Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 541 - 541 Robbery (6)



541 Robbery (6)

However, Chen Ruoqiu did not know any of this.

Chen Ruoqiu naturally did not know that Chang Zaiqing was very scheming. Chang Zaiqing would not take the initiative to look for Shen Wan, so it was always Shen Wan who took the initiative to look for her. When the two of them were together, they sat or stood far away from each other and looked very distant. Even if others saw them, they would not think too much about it and would not remind Chen Ruoqiu.

Another unbelievable thing was that the third miss of the Shen family, Shen Dongling, suddenly became close to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was like Chen Ruoqiu by nature. She looked down on people with lower status than her, let alone the daughter of a concubine. They had not interacted for so many years, but for some reason, they had become close sisters in a matter of days.

In the Rosy Cloud Garden of the Shen mansion, Shen Dongling was pushing the pastry towards Shen Yue and saying with a smile, “This is a new pastry made by the kitchen. It’s added with cow milk and osmanthus. Second Sister, try it too.”

Shen Yue glanced at the pastry and did not reach out to take it. Instead, she sighed in frustration and said, “I’m not in the mood to eat now. I’m so angry.”

Shen Dongling looked at her and said worriedly, “Second Sister, are you still worried about your marriage?”

“You don’t know about this.” Shen Yue said angrily, “Yesterday, I went to the minister counselor’s mansion. My mother is extremely satisfied with Young Master Wang. If I’m not wrong, she wants me to marry him. I’m so anxious that my head hurts.”

“Minister Counsellor?” Shen Dongling asked curiously, “Is it that young man called Wang Bi?”

“You actually know him?” Shen Yue looked at her suspiciously.

“I once heard my father mention him.” Shen Dongling smiled shyly.

Shen Gui was also an official in the court, so he might indeed be friends with the Wang family. Shen Yue said, “That’s right, it’s him.”

“I heard that Young Master Wang is very knowledgeable and has also become an official. It’s only a matter of time before he makes a name for himself. Second Sister, this is a good thing. Why are you angry?” Shen Dongling asked.

“I don’t like him no matter how big a name he can make for himself.” Shen Yue said angrily, “If I want to marry, I have to marry someone who is born with a bright future. Who does he think he is?”

When Shen Dongling heard that, she asked tentatively, “Could it be… that Second Sister has someone you like already?”

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment before saying, “No, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Shen Dongling smiled apologetically. “I originally thought that a person like Young Master Wang is not bad. If Second Sister doesn’t like him, it’s because you have someone you like. It turns out that I misunderstood you. Second Sister, don’t be angry with me.”

Shen Yue waved her hand, but her eyes were a little absent-minded. When she thought of Fu Xiuyi, her heart couldn’t help but ache. Chen Ruoqiu had told her that what Fu Xiuyi wanted to marry was someone who could help him. She was just the daughter of an ordinary civil servant, so Fu Xiuyi wouldn’t marry her. However, Shen Yue still couldn’t help but wonder that if Fu Xiuyi fell in love with her one day, would he forget about the pros and cons and treat her with respect? She was beautiful and smart, and her talent was well-known throughout the capital. Naturally, she had to marry a peerless man. In Ming Qi, only Fu Xiuyi was worthy of her.

She had kept her chastity for Fu Xiuyi for so long, but now she had to marry someone else. Shen Yue was extremely indignant.

Shen Yue heard Shen Dongling say softly, “Second Sister, why don’t you give it a try? Actually, Young Master Wang might not be as bad as you think. After all, the Wang family and the Shen family are well-matched. Speaking of which, Young Master Wang is a good person. If Second Sister marries him, you won’t suffer. Isn’t that good?”

The more she said that, the more annoyed Shen Yue became. What Shen Yue wanted was never stability but glory. Only Fu Xiuyi could give her the envious gazes of everyone.

“Second Sister, don’t think too much. Some people can’t get such a blessing even if they beg for it. For example, me.” Shen Dongling said, “If I were Second Sister, I would definitely not reject it. Instead, I would feel very happy. Isn’t stability what women want the most?”

Shen Yue was a little impatient at first, but when she heard the last part, she couldn’t help but pause. A strange feeling slowly rose in her heart, and she couldn’t help but look at Shen Dongling. Shen Dongling’s head was slightly lowered, making her look especially docile.

She seemed to be an easy person to manipulate.

A thought slowly surfaced in Shen Yue’s mind.
