Chapter 157 (2/2)
However in spite of that, it was a lawsuit with a lose-lose situation for both side Shen Wan's career was obstructed because of this and a lot of money was spent Yet the Chen family orst off in comparison
The Chen family had somewhat of a reputation but because they were a scholarly family, they were not well-off in terht this lawsuit because he did not want others to look down on the Chen fa After fighting the lawsuit for two months, it was not too far off if one were tobankrupt
Because of this reatly affected and bla on Chen Rou Qiu Chen Rou Qiu's mother also had some complaints Chen Rou Qiu's heart was hurt by Shen Wan and she was very upset that Shen Wan disregarding thewas of two faced but she was most upset that there was no news of Shen Yue till noith her parents turning their back on her, she felt as of all her hopes turned to dust and she had reached the end of the road
And what she did not knoas that her daughter, which was not found, was currently in the residence of the Qin Prince, on Yan Qing Lane
In the residence of the Qin Prince, Shen Yue was dressing up in front of the mirror
The clothes that she ere of the highest grade Even though the Shen family was a wealthy official family, it was still incomparable with the fabric that the Imperial Palace of the Qin country used which was extremely luxurious She looked like an entire different person when she wore it Shen Yue followed Chen Rou Qiu's instructions and would wear very refinery, without having gold or silver on her but currently her appearance looked much more luxurious
Naturally it was so since Shen Yue had becoFu Hao's concubine
Thea cup of hot tea to Shen Yue but there was impatience in Shen Yue's expression
She had a face that looked like flowers fluttering against the , it was considered as gentle and could speak coFu Hao still had some interest in Shen Miao and would pick topics on Shen Miao One day HuangFu Hao asked her frivolously if she illing to becoht before agreeing to it on the next day
She had no route of retreat at all
The neere spreading all around in abuzz and the Shen and Chen fa Zai Qin was currently pregnant and if she gave birth to a son then she feared that she, a daughter, would be thrown at the back of the Shen family's mind Even if it was not a son, because of Chen Rou Qiu had caused Shen Wan to be pointed at, Shen Wan and Old Shen Furen would also hate her Shen Dong Ling had occupied her na fa Bi doted and favoured 'Shen Yue' a lot and the ret filled Shen Yue's heart
Noas she thought of Shen Dong Ling's co to her, Shen Yue became very resentful
She hated Shen Wan's ruthlessness and also hated that Chen Rou Qiu was disappointing At this moment she also understood that with her current self, it was not possible to approach Fu Xiu Yi and if she were to return to the Shen fae for her due to the anger he had for Chen Rou Qiu
Shen Yue also had the unique characteristics of the Shen fa cold towards relationshi+p Shen Wan and her had been Father and daughter for sobut now, Shen Yue looked at Shen Wan with er
Shen Yu thought that instead of being Fu Hao's concubine HuangFu Hao was handso, the most of all was that he was the Crown Prince of Qin country If in the future she was able to have HuangFu Hao's favour, perhaps she would be able to rise up the ranks The Fu Hao's and perhaps could even protect Chen Rou Qiu and herself
Thus Shen Yue because HuangFu Hao's concubine
In all fairness, HuangFu Hao treated Shen Yue rather well and there was also a reason to deliberately win Shen Yue's favour However currently in Ming Qi, a, Shen Yue was the Fu Hao enjoyed the taste of having a Di daughter of an official being his concubine and was currently coveting this freshness
Shen Yue asked the maid beside her, “The letter for the Chen family has been sent already?”
The servant said, “It is on route and most probably reached”
Shen Yue drank a sip of tea in response
Chen Rou Qiu received a letter
One did not knoas it that send the letter into her room Currently the Master and Furen did not want to see Chen Rou Qiu as it was her who greatly undermined the Chen family The public fund had been reduced a lot thus her Older Brothers and SaoSao see her like a spirit that stir up trouble in the fa well and would sio out
She looked around and did not see anyone thus she opened it up curiously and a letter fell out When she open it up, she was shocked with the look
Chen Rou Qiu could not be clearer of the words on the letter as it was Shen Yue's handwriting Shen Yue's soft handwriting was learnt fro Furen that was searched by Chen Rou Qiu specifically for her As Shen Yue's strength eak, she could only learn seventh to eighth tens of wang Furen's calligraphy thus Chen Rou Qiu was able to recognise Shen Yue's handwriting with one look
She very quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else in the rooh to open it up It had indicated for her to go to a rather isolated inn to n off at the bottom However Chen Rou Qiu understood in her heart that it was definitely Shen Yue as secretlyup with her
The stone in Chen Rou Qiu's heart was finally put down For Shen Yue to write to her and seeing that the steady handwriting, she should be safe now The worries that she previously had were all swept away and Chen Rou Qiu gradually calmed down
These days each even came continuously that it made her shock and unable to normalise the worst of it was that she felt that life was hopeless However Shen Yue's letter seehter Chen Rou QIu's heart was suddenly full of fighting spirits At least she was not alone How could Cang Zai Qing, that kind of wo still wanted to give birth to Shen Wan's son? She wanted to see if she had that ability
Having a pillar in her heart, Chen Rou Qiu gradually calmed down Later in the day, the servants by Chen Rou Qiu's side also discovered that Chen Rou Qiu's raceful Third Shen Furen Even when a servant bump onto her, Chen Rou Qiu would only just smile
If a more observant and s spirit in her eyes had rekindled and burning brightly
On thethe next day, Chen Rou Qiu went out
No one in the Chen family stopped her Chen Furen was solared by the Chen Master, she then did not speak Chen Rou Qiu's Older Brothers and SaoSaos were even more dismissive If it was in the past, Chen Rou Qiu would have quarreled with the few SaoSaos no matter what but she did not have the mood to do so today She wore an inconspicuous brown dress and this dress had a style that was a few years old, one that Chen Furen had worn before She did not bring any money when she ca rashly She only took soht a few pieces of clothes Afterwards she was busy with the lawsuit that she did not have time to purchase and now the Chen family was unable to afford it
Chen Rou Qiu could only press down the hu unsuitable and outdated clothes She brought along a bamboo hat to wear so that others would not be able to see her but even if they were to see her, one feared that they would not be able to link this shabby dressed woman with the talented fe capital
In order to save e When the horse carriage reached the Eastern city, Chen Rou Qiu paid for it before heading to the inn as indicated in the letter
Upon entering the inn, Chen Rou Qiu sized the surrounding up and did not see Shen Yue's presence at all Just when her heart was doubtful, a waiter walked towards her and took a glance before asking, “Is Furen looking for a Young Lady?”
Chen Rou Qiu was startled before nodding her head With her and Shen Wan's lawsuit, everyone in Ding capital are of it and she felt a little conscious and feared to be recognised and pointed out, and even more afraid that Shen Yue was pointed out That waiter then said, “May Furen come with me”
The waiter brought Chen Rou Qiu to a rooht in front of the doors before speaking with a s for is inside” Then he left
Chen Rou Qiu pushed the door open to enter and saw that there was a young fe in front of the table in the roonise that back no matter what If it wasn't Shen Yue, who else could it be?
Chen Rou Qiu closed the door before crying out, “Yue-er!”
Shen Yue turned her head and could not help but was startled when she saw Chen Rou Qiu's appearance It was only when Chen Rou Qiu came forward and held her hands that Shen Yue saw Chen Rou Qiu's face and shouted, “Mother!” But then she frowned, “How did you become like this?”
If she did not see herself, Shen Yue would not believe that this sientle mother
When Chen Rou Qiu heard it, a flash of resentritted teeth, “If it weren't that slut, Cang Zai Qing, and your heartless Father, hoould I be like this!” After finishi+ng, she that looked at Shen Yue eagerly, “Yue-er, where have you been these days? Do you know Mother's heart is so worried about you? Are you alright? Did so happen?”
Chen Rou Qiu only had Shen Yue, a daughter and would dote and love her on normal days so this concern for her was not fake When Shen Yue heard it, her heart felt sour but there was still a smile on her face, “Mother, don't need to be scared I a well I have found a backer that is even richer than the wang family With this backer, the Shen family will not dare to bully us in the future”
Chen Rou Qiu asked in doubt, “Who are you talking about?”
Shen Yue hesitated a bit before saying, “His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin country”
Chen Rou Qiu cried out in surprise but heard Shen Yue quickly explaining, “His Highness the Crown Prince treated me very well Initially when I left the Shen residence, one had encountered sohness the Crown Prince that saved me Afterwards one wanted to send me back but due to the matters of the Shen residence, I stayed in the residence of the Crown Prince His Highness the Crown Prince is a good person Mother, do not think that it is not good It is really better for hness the Crown Prince then those i fa Ling right? If I return to the Shen residence, Grandmother and Father would be even unhappier with e? Mother, just go along with ht?”
Chen Rou Qiu initial instinct was that it was not good but her expression becaFu Hao saved Shen Yue However as the other person was not froh Chen Rou Qiu did not understand the matters of court, she was influenced but why she seen and heard froilance
“He is after all from Qin country and moreover a Crown Prince…”
Seeing that Chen Rou Qiu was still disagreeable, Shen Yue's heart harden a little and told a lie, “His Highness the Crown Prince said that in the future, upon returning to Qin country, he would bestow a new identity for me and let me be his CeFei (aka Secondary Consort)”
“These words are genuine?” Chen Rou Qiu was in a daze If Shen Yue left Ming Qi and upon arriving Qin country, becalory and splendor After experiencing the hts were different from before What was the use of sentiments? Sentiments were just illusions, when floere lovely and the moon was round, naturally relationshi+ps were close but in a blink of an eye, one could be treated coldly And those stink of s that one could truly relied on Without money, even the Chen family could mock and ridicule If a Crown Prince's CeFei came from their family… Chen Rou Qiu's heart started to sloarmed up
“Absolutely true” Shen Yue said
Chen Rou Qiu hesitated for a , “The matter can be discussed later, there is still one matter at the moment”
Shen Yue asked, “What matter?”
“That slut Cang Zai Qing had schemed behind my back, behaved one way in front of me and another behindbut your Father If one had your Father's protection, hoould I become like this? He did not even take into consideration the ten over years of husband and wife relationshi+p I a to let him live with a clear conscience! I hate it!”
