When Chen Siyuan returned to the Chen family, she first went to her grandmother's summer residence. When she arrived, her grandmother was drinking porridge.

Chen Siyuan went over and snatched it away to eat.

Old Madam Chen watched with wide eyes.

Lin Ma and Chunping chuckled to themselves.

The two people, who had no respect for elders, looked like two children.

After Chen Siyuan finished eating, Old Madam Chen wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, saying, "Anyone who didn't know better would think that our Chen family was mistreating our eldest daughter."

"So it's abuse?" Chen Siyuan asked nonchalantly.

"You silly girl."

“Grandmother, that’s what you just said. As a granddaughter, I should know how to respect my elders. I’m just going along with what you said.”

"Don't make it sound so nice. The greatest act of filial piety you can show me is when you get married."

Chen Siyuan reacted quickly, stood up, bowed to her grandmother, and said, "Grandmother, I've had a long day, I'll go back and rest now." Without waiting for her grandmother to speak, she left.

Chunping was stunned when she saw this, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, bowed, and left.

When Madam Chen saw this scene, her eyes dimmed.

She was worried because she had passed the imperial examinations but was still not married.

"Madam, the young lady is probably feeling embarrassed."

Madam Chen shook her head, "The injury must be too deep."

They knew in their hearts that this happened to Chen Siyuan because she was a servant of the Tao family, and it was possible that the Tao family had instructed her to do so.

Thinking of this, they felt sorry for Chen Siyuan.

Children who are forced to grow up are even more pitiful.

......

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

When Chen Siyuan woke up and heard what Chunlan said, she was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Xin actually went to the art museum.

Although it's called an art gallery, it's a place where wealthy men go to relax.

Another exception is the many lonely women who live secluded in their chambers; they also go back.

She wondered, does Chen Xin have this ability now?

After breakfast, just as he was about to leave, Wang Li sent a message saying that sending the woman to Chen Fan's place was not going smoothly.

As expected, Chen Siyuan didn't find anything strange about it.

Some people were surprised because they didn't know Chen Fan's sexual orientation. After thinking for a moment, they suggested that he take back the woman and find a handsome young man to send to Chen Fan.

Wang Li left quickly, and Chunlan and Chunping accompanied the young lady out.

The young lady has been going out frequently lately, and they've all gotten used to it.

On the contrary, the Chen family home is too small, and every day is the same. It's better to come out.

With so many people, the things they encountered were ever-changing. More importantly, during their time with the young lady, they gradually developed an interest in the cloth shop.

The Shang Kingdom today does not oppose women showing their faces in public, but it is very difficult for women to accomplish anything.

There are precedents for this.

There was a remarkable woman in Qingzhou, whom everyone called the Black Widow.

This woman was indeed a widow. It was precisely because she became a widow that she had to work hard to support her family by showing her face in public. Gradually, this Black Widow made a name for herself.

They followed behind the young lady, and when they saw something delicious, they would stop to buy it, and Chen Siyuan would also get a share.

Chunlan bought a serving of roasted chestnuts, which the three of them shared.

While snacking, I could also watch the crowds coming and going, which made me feel exceptionally good.

The journey to the fabric shop became their happiest time.

Chunlan and Chunping saw a roadside stall selling very unique hairpins and stopped to take a look.

Chen Siyuan ate and walked along, unaware of their actions.

As she walked, Chen Siyuan saw a sugar figurine vendor not far away. She turned to look at the two maids and found that they had stopped in front of a shop to pick out hairpins.

She smiled slightly, not paying any attention, and walked towards the sugar figurine.

Just as I arrived at the sugar figurine vendor's stall, a scream came from not far away.

A startled horse galloped toward her.

A woman's terrified scream could be heard coming from inside the car.

The sound was somewhat familiar.

not good!

That voice should belong to Xia Zhu, the girl who serves Aunt Zhao.

Thinking about this, I seem to know what's going on.

As long as Chen Siyuan could get away at that moment, a child happened to see the sugar figurine stall and ran over.

Chen Siyuan could easily dodge it, but that child wasn't so lucky.

She felt bad that the incident was directed at her, and she was worried about implicating a child.

In an instant, her thoughts raced through her mind. She moved even faster, scooping up the child and trying to escape, but it was too late. Holding the child, she turned to the side, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and with all her might, stabbed the horse.

Pfft—

The hairpin in Chen Siyuan's hand was stuck into the neck of the carriage.

The horse reared up in pain, about to trample Chen Siyuan.

"Young Miss!"

Chunlan and Chunping bought the hairpin but couldn't find the young lady. They searched around but couldn't find her. When they looked over, they saw this thrilling scene.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Chen Siyuan immediately rolled over and pulled the child under her body.

Just as Chen Siyuan was about to be trampled to death by the horse, Chunlan and Chunping rushed over. Because of the distance, they missed each other by a hair's breadth. At the critical moment, someone jumped down from the window of the second-floor restaurant.

The man scooped up Chen Siyuan and the child around the waist and slapped the horse's head with his palm.

Click—

The sound of bones breaking.

The horse didn't even utter a final sound before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Chen Siyuan thought she was going to die, so she subconsciously closed her eyes. After a long time, she didn't feel any pain in her body. Instead, she felt... as if she were being held in someone's arms.

Only after a moment did she realize she had escaped a disaster. When she opened her eyes, she was met with a familiar big face.

"Qiao Yuchen?" Chen Siyuan blinked twice to make sure what she was seeing was real.

Qiao Yuchen's appearance is too easy to remember.

She was beautiful, yet possessed a captivating blend of righteousness and wickedness, with a hint of playfulness on her face.

It's so hard to forget a man like that!

Thinking of this person's identity, thinking that this person is the Ghost-Faced General, he has not yet reached this point, and there are many dangers around him, just like the fifth prince of Chen who found him the night before last.

She instinctively pushed Qiao Yuchen away, creating distance between them.
