"I've met him." Chen Siyuan felt heavy-hearted thinking of this person, but answered honestly to her grandmother.

"What did you all say?" Old Madam Chen's heart skipped a beat as she stared at her granddaughter's face, trying to discern something.

She could clearly see that her granddaughter had really changed a lot; she could no longer tell anything from her face.

"Grandmother, I think I was wrong." She could pretend in front of others, but she couldn't pretend in front of her grandmother. The thought of Tao Yifan's gray hair made her heart ache.

Thinking back to that time in prison, I realize that the recent calm in the capital is probably related to that.

Pingtai was the Third Prince's man. The Third Prince did not have the same smooth sailing as in his previous life. It is unknown whether this matter is related to Pingtai's death.

The thought of this made Chen Siyuan's heart pound.

It seems that every time I meet Tao Yifan, it ends badly.

Thinking of Tao Yifan with his full head of white hair, she felt very conflicted.

"What's wrong? Tell me!" Seeing her granddaughter's expression, Old Madam Chen understood the gist of the matter and felt even worse.

"Grandmother, when was the last time you saw Tao Yifan?"

"Yes..." Just as she was about to speak, seeing her granddaughter's expression, Old Madam Chen also felt uneasy and quickly asked, "What's wrong with him?" Could it be that Tao Yifan is still bothering her granddaughter after they arrived in the capital?

If that's the case, things will get complicated.

“His hair has turned white,” Chen Siyuan said, bowing her head.

Her head of white hair is something Chen Siyuan still can't face.

Madam Chen also fell silent.

Gray hair?

If Tao Yifan had white hair at that age, wouldn't that be...?

After getting Chen Luyang drunk, Qiao Yuchen followed the butler's directions to Fushouyuan.

I spotted the two people standing silently in the courtyard.

He stopped in his tracks.

He wanted to go over and comfort the woman, but at that moment, he knew he shouldn't go over there.

He didn't understand what Chen Siyuan really felt for this old lady Chen, but he knew in his heart that no one could replace their feelings at this moment.

Old Madam Chen knew that Chen Siyuan was not her granddaughter, and Chen Siyuan was not either, yet they were willing to risk everything for each other.

In his view, if Madam Chen and the others came to the capital to visit relatives, that would be acceptable. But if they were moving the whole family, that was no joke, and the Chen family had actually done it.

We decided to move the whole family.

He doesn't believe that ordinary people could do such a thing, such a show of support.

Even his father-in-law, Chen Zhaokun, who was once just an ordinary businessman who was misled by his own backyard and couldn't distinguish right from wrong, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even the people he sent down didn't know where he was. What does this mean?

He knew it better than anyone else.

Chen Zhaokun is not as simple as he appears. He must be plotting something behind the scenes. It cannot be denied that his arrival at this time is not simply to protect this daughter who does not belong to him.

If it wasn't for Chen Siyuan, then it was for Chen Siyuan's biological mother.

That is, Wen Jingya, the daughter of the Wen family, the richest family in Beicheng.

He investigated Wen Jingya's past for a long time but found no trace of it. Even her past was only known through a few words from some elderly people.

Qiao Yuchen, having been through it all, knew that someone had deliberately erased all traces of Wen Jingya's life in Beijing.

Who is this person?

He doesn't know yet, but he does know that there aren't many people in the capital with such abilities. As long as he investigates them one by one, he will eventually find out the truth.

He wondered if anyone would be willing to bear the consequences if they truly knew the truth.

Just as Madam Chen was about to comfort her granddaughter, she caught sight of Qiao Yuchen standing not far away at the courtyard gate.

Thinking about her granddaughter's past relationship with Tao Yifan, and Tao Yifan's full head of white hair, there were some things she still didn't want to say.

He reached out and placed his granddaughter's hand in his own. "Yuan'er, once you start, you must finish. You must never give up halfway."

"grandmother?"

Chen Siyuan looked at her grandmother, wondering if she was being asked to let go of Tao Yifan.

She forced a smile, saying, "Sometimes it's better to keep things to yourself."

Madam Chen nodded. As expected of her granddaughter, she understood her secret code. That was good. Since it couldn't be erased, she would keep it in her heart and never think about it again.

Madam Chen was satisfied, but Chen Siyuan started again.

Now that his own affairs have been settled, what about Wang Yuyan?

She's a living, breathing person, and her belly is quite big. We can't just let her live in the Chen family's house without giving her an explanation.

"Grandmother, what's going on with Wang Yuyan?"

"Her?" Old Madam Chen sighed. "You should let your eldest brother explain this to you!"

One thing after another happened, and everyone felt uncomfortable. They didn't know what was wrong with that child. She sided with her grandson in this matter, but as for their affairs, she was old and no longer needed to be involved.

Chen Siyuan smiled. "Is the child in Wang Yuyan's belly my eldest brother's?" Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't her father's, things weren't so troublesome.

My eldest brother is of marriageable age, but Aunt Zhao stopped him in previous years. Now that Aunt Zhao is no longer there to stop him, he is no longer alone.

Besides, she felt that Wang Yuyan's background was also very good, and she and the Chen family were a good match.

"Don't meddle," Old Madam Chen said, knowing her granddaughter well, and quickly reminded her upon seeing her expression.

Her grandson had finally had a period of peace and quiet; if she were to cause more trouble, wouldn't that only make his heart feel even heavier?

“Okay, I’ll do whatever Grandmother says. I’ve set up a few shops so my older brother can keep busy and not get bored.”

She doesn't interfere in matters of the heart, letting the two of them handle it themselves. She just hopes that her older brother can have a family, and not end up like he did in his previous life, where he not only lost his leg but also suffered such a tragic end.

"You even looked for a shop?" That's a good thing.

On the way here, I was thinking that I had just arrived in the capital and had nothing to do.

The Chen family runs a business in the southern part of the city, and suddenly having nothing to do isn't a good thing.

Besides, they came to support their granddaughter. Merchants were already considered lowly by the sons of high-ranking officials, and even with a first-rank imperial consort, the granddaughter's status was still not enough.

The son left early this time because the plan was to find him a job so that he could also become an official, and so that his granddaughter would have more confidence when talking about it in front of others.

"Yes, I found a few. I'll take my older brother to see them tomorrow."

"Alright, but your father wants you to take the imperial examination and obtain official rank."

"Isn't my older brother like that?" Chen Siyuan felt that her older brother didn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing, otherwise he would have started long ago.

My elder brother is a very open-minded person, and he doesn't like the backstabbing and scheming in officialdom.
