But at the end the choice was a poor young lady from SuZhou. Even if it was Old Shen Furen's maiden family, if it was other matriarchs, they would definitely not let this kind of poor and white person be a Young Furen of a noble family.
Who would not know about the matter in the Ding capital? It was rumoured in private that the reason why Shen Yuan married the Jing family's young lady as his wife was because he slept with the Jing family's young lady when he was drunk. And this Jing family was not easy to deal with as they kept on saying that they would report to the authorities. Marrying a poor and white young lady was much better than being reported by the Imperial Censor and losing his official's hat. Shen Yuan was also forced into a dead end before he resorted to such a scheme.
This matter was passed around as a joke in the circle of nobles and for a few days, Shen Gui would receive the looks of a joke from his colleagues when he went to court, much less Shen Yuan.
Naturally their reputation was greatly damaged because of this matter but to Jing Chu Chu, it was not related at all. She sat in the room and tasted the snacks out of boredom.
After shedding all pretense of cordiality with Old Shen Furen, Jing Chu Chu's original gentleness was all gone and her nature was completely exposed. She grabbed onto Shen Yuan's soft ribs and ate the Shen residence's things, living a very comfortable life.
Beside her, the one who was tidying up the room was her personal maid Tao Yuan. Jing Chu Chu did not trust the people of the Shen residence and now everything was handed over to Tao Yuan alone. Tao Yuan said, "It seems that Master and Furen will arrive in a few days. At that time Young Lady's marriage would be bustling and when it is spread back to SuZhou, it would be very glorious."
Jing Chu Chu smiled, "It is not in vain that my painstaking efforts are not in vain."
"But …" Tao Yuan was somewhat worried, "Now that Second Young Master and Old Furen of the Shen family treat Young Lady so badly, in the future when Young Lady marries over, what if they bully Young Lady?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" Jing Chu Chu opened a box of rouge in front of her and looked at it, "I have already inquired about it. Second Biao Younger Sister is dead and Second Biao Shen is currently crazy and cannot preside over the overall situation. There is only one YiNiang in the Second household. A YiNiang would not be able to intervene in the Di son's affairs. As for Biao Older Brother, he would not stay in the residence everyday. At that time I would be alone in the Second household's courtyard and can do whatever I want and have a lot of freedom. It's much more comfortable than marrying into the first branch. "
"Be that as it may." Tao Yuan shook her head. "But if Second Young Master marries some concubines in the future and brings trouble to Miss …"
"It's up to you now." Jing Chu Chu looked at Tao Yuan and said as if she was giving alms, "These few years you have been by my side and I see that you are loyal and handsome. If there is a day, I will let Second Biao Older Brother accept you and you can help me win him over. This is considered as my repayment for your loyalty." She smiled with satisfaction, "Not everyone has the good fortune to become a concubine of a wealthy family from a maidservant."
Tao Yuan lowered her head and quickly said, "This servant … this servant will listen to Young Miss."
Jing Chu Chu closed the rouge and her gaze landed on a bracelet on the dressing table. She could not help but pick it up and stare blankly at it. Upon seeing this, Tao Yuan said in surprise, "Isn't this … the bracelet that Young Master Sun gave to Young Miss?"
"Gentleman Sun …" Jing Chu Chu muttered and her expression was somewhat erratic.
"Speaking of which, Gentleman Sun treats Young Miss very well." Tao Yuan said with a smile, "One do not know how sad he would be upon hearing the news of Young Miss's engagement."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jing Chu Chu's eyebrows were vertical as she interrupted Tao Yuan's words. Tao Yuan was not convinced, "This servant did not say anything wrong. Even though Gentleman Sun and Young Miss did not meet much, they felt like old friends the moment they met and even took the effort to gift things to Young Miss. It could be seen that he really put Young Miss in his heart. If it was not for Second Young Master's matter, Gentleman Sun would definitely think of ways to marry Young Miss as his wife! "
