Chapter 509 - 509 Chang Zaiqing (4)
Over the past few days, Shen Qiu had been busy dealing with the matters in the capital. Even Luo Ling, who had just taken a position at the Ministry of War, was very busy. When the two of them were free, they would gather together and talk. As for Luo Tan, she was tired after playing outside for the entire day and returned to her room to rest early. Late at night, only the light in Shen Miao’s room was still on.
Seeing that Shen Miao had no intention of going to rest, Jingzhe and Gu Yu thought that she was worried about what happened at Princess Ming An’s place today. After everyone left, Shen Miao rubbed her forehead, not turning a page of the book in front of her for a long time.
She was not worried about Princess Ming An at all. After being warned by Huangfu Hao, Princess Ming An would stop causing trouble for the time being. What troubled her was Chang Zaiqing, who dropped in on them all of a sudden.
That day, when she went to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop to test Ji Yushu, she saw a figure on the way back. At that time, she was taken aback. When she looked closer again, the figure had already disappeared from the crowd. At first, Shen Miao thought that she was mistaken, but now that she thought about it, she wasn’t. At that time, she saw Chang Zaiqing.
Some things had already changed, but due to perhaps fate, some people still showed up in the exact timeline as her previous life.
Shen Xin’s official career started to go downhill not only because his military power was taken, but also because there were traitors in the mansion. His bravery on the battlefield made him fearless of any problems that might arise. However, in the end, he was forced into a desperate situation by Fu Xiuyi, and a large part of it was not just because of Fu Xiuyi cracked down on the Shen army.`
Shen Qiu died because of Jing Chuchu, and the arrival of Chang Zaiqing would eventually cause Luo Xueyan to lose her life.
It was true that Chang Zaiqing was from Liuzhou. At this time in Shen Miao’s previous life, Chang Zaiqing also dropped in on the Shen family all of a sudden. At that time, the Shen family had yet to split up. Chang Zaiqing was gentle and friendly. Everyone in the Shen family liked her, including Luo Xueyan.
Luo Xueyan was a general. In the Shen family, Luo Xueyan couldn’t get along well with Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu because they were too scheming. However, after Chang Zaiqing arrived, the two of them became close friends.
Shen Miao used to think that Chang Zaiqing was a good person. At that time, she was already married to Fu Xiuyi. When she came back a few times, she saw Chang Zaiqing and chatted happily with her. Chang Zaiqing was very good at talking. With Chen Ruoqiu, she would talk about poetry, and with Luo Xueyan, she would talk about military strategy. She would also teach Shen Miao about how to win her husband over. She was considerate and could always come up with ideas. Shen Miao liked her very much.
Later, she found out that Chang Zaiqing had never been married until the age of 26 because a young master of a rich family in Liuzhou wanted to make her a concubine. That family was rich and powerful, and no one in Liuzhou dared to challenge them. No matter how outstanding Chang Zaiqing was, no man dared to take the risk to go to the Chang family to propose marriage. After so many years, that family became more and more overboard. Forced to a corner, Chang Zaiqing left home for the capital to seek refuge with her father’s old friend.
Shen Miao was very sympathetic to what happened to Chang Zaiqing. She thought that Chang Zaiqing would continue to live in the Shen mansion as a guest until Chen Ruoqiu took out a marriage contract. It was actually a marriage contract between Shen Xin and Chang Zaiqing. It was probably written by Old General Shen and Chang Hu back then.
