515 Invitation (4)

Chang Zaiqing smiled but did not say anything. The two of them were both elegant and from scholarly families. Their every move was pleasing to the eye, like a pair of sisters. Chen Ruoqiu held Chang Zaiqing’s hand. “No matter how much you like this snow, don’t stay outside for too long. There’s a heater in the house. Let’s go in and sit.”

Chang Zaiqing did not decline, and the two of them entered the house hand in hand. After entering the house, the maid brought them hot tea.

Chen Ruoqiu was the first to pick up the tea and take a sip. She smiled and looked at Chang Zaiqing. “I have been looking for a friend who can appreciate the tea and arts with me but to avail. Now that you’re here, I’m very happy.”

“Third Madam, you are very kind.” Chang Zaiqing smiled back.

“Miss Chang has a likable personality. Anyone will like you.” Chen Ruoqiu said, “I hit it off with you at first sight. I knew you were an intelligent and elegant person. We get along unexpectedly well. I wonder how you got along with my sister-in-law a few days ago?” After a pause, Chen Ruoqiu sighed. “My sister-in-law came from a family of generals. She doesn’t know anything about tea or arts, but she’s a good person. I wonder if she made things hard for you.”

Chen Ruoqiu was obviously probing. Chang Zaiqing rubbed the tea lid and replied obediently, “First Madam is a very good person and told me many interesting things that I’ve never heard of. She didn’t look down on me because of my humble background. I’m very thankful.”

“I knew it.” Chen Ruoqiu nodded. “Have you seen General Shen?”

Chang Zaiqing shook her head. “It was too late that day. I left before General Shen returned. I planned to pay him a visit another day.”

Chen Ruoqiu smiled deeper. “It’s good to visit him another day. After all, we’re all family. Now that we’re both living in the capital, it’s very convenient for us to see each other.”

As she spoke, she saw a maid coming in with an invitation. Seeing that Chen Ruoqiu was also here, she first bowed to Chen Ruoqiu and handed the invitation to Chang Zaiqing. “Miss, this is the invitation sent by the servant.”

Chen Ruoqiu’s eyes flashed as she smiled and said, “Miss Chang, you’ve only been in the capital for a short time, but you already made a good friend? Who is it?”

Chang Zaiqing opened the invitation letter and took a look. She smiled and said, “Third Madam, the only people I know in the capital are from the Shen family. I don’t have any other friends. This invitation is sent by First Madam.”

“Sister-in-law?” Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. She looked at Chang Zaiqing in surprise. “It seems like Sister-in-law likes you a lot. When Sister-in-law was living with us, she rarely invited anyone home.” After saying that, she seemed to be very happy for Chang Zaiqing. “It seems like the two of you really hit it off at first sight. I’m a little jealous.”

Chang Zaiqing smiled. “Third Madam, you are teasing me again.”

“Today is the day of this invitation.” Chen Ruoqiu looked at the invitation in Chang Zaiqing’s hand and said in surprise, “Miss Chang, aren’t you going?”

“I’m afraid… It’s too early.” Chang Zaiqing was a little hesitant.

Chen Ruoqiu smiled and patted her hand. “Why are you so shy? You have to know that we’re family. Moreover, with Sister-in-law’s personality, she won’t be happy with you being so shy. She likes straightforward people. Why do you have to make people not like you?”

Chang Zaiqing looked at the invitation and Chen Ruoqiu continued, “To be honest, I also have selfish motives. I think if you become good friends with Sister-in-law, it will be much easier to resolve the misunderstanding between us in the future. I… still have to rely on you.” As she spoke, she sighed.
