483 Prince Rui’s Neighbor (2)

Old Madam Shen said, “Not only is she a failure in managing the household, but she’s also a jealous woman! She said that she’s a decent lady raised by a scholarly family. I wonder where she learned all these nasty tricks to make Shen Wan so enchanted by her. Is she just going to sit back and watch as Shen Gui dies without a heir too?”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, “Old Madam, why are you angry? Third Master still doesn’t know how good other girls are. Third Master is a very devoted man. When the new girls arrive in a few days, you can send them to Third Master. They’re all young and beautiful like jade. Third Master will naturally want to favor them.”

Old Madam Shen asked someone to buy some talented women from Yangzhou. For a person like Shen Wan, beauty was probably not enough to win his heart. Didn’t Chen Ruoqiu make Shen Wan love her so much because she knew poetry and painting? Those women from Yangzhou had been trained with these talents since they were young. They were good at the Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They were also good-looking. Old Madam Shen did not believe that Shen Wan wouldn’t be attempted because he was a man after all. No matter how good Chen Ruoqiu was, she was getting old.

“All of them make me angry.” Old Madam Shen said unhappily, “Even Shen Yue is like her mother. She’s very arrogant. I’ve introduced a lot of young and rich men to her, but she doesn’t like any of them. Could it be that she still wants to marry a prince?”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, “I’m afraid Third Master already has a suitable son-in-law in his mind and wants to marry Second Miss to him.”

Old Madam Shen snorted. “Let’s wait and see. I want to see what kind of marriage he can find for Shen Yue.

In the Autumn Water Garden, Chen Ruoqiu rubbed her forehead.

Her personal maid, Shi Qing, said, “Madam, I went to Rongjing Hall to ask around. Old Madam really found a few women from Yangzhou for Third Master. They will arrive in the mansion in a few days. Madam, Old Madam obviously wants to replace you.”

Chen Ruoqiu closed her eyes and suddenly brushed all the books on the table to the ground, causing the maid to shudder.

Even though Chen Ruoqiu was still as gentle and considerate as before in front of Shen Wan, the servants could clearly feel that Chen Ruoqiu had become more and more fierce in the past two years. It was probably because she was in charge of managing the household and Old Madam Shen liked to be extravagant, so Chen Ruoqiu had to fork out a lot of her own money. In the past, she did not care about money. Now that she was burdened with worldly affairs, she felt that her life was in a mess everyday.

Of course, the most important thing was that she couldn’t give birth to a son.

She said coldly, “This old fart is really shameless to buy women for his son!”

If Shen Wan was present, his jaw would probably drop, not believing that such unpleasant words would come out of his gentle and graceful wife.

Hua Yi said, “Madam, you are just being too kind. At this rate, Old Madam will sooner or later shove women into Master’s bedroom.”

Chen Ruoqiu took a deep breath and turned to look at the two maids, Shi Qing and Hua Yi. These were the personal maids she had for many years. They were at the right age, 18 or 19 years old, like blooming flowers, and their entire bodies were filled with a honey-like aura. Such a beauty… She curled her lips and said, “Old Madam is really stupid. If she really wants to thrust women upon my husband, why go to such lengths to find these women from far away? We don’t know their backgrounds at all, and they might ruin the family’s reputation. Why doesn’t… she just use these clean and obedient maids by her side? I think the two of you are not bad. With you serving my husband, I can be relieved.”
