
Chang Zaiqing suddenly looked at Shen Miao.
The girl in purple sat in front of the window. The snow outside had stopped at some point. The sun came out and shone on the side of her fair face. Her neck was slender, and she was holding a teacup and slowly sipping it.
She had a dignified aura.
Chang Zaiqing shuddered. It was as if she had just realized now that she had been led by the nose by Shen Miao from the beginning until now.
This girl was definitely not stupid and naive. Instead, she was like a monster.
Chang Zaiqing thought of the first time she came to the new Shen mansion. Shen Miao was already rude to her at that time. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that at that time, Shen Miao already knew what she was up to, so she gave her a hard time on purpose?
Shen Miao looked at her and smiled. “Auntie Chang, why are you sweating profusely? Is the room too hot?”
Chang Zaiqing suddenly came back to her senses. She braced herself up and looked at Shen with a smile. “Probably.”
Shen Miao said indifferently, “If you close the window too tightly, it will be uncomfortable in the room. It’s much cooler outside.” She instructed Jingzhe to open the window and looked at Chang Zaiqing. “Auntie Chang, am I right?”
“Fifth Miss is right.” Chang Zaiqing forced a smile, but when she saw Shen Miao’s smile, she was a little frightened. Even if she had been hiding her ambition so well, Shen Miao could still see through her at a glance. She was simply a monster. Chang Zaiqing was glad that she had discovered it early. If she really married Shen Xin and had to confront Shen Miao, her life would be a misery.
Chang Zaiqing would not take the risk. She would only choose the safest way.
As expected, after chatting with Shen Miao for a while, Chang Zaiqing said that she had to leave. Shen Miao naturally would not stop her. After Chang Zaiqing left, Gu Yu said curiously, “Why is Miss Chang so strange? She seems to be hiding from something. What frightened her?”
