“People always liked to compare the first branch with the third branch.” Shen Miao picked up the teacup and blew at the tea leaves on the surface. She smiled and continued, “But my family is alright. At least I have a brother. My brother is about to reach the age of marriage. In no time, he will be engaged. When I have a sister-in-law and a nephew, this house will be quite crowded and lively.” Shen Miao seemed to be a little smug. “But the third branch is not as lively as our first branch.”

Chang Zaiqing first felt that Shen Miao was probably naive and was at odds with the third branch. However, when she heard everything Shen Miao said, she suddenly thought of something and her expression changed.

That’s right. In the first branch, Luo Xueyan was foolish and straightforward. Shen Xin didn’t take in any concubines, so she didn’t have to be wary of being schemed against. However, Chang Zaiqing almost forgot that there was still Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu was the eldest son of Shen Xin. He was young and promising. If he married a wife from a powerful family, even if Chang Zaiqing kept a low profile, she would not be able to get anything.

When Shen Miao saw the change in Chang Zaiqing’s expression, her eyes turned cold.

In her previous life, when Chang Zaiqing moved in with the first branch, Shen Qiu was already harmed. After Shen Miao married Prince Ding, no one in the entire first branch could become a threat to Chang Zaiqing. With such a smooth start, how could Chang Zaiqing let this good opportunity slip?

However, it was different now. Shen Qiu was still doing very well. With a healthy and living heir, the possibility of her becoming the legitimate wife of Shen Xin would forever be gone.

What kind of path would this woman who liked to weigh the pros and cons choose?

Shen Miao picked up the pastry on the table and said with a smile, “What a pity. When Grandpa was still around, he used to say that Third Uncle is the smartest in the Shen family. He’s handsome and gentlemanly. If he had a son, his son would definitely be as smart as him. Unfortunately, Second Sister is the only child he has. Second Sister is about to get married. When Second Sister gets married, there will only be Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the third branch. They will definitely feel lonely.”

Chang Zaiqing was originally listening absent-mindedly, but as she listened, her heart started to race.

Speaking of which, the situation in the first branch and the third branch was almost similar. Shen Xin and Shen Wan only had one woman. However, Shen Yue was two years older than Shen Miao. Shen Yue was about to get married, and the third branch didn’t have an heir. It seemed like the third branch was easier to get into.

“Auntie Chang and Third Aunt have similar personalities, and, I dare say, look alike in some way. You are both gentle and know a lot about elegant things. Those who don’t know might think that you’re sisters.” Shen Miao looked Chang Zaiqing straight in the eyes and said unhurriedly, “However, in my opinion, Auntie Chang is more outstanding than Third Aunt, because… Auntie Chang is younger.”

The corners of Chang Zaiqing’s mouth curled up subconsciously. She knew that the people in the Shen family compared her to Chen Ruoqiu. She was also a talented woman like Chen Ruoqiu. However, Shen Miao was right. No matter how beautiful a woman was, when she was old, she would begin to wither. In comparison, Chang Zaiqing looked more charming. Moreover, Chen Ruoqiu thought that she was the daughter of a noble family and was even a little arrogant. However, Chang Zaiqing had grown up in a humble family and knew when to make compromises. When it was time to lower her head, she would lower it. This was why people found her likable.

Chang Zaiqing thought with a dark gaze that she was better than Chen Ruoqiu.

Shen Miao picked up the tea and drank it. The tea tasted bitter, but she drank it like honey and smiled.
