651 Infighting (2)
Especially⦠She looked at her stomach. Now that she was pregnant, she was certainly going to be the madam of the third branch of the Shen family. Therefore, she had to get rid of anyone or anything that might be a threat.
âItâs not impossible. Actually. thereâs a way,â Chang Zaiqing said with a sweet smile.
Shen Wanâs eyes lit up and he asked, âWhat idea do you have?â
âThat will depend on what kind of attitude you want Prince Zhou to have.â Chang Zaiqing asked, âDoes Prince Zhou want to marry Shen Miao or not?â
!!
Shen Wanâs heart skipped a beat. Prince Zhou would definitely not be willing to marry Shen Miao. Marrying Shen Miao now would undoubtedly make him the common enemy of the other princes. Prince Zhou did not want to have anything to do with Shen Miao, but what Fu Xiuyi wanted to achieve was to make Prince Zhou look like he really wanted to marry Shen Miao.
He said, âPrince Zhou should be unwilling, but⦠we have to make people think that he is.â
Chang Zaiqing thought for a moment and said, âThatâs a little difficult. However, women have always cherished their reputation. If their reputation is ruined, they will live in misery for the rest of their lives. I think if you want to be the matchmaker, you can start with Fifth Miss.â
Seeing that Chang Zaiqing looked confident, Shen Wan asked, âCan you elaborate?â
âMadam Shen and General Shen donât want Fifth Miss to be a secondary consort. But if something worse than being a secondary consort happened to Fifth Miss Shen, they would be left with no choice but to marry her to Prince Zhou.â
Shen Wan frowned.
...
Chang Zaiqing continued, âThere are many worse things than being a secondary consort. For example, being kidnapped and having your innocence taken by someone. That person might be Prince Zhou. Whether itâs Prince Zhou or not, General Shen and Madam Shen will choose to let Fifth Miss marry Prince Zhou because this is the best way to protect her.â
Chang Zaiqing did not make it very explicit, but smart people usually left the listeners to interpret what he or she meant. In an instant, Shen Wan understood most of it and felt enlightened. Chang Zaiqing smiled and touched her stomach, smiling gently. âItâs just that this method is vicious. If not for the fact that I saw Master looking troubled, I wouldnât have said it.â
Shen Wan had obtained a brilliant idea. At this moment, he felt that he had found a treasure. Chang Zaiqing was pregnant with his son and was smart. He immediately kissed Chang Zaiqingâs cheek and smiled. âWith such a beauty by my side, why would I ever be troubled?â After saying that, he stood up again, as if he could not wait to do something. He said, âI still have something to do. Iâll come and see you later.â
After Shen Wan left, Nanny Zhao walked to Chang Zaiqing and asked worriedly, âIs Third Master going to deal with Fifth Miss Shen?â
âMaybe.â Chang Zaiqing smiled. âItâs not the first time Iâve heard that the first and third branches of the Shen family are not on good terms.â
âMiss, are you planning to help Third Master deal with Fifth Miss?â Nanny Zhao asked, âFifth Miss has General Shen backing her up. Will you be in danger if you get involved?â
âIâm not the one who does it. Why will I be in danger?â Chang Zaiqingâs smile did not change. âAs long as Shen Wan is not a fool, he wonât let people catch him red-handed.â
Nanny Zhao was still worried. âMiss, why do you want to help Third Master deal with Fifth Miss?â
