Chapter 68: Chapter 68: As the Weather Cools, the Wei Family Should Be Ruined

Shen Hua received the letter from Zheng Qianyu on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

Ningzhu trotted in from outside, presenting it with a smile.

Shen Hua was covered with thick quilts, with a well-worn book of embroidery technique on her lap.

Upon hearing this, she just lifted her eyelids.

"Put it down."

"Aren’t you going to read it, madam?"

"I have no relations with Lady Mi, everyone else’s letters arrived before the new year, only she deems herself too noble. What, should I eagerly tear it open to see?"

Others might not understand, but Yicui certainly knew Shen Hua was being pettish.

She put down her embroidery work and hurriedly said, "Madam, don’t get upset. Although Lady Zheng is always out of line, who else in Fengzhou would put up with her foul temper after you moved to Shengjing?"

"For her, I bet even finding someone to talk to is hard."

Shen Hua’s expression softened.

Yicui added, "Please have a look, the letter is quite thick. Who knows how many sheets she wrote on."

Shen Hua snorted, reluctantly taking it. She felt its thickness and could not help but raise the corner of her mouth, quickly composing herself so as not to be seen.

She pulled out the letter and spread it open.

Then... silence.

Her eyes hurt.

The handwriting was truly unique...

Ink stains clumped together, uneven character sizes, Shen Hua nearly had to press her face close to distinguish them.

The girl grumbled, "Such atrocious handwriting. So crooked, it doesn’t even match up to a seven-year-old’s writing. Has she got the nerve to send me a letter?"

What others can write clearly on one sheet, she revises and edits over eight sheets.

Shen Hua looked up indifferently, scoffed, "So even from so far away, she seeks to torment me?"

The grievances between her and Zheng Qianyu are countless.

Just rattling off a few incidents would make Shen Hua furious.

"In Jiayou Thirteen Years, her second brother was about to take a wife. Fearing future disagreements with the bride, she insisted on dragging me to drink with the bride the day before the wedding. Although we gained sister-in-law affection, the bride nearly missed the auspicious hour because she was drunk."

Fearing punishment, Zheng Qianyu shamelessly pushed her out. In the end, she was scot-free while Shen Hua was chastised by Shen Wei and grounded for half a month.

Afterward, the Zheng Family sold rice to the Shen Family at a price thirty percent higher than others!

"That same month, she came to apologize. The way she humbled herself sure was something."

Her first time seeking out Shen Hua.

Shen Hua had the servant drive her out.

During her second attempt, she didn’t even get to see Shen Hua’s face, not to mention entering the Shen Residence.

"After being rebuffed twice, she stopped coming. And she dared to say I’m difficult to serve!"

Am I really that easy to appease?

Shen Hua pursed her lips, silently competing with herself. After berating her for a while, she pinched the letter again, painstakingly recognizing each word.

The anger on her face dissipated, replaced by a complex expression that rolled in like a wave.

Back in Fengzhou, Zheng Qianyu had once specifically sought out Shen Hua.

——Did you go to the Xiao Family’s wedding banquet?

——If you really can’t let go, do you want me to help check who Sister Xiao married?

At that time, she had just cried at Shen Zhi’s tomb, her eyes still red. To hide her haggardness, she was condescending towards Zheng Qianyu, showing no kindness.

——Do you need to worry about unnecessary things?

Tears fell like crystals, and she frantically wiped them with her sleeve.

——I admit it’s a lie not to resent. Why, when my brother is gone, can she marry with a phoenix crown? But what can I resent for? My brother, when he was alive, also did not have the chance to discuss marriage with her, did he? Zheng Qianyu, you should know, in front of her, I am at a disadvantage.

No one wishes for her to marry a good man and live a safe life more than Shen Hua does.

That matter was thus left unsettled.

Yet, Zheng Qianyu brought it up again.

Shen Hua sat up straight, and as she finished reading the letter, her lips pressed together tighter, as if to bore holes in it.

Seeing her confused and gloomy look, Yicui’s heart clenched.

"Madam, what’s wrong?"

The resentment in Shen Hua’s heart took a long time to calm. The air became heavier and thinner.

"Sister Xiao was forced into the flower sedan chair."

The Xiao Family was not wealthy, but they had some property after all.

Shen Hua never knew Xiao Sesu’s circumstances could be so difficult.

Xiao Sesu was calm and composed; not as sweet-tongued as her sister, nor as smooth as her older sister. Thus, she always ended up as the one overlooked by her parents.

But she was born attractive. When the elders of the Xiao Family knew of Shen Zhi’s intentions, they started behaving warmly towards Xiao Sesu.

They even turned away suitors. Until the death of Shen Zhi, the couple quickly arranged Xiao Sesu’s marriage, not exactly selling her, but naturally picking a wealthy family.

They were siphoning off their daughter’s blood to help their own family.

Whenever Xiao Sesu resisted, she was condemned for being unfilial.

"How is Lady Xiao now?" asked Yicui.

Shen Hua’s tongue felt bitter: "The Xiao Family’s marriage was with the Wei Family. Before she married, there were already several concubines in the Wei Family. The Wei Family is not in Fengzhou. Zheng Qianyu could only find out this much."

She tilted her chin up, frustrated and proud like a peacock.

"Why should the girl my brother couldn’t have be ruined by a philandering man?"

"The family’s just running a small business to make ends meet. What high and mighty Wei Family’s eldest son? Did he even pass the imperial examinations? Can he compose poetry in seven steps? His appearance and talents are not comparable to my brother’s. I thought he was some big shot."

She bitterly uttered her angry words: "It’s getting cold; the Wei Family should be going bankrupt."
