Among the three sons in the Shen residence, each had a different temperament. Shen Xin was upright and resolute but was too boorish and not attentive enough, and was somewhat loyal. Shen Gui was good at flattering and was successful in the officialdom but was greedy for money and lustful. Other than Ren Wan Yun, there were a few concubines in the residence. It was just that Ren Wan Yun's methods were powerful and even though there were many concubines, there was only one Shu daughter and was not able to threaten the position of a Di child. Third Master Shen Wan, on the other hand, had genuine talent and genuine knowledge. If one were to say that among the three sons, Shen Xin followed the Old General and walked the path of a military official, Shen Gui and Shen Wan walked the path of a civil official, then compared to his Second Older Brother, Shen Wan had some real ability.
But this did not mean that Shen Wan did not have any flaws. He did not like beauties and only had Chen Rou Qiu as his official wife, but he placed too much importance on power and only wanted to climb up. For this, he even stepped on his own superior.
At this moment, Ren Wan Yun was carefully writing an invitation. The sun shone through the window and slanted onto her body. It made her facial features as soft as a young female's. Shen Gui was tidying his collar and could not help but smile when he saw it. He walked to her side and hugged her from behind.
"Ya." Chen Rou Qiu rebuked, "What is Master doing? It caused me to not write the words well and waste an invitation in vain."
"Let me see." Shen Wan pretended to pick up the invitation to take a look and commented, "The handwriting is graceful, just like the owner of the words. How is it not written well?"
Chen Rou Qiu's pretty face blushed. When Shen Wan saw it, his mind could not help but sway.
Even after so many years, this wife of his still had a kind of attractive magic that made him unable to see other females.
This was Chen Rou Qiu's brilliance. There were so many daughters in the Chen family but only she could firmly grasp her husband's heart. It was not because of anything else but her forbearance. Whatever type of female Shen Wan liked, she would become that. One's character could be changed, one's clothes could be changed and one could cater to one's liking. After a long time, a male would be like raising a cat or a dog and would only have one in his eyes.
"Second Sister-in-law should be back today." Chen Rou Qiu snuggled in Shen Wan's embrace, "One do not know if Yue-er is used to the food in the temple or if the mountain roads are bumpy."
Shen Wan laughed, "What are you blindly worrying about? Second Sister-in-law will not let Yue-er starve or freeze." Seeing that Chen Rou Qiu still had a worried look, he said with a smile, "You always treat Yue-er as a child. Now Yue-er is already so big and would reach the age of marriage in a few years. What will you do then?"
"When Yue-er marries, I will naturally pick a perfect marriage for her. "Since Yue-er is getting married, I will will will pick a perfect marriage for her.
That night when Old Shen Furen spoke to Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu, she proposed to secretly give Shen Miao to Prince Yu, and as Prince Yu wished, to support the Second and Third household of the Shen family, Chen Rou Qiu told her husband about it. Shen Wan naturally agreed. He had been infatuated with power all his life, but no matter how he climbed up, his power and reputation were all inferior to Shen Xin. He was jealous of the First household for many years and did not have any feelings for Shen Miao. If Prince Yu obtained Shen Miao and was happy, he would promote him in the official circles. To Shen Wan, it would be an unexpected joy. As for Shen Miao's future, Shen Wan did not care at all if she could live well in the rest of her life.
"One do not know if Second Sister-in-law's matter is settled." Shen Wan's expression became serious.
When Chen Rou Qiu saw it, her heart slightly sank. She knew that her husband had always placed power first. Even though Chen Rou Qiu did not care about the First household, but for females, it was inevitable that the fox grieves for the rabbit's death.
This time Ren Wan Yun suddenly mentioned to go to Wo Long Temple to offer incense and those in the know knew that there must be some hidden reasons. One fear that after this trip up the mountain, when they return, they would hear Shen Miao's grievous news.
