Chapter 579: Shen Juhua(4)_1
"Second Miss, the horse carriage is ready, please get inside!"
A servant resembling a coachman approached. He didn’t give Shen Juhua a glance, but spoke obsequiously to Shen Furong.
"Hmm!"
Shen Furong lazily responded, then turned to a maid and said, "Go and fetch Madam and the two young masters, tell them the carriage is ready!"
"Yes!"
As the maid left, Shen Furong, with the help of her own maid, walked with an air of pride towards the horse carriage. She passed Shen Juhua and cast her a glance of contempt.
Shen Juhua watched Shen Furong board her mother’s horse carriage, her lips tightly pursed and her small fists clenching tightly. Her round face turned red as her eyes filled with the mists of unexpressed indignation and unyielding spirit, yet, ultimately, she was left feeling helpless!
Despite being born legitimate, from her childhood, her father always favored the children of her stepmother. Be it in food, clothing or housing, she, as the legitimate daughter, was outdone by the concubine-born Shen Furong. What angered her the most was that everything of hers, regardless of what it was, would be coveted, and snatched away by Shen Furong if it ever caught her eye. Complaining to her father only led to scoldings for her being unreasonable and not being considerate of her younger sister. If not for her and her mother’s open-mindedness over the years, they would have been driven to despair!
"Miss Shen...."
Cai Wei called softly.
Shen Juhua quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and forced a smile, saying: "Cai Wei, I’m sorry you had to see that. Let’s ride in another carriage!"
The back of that little drooping hand had faint traces of moisture.
