In all fairness, HuangFu Hao treated Shen Yue well and naturally Shen Yue deliberately fawned on him. But currently in Ming Qi, Shen Yue was the most favoured one among all the concubines that HuangFu Hao brought. Perhaps HuangFu Hao also enjoyed the taste of a Di daughter of an official being his concubine and was very greedy for novelty.
Shen Yue asked the servant beside her, "Has the letter for the Chen family been delivered?"
The servant said, "It is already on the way and should be arriving soon."
Shen Yue unhappily drank a mouthful of tea.
…
Chen Rou Qiu received a letter.
She did not know who sent this letter to her room. The Chen family's Master and Furen did not want to see Chen Rou Qiu as Chen Rou Qiu had hurt the Chen family's strength and the public money had decreased by a lot. Older Brother and Sister-in-law saw her as a troublemaker, thus Chen Rou Qiu's days were not good and she simply stayed in the room all day and did not go out.
She looked around but didn't see anyone. Curious, she opened the envelope and a letter fell out. As soon as she opened the letter, she was stunned at first sight.
The handwriting on the letter was very clear to Chen Rou Qiu as it was Shen Yue's handwriting. Shen Yue's calligraphy was the only copy of the calligraphy master Wang Furen that Chen Rou Qiu had specially found for her. Shen Yue's strength was soft and she was able to learn most of Wang Furen's handwriting but she did not have enough strength so Chen Rou Qiu could tell with one glance that it was Shen Yue's handwriting.
She quickly sized up the surroundings and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she then boldly opened it. The top only said to meet her at a somewhat isolated inn in the eastern part of the city and there was no signature but Chen Rou Qiu understood in her heart that it was Shen Yue who secretly arranged to meet her.
The stone in Chen Rou Qiu's heart was put down. Shen Yue could still write a letter to her and looking at the unhurried handwriting, it was obvious that she was still safe. The original worries were swept away and Chen Rou Qiu slowly calmed down.
These days the blows came one after another and it made her somewhat flustered and unable to socialize and felt that life was hopeless. But Shen Yue's letter seemed to light up her hope. With a daughter, Chen Rou Qiu's heart was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. At least she was not alone so why could a person like Chang Zai Qing enter the room and snatch what belonged to her? Chang Zau Qing wanted to give birth to a son for Shen Wan? She wanted to see if Chang Zai Qing had this ability!
With a backbone, Chen Rou Qiu gradually calmed down. In the following day, the servants around discovered that the haggard and irritable Chang Zau Qing seemed to be in a better mood, as if she had returned to the gentle and graceful Third Shen Furen of the past. Even when the servants collided with her, Chen Rou Qiu only laughed it off.
If an astute person were to look, they would discover that in Chen Rou Qiu's eyes, there seemed to be a renewed fighting spirit that could not be extinguished.
Early in the morning the next day, Chen Rou Qiu went out.
No one from the Chen Family stopped her. Madam Chen was a little worried, but she didn't say anything after Old Master Chen glared at her. Chen Rou Qiu's Older Brother and Sister-in-law were even more dismissive. If it was in the past, Chen Rou Qiu would quarrel with the few Sister-in-Law but today she was not in the mood. She was wearing an unassuming brown short skirt. The skirt was of an old style from a few years ago, worn by Madame Chen when she was young. When she came out from the Shen residence, she was not able to get a single cent of silver and because she was in a fit of pique, she only took the jewellery and did not even bring much clothes out. Afterwards she was busy with the lawsuit and did not have the time to buy it. At the moment, the Chen family could not even afford to buy it.
Wearing unfitting and outdated clothes, Chen Rou Qiu could only suppress the humiliation in her heart. She was wearing a bamboo hat and others could not see her appearance, but even if they were to see it, one fear that they would not be able to link this shabbily dressed and haggard looking woman with the talented female that everyone in the Ding capital applauded.
