But even so, this lawsuit was a lose-lose situation for both parties. Shen Wan's career was hindered and the residence also spent a lot of money. It was just that in comparison, the Chen family was obviously more miserable.
The Chen family had some reputation but because they were a scholarly family, they did not have much money. Old Master Chen initially fought this lawsuit because he did not want others to look down on the Chen family, but he did not expect that this lawsuit would go on for so long. After fighting for a full two months, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Chen family was bankrupt.
Because of this, Old Master Chen's vitality was greatly damaged and blamed everything on Chen Rou Qiu. Chen Rou Qiu's mother also had some complaints. Chen Rou Qiu was originally hurt by Shen Wan and hated that Shen Wan did not care about old feelings and was also angry that Chang Zai Qing was two-faced. The saddest thing was that there was still no news of Shen Yue and now that she was despised by her own parents, she felt that all her hopes were in tatters and was almost at the end of despair.
What she did not know was that the daughter that she could not find was currently in the residence of the Qin Prince in Yan Qing Lane.
In the residence of the Qin Prince, Shen Yue was dressing up in front of a mirror.
The clothes that she wore were of the best quality. Even though the Shen family was a wealthy official family, it could not be compared to the fabrics in the Qin country's Imperial Palace. The jewellery that she wore was also very luxurious. She was covered in silk and looked like a different person from the past. If one were to say that the Shen Yue in the past followed Chen Rou Qiu's instructions and dressed up elegantly and was not bothered by the vulgar gold and silver, now her appearance looked much more expensive.
Naturally it was because Shen Yue had become HuangFu Hao's concubine.
The maid by her side carefully served hot tea to Shen Yue but Shen Yue's expression was somewhat impatient.
She had a pretty face and under Chen Rou Qiu's daily nurturing, she could be said to be gentle and understanding. Moreover she could see that HuangFu Hao had some interest in Shen Yue so she picked out topics related to Shen Yue. One day, HuangFu Hao frivolously asked her if she was willing to be his concubine. Shen Yue thought for a night and agreed the next day.
She did not have any other way out.
The news spread like wildfire. The lawsuit between the Shen family and the Chen family had almost become a joke. Cang Zai Qing was pregnant and if she gave birth to a son, one fear that this daughter would be thrown to the back of the Shen family's head. Even if it was not a son, because Chen Rou Qiu caused Shen Wan to be pointed at, Shen Wan and Old Shen Furen would hate her. Her name had already been occupied by Shen Dong Ling and these days there were rumours that the Minister of Land's Wang Bi doted on his lovely wife, 'Shen Yue'. The more it was said, the more Shen Yue's heart was filled with regret and unwillingness.
No matter if she really liked Wang Bi or not, as long as she thought that the comfortable life that Shen Dong Ling was living now should have been hers, Shen Yue's heart was extremely unreconciled.
She hated Shen Wan for being heartless and also hated Chen Rou Qiu for not living up to expectations. And now she understood that based on her current self, it was even more impossible to get close to Fu Xiu Yi. If she were to return to the Shen family, Shen Wan might be angry with Chen Rou Qiu and arrange a shoddy marriage for her.
Shen Yue also had the unique coldness of the Shen family in her bones. Shen Wan and her had been father and daughter for so many years, and at the beginning they were happy and affectionate but now, Shen Yue's gaze towards Shen Wan was even more vigilant than outsiders.
Shen Yue thought that rather than being married to an unknown family, it was better to be HuangFu Hao's concubine. HuangFu Hao was handsome and young and was also the Crown Prince of the Qin country. If in the future she was favoured by HuangFu Hao, perhaps she could be promoted. The most important thing was that if she could borrow HuangFu Hao's power, perhaps she could protect herself and Chen Rou Qiu.
Thus Shen Yue became HuangFu Hao's concubine.
