At this moment, Ren Wanyun was carefully writing invitations. The sun shone through the window and on her. Her facial features were as gentle as a girl’s. Shen Gui was adjusting his collar when he saw her. He couldn’t help but smile and walk to her side to hug her from behind.
“Ah.” Chen Ruoqiu said with reproach, “Master, what are you doing? This letter is completely wasted.”
“Let me see.” Shen Wan picked up the letter and read it. He commented, “The handwriting is beautiful, just like the one who wrote it. How is it wasted?”
Chen Ruoqiu blushed. When Shen Wan saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
Even after so many years, his wife still had an attractive charm that made him unable to take a liking to other women.
This was why Chen Ruoqiu was actually smart. She was the only one who could make her husband infatuated. She would become whatever woman Shen Wan liked. Her personality could be faked, and her clothes could be changed. As time passed, Shen Wan not only didn’t get tired of her, but also he found her even more lovable.
“Second Sister-in-law should be back today.” Chen Ruoqiu leaned into Shen Wan’s arms. “I wonder if Yue is used to the food in the temple.”
Shen Wan laughed. “What are you worried about? Second Sister-in-law won’t let Yue starve and freeze.” Seeing that Chen Ruoqiu still looked worried, he smiled and said, “You always treat Yue like a child. Yue is already a big girl now. In a few years, she will be old enough to get married. What will you do then?”
“If Yue is getting married, I naturally have to choose a perfect marriage for her. She can’t be like Fifth Mother…” She suddenly stopped.
That night, Old Madam Shen said to Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu that she agreed to give Shen Miao to Prince Yu to get Prince Yu to help the second and third branches of the Shen family. Later, Chen Ruoqiu told her husband about it. Shen Wan naturally agreed. He had been obsessed with power his entire life, but no matter how he climbed up, his power and reputation were not as good as Shen Xin’s. He had been jealous of the first branch for many years, and he had no feelings for Shen Miao at all. If Prince Yu got Shen Miao and was happy, he would put in a good word for Shen Wan in the imperial court. As for what would happen to Shen Miao in the future, Shen Wan did not care at all.
“I wonder if Second Sister-in-law has settled this matter.” Shen Wan’s expression became serious.
......
Seeing this, Chen Ruoqiu’s heart sank slightly. She knew that her husband had always placed power first. She couldn’t help but feel sad for Shen Miao.
