496 Worse Than A Tiger (3)
When Chen Ruoqiu was chatting with Chang Zaiqing previously, she had mentioned Shen Xin. Now, Chang Zaiqing had met everyone in the Shen family, except for the first branch that had moved out. Chen Ruoqiu suggested that since she was the daughter of Old General Shenâs old subordinate and Chang Hu was Old General Shenâs savior, Shen Xin would naturally not refuse to see Chang Zaiqing. Moreover, Shen Xin was the eldest son of Old General Shen. Logically speaking, it was only right for Chang Zaiqing to pay him a visit.
Hearing this, Chang Zaiqing hesitated for a moment and shook her head with a smile. âI already feel bad about disturbing Madam now. How can I disturb General Shen? Moreover, I came to the capital this time to run away from that young master who has been pestering me. As long as this matter is over, Iâll leave. Itâs not good to let General Shen know about this.â
âMiss Chang, there is one thing I donât like about you. You are being too polite.â Chen Ruoqiu pretended to be angry. âThe Chang family and the Shen family are so close. Youâre like a family to us. I heard that when you were young, Shen Xin had also seen you. You can be considered his younger sister. Why would he feel troubled to see you? If you really donât pay him a visit, Iâm afraid he will be angry when he finds out.â
Chang Zaiqing did not speak. Chen Ruoqiu patted her hand and said, âBesides, since you want to hide from that man in Liuzhou, itâs safer for Shen Xin to protect you. He has a lot of soldiers and guards. Even if that man chases you all the way to the capital, he wonât dare to challenge Shen Xin. Since I treat you as one of us, Iâll tell you honestly that his place is the safest for you.â
Hearing that, Chang Zaiqingâs expression changed, and a hesitant expression began to appear on her face. Chen Ruoqiu continued, âMiss Chang, just treat it as being a guest to your own brotherâs house for a few days. Whatâs inappropriate about that?â

Chang Zaiqing forced a smile. âAfter all, itâs been too long. I donât know if General Shen still remembers me. Moreover, thereâs still Mrs. Shen, Fifth Miss, and Eldest Young Master. Iâm afraid Iâll disturb them if you drop in for no reason.â
âDonât worry.â Chen Ruoqiu smiled when she heard that. âMy sister-in-law has the best personality. Because sheâs a heroine from a military family, sheâs straightforward and honest. Sheâs not scheming and is a kind person. When she finds out whatâs causing to come to the capital, she will even sympathize with you. Moreover, Shen Xin doesnât have any other women in his family. Itâs hard for my sister-in-law to find someone to talk to. When she sees you, sheâll definitely treat you very well. As for Eldest Young Master and Fifth Miss, theyâre both sensible children, so they wonât mind.â
Seeing that Chang Zaiqing was a little convinced, Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, âHow about this? If Miss Chang thinks itâs not a bad idea, Iâll get someone to write a letter for you and send it over. Miss Chang, go and visit him first and see what his attitude is. If he thinks itâs inappropriate, just come back.â
Chang Zaiqing thought for a long time and finally nodded. She smiled gratefully at Chen Ruoqiu and said, âThird Madam, thank you for thinking about me.â
âLook, youâre getting more and more courteous with me.â Chen Ruoqiu smiled and stood up. âItâs getting late, so I wonât disturb you anymore. Iâll get someone to send it over tomorrow after I write the letter. Miss Chang, you donât have to worry about anything. A smart girl like you will be likable everywhere.â
After sending Chen Ruoqiu off, Nanny Zhao came over to clean up the table. Nanny Zhao heard what Chen Ruoqiu and Chang Zaiqing said just now. Nanny Zhao asked, âMiss, why would Third Madam Shen mention General Shen for no reason? Could it be that she wants to chase you out of the mansion?â
