517 Invitation (6)

However, this was a good thing for Chen Ruoqiu.

She tapped Shen Yue’s forehead and said, “In short, learn more from her. It’s much more useful than dressing up.”

…

In the new Shen mansion, Gu Yu said as she combed Shen Miao’s hair, “Miss, if Madam finds out that you sent an invitation to Miss Chang in her name, will you be in trouble?”

Shen Miao said indifferently, “It’s all the same. We’re family after all.”

“But Miss, why don’t you send the invitation in your own name?” Jingzhe was wiping the table at the side. She was a little curious as to why Shen Miao would invite someone she barely knew using her mother’s name.

“I have no relationship with her whatsoever. Why should I invite her here for no reason?”

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. That’s right. Shen Miao did not have much of a relationship with Chang Zaiqing. Why would she use her mother’s name to write an invitation letter to Chang Zaiqing? When Chang Zaiqing came to visit that day, Shen Miao didn’t look happy at all.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Luo Xueyan was not around today, so Shen Miao invited Chang Zaiqing over. She had to meet her alone. Luo Tan had been sent away early in the morning. In the entire mansion, Shen Miao was in charge.

Just as she was thinking, she heard a servant inform her that Miss Chang had arrived.

“So soon?” Jingzhe was a little surprised.

Shen Miao smiled. People who had ambitions would naturally show them here and there. In the past, she couldn’t tell because she was in the dark and didn’t care about anything in the Shen family. Things were different now. She wanted to find out what Chang Zaiqing was made of.

Chang Zaiqing was welcomed by a servant to the main hall to wait. The maid brought over a cup of tea, and she quietly sized up the new Shen mansion.

The new Shen mansion was different from the old Shen mansion. Because the old Shen family was where Old General Shen lived, the feng shui was good. Coupled with Old Madam Shen’s extravagant tastes, it was quite garish. On the other hand, the new Shen mansion had a spacious courtyard, perhaps because Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan needed a place to practice martial arts, and the decorations in the main hall were simple. Although the decorations were simple, for some reason, they gave off a dignified feeling. The first time Chang Zaiqing came, she did not look around carefully. At this moment, she felt like her body was covered in a layer of cold sweat. It was as if she could not help but feel nervous.

The maids were coming in and out as they cleaned the house, and no one spoke to Chang Zaiqing. Chang Zaiqing had always been well-mannered and patient. However, after the tea turned cold, no one came out . Chang Zaiqing grabbed a maid and asked her why Luo Xueyan was not here yet.

The maid had a smile on her face, and her attitude was respectful and polite. She said that she would go and ask, but after she was gone, she never came back. For some reason, this happened several times in a row. Chang Zaiqing couldn’t sit still anymore. The first time she met Luo Xueyan, she had almost figured out her temper. Luo Xueyan was a straightforward person and was very enthusiastic. Why did she deliberately make things difficult for her this time?

For the first time, Chang Zaiqing actually felt a little uncertain. The maids coming and going seemed to be looking at her, but at the same time, they didn’t seem to be looking at her. She finally lost her patience and wanted to get up to leave, but she heard someone say with a smile, “Auntie Chang, I’m really sorry for keeping you waiting. I wet my clothes in the room just now and took a while to dry it up.”

Chang Zaiqing was stunned and quickly stood up. She saw a few maids following her as Shen Miao walked in.

The girl was wearing a jade-patterned brocade cloak with a heater in her hand. When she entered the room, she took off the cloak, revealing the purple embroidered dress inside. It had an extremely gorgeous and complicated pattern. What was rare was that the purple color didn’t look ugly on her. Instead, it made her look noble. As she walked in, the room seemed to have brightened up.

Chang Zaiqing felt dizzy for a moment.

She had seen many people, including Shen Yue, who was praised by Chen Ruoqiu for being outstanding and beautiful. However, only Shen Miao could give her a sense of awe. That day, Shen Miao was accompanying Luo Xueyan and didn’t look all that dazzling. Today, she came by herself and stole all the limelight, making people feel pressured.

“Fifth Miss?” Chang Zaiqing glanced behind Shen Miao.

“There’s no need to look for anyone else.” Shen Miao smiled. “It was me who sent you the invitation, Auntie Chang.”
