Chen Siyuan looked at Tao Yifan, shocked by his words, which confirmed her own thoughts. Thinking about the reason for her cold war with Qiao Yuchen, Chen Siyuan didn't know what to do.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." After saying this, Tao Yifan didn't look at the woman again and mounted his horse.

Chen Siyuan stood still, looking at the person riding on horseback. Did he know what these words would bring him?

If the Third Prince finds out, even his most loyal advisors might suffer.

She owed him again.

Chen Siyuan knew a general idea of ​​the matter from her past life, and she was still grateful for Tao Yifan's reminder.

Once back on the carriage, Chen Siyuan held onto the amber bracelet in her hand, unable to utter a single word.

Chunlan and Chunping were also very worried when they saw Chen Siyuan remain silent.

No one spoke on the way back to the new general's mansion.

Chen Siyuan got off the carriage and went directly to the West Garden. After taking a bath, she had Jiang Ma prepare a sumptuous meal and sat at the table to wait quietly.

Everyone was very happy to see this.

The two had been at an impasse, and they were worried. But now that Chen Siyuan had lowered her head, the matter would be resolved soon, and everyone was happy.

Everyone was overjoyed, but after waiting and waiting, Qiao Yuchen did not return.

Chen Siyuan seemed to have gotten angry too, and she waited at the table.

At first, they just waited, but later they simply brought the account books over and waited.

Those around them felt sorry for him.

The young mistress is of such high status, how could she put herself through such torment?

I don't know what's wrong between the couple, but clearly, what Qiao Yuchen did was very inappropriate.

It's inappropriate to say, and it's very strange.

The vast new general's mansion has only one courtyard, which is the West Garden.

Unlike those who died in other places, they died in the East Garden, West Garden, North Garden, South Garden, and some other courtyards.

These were meant for other women and children, but not here.

If they really cared, they wouldn't have made the young mistress wait until now.

While Jiang Ma couldn't figure it out, Chen Siyuan finally fell asleep on the table from exhaustion, just as Qiao Yuchen returned from outside.

This seemed intentional, yet they dared not utter a sound.

What's even stranger is that even though Qiao Yuchen knew that the young mistress had been waiting for him all this time, he didn't say a word and went straight to the study.

......

The next day.

When Chen Siyuan woke up and heard what had happened after she fell asleep the night before, she wasn't angry at all. She went about her business as usual, seemingly unaffected by what had happened the night before.

Everyone looked at it strangely, but dared not speak.

Chunlan and Chunping, who had served Chen Siyuan for many years, had no idea what was going on with the young mistress.

Logically, she should have been angry, or even impulsively confronted Qiao Yuchen and made a scene. However, Chen Siyuan acted as if nothing had happened and went to Nanguan Street again.

At first, I thought the young mistress was a ninja, but later, as I looked and looked, it seemed that wasn't the case.

They couldn't stay calm.

What exactly happened?

Seeing the young mistress busy, Chunlan and Chunping dared not say a word and could only quietly stay by her side.

In the past, when faced with such situations, they would know to go to Su Ji Pastry Shop to buy some pastries to make the young mistress happy. Even when she had nothing to do, the young mistress liked to eat some pastries while doing what she liked.

But now, in this quiet atmosphere, they can't think of any good solutions.

Chunlan stayed behind to take care of the young mistress, while Chunping went out to find some novel pastries that the young mistress would like.

Chen Siyuan was busy drawing blueprints when she looked up and saw only Chunlan. "Go and deliver this blueprint to the children's clothing store."

"Yes." Chunlan immediately stepped forward, took the blueprints, and left.

It's not far, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Chen Siyuan had just finished drawing when she got up to stretch her body.

Just as I was getting bored, I smelled a delicious fragrance.

The smell was somewhat familiar, it seemed to be... Thinking this, I turned my head and saw a man who had arrived at some point and was sitting on the wall.

"Why are you here?" Chen Siyuan walked to the base of the wall and looked up at Qiao Yuchen.

"I'm here to apologize," Qiao Yuchen said, jumping down from the wall and handing the food box to the woman.

Chen Siyuan took a sniff. "The smell is somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat different."

"What a nose." She could smell it even through the food container; the woman really liked it.

At this moment, Qiao Yuchen was somewhat nervous.

Things that usually seem insignificant now feel somewhat embarrassing to him.

Why does something that looks simple to others become so difficult when it's done by yourself?

Thinking back to how Aunt Jiang had been trying her best to endure the pain while making jasmine pastries at the new general's mansion, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Just then, seeing the woman open the food box, he quickly stopped her, saying, "I suddenly remembered that we haven't gone out for a stroll in a long time. The sun is shining brightly today, we should..." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Siyuan had already snatched the food box and opened it.

Seeing the shapeless pastry inside, Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen and asked, "Did you make this?"

Qiao Yuchen nodded subconsciously, then thought it looked too awkward and simply shook his head.

Chen Siyuan already knew the general idea. She picked up a pastry, but the shape wasn't very good. She must have been trying to make a certain shape, but a small mistake occurred.

She put it to her lips and took a bite. It tasted pretty good. However, Chen Siyuan deliberately put on a frown and looked at Qiao Yuchen, making a face that said, "This taste..."

"If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it." Qiao Yuchen tried to snatch it away, but Chen Siyuan was prepared and easily dodged. Just as the man opened his mouth, she put the pastry into his mouth.

He was forced to eat a little, and after swallowing it, he didn't find it unpalatable. He looked at Chen Siyuan in confusion, and when he saw her smiling eyes, he realized that this woman was doing it on purpose.

He spun the woman around in his arms, but the speed was too much for her, and she begged for mercy. Qiao Yuchen didn't put her down, and asked, "Do you dare to do it again?"

"I won't dare to do it again, I will never dare to do it again."

Qiao Yuchen put the woman down with satisfaction, and Chen Siyuan immediately added, "Of course I wouldn't dare!"

The man did not punish the woman at this time. He sat down with her in his arms, and soon Wang Yong brought over a wine jar.

Chen Siyuan looked at the man with a puzzled expression. Wasn't it inappropriate to drink at this time?

Qiao Yuchen said nothing. Wang Yong set out the wine glasses and opened the wine jar. Chen Siyuan smelled a very special aroma, which also had a familiar fragrance.

What exactly is it?

What came out wasn't white, but purple.

What's this?

"Try it!" Qiao Yuchen had already noticed the doubt in the woman's eyes. He didn't explain, but just urged her on.
