Princess.

Princess Qi Ya, a princess from a foreign family, is the cousin of the Third Prince.

In my past life, I followed Song Ji to the capital, and the person I heard about most was Princess Qiya.

To be honest...

Princess Qiya and Prince Qi are both from different families, but they both seem to have won the favor of the old emperor.

A prince from another family, and a princess from another family.

If Prince Qi was a nobody, then Princess Qiya was the epitome of arrogance and domineering.

It rivals his own reputation.

However, Princess Qiya's territory is in the capital, while his own is in the southern city. They differ by only one character, yet both have extraordinary influence.

In her previous life, Chen Siyuan paid little attention to Princess Qiya.

All I know are bad things.

Suddenly, Princess Qiya arrived in Nancheng. Was she looking for Tao Yifan?

Judging from Tao Yifan and Ren Lu's expressions, it probably isn't a good thing.

Chen Siyuan wasn't the kind of person who was out of touch with reality, so she quickly took a step back and said, "Young Master Tao, I've been out for quite a while, I should go back now."

Tao Yifan looked at her apologetically, "Okay, I'll take you home first."

"No need, I can do it myself."

Tao Yifan was taken aback by that remark, and his expression turned somewhat awkward. He quickly recovered and hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think."

"Are you talking about the Third Princess?" Chen Siyuan found it amusing to see the man's nervous expression.

Is this his explanation?

"The Third Princess and I actually..." Tao Yifan had no experience in this area and didn't know what to say without causing misunderstandings.

Ren Lu, watching from the side, was speechless.

She's just a woman, young master, why are you so nervous?

He had never been afraid of the intrigues and backstabbing in the court, but now he had become a stutterer because of a woman.

"Are you trying to say that you have no relationship with the Third Princess and that I shouldn't misunderstand?"

"Yes." Tao Yifan nodded immediately.

"I didn't misunderstand," Chen Siyuan said, chuckling softly.

Tao Yifan then noticed the smile on the woman's face and realized that he had been deceived by her.

I was speechless.

This woman is too cunning.

In order to punish the woman, Tao Yifan pulled her quickly to the outside of the Yue Lao Temple, and then took Chen Siyuan on horseback and left.

When Ren Lu came out, he only saw their backs.

He appointed someone to ride away.

Just now I thought Princess Qiya's arrival was a big deal, but now it seems it's not such a big deal after all.

Seeing that the young master still had the mood to take a woman for a drive, it seemed that it was no big deal.

They had witnessed Princess Qiya's formidable prowess in the capital, but they doubted she possessed the same abilities in the southern city.

Ren Lu had oversimplified things.

Princess Qiya did not arrive suddenly.

She came after hearing some rumors.

Tao Yifan took Chen Siyuan into the city. Chen Siyuan made an excuse to dismount, and Tao Yifan, knowing what women cared about, did not force her.

When he left today, he was in a hurry and confused. He only wanted to prove the woman's status in his heart. After all, they only had a marriage contract and had not yet married. It was still inappropriate to openly flaunt the woman like that. Therefore, he put the woman down and let her into the carriage he had arranged. He arranged for two guards to take her to the Chen family. He watched the departing carriage and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

They headed towards the Tao family's house without worry.

When Princess Qiya arrived at the Tao family, he had to intervene no matter what.

Chen Siyuan sat in the carriage, swaying back and forth, still wondering what kind of person Tao Yifan really was.

Even though there was no one around, a carriage suddenly appeared just as she was about to dismount. She was amazed by Tao Yifan's strength; he could always have someone he could trust appear at any time. Such an ability was not something that ordinary people possessed.

Yu Shuo rode at full speed from the capital back to Nancheng. Just as he was about to head to the Tao family, he suddenly saw Tao Yifan on horseback.

"Young master, an urgent report from the capital."

Yu Shuo dismounted and came to Tao Yifan, delivering the letter to him.

Tao Yifan looked over. Princess Qiya had just arrived, so why was there another urgent report from the capital? Could it be that Princess Qiya's arrival was just a ruse?

Upon realizing this possibility, Tao Yifan immediately opened the letter.

Yu Shuo and Ren Lu are the same kind of people. They are his right-hand men and brothers who will live and die together. The last time he left the capital, he deliberately left Yu Shuo in the capital.

The secret to Tao Yifan's success lies in his ability to obtain firsthand information so quickly and without falsifying it.

He never appointed outsiders; those in key positions were always his most trusted brothers.

Tao Yifan glanced at the letter in his hand, but after only a few glances, his expression changed drastically.

"Young Master?"

"Prepare the horses!" The letter in Tao Yifan's hand instantly turned into powder.

Ren Lu immediately made preparations.

Soon, Tao Yifan left with a group of people.

......

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Siyuan thought of the scene from her previous life once again.

She wondered to herself, what would have happened if she had been with Tao Yifan in her past life?

Will she leave herself scarred and wounded, and even send herself to the guillotine?

Chen Siyuan was feeling very troubled, unsure of how to deal with Tao Yifan.

Tao Yifan is a very good person. In his previous life, even in that position, he was a good official who cared about the people.

Having followed Song Ji step by step to the position of Minister, she had traveled through the capital and learned that while the powerful families and noble clans of the capital appeared to be high-ranking nobles, behind their backs lay countless unsavory and shameful deeds.
