633 Divorce (2)
At the thought of this, Chen Ruoqiu felt a little uneasy.
Hua Yi walked in from outside and said, “Madam, Old Madam got a few bolts of fabric and asked you to send one to Miss Chang.”
Old Madam Shen had never taken Chang Zaiqing seriously since the beginning. Usually, she would pretend that this person did not exist in the mansion. Why did she suddenly think of Chang Zaiqing today? Chen Ruoqiu frowned. “Old Madam can just get soone to send the fabric. Why does she want to go?”
Hua Yi was also a little confused and said, “It’s probably because she thinks you’re very close to Miss Chang.”
Chen Ruoqiu was feeling uneasy. Since Old Madam Shen asked her to do sothing and she could take a walk to distract herself for a while, she imdiately put on her outer clothes and walked towards the west courtyard.
At this mont, the sky was already dark, but it was not ti to sleep. Chen Ruoqiu guessed that Chang Zaiqing must be awake, so she did not send soone to inform her.
When she arrived at the west courtyard, to her surprise, the lights in the west courtyard were turned off early. Chen Ruoqiu was a little puzzled. When Nanny Zhao saw her, she was stunned and seed to be a little flustered. She said, “Third Madam, why are you here?”
“Old Madam asked to send the fabric to Sister Chang,” Chen Ruoqiu said. She looked in the direction of the bedroom and asked, “Is Sister Chang already asleep?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Nanny Zhao said, “Miss has been feeling well these past few days, so she went to bed early.”
Chen Ruoqiu found it a little strange. She felt that Nanny Zhao’s expression was very unnatural. She looked at the surrounding maids, who were all lowering their heads, as if they were afraid of seeing sothing. Coincidentally, there was a faint sound coming out of the bedroom. They could not hear it clearly. However, when the sound ca, Nanny Zhao looked even more nervous.
Although Chen Ruoqiu was curious, she did not want to interfere with Chang Zaiqing’s personal life. In her opinion, Chang Zaiqing was a knife that she could use to deal with the first branch. Especially these days, bad things happened one after another. The angrier she was, the more she wanted to see the first branch suffer.
Chen Ruoqiu asked her maids to put down the fabric. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Nanny Zhao followed Chen Ruoqiu’s gaze and saw a small sachet on the bedroom window that was closest to the side of the courtyard. The sachet was dark red and embroidered with egrets. It was very exquisite. Chen Ruoqiu walked over and held the sachet in her hand. When Nanny Zhao wanted to stop her, it was too late.
When Shi Qing and Hua Yi saw the sachet, they couldn’t help but gape in shock.
On the day of Shen Yue’s marriage, Chen Ruoqiu had once seen Chang Zaiqing carry an extrely beautiful sachet. The sachet was exquisitely made, and Chen Ruoqiu rarely liked it. Chang Zaiqing was quite generous. She gave the sachet to Chen Ruoqiu. Later, because Chen Ruoqiu wanted to make Shen Wan happy, she gave the sachet to Shen Wan. The sachet was embroidered with egrets, so it did not look feminine. Chen Ruoqiu rembered that because the sachet contained tea leaves, it emitted the fragrant sll of tea leaves. However, she found the tea fragrance too sharp, so she added so dried osmanthus leaves into it.
There were no two identical things in the world. Even if Chang Zaiqing was skillful and made an identical sachet, not every sachet was filled with osmanthus leaves.
Chen Ruoqiu picked up the sachet. Her hand was actually trembling. In the end, she put it under her nose and sniffed it determinedly.
The sweet sll of osmanthus leaves mixed with various tea leaves slowly entered Chen Ruoqiu’s nose, and she suddenly closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze made Shi Qing and Hua Yi shiver.
