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...
"This old woman greets the young general." Qiao Yuchen was also a domineering man. He insisted that Madam Chen not have to bow, while the people around them bowed directly without even having to stand up.
Chen Siyuan watched from the side, her eyes slightly reddening, but she stubbornly refused to speak.
Just now, her grandmother bowed deeply to her, and she still seemed unable to recover.
In fact, she knew that etiquette was essential in the capital, and she never imagined that her grandmother would one day have to bow down to her.
"Yuan'er, haven't you been talking about your grandmother? Now that she's here, why don't you come over and help her home?" After saying this, Qiao Yuchen freed one hand, pulled Chen Siyuan over, and then placed her hand directly in Old Madam Chen's hand.
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan said, her voice slightly choked with emotion.
"You child, don't you know your grandmother's good intentions?" Old Madam Chen was grateful for Qiao Yuchen's appearance. And that call of "Yuan'er" made her feel much more at ease. Seeing how good Qiao Yuchen was to his granddaughter, she felt much more at ease as well.
Looking back, she made the right choice.
As long as her granddaughter is happy, she feels that no matter how grand the ceremony, it doesn't matter.
But what if my granddaughter, who is so kind, is bullied in the capital?
This is the capital, not the southern part of the city. In the southern part of the city, she could still protect some interests, but now, she doesn't have that ability anymore!
"I only want my grandmother," Chen Siyuan pouted, looking aggrieved.
"Hehe—" Qiao Yuchen laughed. He came to the side and, together with Chen Siyuan, helped Old Madam Chen into the Chen family home.
As they walked, Qiao Yuchen explained.
"Grandmother, don't worry. With your grandson-in-law in the capital, you can do whatever you want. There aren't so many rules."
"Young General, this..."
"Don't worry, with my grandson-in-law here, no one will dare to bully Yuan'er." Qiao Yuchen tried his best to improve his image in front of Madam Chen, all in order to crush Tao Yifan to the ground.
That's what he was thinking.
Qiao Yuchen had just arrived at the military camp today and finished his business when he heard the news from Yang Lei, so he rushed over immediately.
Fortunately, they arrived in time; otherwise, who knows what unpleasant things might have happened.
What Qiao Yuchen didn't mention was that he could have arrived much earlier. He could have met someone on the way and thought things through before finally arriving.
With Qiao Yuchen's involvement, things became much simpler.
Chen Siyuan and Madam Chen thoroughly enjoyed the joy of their family reunion.
After being separated for so long, they always had so much to say. Chen Siyuan mostly talked about interesting things, which always made Old Madam Chen laugh out loud.
Qiao Yuchen and Chen Luyang were drinking nearby, and hearing their commotion, they drank even more happily.
This cheerful atmosphere seems unable to reach the heart of one person: Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan only ate a little at the beginning, but later she had some morning sickness, so Old Madam Chen told her to go and rest.
Chen Siyuan saw Wang Yuyan's disappointed look, but she didn't say anything.
Deep down, I was still curious about what had happened between Wang Yuyan and the Chen family, and why the Chen family didn't like Wang Yuyan, yet they brought her to the capital.
I had a general idea in my mind; it was probably because of the child in her womb.
Poor thing.
Wang Yuyan's fate in her previous life wasn't very good, and now she's in the same situation again.
Thinking about it, I talked to my grandmother and helped her to her yard to take a look.
Lin Ma, Chunping, and Chunlan left together.
The two talked a lot along the way. When they arrived at Fushou Garden, which was arranged by the grandmother, Madam Chen stood at the gate of the courtyard. Looking at these words, she was extremely satisfied. She gently patted her granddaughter's hand and said, "Child, you have worked hard."
"grandmother."
"You're such a sensible child, it always makes my heart ache." Her granddaughter used to cause her a lot of trouble, but seeing her now, she feels even more heartache.
Children who are forced to grow up are destined to go through a lot of hardships, and I don't know how she managed to get through that time.
"Yuan'er, tell your grandmother the truth, are you doing well in that place?"
Chen Siyuan met her grandmother's gaze and remained silent for a long time.
Old Madam Chen's eyes immediately dimmed. "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have..."
"Grandma, I feel that this is the life I want," Chen Siyuan immediately said, taking her grandmother's hand and walking into the yard together.
Chunping and Chunlan had visited before, and the two of them led Lin Ma to start busying themselves in the yard.
There were originally some maids here, all carefully selected by Chen Siyuan. Now, Lin Ma has brought some more, and soon, the courtyard seems to have come alive.
Chen Siyuan pulled her grandmother to sit in the garden, watching the busy crowd around her, and leaned against her grandmother, saying, "Grandma, I missed you."
"Look at you, you're a married man now, and you still know how to act so coquettishly." She said this, but there was not a trace of disgust on her face.
This is her granddaughter, so sensible it breaks your heart. She is still satisfied with her granddaughter.
Regardless of whether their relationship has progressed or not, Qiao Yuchen's arrival today, deliberately causing a commotion at the gate, is a good thing.
As long as Qiao Yuchen gives his granddaughter enough face, outsiders will think twice before speaking or acting.
After all, while the people of the capital might not really approve of Qiao Yuchen, the Qiao family, the General's Mansion, and even the Emperor himself had to give the General's Mansion some face.
That's why she made that bold decision back then.
I wonder how her research went after all this time?
“Grandma, let’s stay here for now. After a while, I’ll build a bigger yard.”
