General's Mansion.

Beiyuan.

Chen Siyuan woke up and headed towards Nanguan Street.

She had a good idea about the fabric.

When I arrived, my older brother was there too. Seeing his expression, I knew that things had come to a conclusion.

No one spoke; they went straight to the backyard.

"It's Wen's Cloth Shop."

Hearing this, Chen Siyuan was not surprised.

Wen's Cloth Shop used to dominate the capital. I deliberately avoided the high-end route, but there are only so many people in the capital who buy clothes. Because I sell sample clothes at low prices, many young ladies buy several sets at a time, which has some impact on Wen's Cloth Shop.

It's understandable that Wen's Cloth Shop did this.

Such underhanded tactics are truly a headache.

"What has the eldest brother decided to do?"

“The Wen family has connections in the palace,” Chen Luyang said reluctantly.

It was only because during his investigation that he saw Wen Wan'er from the Wen Family Cloth Shop enter the palace.

She arrived at the palace gates and was not stopped at all; she went straight in.

Clearly, Wen Wan'er is a simple woman, and they must be careful when dealing with people connected to the palace.

"I heard that the Wen family has two older brothers."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luyang understood what it meant.

I initially thought it would be a bit difficult, since I knew a little about the Wen family.

Back then, Wen Wan'er married a man who died young. In the same year her husband died, the Wen family suffered another misfortune: both of Wen Wan'er's older brothers died in accidents. With no one to carry on the family line, Wen Wan'er returned to take charge.

Everything was going smoothly for Wen Wan'er.

Having lost her husband and having no children, she had no chance of establishing herself in the other family. At this time, her two older brothers also died, forcing Wen Wan'er to return to the Wen family.

The Wen family did indeed flourish under her leadership, but was it really just a coincidence?

Wang Li was investigating matters outside and hadn't looked into this incident, but Chen Siyuan knew that things weren't so simple.

Only by knowing someone's secrets can you find a way to strike at their vital point.

If it was indeed Wen Wan'er who made the move, she wouldn't mind having a showdown; if someone was secretly manipulating things, then she wouldn't mind exposing the person behind it all.

I trust my brother's abilities. There are too many cunning people in the capital; it's best to be cautious.

In fact, she was more worried about her older brother's straightforward nature, which might lead him to do something irrational.

Let him continue his investigation; that's the best course of action.

Chen Luyang left quickly.

Chen Siyuan wanted to be alone for a while.

She went out onto the street and wouldn't let Chunlan and Chunping follow her.

But she knew they were not far behind her.

As she looked and thought, many things flashed through Chen Siyuan's mind.

Suddenly, Chen Siyuan saw a familiar figure on the street.

She followed him instinctively.

I had only taken a few steps when I was suddenly grabbed and dragged into a small alley.

Chunlan and Chunping realized something was wrong and quickly chased after her. They were only a few steps apart, but they lost sight of Chen Siyuan.

The situation was urgent, and Chunlan and Chunping not only delayed but also quickly sent out signals.

I started searching around myself.

At that moment, Chen Siyuan was in an alley not far from them.

Chen Siyuan looked at Su Wen, who was covering her mouth.

At this moment, Su Wen was a stranger to him. He thought that he had already asked Qiao Yuchen to remind this person, so he should know.

"Waaah—" Su Wen used too much force, and Chen Siyuan could only make noise to make Su Wen let go.

Su Wen then realized his mistake, glanced around, and pulled Chen Siyuan along, leading them through a maze of turns into a house.

Chen Siyuan knew that Su Wen meant her no harm, so she quietly followed them away. She saw them abruptly enter someone else's house, and the family acted as if they hadn't seen them at all.

Chen Siyuan was led into the house by Su Wen, and then they passed through the house to a separate courtyard.

This villa looks a bit different in style; it seems to be an architectural style similar to that of Jiangnan.

Owning a house like this in the capital is no small feat. After Su Wen stopped, Chen Siyuan looked at Su Wen and said, "Just say what you have to say."

Su Wen stared intently at Chen Siyuan, "Young Madam is quite special."

"It's alright!" Chen Siyuan didn't want to waste any more words; she was worried that Chunlan and Chunping would be frantic with worry.

"You said those words, didn't you, Young General?"

Chen Siyuan nodded, "Yes, I was just trying to be helpful."

"How did you know?" This is what Su Wen found strange.

He carried out this mission in secret. Logically speaking, this matter was not in his area of ​​expertise; he was simply following orders.

What puzzled Su Wen even more was that ever since she heard Qiao Yuchen's reminder, so many things had happened around her.

"I have superpowers."

Su Wen sneered, looking at Chen Siyuan. He had always been rational in his judgments and spoke based on evidence. He would not believe such nonsense.

But because this person was Chen Siyuan, and he had observed her for a while, he found her to be very special, which is why he was willing to bring her here.

He genuinely respected her, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her to the family's secret base.

He had only just learned about this secret base and didn't know when his grandfather had done all this for him, but he was filled with gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Whether you believe it or not, when I first saw you at the General's Mansion, I knew you would be in some trouble recently. The last time I saw you, I wanted to say something, but because of Chen Xin's matter, I didn't have the chance to speak."

Do you think I would believe that?

"Believe it or not, I'm only telling you what I know because you helped me this once," Chen Siyuan said frankly.
