With these thoughts in mind, Chen Siyuan continued walking forward and entered Su Ji Pastry Shop. While selecting pastries, she carefully looked around and only bought some mooncakes before leaving.

After they went outside, Chen Siyuan led the two of them on a walk while eating, and they had a rather pleasant time.

At this moment, Chen Siyuan paid attention to the movements on the street.

The situation in the capital became tense, and the old emperor's health was clearly not good. At this time, everyone wanted to make a concerted effort.

I walked around, looked around, and wandered for a long time, but I didn't find anything different.

Just when Chen Siyuan realized that she had been too naive, thinking that even if someone did something, they wouldn't make a big fuss about it.

Seeing the Fifth Princess's hot pot restaurant not far away, she went in with two maids.

The Fifth Princess Consort is now really famous.

The Fifth Prince's wife lost one of her concubines and one of her favorite concubines. It is said that there are not many women left in the Fifth Prince's mansion now. Some have died, some have left, and some have been driven out. In short, the commotion in the Fifth Prince's mansion has never stopped.

During this period, some things happened around me, and the Fifth Princess was also not at peace.

Chen Siyuan admired the Fifth Princess's abilities; she seemed to be taking the route of a shrew, and what was even stranger was that this tactic seemed to work very well.

She heard some things about what happened between the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince from Wang Li.

All I can say is that men are just perverts.

When I held you in my heart, you didn't care; but when the cat turned into a tiger, you clung to it desperately.

Chen Siyuan felt that after so much time had passed, the fact that the Fifth Princess Consort was still firmly seated in the position of Princess Consort at least proved that the Fifth Prince was not acting, but had truly fallen in love with the Fifth Princess Consort whom he had once looked down upon.

Thinking it over, Chen Siyuan, along with two maids, found a private room.

Although it's called a private room, there's only a curtain between each table, so it doesn't completely block out everything from the outside, and you can still hear what's happening around you.

They ate quietly, overhearing quite a bit of news.

For example, Chen Xin returned to the Qi Prince's Mansion. She was the oldest, but she was actually the third young lady.

Haha, serves you right!

Princess Qi's two daughters are both older than Chen Xin, yet she became the third young lady. It seems that Princess Qi has some ability.

Thinking about the relationship between Princess Qi, Consort Hua, and Chen Xin, Chen Siyuan did not let her guard down.

Recently, Chen Xin has been staying at the Prince Qi's residence and hasn't gone out, which she feels is not in line with Chen Xin's style.

Even if they really didn't go out, they must be plotting something bad.

Finally, they might be thinking of underhanded methods to target themselves.

While eating, I also heard many interesting things.

They spoke cryptically, but Chen Siyuan overheard someone proposing marriage to the Tao family. It turned out that Madam Tao, who was supposed to live in the Tao family's residence, was now living on a manor outside the city.

Chen Siyuan knew this was not a good sign, but considering Madam Tao's character, she remained quiet at the estate.

Then there are some funny stories told by strangers.

They were all small things, but it was still interesting to hear them say them.

As Chen Siyuan listened, she also realized that a person doesn't actually have many major issues; it's just that because of their different positions, they become the focus of attention, which leads to their current situation.

After a meal, my stomach was full, and my mood improved a lot.

As she left, she realized that happiness and ease are actually very simple, but too many things that had happened recently had weighed heavily on her heart.

If such negative energy stays in the body for too long, it will cause problems sooner or later.

Feeling better, Chen Siyuan went to see her grandfather again.

When her grandfather heard that she had eaten, and that it was hot pot, he gave Chen Siyuan a lecture.

Chen Siyuan knew in her heart that because of what had happened, she hadn't thought of her grandfather, and that was what her grandfather was really angry about.

Chen Siyuan was quick-witted and adept at making the elderly happy. She promised to take her grandfather out for hot pot the next day, which made him look much better.

Later, I talked a lot with my grandfather, and then we had dinner at the Wen family's house before going home.

When I got home that night, I received two pieces of good news.

The eldest brother was acquitted, and the real culprit in the father's case was found.

Everything was going in a good direction. Upon hearing the news, Chen Siyuan was excited and wanted to go to the Chen family to see them, but unexpectedly, she received a letter from her elder brother.

After reading the letter, Chen Siyuan decided to go and see him again tomorrow.

Chen Siyuan was delighted to receive another letter from Qiao Yuchen in the evening and drank two glasses of wine.

Feeling groggy, Chen Siyuan had insomnia last night, but slept very well this night.

The next day, Chen Siyuan went to the Chen family first.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to go out, he realized that his elder brother was going to the Feathered Clan.

The little bit of excitement in her heart suddenly subsided.

The death of Manager Zhang of the Wen Family Cloth Shop clarified that it had nothing to do with the cloth itself, but the cloth was indeed switched, which was no small matter.

She should feel at ease letting her older brother handle it personally, but Chen Siyuan was still a little worried when she thought of what Yan Yi had said before.

What if they target the eldest brother again?

"Brother, how about I go instead?" They're all women, so they shouldn't use love potions on other women.

Chen Luyang glanced at her. "Are you sure you can leave now?"

"Why?"

What to do with the sample garments from Nanguan Street?

Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan fell silent.

Yes, in the business on Nanguan Street, the older brother handles the external affairs, while she manages the internal matters.

After thinking about it for a while, he was still worried. "Big brother, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't make me worry."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Wang Fei to leave. I'll only be gone for a few days this time."

Chen Siyuan then remembered that she hadn't seen her elder brother's follower Wang Fei since his accident; it turned out that her elder brother had arranged for him to leave long ago.
