Chapter 309: Doing It for Her (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“Miss, are you planning to help Fu’er?” Gu Yu asked carefully, but she had a strange feeling that Shen Miao did not care much about the people of Rongjing Hall. Now that Shen Miao was no longer a kind-hearted person, she felt that it was impossible for her to help Fu’er.

“Of course I’ll help.” Shen Miao said calmly, “Every mistake Old Madam makes is our chance.”

“Miss, do you want to bribe Fu’er?” Jingzhe asked, “But will Fu’er be bribed? Fu’er was the most loyal to Old Madam in the past.”

“If your loyalty is not reciprocated, you will be more encouraged to betray. When your dog gets crazy, it will bite you the hardest,” Shen Miao said indifferently.

…

For a few days in a row, time in the Shen family passed peacefully. Jing Chuchu did not linger in the west courtyard anymore. Instead, she often went out to shop with a few guards, saying that she wanted to see the prosperity of the capital. No one stopped her. To the people of the west courtyard, they were more than happy that Jing Chuchu didn’t bother them.

However, what Jing Chuchu was wearing was getting more exquisite day by day. Although Old Madam Shen also gave money to the two siblings, because of her stingy personality, she did not give them too much. Even Shen Yue was surprised that Jing Chuchu was dressed so beautifully. However, when she asked, Jing Chuchu only said that she brought some money when she came to the capital. Even Jing Guansheng became generous when it came to tipping the servants.

Everyone said that it was because the Jing siblings had broadened their horizons after coming to the capital. They had become generous and more and more like people from the capital.

In Rongjing Hall, Old Madam Shen looked at Jing Chuchu in front of her, and a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. “Chuchu, how have you been recently? Are you used to being in the capital?”

“Thanks to Old Madam, I am doing very well,” Jing Chuchu said.

“Since you’re doing well, why haven’t you used the drug I gave you until now?” Old Madam Shen stared at Jing Chuchu and said in a serious tone. If one was timid, looking at that fierce-looking face, they would probably cry from fear .

Jing Chuchu lowered her head and said without changing her voice, “Old Madam, I can’t even get close to Shen Qiu now. I really can’t find a chance.”

Old Madam Shen gave the drug to Jing Chuchu long ago and asked her to drug Shen Qiu as soon as she found a chance. Unexpectedly, after so many days, nothing happened and Jing Chuchu did not do anything at all.

“You’ve been wandering outside all day and only returned home late. It’ll be strange if you can find a chance.” Old Madam Shen couldn’t help but sneer. “Chuchu, don’t you wanna do it? If you don’t, then forget it.”

“It’s not that I don’t,” Jing Chuchu quickly said. These days, she would secretly meet up with Sun Cainan outside every day. She pretended not to know Sun Cainan’s identity, and Sun Cainan treated her gently and gave her clothes and jewelry. It was precisely because of these things that Jing Chuchu hesitated. Compared to Shen Qiu, who had to go to the bitter cold place in the northwest for a year, marrying Sun Cainan was obviously a much better choice. However, whether Sun Cainan was willing to marry her or not was another problem. Jing Chuchu had always kept her virginity because she knew men very well. She wanted them to see but not touch, touch but not be able to taste, taste but not be full. This way, she could keep the man interested in her. She had indeed infatuated Sun Cainan over the past few days, but Sun Cainan was after all the son of the minister. On the other hand, she was just from a small family. Even if Sun Cainan liked her, Sun Tianzheng would not agree to his son marrying a girl from a lowly background, but Jing Chuchu didn’t want to be just a concubine.
