652 Infighting (3)
“Giving advice and suggestions to my husband is what a proper wife should do. I have to make him feel that I’m different from Chen Ruoqiu. I have to make him feel that I can do what Chen Ruoqiu can and I can do what Chen Ruoqiu can’t. That’s how I make him unable to leave me.” Chang Zaiqing rubbed her stomach and narrowed her eyes. “Besides, I have a feeling that if I don’t get rid of Shen Miao, I’ll be in a series of misfortunes.”
When Nanny Zhao heard this, she was shocked and did not say anything else. Chang Zaiqing changed the topic and said, “Speaking of which, is there any news from Liuzhou?”
Nanny Zhao said, “The people I sent are on the way. No matter how fast they journey, it will take a few days. They should be back in a few days.”
“Let them settle the matter properly.” A trace of coldness flashed across Chang Zaiqing’s eyes. “I can’t let anyone know about my past.”
…
At night, Shen Miao received a letter from Pei Lang.
According to the letter, Fu Xiuyi actually asked Shen Wan to think of a way to get her to marry Prince Zhou. Seeing that Shen Miao’s expression was not good, Jingzhe and Gu Yu thought that something bad had happened, so they asked, “Miss, did something bad happen to you?”
Shen Miao shook her head. In her previous life and this life, Fu Xiuyi was equally scheming. No matter if she would end up marrying Prince Zhou or not, as long as she had something to do with Prince Zhou, the Shen family and Prince Zhou would not have a good ending. The Shen family would anger Emperor Wen Hui, making Emperor Wen Hui feel that the Shen family supported Prince Zhou and wanted to take a stance in the competition for the throne. As for Prince Zhou, he would be the target of everyone. Fu Xiuyi was really scheming.
As for her third uncle, if he wanted to tie her to Prince Zhou, he would definitely use some unpresentable methods. As Shen Miao thought about it, she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. No matter when, the people of the third branch of the Shen family would use and harm the people of the first branch without hesitation. If possible, they were willing to use the entire first branch as a stepping stone to wealth. They deserved to die.
She said, “Let Mo Qing come in.”
Jingzhe went outside to call Mo Qing over.
Shen Miao asked Mo Qing, “Did the people you sent to Liuzhou find out”
Mo Qing cupped his hands and said, “Miss, the people I sent to Liuzhou have already reported that they have found them. However, there’s another group of people who are also asking about the whereabouts of that father and son. I heard that they even hired assassins to kill them.”
Shen Miao suddenly laughed, but her smile was cold.
“Chang Zaiqing is really ruthless.”
The people Shen Miao asked Mo Qing to find were Chang Zaiqing’s husband and son. Who else would hire assassins to kill the father and son other than Chang Zaiqing? Now that Chang Zaiqing had gotten what she wanted, she even wanted to kill his husband and son to avoid trouble later on.
“Send someone to tell the people in Liuzhou to protect the father and son and bring them back to the capital as soon as possible,” Shen Miao said.
Mo Qing nodded. Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and added, “Wait.” She said, “Help me deliver a letter to Shopkeeper Ji of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop.”
…
The lawsuit between the Shen family and the Chen family was really long and lingering. Many people thought that this case had been closed for a long time. Later, when they asked, they found out that it was not over yet. It took almost two months for the case to be concluded. In the end, Shen Wan divorced Chen Ruoqiu.
This beautiful marriage, which was praised by everyone as an ideal marriage between a talented man and a beautiful woman, ended in such a farce. What was most shocking was that after Shen Wan divorced Chen Ruoqiu, he quickly married Chang Zaiqing.
