674 Murky Waters (1)

A shocking scandal broke out in the capital.

Early in the morning, a middle-aged man knelt at the entrance of the governnt office and beat the drum to petition. He said that Third Master Shen of the Shen family, Shen Wan, forcefully snatched his wife and took her in as a concubine. Although the man looked like a loafer, he had a glib tongue and was eloquent in voicing his grievance. Not long after, he attracted a large group of commoners over to watch the show. In less than an hour, everyone in the capital knew about this.

Because of the commotion caused by the lawsuit between the Chen family and the Shen family a while back, the people in the capital knew a lot about this legendary concubine, Chang Zaiqing. Shen Wan was willing to divorce his first wife for her. So nosy people found out that Chang Zaiqing was the daughter of Old General Shen’s old friend. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and elegant. Her personality was even better than Chen Ruoqiu’s. She was even pregnant with Shen Wan’s child. Naturally, people would understand why Shen Wan wanted to marry her.

However, early this morning, this middle-aged man knelt at the entrance of the governnt office with a young boy and slapped the faces of those people who said that Chang Zaiqing deserved to enter the Shen family.

Liuzhou and the capital were far away. Back then, Chang Zaiqing ca to seek refuge with the Shen family and claid to be unmarried. As opposed to Shen Wan snatching Chang Zaiqing from the man, people found it more convincing that Chang Zaiqing was the one who threw herself at Shen Wan. Shen Wan was known to be a smart person, but in the end, he was fooled by Chang Zaiqing and divorced his first wife for a married woman.

As for what the man said, no one doubted it. Firstly, it was because the man had the marriage contract with Chang Zaiqing’s na on it. Secondly, the young boy who ca with him really looked identical to Chang Zaiqing, but he was clearly at a loss.

Everyone treated this matter as a joke that was unheard of in decades. It was said that there were a lot of ugly things going on in big families, but they did not expect the masters of big families to be so gullible. In the past, this matter could have been suppressed, and it would not have spread throughout the entire capital so quickly. However, today, this man appeared suddenly and sounded the drum early in the morning outside the governnt office. It was difficult to suppress it. Moreover, the people in the governnt office were also a bunch of fence-sitters. Now that Shen Wan and his entire family were locked up, they didn’t care about Shen Wan and also joined in the fun.

In a remote courtyard in the Chen family’s mansion, Chen Ruoqiu laughed when she heard the news Shi Qing got from outside.

Now, she was getting more and more lazy and slovenly. The more this was the case, the less people liked her in the Chen family. However, she probably did not care much about her appearance anymore. The purpose of her life now was to pull the Shen family down. Without a doubt, Chen Ruoqiu had done it.

After being husband and wife with Shen Wan for so many years, Chen Ruoqiu more or less knew the shady deals Shen Wan had done. She bribed soone who was working for Shen Wan to send the evidence to Shen Wan’s sworn enemy and was waiting for the good news. Finally, the good news ca.

The deeper Chen Ruoqiu’s love for Shen Wan was, the deeper her hatred towards him was. It was Shen Wan who made her so miserable, so she definitely could not let Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan have an easy ti. When she found out that the entire Shen family was in prison, Chen Ruoqiu was happy. However, she did not expect that the next day, the news that Chang Zaiqing had a husband and son would break out out of the blue.

Chen Ruoqiu did not expect that she would lose to such a woman who abandoned her husband and son. Chen Ruoqiu was originally smiling hysterically at Shen Wan’s misfortune, but as she smiled, she felt a bitterness coming from the depth of her heart. If she could compose herself and send people to Liuzhou to investigate, everything would be different now. Shen Wan was a person who could not tolerate being lied to. If he was told that Chang Zaiqing had been keeping so many secrets from him, he would be disgusted with Chang Zaiqing even without Chen Ruoqiu doing anything.
