650 Infighting (1)

“Something is bothering me,” Shen Wan replied with a bitter smile.

Chang Zaiqing patted Shen Wan’s hand and smiled. “Master, if you have anything on your mind, why don’t you tell me? Perhaps I can help.”

Shen Wan looked at Chang Zaiqing’s stomach and said, “Forget it, your priority is to rest well at home. Don’t let anything bother you. Besides, what’s troubling me is related to the imperial court.”

Chang Zaiqing was not discouraged. She smiled and said, “Before I moved in with you, you treated me as a confidante and would always tell me what was on your mind, be it the trivial matters at home or the matters of the imperial court. You’ve never been so distant. Why is it that as long as we are together, you’re estranged from me?” She shook her head and said, “I’m not just a woman who only knows how to sew clothes and grow flowers in the backyard. Although I’m not very smart, it’s much easier for two people to think of a solution together than one person.”

Chang Zaiqing was different from Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruoqiu was a real “delicate wife”. In the past, she would never interfere in Shen Wan’s career. When Shen Wan’s career was flourishing, it was good to have such an obedient wife who minded her own business. However, if anything happened, Chen Ruoqiu would not be able to help Shen Wan at all.

Chang Zaiqing was different. Before the two of them got together, they regarded each other as friends. They would talk about everything. Chang Zaiqing was quite knowledgeable and could occasionally hit the nail on the head about matters in the imperial court.

Hearing Chang Zaiqing say that, Shen Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

Not only did Chang Zaiqing have her own opinion on the matters of the imperial court, but more importantly, Chang Zaiqing was also a woman. Getting Shen Miao to marry Prince Zhou now was not as easy as two years ago. If it were two years ago, before Shen Miao’s personality changed drastically, it would naturally be very easy. He only needed to say a few nice words to make Shen Miao believe him. Now, it would not work. Moreover, his relationship with the first branch was tense, so he could not persuade Shen Xin either. Perhaps he could get some useful insights from Chang Zaiqing.

At the thought of this, Shen Wan looked at Chang Zaiqing and asked tentatively, “If I want Fifth Miss to marry Prince Zhou, what do you think I should do?”

“Prince Zhou?” Chang Zaiqing was stunned and asked curiously, “Why do you want Fifth Miss to marry Prince Zhou?”

Shen Wan chuckled. “I’m just wondering.” Although he already regarded Chang Zaiqing as his woman, he had to keep his mouth shut when working for Prince Ding. Otherwise, he would die a horrible death should the words leaked out.

Chang Zaiqing was a smart person. She quickly understood and did not continue asking. She said, “Fifth Miss Shen is General Shen’s beloved daughter. Now that Prince Zhou already has a princess consort, if Fifth Miss Shen marries over, she will at most be a secondary consort. General Shen and his wife will not agree.”

Shen Wan frowned and nodded, looking troubled.

Chang Zaiqing saw this and her heart skipped a beat.

No matter what, being a secondary consort was definitely not a good thing for Shen Miao. Although Chang Zaiqing did not understand what Shen Wan was up to, she was certain that once this matter was done, Shen Miao would not have a good time. Thinking of that girl’s piercing eyes that seemed to be able to see through her mind, Chang Zaiqing felt a little uneasy. For some reason, Chang Zaiqing had an instinctive fear and uneasiness towards Shen Miao, as if Shen Miao’s existence would pose a threat to her own existence. Chang Zaiqing was a person who wanted to be safe. Therefore, if she could get rid of Shen Miao, it might not be a bad thing for her.
