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...
inside the house.
The atmosphere was slightly better, and Chen Siyuan leaned against the bed and gave a brief account.
Qiao Yuchen looked at the woman, managing to control his anger and not explode on the spot, "You really have feelings for him?"
"It wasn't intentional, it's just that I owe him."
"What do you owe him? I'll pay you back!" Qiao Yuchen said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Qiao Yuchen's expression change and then disappear, Chen Siyuan knew in her heart that she had won her gamble.
"I have already made myself clear."
Qiao Yuchen got even angrier. "Is this what you call explaining things clearly?"
“I was probably angry,” Chen Siyuan explained. “I received information that Princess Qiya kidnapped my grandmother, which is why Tao Yifan did those things. Now my grandmother is alright, but she was frightened. I have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Princess Qiya, but unfortunately, I don’t have that ability yet.” As she spoke, she lowered her eyes.
Taking the initiative to show weakness is the best way to get along with powerful people.
Of course, all of this needs to be done in moderation, and it also depends on the attitude of the local authorities.
"I'll help you," Qiao Yuchen said.
Chen Siyuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but now was not the best time to speak.
I could only remain silent.
"You have to promise me that you won't see him again."
"Um."
Qiao Yuchen felt like killing Tao Yifan, but seeing the woman so obedient made him feel much better.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
"You're too busy. When I heard about it, I rushed over immediately, and I might have been a bit anxious, so..."
"The people I left you aren't just for show; you can have them do the work." The entire East Garden is his people; something that could be resolved with a single word, he insists on going there personally.
"I just want to make things clear."
"..." Chen Siyuan struggled to think of what to say. Her body was injured and she was not strong enough. She had racked her brains to comfort this man, and now she was very tired. As she thought, she actually fell asleep from exhaustion.
When Qiao Yuchen saw this woman, he held her hand and didn't let go.
Later, when he saw the sleeping woman, he had too many worries.
He simply kicked off his shoes, got into bed openly, and fell asleep with the woman in his arms.
......
The next day.
The entire capital city was in an uproar.
This was all because a strange sight appeared in the capital.
A dragon suddenly appeared on the wall of a major street, attracting a large crowd.
At this time, a solution to the plague in Xucheng was quietly found, and many people immediately felt that this was a blessing from heaven.
For a time, the news spread throughout the capital. As for the incident that Tao Yifan had caused last night, it was simply suppressed.
...
East Garden.
When Chen Siyuan woke up, she had almost fully recovered.
When Chunlan and Chunping saw the young lady, their tense hearts relaxed.
"How is Wang Li?" Having saved her several times, Chen Siyuan was grateful to Wang Li and gradually became somewhat dependent on him.
“He’s already better and went out early,” Chunlan explained.
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan understood what it meant. After washing up, she was still somewhat weak. After eating a meal, she read a book on the soft couch.
Not long after, Wang Li returned from outside and came to him, telling him what had happened outside.
"Auspicious omen!" Chen Siyuan smiled.
This can only fool ordinary people; soon someone will find out what's going on.
The black dragon shown is actually just honey painted on the wall to attract ants, which appears auspicious to outsiders.
This matter is too shocking, and it's a time of good news, so even if some people know the truth, they won't say it.
This incident is sensational enough that no one will remember what happened at the restaurant yesterday.
Besides, Tao Yifan isn't stupid; the operation that took place overnight should be kept secret for now.
Chunlan immediately took credit, "Miss, Qiao Yang secretly went to see the Third Prince last night."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan's eyes widened, and she quickly smiled.
Judging from Qiao Yang's thoughts, she must like the Third Prince.
It has to be said that Qiao Yang is not a very good person, but he does have a brain when it comes to choosing people. However, I remember that the person who married the Third Prince was Qiao Zhen, not Qiao Yang.
...
Tao family.
A busy night did not make things worse.
When Tao Yifan had some free time, he recalled the moment his sword pierced Chen Siyuan's shoulder.
The bloodstains on her shoulder contrasted sharply with the smile on her face.
Especially the woman's line, "This is what I owe him."
The woman spoke with a cool and aloof expression, her posture upright.
Tao Yifan raised his hand again. How could he hurt her? He was too busy protecting her. He got drunk yesterday, and his attempts to meet women had failed. The letters and invitations he sent were all returned.
He initially thought it was Qiao Yuchen who had intercepted them, but the woman's expression told him that it wasn't what he thought.
He was heartbroken. The person he liked was with someone else, and he wanted to try his best to win her back, but then this happened.
Just as he was regretting it so much that he wanted to kill himself, a ghostly figure suddenly rushed over and kicked him hard to the ground.
Tao Yifan felt as if his internal organs had been shattered by that kick, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, losing his footing and falling backward.
If it weren't for the big tree right behind me, I don't know how pathetic I would have become.
He steadied himself, saw the man in front of him, and rushed towards him without regard for his injuries.
If it weren't for this person, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have drifted further and further away from him.
Given a little more time, Chen Siyuan will be his wife, not Qiao Yuchen in front of him.
Because of his rivalry with Qiao Yuchen, he gained a deeper understanding of the man.
The leader of the Demonic Sect transformed into the second young master of the General's Mansion.
It's truly laughable.
The two fought fiercely, each determined to kill the other to vent their anger.
Yu Shuoren was out running errands when he returned and saw this scene, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Upon recognizing the visitors, they immediately dismissed all the servants.
Sooner or later, this person will find out what happened that day.
Seeing Qiao Yuchen arrive today, he had his own thoughts.
If the two of them had a big fight and let the matter of that day pass, and the young master forgot about Chen Siyuan and went their separate ways, that wouldn't be a bad thing.
As the fight went on, they realized something was wrong.
Their refined and gentle young master was now ashen-faced, his entire body radiating murderous intent.
His tall figure stood straight, like a sword blade piercing the sky.
The two fought fiercely, and just when they realized things were going badly, they both aimed for each other's vital points while still in mid-air.
They disregarded everything, seemingly willing to sacrifice themselves if the other party died.
Ren Lu and Yu Shuo, standing below, were shocked.
The moment they saw the young master fall from above, they rushed over and caught him.
They knew that since the young master stabbed Chen Siyuan, he had been blaming himself and had not eaten or drunk anything. How could he be Qiao Yuchen's opponent if he was in such a state?
Besides, Qiao Yuchen is too eccentric, and the skills he uses are not exactly honorable. Yet, he can be so open about using despicable and underhanded tricks.
