637 Divorce (6)


    Chen Ruoqiu seemed to have suddenly gained confidence and became more and more aggressive. She continued, “After getting a divorce letter, I’ll naturally leave without a word. You can marry whoever you want. I won’t say a word about it. After all, we’ll go our separate ways!” After saying that, two streams of tears flowed down her face, making her look pitiful.


    Chen Ruoqiu said these words in a fit of anger. She and Shen Wan had been married for so many years. They had quarrels now and then, but they were able to cool off and make peace with each other. Chen Ruoqiu knew Shen Wan well. Shen Wan still had some feelings for her. Now, he was just seduced by Chang Zaiqing. It was impossible for Shen Wan to divorce her for the sake of Chang Zaiqing.


    Chen Ruoqiu had it right that Shen Wan still had lingering love for her. Unfortunately, she did not know about Old Madam Shen’s attitude.


    Chang Zaiqing opened her mouth a few times but didn’t speak.


    !!


    Old Madam Shen looked at Chen Ruoqiu. “Ever since Shen Wan married you, he hasn’t brought any woman back home. As his first wife, you didn’t help your husband, but instead, you’re just jealous and petty! Shen Wan is devoted, and I don’t want to interfere in his own matters. However, Chen Ruoqiu, you’ve been in the Shen family for nearly twenty years, but you’ve never given birth to a boy for the third branch. Let me ask you, is there any married woman in the capital like you who can’t give birth to a son for so long and didn’t let her husband have a son with someone else? Do you want my Shen family to have no descendants?”


    “You’re jealous and can’t give birth to a son. Just these two are enough to kick you out of the house!”


    Old Madam Shen was from the streets. When she was arguing with others, she would not hesitate to use the meanest words, especially since she was already quite angry with Chen Ruoqiu.


    That’s right. Just the fact that Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t give a son to Shen Wan was enough for the Shen family to push all the me to her. Even if this matter was brought to the court, Chen Ruoqiu would still be the one being pointed at. A trace of helplessness shed across Chen Ruoqiu’s face. She had always thought that she had Shen Wan under control and that she and Shen Wan could be in love for the rest of their lives. However, now, Shen Wan’s attitude of protecting Chang Zaiqing was like a ruthless p on Chen Ruoqiu’s face!


    Shen Wan was no different from other men, interested in the young and pretty. Chen Ruoqiu was no different from other women. Once they aged, they would have to make way for young girls. However, those who were old still had their sons to rely on. Chen Ruoqiu did not even have a son, so her position was in danger.


    Old Madam Shen looked at Chang Zaiqing and said slowly, “My Shen family is not an unreasonable bunch. Since Third Master touched you, we naturally have to be responsible for you. Miss Chang, if you agree, Third Master will marry you. There’s a lot of bad luck in this mansiontely. It’s time to have a joyful asion to wash it away.”


    Old Madam Shen was obviously deliberately going against Chen Ruoqiu.


    Chen Ruoqiu looked at Old Madam Shen. A smile shed across Old Madam Shen’s wrinkled face, and that smile enlightened Chen Ruoqiu.


    How did she find out about Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan? It was Old Madam Shen who asked her to go to the west courtyard to deliver fabric. Why was she asked to deliver it sote at night? Did Old Madam Shen do it on purpose? These days, she was worried about Shen Yue and did not care about anything else. Old Madam Shen might have noticed something fishy going on between Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan. When she realized that Chang Zaiqing and Shen Wan were very close, she was probably wild with joy. Perhaps she had even done something to speed up tonight’s event.


    Old Madam Shen… Chen Ruoqiu suddenly felt infinite hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, “Such humiliation is uneptable!”
