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 strode into her grandmother's Fushou Garden.
As soon as they entered Fushouyuan, Lin Ma, who heard the commotion, saw that it was Chen Siyuan and immediately came out to greet her respectfully.
"Madam, you're back?"
Because of the distance, Chen Siyuan couldn't see who it was, but seeing that it was Lin Ma, she asked directly, "Who's here?"
There was no contact with the Prince of Qi's residence, so there shouldn't be any visitors.
These words did indeed calm Lin's mother down.
Her expression changed slightly, and she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
Chen Siyuan didn't stop walking. As she walked, her beautiful brows furrowed deeply, and she sneered, "Aunt Lin, you're practically an elder in the Chen family. You don't even know who this person is, yet you dare to let her see my grandmother?"
Chen Siyuan felt it should be a woman. Besides, apart from Prince Qi, the Qi Prince's mansion was full of women, and it was usually women who rode in carriages.
Thinking to himself, he strode toward the main hall.
She was very curious about who could make Lin's mother hesitate to even speak.
As soon as he stepped inside, he saw the person sitting next to his grandmother, and his face immediately darkened, his hands clenching into fists under his sleeves.
very good!
Very good!
After causing a scene at Su Wen's place, and then turning the Marquis of De'an's mansion upside down, she disappeared without a trace, only to suddenly appear brazenly at the Chen family's residence.
Chen Xin, you've truly opened my eyes!
Chen Xin was dressed exceptionally elegantly today.
She wore a gilded floral dress, and her hair was adorned with various gemstones, each one sparkling brilliantly.
After following several men, she turned around with all her jewels and jewels. What, could it be that she's hitched a ride on Prince Qi's ship again?
Thinking and watching, his eyes gradually narrowed.
Madam Chen was also a shrewd person. She immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Siyuan, saying, "Greetings to the First-Rank Lady."
Chen Siyuan couldn't bear to see her grandmother's condition. In order to deter Chen Xin, she didn't rush to help her grandmother up and looked at Chen Xin instead.
His gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to pierce Chen Xin's heart and kill her directly.
Who is this?
It is unknown in what capacity Chen Xin has arrived at this moment.
Chunping immediately stepped forward, "How dare you! You haven't even lowered your head to pay your respects to a First-Rank Lady!"
Chen Xin's smile vanished, and he stared intently at Chen Siyuan.
"What, you don't even know the rules?" Chen Siyuan was furious when she saw Chen Xin.
What you do outside has nothing to do with the Chen family. After causing a lot of trouble outside, what will others think of the Chen family when you come here?
"Chen Siyuan, do you know who I am now?" Chen Xin's expression turned cold, and his eyes gradually darkened.
"I don't know your status, but I imagine you're not also a first-rank imperial consort bestowed by the Emperor?"
These words were enough to slap him in the face and enough to make Chen Xin change his expression.
"Chen Siyuan, don't go too far."
“That’s going too far. We can talk to the Emperor about it, but I’m worried that with your status, it might be difficult for you to enter the palace.”
Chen Xin raised her head and looked at Chen Siyuan with arrogance, "I am the long-lost daughter of the Qi Prince's Mansion."
Hearing this, Chen Siyuan was slightly stunned. She gestured for Chunping to help her grandmother up, and then walked over to Chen Xin.
He raised his hand and slapped Chen Xin across the face.
This slap knocked Chen Xin to the ground.
Old Madam Chen was shocked by what she saw. She wanted to say something, but when she saw her granddaughter looking at her, she could only stand quietly to the side.
Chen Xin flaunts his identity as the long-lost daughter of the Prince Qi's mansion, knowing that he himself has no official status and can only endure it, but his granddaughter is different.
First-rank imperial consort.
This identity must have suppressed Chen Xin to an unknown extent.
Chen Xin stood up, wanting to fight back, but Chunping held his wrist tightly.
Chen Siyuan's eyes narrowed little by little.
"Chen Xin, even if you can enter the Qi Prince's mansion, do you think your status is high enough? Don't tell me that Madam Qi has already recognized you as her goddaughter."
This time, Chen Siyuan could probably guess that Qi Hong, the eldest daughter of the Qi Prince's Mansion, falling into the water was related to Liu Xin.
Sure enough, wherever she went, chaos ensued.
"You..." Chen Xin tried to attack Chen Siyuan, but she winced in pain because her wrist was being gripped.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Prince Qi's mansion fell into the water. You must have done this, right?" Chen Xin's mind was far superior to Chen Fan's. Now that Chen Fan was dead, Chen Xin didn't know how he got such an identity.
She thought that once she entered the Prince Qi's mansion, she would have a status.
No.
Even if what she said is true, Aunt Zhao is dead, so there's no way to verify it. Besides, Princess Qi has done so much, so why would she let an outsider smear Princess Qi's reputation? Chen Xin's actions after arriving in the capital would certainly not have given him the identity to enter the Qi Prince's mansion.
At first, I thought she had bewitched Prince Qi and was willing to serve men, but now it seems that she had overestimated him.
This brain of Chen Fan is nothing.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not depends on your opinion," Chen Siyuan's cold expression softened slightly.
Chen Xin dared not lower her head; seeing this situation, she gained nothing.
Chen Siyuan looked at the nail polish in her hand and smiled, "It seems I should visit Madam Qi and see if she is as magnanimous as she appears."
What do you want to do?
"Just chatting."
Chen Xin tried to speak, but was too angry to utter a word. Forced into a corner, he could only kneel down and bow to Chen Siyuan.
Only when Chen Siyuan was satisfied did she let Chen Xin get up. Then Chen Siyuan said something else that almost made Chen Xin vomit blood.
"Remember, you don't need to come next time. Just send someone to bring over all the money that has been spent on raising you over the years."
"Chen Siyuan, don't go too far."
Chen Siyuan glanced at him, and Chunping slapped Chen Xin across the face.
Chen Xin covered his face and looked at Chen Siyuan, who was no longer as arrogant as before.
Later, he left in a sorry state. In order not to cause trouble for the Chen family, Chen Siyuan asked Wang Li to arrange for some minor incidents to occur on the road that Chen Xin had traveled.
He accidentally bumped into a carriage, and then, by sheer coincidence, he stumbled upon a fight between some performers from an art gallery. And just like that, Chen Xin became one of the unlucky ones.
Chen Siyuan waited at the Chen family home, chatting with her grandmother. When Wang Li brought back the results, she smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Xin was ultimately too inexperienced to rely on the power of the Prince Qi's mansion to rise to power.
If she uses her methods to settle things, and I can't do anything about it for the time being, she's too impatient and has offended me again. She'll give someone a chance to rise again.
Now is the most dangerous time, and she will not give anyone else a chance.
After having dinner at the Che family's house, Chen Siyuan left. Before leaving, she told her grandmother that with her granddaughter in the capital, there was nothing to be afraid of. She also told her grandmother to have someone inform her if Chen Xin came again.
She refused to believe that while her identity might not be significant enough in front of some people, it was enough to suppress Chen Xin.
