Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 645
645 Matchmake Shen Miao (2)
When Shen Miao was in the palace in her previous life, she had seen Fu Xiuyi using this method to deal with a courtier. That courtier was originally Prince Zhou’s subordinate. Fu Xiuyi couldn’t deal with him openly, so he got the courtier involved in a lawsuit. In the end, the courtier went bankrupt.
The government office and the casino were the most profitable places. Whenever Shen Miao thought about how Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu tried their best to frame the first branch of the Shen family in her previous life, she wanted to rip their faces apart.
As long as Shen Miao gave some money to ask the people in the government office to delay this lawsuit, the Shen and Chen families would definitely suffer a huge blow if not bankrupt. Moreover, Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu were both people who cared about their reputation. This time, it was definitely impossible for them to get back together.
There was nothing more satisfying than this.
!!
Shen Miao’s gaze turned cold. However, Chang Zaiqing actually got pregnant at this time… At the thought of what Chang Zaiqing had done to cause Luo Xueyan’s death in her previous life, Shen Miao couldn’t help but sneer.
She said, “Call Mo Qing over and ask him to find some people to bring someone from Liuzhou.”
In Liuzhou, Chang Zaiqing still had her son and husband. After driving Luo Xueyan to an early grave, Chang Zaiqing enjoyed a comfortable life for many years before her unsavory past was dug out. Now, Shen Miao would be the one to dig out her unsavory past.
While Shen Miao was thinking about how to deal with the third branch of the Shen family, Shen Wan went to Prince Ding’s mansion.
Shen Wan was a smart person. In the competition for the throne, the crown prince was the rightful successor, but he was sick and weak. Prince Zhou had his mother, who was a favored consort, to back him up, but he was arrogant. Prince Li was resourceful, but he was not favored by Emperor Wen Hui. Only Prince Ding seemed to be outside the competition, showing no interest in the throne.
However, Shen Wan had a feeling that Fu Xiuyi was not as uninterested in the throne as he looked on the surface. This made Shen Wan even more hesitant as to what to do. However, ever since Shen Xin returned, the Shen family had been in trouble one after another. Shen Wan’s official career was going downhill, and none of the princes showed enthusiasm towards him. At this moment, he thought of Fu Xiuyi.
In the early years, before Shen Xin split up from the Shen family, Fu Xiuyi actually treated Shen Wan quite well and showed interest in roping him in. Shen Wan naturally understood that Fu Xiuyi was after Shen Xin’s military power, but at that time, he was in the position to choose, so he didn’t give Fu Xiuyi a straightforward answer. Later, Fu Xiuyi seemed to understand what he meant, and he was not as enthusiastic as before.
Now that the Shen family was not doing as well as before, if Shen Wan still wanted to protect his official career… In addition, Chang Zaiqing might be able to give birth to a son for him. He no longer wanted to stay mediocre and suddenly had the desire to make a name for himself.
Riches came from danger. He still wanted to give it a try.
Therefore, Shen Wan made up his mind to pay Prince Ding a visit to express his stance. Shen Wan found it a little funny. If he had made this decision earlier, perhaps Shen Yue would not have to be forced to marry Wang Bi, nor would she have to escape home. He could even use Shen Yue to win over Fu Xiuyi’s heart. However, without Shen Yue’s marriage exchange, perhaps he and Chen Ruoqiu would not have come to this point. Chang Zaiqing would not be pregnant, and he would not have made up his mind to join hands with Prince Ding.
Fate liked to play tricks on people.
Fu Xiuyi sat at the head of the table and ordered someone to serve tea to Shen Wan. There was no need for an exchange of pleasantries because they both knew why they were here. Fu Xiuyi smiled gently. “Lord Shen, I heard that you’ve been busy with family matters these days. What brings you here?”
