The General's Honored Lady

Chen Siyuan was the legitimate daughter of a merchant family. After marrying a household slave, she poured all her efforts into helping him become a minister. In return, her husband and her paterna...

Chapter 160 Something Happened

After saying those words, Qiao Yuchen left.

For several days in a row, Qiao Yuchen did not return.

Chen Siyuan keeps herself very busy every day, but even when she's busy, she still has moments of free time.

Even though I'm exhausted every day, I can't fall asleep for a long time once I lie down on the bed.

The man's words kept echoing in my ears.

"You really don't have me in your heart?"

"Yuan'er, I'm serious about you."

I kept thinking about those words until I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

When I woke up, I saw the calming incense burning next to me and was taken aback. It seemed that Chunlan had said that the calming incense was used up. How come there was suddenly more?

Chunlan and Chunping heard the noise and came in to serve.

"Young Madam, you're awake?" Chunlan asked.

Chunping went to the side and started making the bed.

Chen Siyuan approached the incense burner and asked, "Didn't you say there weren't any left?"

"Young Master came back last night." Chunlan didn't know that she had run out of supplies, but now she had more. It must have been Qiao Yuchen who sent them.

"Why didn't you call me?" Chen Siyuan frowned deeply.

Their relationship is currently very awkward.

She had always thought it was a cooperative relationship, but the man's words suddenly threw her off balance.

Chen Siyuan always felt uneasy.

It felt as if someone had grabbed my neck and was controlling my breathing.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

When she arrived in the capital, the events that unfolded, combined with her memories from her previous life, made her feel that this was not a good omen.

It seemed that everyone around her, except for the wedding and the commotion that day, feared Qiao Yuchen's authority and dared not easily act in front of her. She knew in her heart that someone was now subdued by those around her.

It was just like the last time I was poisoned and innocently fell into a coma for several days.

If the last incident was a warning, a reminder, then this time...

"Young Madam, it was Young Master who forbade us to call you that." The person who was sober clearly didn't want others to know, and Chunlan couldn't explain why, but that was the general feeling.

Chunping nodded hurriedly, "Young Master came for a while and then left."

When did he arrive?

"The hour of Chou (1-3 AM)".

Chou hour?

I had just fallen asleep not long ago, so it's normal that I didn't hear any noise.

But what does Qiao Yuchen mean?

Should we return here, or at this time?

Is it because they're too busy, or is it intentional, or perhaps they don't know how to face themselves?

At this moment, Chen Siyuan thought of several possibilities.

My mind is a bit of a mess, and I can't figure out the final reason for it right now.

Despite her doubts, she still got up to wash up.

Because of what happened so early this morning, Chen Siyuan doesn't plan to go out today.

I have a feeling that something is going to happen.

After breakfast, we took some time to exercise in the yard.

Perhaps because I went to bed a little late last night, I came to the tree in the garden and started reading. Later, I simply covered my face with the book and listened to the sounds around me.

The sunlight, the sound of the wind, the light footsteps of the servants, and the chirping of insects made her feel as if she had entered a paradise, experiencing the relaxation and beauty of her surroundings.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Chunlan and Chunping had been serving on either side. At first, they thought the young lady was thinking about something and didn't expect to be disturbed. Later, when they saw the young lady's hand fall down, they realized that the young lady had fallen asleep.

They immediately brought a polka-dot cloak and draped it over the young lady.

Not long after, night fell.

When Chunlan and Chunping saw this person, especially the letter in his hand, they were about to stop him, but he spoke first.

"Young Madam, here is your invitation."

Chen Siyuan was sleeping soundly and even dreamed of her grandmother.

The two were eating pastries when they were suddenly startled awake. Chen Siyuan took the book off her face and squinted at the person in question.

Seeing that it was night, I thought of the two pleasant meetings that were not far apart.

Just then, she saw what he was holding and frowned. "No, go back!"

“Young Madam, this is from Nancheng,” Hei Ye explained.

South City?

Chen Siyuan was excited. Could it be her grandmother?

Thinking of this possibility, she immediately reached out. When Chunlan saw the young lady's action, she instantly understood and took the letter from Hei Ye's hand and presented it to the young lady.

Upon closer inspection, the handwriting appeared familiar.

Chen Siyuan smiled.

This smile comes from the heart.

Chunlan and Chunping were captivated by the young lady's smile and remained unresponsive for a long time.

Just like his name suggests, the shadowy figure vanished the moment the letter arrived.

After Chen Siyuan finished reading the letter, her eyes and brows were filled with a smile.

I thought something bad was going to happen soon, but today's letter has really excited me.

"Miss, is there some good news?" Chunlan asked.

Chunping listened intently from the side.

"Grandmother is coming to the capital."

"real?"

Chen Siyuan nodded with a smile, "Grandmother also said she wanted to settle down in the capital." It turned out that what Grandmother said that day was true.

I thought it was just to comfort myself that day, but now it seems that my grandmother was a woman of action.

She felt she owed her maternal grandfather a debt from a past life, and she tried her best to make up for it in this life, but with her maternal grandmother, she relied on her more.

Perhaps because she had spent a lot of time with her grandmother, she also had that expectation in her heart. When she heard the news that her grandmother was coming to the capital, all the heaviness that had been weighing on her heart disappeared.

Fortunately, I've now bought the entire South Gate Street. When my grandmother, father, and eldest brother arrive, they'll have a place to stay and something to do, and we can get together again.

She had come to the capital with a heavy heart, but now she felt happy.

They risked their lives for themselves in their past lives, and they still protect themselves like this now.

She is so lucky to have such a family and such relatives.

I was in a good mood, so I ate extra much at lunch.

Because she had slept enough in the morning, Chen Siyuan couldn't fall asleep. She was planning in her mind where to set up a place for the Chen family to stay.

The circle of influential people in the capital is very large. The Chen family is a merchant family, so it's best for them to stay away from these places.

Here's the problem.

The location is great, the space is large enough, and you can move in right away; it's not easy to find a place like this.

After thinking about it all afternoon, I still couldn't come up with a good idea. After the initial excitement, I started to feel worried.

Chunping felt sorry for the young lady and rubbed the arrowhead for her. "Young lady, there's no need to rush. There's still some time before the old lady arrives in the capital."

Chen Siyuan smiled and said, "I was just a scoundrel before. I've finally come to my senses and have a chance to show my worth. I want to do something for my grandmother."

Chunping gave a bitter smile.

The young lady has finally come to her senses, but it's a realization that's heartbreaking to watch.

Always thinking of others, when will you ever think of yourself?

Wang Li rushed in from outside and, upon seeing the young lady, exclaimed anxiously, "Young lady, something terrible has happened!"
