636 Divorce (5)
Chen Ruoqiu was already a little irritated by Chang Zaiqing’s words. At this moment, when she heard that Shen Wan was still trying to persuade Chang Zaiqing to stay, it infuriated her even more. She immediately said, “Responsible? How are you going to be responsible for her? Are you going to chase me away and give her the position of the first wife?” After saying that, she turned to look at Chang Zaiqing and pointed at her nose and scolded, “You ingrate. I was the one who provided you with food and clothes when you came to the Shen mansion. Who knew that you would have such evil intentions? You even slept with your brother-in-law. How shameless! You couldn’t seduce Shen Xin, so you came to seduce someone else’s husband. No wonder at such an old age, you are still unmarried. Who would marry such an immoral slut like you?”
Not only was Shen Wan stunned by her words, but even Old Madam Shen was stunned. Chen Ruoqiu, who prided herself in being a well-educated person, was also cursing like a shrew. This scene was a little too unseemly.
Shen Wan was so angry that he could not speak. Chang Zaiqing bit her lips, obviously enduring the humiliation. On the other hand, Shen Gui, who was watching the show from the side, commented, “Sister-in-law, you’re in the wrong this time. If your husband wants to take in a concubine, as his wife, you naturally have to help him with it. Now that you finally have someone to help you share the burden of managing the household, why are you still stopping him?” Shen Gui was lecherous and naturally took a fancy to a beauty like Chang Zaiqing. However, since Chang Zaiqing was Shen Wan’s woman, he would not have designs on her. However, Chen Ruoqiu’s shrewish behavior made Shen Gui look down on her. When Ren Wanyun was around, she did not stop him from bringing women back.
Chen Ruoqiu was in a fit of anger to begin with. Not only did Shen Gui’s words not appease her, but it also made her feel hurt. She immediately pointed at Shen Gui and scolded, “Second Brother, you actually have the time to care about the matters in the third branch. I’m afraid you can’t even take care of your own matters. Now that you are infertile, what’s the point of taking in so many concubines? You’ll still die without descendants.”
Infertility was a sore spot Shen Gui would not allow anyone to touch. Unexpectedly, Chen Ruoqiu poked at it. Shen Gui was so angry that his face turned ashen, and Old Madam Shen did not look good either.
“Chen Ruoqiu, what exactly do you want?” Old Madam Shen said angrily.
“I’ve been married to Shen Wan for so many years. I’m not an unreasonable person. If you kick Chang Zaiqing out, I can pretend that nothing happened,” Chen Ruoqiu said.
“Impossible.” Shen Wan said angrily, “Since I was on the same bed with her, I naturally have to be responsible for her.”
“Anyone can be your concubine, but not her!” Chen Ruoqiu pointed at Chang Zaiqing and shouted. She couldn’t stand the fact that Chang Zaiqing actually betrayed her. This made her feel like she had suffered a great humiliation. More importantly, Chen Ruoqiu knew Chang Zaiqing too well. Chang Zaiqing was more talented than her and had a good temperament. Even Chen Ruoqiu found it difficult to have a bad impression of Chang Zaiqing. From Shen Wan’s words, he was obviously going to favor Chang Zaiqing and neglect Chen Ruoqiu. How could Chen Ruoqiu allow that to happen?
“Why can’t she?” The person who spoke was none other than Shen Wan. At this moment, Shen Wan was boiling with anger. In the past, Chen Ruoqiu had been gentle and graceful in front of him, but today, she was shrewish and unreasonable, making Shen Wan find her intolerable.
Chen Ruoqiu said angrily, “Then divorce me! If you want to marry her, divorce me first!”
