[1] The Rebirth of The Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

Chapter 153: Pushing the Waves

Especially during the past few days, Chen Rou Qiu had been running around due to Shen Yue's matter and she had become haggard and did not take care of herself. In addition the sloopy and unassuming way of kicking up a fuss looked somewhat ridiculous in Shen Wan's eyes. He looked at Chen Ruo Qiu faintly, "If you think like this, then just think like this." He then turned around and left with a shake of his sleeves.

Chen Rou Qiu was stunned and stood shakily rooted on the spot as the maids by her side, Shi Qing and Hua Yi, quickly supported her. A fear gradually emerged in Chen Rou Qiu's heart. She suddenly felt that some things had slowly changed and the most scariest thing was that she did not know when did it start to change.

The din in Qiu Shui Yuan quickly spread to other courtyards, like the long shelved Western courtyard.

The Western courtyard was very spacious and neat and after Cang Zai Qing stayed there, she would often move some plants, making the Western courtyard have a unique and elegant air. At this moment Cang Zai Qing was sitting in the room and kept the letter on the table and place it casually one the desk.

As Zhao Mama opened the windows so that the room would not be stuffy, she spoke to Cang Zai Qing, "Is it a letter from Eldest Shen Furen?"

Cang Zai Qing nodded her head.

Actually Cang Zai Qing was unable to tell if the letter that Luo Xue Yan sent was it actually from Luo Xue Yan or Shen Miao. When she thought about Shen Miao, a young female with a pair of clear eyes that seemed to see through everything came to her mind and made her unknowingly tremble. Luo Xue Yan indicated in the letter that Cang Zai Qing had not gone to the Shen mansion for a long time and if she was free, she could come over to the Shen mansion for a chat and that Luo Xue Yan still had the heart to find a good family for Cang Zai Qing.

It said to find a good family but Cang Zai Qing thought about something else from this letter.

Some time back she had changed targets from Shen Xin to deal with Shen Wan and it was much more relaxing for Cang Zai Qing to deal with Shen Wan than expected. There was no other reason other than Shen Wan was one who like elegance and Cang Zai Qing was just his appetite. After the matter with Shen Yue and Shen Dong Ling, the contradiction between Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu got bigger and bigger and he quite like coming to Western courtyard. Cang Zai Qing had became the beauty to speak comforting words and in the course of time Shen Wan was used to coming here and Cang Zai Qing did not neglect that Shen Wan's eyes had more and more appreciation.

The iron had to be strike when it was hot. Wasn't now that 'hot' time?

Just as she was thinking, the servant outside came in to report that Shen Wan had arrived.

Zhao Mama quickly retreated and when Shen Wan entered the room, he saw Cang Zai Qing holding a letter in her hands, reading with relish. He then curiously asked, "Whose letter is it that made you read so intently?"

Cang Zai Qing then put down the letter in her hand with a smile like she had just saw Shen Wan coming in, "It is sent from Eldest Shen Furen."

The smile on Shen Wan's face lingered and he pretending to ask without thoughts, "Why did Eldest Sao send a letter?"

Cang Zai Qing smiled, "Shen family's Eldest Furen is a good person and wants to match make me. Most probably she sees that I do not have any support at such an age. It is of good intentions." She said candidly and looking at Shen Wan, she continued, "If Third Master is free on some day, do help me to take a look. Perhaps one would know the 'good family' that Eldest Furen mention."

She smiled happily and her features became more graceful and moving but Shen Wan gradually could not smile.

Things were not usually alone but found in pairs, this little matter in the Shen residence was also talked about in Rong Jing Tang.
