Chapter 38 – Reputation (2)

When those words reached Sheng Peiyin, she could not even bother with her own affairs and hurriedly went to look for Shen Ziqiao.

“…….you were the one who said those words? I have not heard of it before. Jiaojiao, are you aware of how significant a woman’s reputation is. Even if you do not want to marry Qi Zheng, you should not have said those words to make Madam Qi give up.” Sheng Peiyin was very much discontented and rebuked Shen Ziqiao.

As the weather was so hot, she was still dressed in so much clothing that even her neck was covered up, it did seem that Ninth Wangye indeed had his way with Sheng Peiyin.

Hereafter, when Sheng Peiyin was to become the Imperial Concubine of the Emperor in the future, whenever she thought of the Ninth Wangye who was the Emperor’s uncle…….. would she feel awkward?

That’s right! The male lead of this book should be the Emperor, who was also the nephew of Ninth Wangye, thus unknowingly who had cuckolded who first and there was indeed more than one man.

Three views destroyed , melodramatic, lightning strike? It was this kind of plotline that made this book so popular, or else she would not even bother to read it.

“Jiaojiao, are you listening to me!” Sheng Peiyin was truly in rage as she could not tolerate the plan which she had schemed all these while to fail.

If Shen Ziqiao did not marry Qi Zheng, would the Emperor still sanction the marriage between Shen Ziqiao and Ninth Wangye under Shen Xiao’s influence? No way! She absolutely would not give her man to that good-for-nothing!

Ninth Wangye would be the Sheng’s backer!

Shen Ziqiao was eating a white sugar cake and sipping the chilled sour plum juice, while absent-mindedly listening to Sheng Peiyin’s lecture, “I am listening.”

“You……” Sheng Peiyin quelled down her anger, “What the hell are you thinking?”

“I wasn’t thinking of anything. Just telling the truth. I don’t want to marry Qi Zheng.” Shen Ziqiao pretended to be ignorant while responding earnestly too.

Sheng Peiyin glared at her, “You have ruined yourself when this matter has not even started, is it worth it?”

“What’s not worth it, I only want to marry one person.” Shen Ziqiao replied with a sweet smile, portraying none of a scheming intention on that lovely and innocent face.

In Sheng Peiyin’s eyes, looking at that lovely and innocent smiling face was no different than looking at an idiot. “You still want to marry the Ninth Wangye?”

Shen Ziqiao took a bite of the cake, lowered her head and responded in grievance,”He is not willing to marry me.”

“Didn’t you say that you don’t like him anymore the other day?” Sheng Peiyin raised her brows and glanced at her. She had thought that she understood Shen Ziqiao, but now she realized that it was somewhat elusive to see through her.

“Undoubtedly Ninth Wangye is better compared to Qi Zheng.” Shen Ziqiao stole a glance at the changing expression of Sheng Peiyin and laughed inwardly.

Talking to this good-for-nothing would truly infuriate one to death someday! Sheng Peiyin pulled her up, “Our marriage is decided by the parents and introduced by the matchmaker. It is not up to us to decide. As you are still young, it is not urgent anyway. Why don’t I bring you to a place?”

“Where to?” Shen Ziqiao immediately asked. She had to be on guard constantly and must never underestimate Sheng Peiyin’s scheming, or else who knows when she would be sold off.

Sheng Peiyin smilingly said, “You’ll know if you come with me.”

Shen Ziqiao was then taken to the Liu’s of Qing Tong Alley. Sheng Peiyin held her hand and explained, “I get to know Miss Liu through Madam Tang not too long ago. Miss Liu is such a gentle person. You will definitely like her when you meet her.”

Liu Shilang’s younger sister, the one that Old Madam intended Shen Xiao to marry as his second wife? Shen Ziqiao instantly understood what Sheng Peiyin intended to do.

Disallowing Shen Xiao to marry Miss Liu.

As Shen Xiao doted on this daughter the most, she planned on using her to prevent the marriage between Shen Xiao and Miss Liu.

“Okay.” Brimming with a smile, Shen Ziqiao nodded her head, “I have heard that Miss Liu is exceptionally talented. I have been admiring her for a long time”

Sheng Peiyin was mocking at her in her mind. An illiterate still dared saying she admired someone talented. A good-for-nothing would always be a good-for-nothing. No matter how glamorously she dressed, she would still be an unpresentable idiot.

Sheng Peiyin had heard of Shen Xiao’s impending return. Originally she wanted Shen Xiao to suffer by retaliating through Shen Ziqiao. However, Sheng Peiyin changed her mind as she could not allow Ninth Wangye to take the risk. What if under the pressure of Shen Xiao’s influence, the Emperor forced Ninth Wangye to marry Shen Ziqiao?

She had to make sure that Ninth Wangye fell in love with her first and married Shen Ziqiao off to that fool, Qi Zheng. This would be the most perfect plan.

However, she did not expect Shen Ziqiao would rather ruin her own reputation than to marry Qi Zheng.
