Venomous Empress Reborn

632 Divorce (1)
The Shen family was in an uproar.

It was probably because Shen Wan said that he wanted Shen Yue to marry into the Wang family as an equal wife that Shen Yue panicked. Unable to find a way out, she actually made a bold move and escaped from the Shen family. Before she left, she even packed up all the valuable items, giving Chen Ruoqiu a headache.

Shen Wan was naturally furious. He roared at Chen Ruoqiu, “I told you to keep an eye on her. Why did she escape?”

Chen Ruoqiu was naturally in panic. She felt sorry for her daughter and did not put Shen Yue under house arrest as Shen Wan instructed. However, she did not expect that her own daughter would take advantage of her softheartedness. Now that Shen Yue had escaped, Chen Ruoqiu did not know what to do. She said to Shen Wan, “I’ve already sent someone to look for her. Husband, Yue isn’t doing it on purpose. She’s just scared…”

Even at this moment, she was still making excuses for Shen Yue. Shen Wan sneered. “She’s scared? She even has the guts to exchange marriages with someone else and escape from home! I don’t have such a shameless daughter!”

“How can you say that about her?” Chen Ruoqiu widened her eyes. “She’s your daughter!”

Chen Ruoqiu could not believe her eyes. After Shen Wan said this, he looked at Chen Ruoqiu with a trace of impatience and disgust. He turned around and strode out of the house.

Chen Ruoqiu sensed that something was wrong with Shen Wan and almost fell to the ground. She grabbed Shi Qing’s arm and dug her nails into it. Shi Qing was in so much pain that her face turned pale, but she did not dare to move.

The quarrel in the Autumn Water Garden quickly spread to Rongjing Hall. Old Madam Shen sipped her tea leisurely. When she heard this, she smiled indifferently and said, “Tsk, Chen Ruoqiu, do you really think your husband still has a place for you in his heart?” After a pause, she continued, “Like mother, like daughter. All of them make me mad.”

Mrs. Zhang carefully massaged her shoulders and said, “I wonder if the people sent out to look for Third Miss have found her.”

“Why should I care?” Old Madam Shen was angry and said, “What can she do? She’ll be back soon. What a disgrace to the family. Let Third Master discipline his daughter. I don’t want to care about these trivial matters anymore.” She suddenly thought of something and frowned. “Is Third Master still going to the west courtyard?”

Mrs. Zhang nodded. “These days, Third Madam and Third Master often bicker. Third Master goes to the west courtyard more often and stays for most of the day.”

Old Madam Shen nodded, and a trace of light flashed across her eyes. She said, “In that case, it’s time to put the two of them together. I want her to give Third Master a son as soon as possible.” She sneered. “Chen Ruoqiu, that idiot, has pushed her luck too far. Lately, everything in the Shen family is going wrong. We need a joyous occasion to bring in some good luck.”

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement.

That night, Shen Wan stayed outside until very late. Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t help but complain in her heart. In the past, even if Shen Wan was out socializing, he would always send a servant back to pass a message, but today, she did not know where he went. Thinking that she had just quarreled with Shen Wan during the day, she could not help but feel a little anxious. When women reached her age, they were not as beautiful as when they were young, but when it came to men, the age was just right for them. Now that there was a conflict between Shen wan and her, it would be terrible if he took in a concubine at this moment. Chen Ruoqiu was different from Ren Wanyun. Ren Wanyun didn’t care about Shen Gui taking in concubines as long as she could secure the position of the household manager. Chen Ruoqiu, on the other hand, had Shen Wan’s love all to herself for so many years. Old Madam Shen was right. Chen Ruoqiu was extremely jealous. She would not allow Shen Wan to have another woman.
