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...
Chen Siyuan returned to the General's Mansion.
I'm very tired.
After entering, I went straight to the inner room to lie down.
She needs to think carefully about what happened last night and today.
Only by calming down and thinking about the key points of the matter can you avoid being taken advantage of.
Yes, it's all about scheming.
I have been schemed against by too many people.
He had meant well in sending snacks to Mrs. Qiao, but unexpectedly, unpleasant things happened later.
She was thinking that from the moment she decided to buy Su Ji Pastry, it seemed that she had been targeted. From the time she entered Su Ji Pastry and bought so many things to the time she returned to the General's Mansion, not a long time had passed. Who could possibly have started plotting against her?
Thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Chunping beside him and said, "Go and see what big thing is happening at Ping'an Temple today."
"Yes," Chunping replied and left.
Chunlan stood carefully to the side.
Because Wang Li was a man, he couldn't come in, so he stayed in the courtyard as a servant.
After thinking about it, Chen Siyuan felt that Butler Yu was also a key figure in the matter.
If he didn't know where Madam Qiao was, he wouldn't have gone to Ping'an Temple. It wouldn't make sense for a steward not to know where Madam Qiao was.
Butler Yu seemed to be very conscientious and responsible, with nothing wrong with him, and no one could find fault with him. Chen Siyuan always felt that Butler Yu was aware of the situation.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Siyuan waited quietly.
It all started with Heian-ji Temple. Once you know the key to it, everything will be much easier.
While waiting, Chen Siyuan thought about many things. When Jiang Ma returned and heard about what had happened to Chen Siyuan along the way, she rushed over to her side.
Looking at the young mistress lying on the bed, looking listless, her eyes reddened.
Chen Siyuan didn't hide anything from Jiang Ma; she knew they were all her maternal grandfather's people, so it was normal for them to communicate with each other.
"It's alright, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?" Chen Siyuan comforted Jiang Ma instead.
Jiang Ma wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and smiled, "Young Madam is tired. I've made some chicken soup with some red dates and goji berries. Please have some."
Chen Siyuan didn't want to eat, but seeing Jiang Ma's expression, she had no choice but to agree.
Jiang's mother moved quickly, bringing over a bowl of chicken soup.
Chen Siyuan sat up and slowly began to drink.
Later, under the care of Aunt Jiang, Chen Siyuan took a bath and felt refreshed after feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Leaning back on the soft couch, she went through everything that had happened yesterday and today, carefully reflecting on it; it was truly thrilling.
Just then, a small arrow, about the size of a palm, suddenly shot in through the window.
With a whoosh!
It was nailed to the pillar next to the carved chaise longue.
"Who goes there?" Aunt Jiang reacted quickly, said, and chased after them.
Chunlan stood protectively beside Chen Siyuan, glancing warily around.
Soon, Aunt Jiang returned and shook her head, indicating that she had not caught up.
Chen Siyuan heard no noise outside and thought that since this place was controlled by Qiao Yuchen, it must be because the people outside hadn't noticed what had happened.
Feeling aggrieved, she still addressed Jiang Ma, "Is it very quiet outside?"
"Yes." Aunt Jiang's expression softened again.
Chen Siyuan thought, this shouldn't be!
Could it be that the opponent's martial arts skills are so high that even Qiao Yuchen's men didn't notice?
He looked at the small arrow still stuck in the wood and reached out to pull it out.
Chunlan saw this and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Chen Siyuan laughed, "If this person were stuck in my body, I would be dead already."
Chunlan and Jiang Ma both lowered their heads at the same time.
It was because they failed to protect them that some people were able to succeed.
Upon closer inspection, the arrow was an ordinary arrow, yet it possessed such great power, clearly indicating that the archer was highly skilled in martial arts.
She quickly took down the letter, unfolded it, and saw that the few words on it did indeed exude an arrogant aura, with a hint of intimidation.
There was only one sentence written on it.
"If you want to live, come to Xinyuan Teahouse tomorrow!"
Chen Siyuan frowned deeply, then looked at the signature, and her fingers gripping the silk strip tightened little by little.
"Young Madam?" Jiang Ma, who considered herself to be worldly-wise, was worried when she saw Chen Siyuan's expression change.
Since the young mistress came to the general's mansion, not a single day of her life has been peaceful.
Every step is fraught with danger, and every moment is thrilling.
Although she had only been with Chen Siyuan for a short time, she knew about the things that had happened around Chen Siyuan.
I thought life in the Chen family was bad enough, but when I came to the General's Mansion, it was just unbearable.
Chen Siyuan stared intently at the signature on the note, where several familiar characters, written in a flamboyant style, seemed to be mocking her.
If separated.
The fifth prince of the Chen Kingdom.
He was also the man who came to her boudoir in the middle of the night to ask about the antidote for the Ghost Pearl.
At the same time, it was also because in his previous life he was framed by Song Ji and Chen Xin, had correspondence with the fifth prince of Chen, and was ultimately pushed to the executioner's block.
Seeing her familiar self now, she thought of her past life.
This man's letter cost him his life.
The man suddenly came looking for her again, and in a daze, she saw herself on the guillotine.
He hadn't done it himself, yet a letter led him to the guillotine.
hehe--
How ridiculous.
The man came up to me again. Was I about to die?
When she first saw this person in Nancheng, she felt very unhappy. She always felt that if this person died, she would be completely at peace. Now, what is going on?
The note in front of her clearly contained only a few words, but she felt it was a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.
