668 Going to Prison (1)
Ordinary people would not be able to see the small red mole that was on Chang Zaiqing’s private parts. However, what kind of person was Shen Wan? If he was easily gullible, he would not be a court official for so many years. He glanced at the letter. It said that the father and son had already entered the capital and lived in a house in the east of the city. There was even a specific address on it. Shen Wan quickly tore the letter into pieces and said to the servant beside him, “Prepare the carriage!”
Shen Wan did not believe in a letter that came out of nowhere, but he could not trust Chang Zaiqing’s words either. It was better to see it for himself.
When the carriage arrived at the house in the east of the city, Shen Wan did not get out of the carriage. Instead, he hid in the dark and asked his servant to knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was an eight or nine-year-old boy. When Shen Wan saw the boy’s face clearly, he gasped.
At that moment, Shen Wan knew that what the letter said was true. The reason was that this boy looked too similar to Chang Zaiqing.
The Chang family did not have any other children, so it was impossible for him to be Chang Zaiqing’s brother. Shen Wan’s personal servant was also shocked by the boy’s appearance, but he still asked according to Shen Wan’s instructions, “Do you know where Chang Zaiqing is?”
The boy looked at him warily and asked, “Why are you looking for my mother?”
Shen Wan closed his eyes.
Without a doubt, what the letter said was the truth. Chang Zaiqing indeed had a husband and son in Liuzhou. She hid it so well that no one found out. The servant said a few words to the boy and returned to Shen Wan’s side to report. He carefully looked at Shen Wan and asked, “Master…”
“Investigate!” Shen Wan panted and said, “Send someone to Liuzhou to investigate! I want to know everything about Chang Zaiqing!”
The reason why Shen Wan admired Chang Zaiqing was because Chang Zaiqing was gentle, straightforward, and extremely talented. Moreover, she was pregnant with his child. However, if Chang Zaiqing had a husband and son in Liuzhou, all of this would become a joke! He would be laughed at for helping someone else take care of his wife. Since Chang Zaiqing was so cruel as to abandon her husband and son, she was definitely not as gentle and considerate as she looked on the surface. What happened today utterly changed Shen Wan’s impression of Chang Zaiqing, making Shen Wan feel extremely disgusted.
In the next few days, Shen Wan suddenly became busy. Every day, he would be out and about. Even when he returned home, he would go straight to the study. Chang Zaiqing did not get to see him. Occasionally, she would come over to deliver pastries to Shen Wan, but Shen Wan did not interact as intimately with her as before. At first, Shen Wan’s attitude made Chang Zaiqing a little uneasy. Shen Wan’s personal servant told Chang Zaiqing that Shen Wan had taken on an important task and was very busy. Only then did Chang Zaiqing feel relieved.
Shen Wan finally received a letter from Liuzhou.
The letter sent back by his people was the same as the letter sent by the stranger. After reading the letter, Shen Wan was so angry that he almost flipped the table. He actually married a married woman. Now that her husband and son had come to the capital, if they found Chang Zaiqing living with Shen Wan, he would probably become the biggest laughing stock of the entire capital.
