At first, Qiao Yuchen was a little slow to react. As he passively closed the distance between them, and the woman also seemed to reciprocate, his initial caution suddenly exploded, and he took the initiative to hug her.

If he was being cautious and sneaking around just now, he was now doing it openly and honestly.

He hadn't expected this woman to be so passionate, like a wild flame. Even knowing the danger, he still wanted to risk being burned to get close to her.

Just as he was excitedly about to remove the woman's clothes, he suddenly realized that the woman was different.

He looked over and found the woman asleep.

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, leaving him stuck in a limbo, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

The goal is to wake this woman up and let her know that men are not so easy to mess with; at the very least, once the fire is lit, one should help cool it down.

Just then, the woman rolled over, reached out and hugged the man, moved her head closer and closer, found a comfortable position next to him, smacked her lips a couple of times, and fell asleep again.

The man, who had just been somewhat defiant, softened at the sight of the woman's action. Despite feeling unwell, he allowed her to hold him, accepting this sweet punishment.

Chunlan and Chunping remained outside the door for a long time without hearing any movement from inside.

Even though it was only during the day, this was the first time that the young mistress and Qiao Yuchen had shared a room.

I wonder what the outcome will be?

Curious and happy that the two had finally come together, she heard a commotion outside.

The young mistress and Qiao Yuchen finally had time to be together, and they didn't want to be disturbed.

Chunlan stood guard at the door, while Chunping went out to check.

Chunping became even more adept at handling interactions with the people in the mansion.

Now that Chen Siyuan has just been granted the title of Lady of the Imperial Decree, she needs to be even more skillful in handling matters.

Maintain a superior attitude, but don't let others perceive you as overly smug.

When Chunping arrived at the entrance of the East Garden, she saw that it was actually Qiao Yang, who had been arrested.

Why did she come out?

I didn't see this person yesterday, but he came out today and even caused a scene here. Just by looking at Qiao Yang's demeanor, I knew he was here to cause trouble.

Chunping was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Second Miss."

"Where is Chen Siyuan? Tell her to come out and see me." Qiao Yang maintained her aloofness; there was no place in the entire General's Mansion that she couldn't go. Unexpectedly, she was stopped at the gate of the East Garden today. How infuriating!

"The young mistress is already resting. Please come back later, Miss."

"What kind of person are you, daring to put on airs in front of me?" Qiao Yang said, reaching out to slap Chunping.

Chunping took a step back, waiting for the person to approach again so she could take him down, but unexpectedly a figure suddenly approached and grabbed Qiao Yang's wrist, "Second Miss, this is the East Garden."

Wang Yong suddenly appeared and coldly stopped him.

They weren't at the scene of what happened at the General's Mansion that day, but they now know the general outline.

If Qiao Yang hadn't stirred things up that day, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.

They didn't seek revenge on Qiao Yang, but unexpectedly, this guy dared to cause trouble as soon as he came out. Did he really think there was no one left in Dongyuan?

"What are you, doing this to me..." One by one, these ignorant servants in the East Garden dared to treat her like this. Enraged, Qiao Yang wanted to fight back, but Wang Yong showed her no mercy. He grabbed her hand and, with a slight force, pushed Qiao Yang away.

Qiao Yang fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Wang Yong stood at the door with his hands behind his back, giving off an air of "If you dare to rush over, I'll kill you."

Chunping realized things were not going well.

Qiao Yuchen is an unreliable person, how come his subordinates are also so tactless?

He stepped forward and said to Qiao Yang, "Second Miss, this is the East Garden, please behave yourself."

"So what if it's Dongyuan? Hurry up and bring that bitch Chen Siyuan out so she can go to the Ministry of Justice and explain herself clearly. She's the one who killed the person."

Qiao Yang thought of Aunt Guo. She couldn't lose Aunt Guo. She suddenly stood up, ready to rush in. When she came, she knew that only Chen Siyuan could help Aunt Guo get out of that place safely.

The proud Qiao Yang never imagined that one day she would be locked up in that place, eating food that even dogs wouldn't eat.

The thought that everything she had gone through these past few days was because of Chen Siyuan made her want to kill someone.

How could she feel good about having to beg Chen Siyuan now?

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to step forward, Wang Yong slapped her away.

She had been tortured and injured in prison, and the moment she was thrown out again, the wound on her shoulder reopened, and a trace of blood seeped out.

The faint smell of blood finally made Qiao Yang's eyes turn red with hatred.

The people in Dongyuan stared intently, seeing Qiao Yang's disheveled state but feeling no sympathy.

Because of this man, the young mistress was injured several times. If it weren't for her status, she would have killed him long ago, and he wouldn't have had the chance to cause trouble.

Seeing that he couldn't win anyone over here, Qiao Yang got up and headed towards the West Garden.

Chunping watched Qiao Yang leave in a disheveled state, but she wasn't worried.

If it were anyone else, Chunping would think it was inappropriate to make such a fuss at this time.

Qiao Yang targeted the young mistress several times.

The former status of the young mistress might have been seen as a step up by them, but now Chen Siyuan is a first-rank imperial consort. Regardless of how she obtained this status, it will definitely be useful in front of Qiao Yang.

Given his earlier inappropriate remarks, it's not surprising that he's arrested again.

......

After Qiao Yang left, she originally planned to use her current disheveled appearance to complain to Madam Qiao, but unexpectedly, she didn't even see Madam Qiao.

The reason was quite simple: she was blocked at the door by Zhang Ma, who was by Mrs. Qiao's side.

The reason was quite simple: Mrs. Qiao was resting and it was not appropriate to disturb her.

Later, Qiao Yang went to find General Qiao, but General Qiao happened to be out.

After a series of setbacks, Qiao Yang could no longer remain calm.

When she returned to her courtyard in a disheveled state, she felt an urge to kill everyone. At that moment, she was filled with rage and wanted to kill everyone.

The maids were all incredibly excited to see Qiao Yang return.

They had become accustomed to being arrogant in the General's Mansion under Qiao Yang's leadership over the years. Suddenly, Qiao Yang was arrested, and these few maids, who were not followed, had a hard time these past few days.

Seeing Qiao Yang return, they seemed to see a chance to turn things around.

While helping Qiao Yang wash up, she recounted everything that had happened at the General's Mansion during this period.

"What?" Qiao Yang squinted at the maid beside him. "What did you say?"

The maid Mili was terrified when she saw Qiao Yang like this.

She quickly stepped back and knelt on the ground. "Reporting to Second Miss, when the young mistress returned yesterday, Eunuch Huang brought Xuan paper. The young mistress has now been granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady!"

The second young lady returned at some point, and this matter caused quite a stir. I believe she should know about it, but judging from her expression, she seems unaware.

A chill ran through her. Was the Second Miss's good days coming to an end?
