667 The Incident (6)
“She’s a little girl after. No matter how calm she pretends to be, she’s by nature timid and will get flustered easily.” Chang Zaiqing smiled gently. “Master, why don’t you use the unconventional method? For example, tell Fifth Miss Shen that her parents or brother are in danger or something. No matter how calm Fifth Miss Shen is, she’ll panic when her family is involved.”
When Shen Wan heard that, he first thought about it carefully. Then, he held Chang Zaiqing’s hand tightly and said, “Although there are some flaws in this idea, it’s worth a try. If I plan it out well, it might really work.” He looked at Chang Zaiqing excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration. “You can always surprise me.”
Chang Zaiqing lowered her head slightly and said with a smile, “Master, now that I’m married to you, I’ll naturally do my best to help you. Although doing this to Fifth Miss Shen is not right, in my heart, nothing is more important than my family.”
Scheming against Shen Miao like this was vicious. Although Shen Wan admired Chang Zaiqing’s brilliance for him now, when he looked back in the future, he would inevitably feel that Chang Zaiqing was ruthless. However, it would be different if Chang Zaiqing took the initiative to say that she placed her family above everything else. Not only did it not make Shen Wan think badly of her, but it made Shen Wan admire Chang Zaiqing even more, thinking that she was broad-minded and considerate.
Therefore, Shen Wan looked at Chang Zaiqing affectionately and said, “With such a wife, what else can I ask for?”
Chang Zaiqing also said docilely, “I’m lucky to have met Master too. I won’t forget how well Master treats me.” The more docile she was, the more Shen Wan liked her, but he did not see the smugness that flashed across Chang Zaiqing’s eyes.
In Chang Zaiqing’s eyes, men and love were not trustworthy. Only those who had truly experienced poverty would know the value of wealth. She wanted to hold on to Shen Wan tightly, not because of Shen Wan, but because of the life that Shen Wan could provide her. Chang Zaiqing was different from Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruoqiu still loved Shen Wan in her heart, so Chen Ruoqiu would lose her rationality because of Shen Wan’s actions and words. What Chang Zaiqing loved was the wealth of the Shen family and her status as the wife of an official.
Chang Zaiqing knew in her heart that in order to capture this man’s heart, she had to show her talent and make Shen Wan feel that she was useful to him.
Chang Zaiqing did a good job.
Shen Wan sat with Chang Zaiqing for a while before getting up to leave. He still had some official matters to attend to, so he seriously instructed the servants beside Chang Zaiqing to take care of her before leaving with his servants.
When he returned to his study, his personal servant slowly walked over with a letter and said, “Master, the guard at the door said that someone sent a letter to you, but he doesn’t know who sent it.”
Shen Wan took it and saw that nothing was written on the envelope. It was obvious that the sender was afraid of being found out. As officials in the court, they would occasionally receive some confidential letters, so Shen Wan did not dare to delay and quickly opened the letter.
The first line of the letter that came into sight made Shen Wan freeze on the spot. “Third Master Shen, do you know that the woman you dote on is actually someone else’s wife?”
Shen Wan almost lost his balance. He held the table with one hand and composed himself before quickly scanning the rest of the letter.
The letter was written extremely simply, but the content of the letter was not simple at all. The letter said that Chang Zaiqing had already married someone in Liuzhou and had a son. Most importantly, at this time, Chang Zaiqing had yet to divorce her original husband. Strictly speaking, Shen Wan could even be considered to have snatched someone else’s wife and could be sued in court!
Shen Wan did not believe it at first and looked at the letter with disdain. He even wondered if this letter was sent by Chen Ruoqiu to provoke him. However, when he saw the last line, his body trembled and he froze. “There is a small red mole in her private parts.” 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢
This was a hard truth.
