The three women, each with their own thoughts, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Siyi looked at Fang Mingzhu with a half-smile and said, "Princess Fang, since the Prince has something to attend to and cannot come, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he got up and left without paying attention to the expressions of the Fang sisters.
Fang Ningzhu felt bored at the thought of having a rare opportunity to meet Ling Qingxue again, so she stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will also take my leave."
Fang Mingzhu's face turned purplish-red as she slammed down a teacup beside her.
After Chen Siyi boarded the carriage and left Xiuyifang, she glanced at the sky and immediately told the coachman, "Turn around and head north to Su Ji Incense Shop."
Among the guards following behind her, Yue Jin, who was walking in front, suddenly looked up, glanced to the north, and narrowed his eyes.
When Chen Siyi first went to Su Ji Fragrance Shop, he recognized the delicate young lady who had haunted his thoughts.
If he hadn't happened to run into Ming Shu and the others in Zhenjiang, Xiao Yuan would have immediately sent someone to Daming Prefecture with him.
Perhaps during his time in Zhenjiang, he had already figured out a way to get his hands on this young woman.
I thought I would never see her again, but I unexpectedly ran into her in Hangzhou.
Even more unexpectedly, this seemingly commoner, Lady Su, actually won Xiao Yuan's favor, and Ming Shu even sent people to secretly protect her.
Thinking of this, Yue Jin couldn't help but look towards the carriage.
Chen Siyi probably never imagined that the person Xiao Yuan truly cared about was the Su family.
Yue Jin sneered inwardly.
When the carriage arrived at the incense shop, it was found that the shop doors were tightly closed.
Chen Siyi frowned.
She immediately sent someone to inquire about Su Xuerong's whereabouts from the shops next door.
Yue Jin found out: "Princess, the Su family's residence is in Xingqing Ward ahead."
Su Xuerong was surprised that Chen Siyi would come to her door even though it was almost dusk.
Since she had come, she couldn't turn her away, so she invited her to her courtyard.
As the sun set, the courtyard gradually cooled down. Xiuchun served a perilla drink with ice cubes, and Chen Siyi took a sip and immediately felt refreshed and pleasant.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Su Xuerong asked, "How has your mother been lately?"
"She's slowly recovering. These days, Madam Cui often talks to her, and her health has improved a lot... Speaking of which, it's the incense you made that worked; she's sleeping better at night now."
Chen Siyi said.
Su Xuerong nodded and said nothing more.
She felt that Chen Siyi's unexpected visit today must have something on her mind.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Chen Sirui whispered, "Arong, do you have...?"
Su Xuerong raised her eyes, but did not continue speaking.
"never mind……"
If Xiao Yuanzhen investigates the matter, it might implicate Su Xuerong.
She didn't want innocent people to be hurt because of Fang Mingzhu.
She had already seen through Fang Mingzhu's scheme today. The Fang family was worried that after Fang Mingzhu passed away, she would take the position of Princess Consort of Fenyang, so they couldn't wait to send one of their concubine's daughters over.
Chen Siyi hadn't thought much about it before.
But the thought of the Fang family's scheming made me feel incredibly disgusted.
She could outlive Fang Mingzhu, but she couldn't just sit idly by and watch another daughter of the Fang family become the Princess Consort of Fenyang.
Xiao Cheng will find out sooner or later that she is hiding in Hangzhou. If she hasn't successfully married Xiao Yuan by then, she will only face death.
"You only say half of what you mean, it's so frustrating!" Su Xuerong laughed, but there was no sign of anxiety on her face.
Chen Siyi's eyes suddenly reddened, and she couldn't help but sob softly.
Su Xuerong was also stunned.
In her memory, this dignified Consort Chen had always kept her emotions hidden. Why was she crying in front of her now?
Just as she was wondering how to comfort her, Chen Siyi suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Arong, please help me..."
Su Xuerong looked at her quietly and said slowly, "The incense I make can only bring people health and peace."
Chen Siyi paused, looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, and slowly lowered her hand, asking in surprise, "What do you mean by that, Arong?"
"I'm sorry, perhaps I misunderstood." Su Xuerong stopped talking and lowered her head to drink her beverage.
Someone who could make a madwoman like Xu Wanjing suffer in the previous life wouldn't be without any tricks up their sleeve, would they?
Just a few days ago, Ling Qingxue told her that the Princess of Fenyang had been brought to Hangzhou.
Chen Siyi is the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Xiangyang, so naturally she does not want to marry into the Prince's mansion as a concubine. Therefore, her goal is only to become the principal wife.
As for how to kill the Princess Consort of Fenyang, incense is the best weapon to kill her invisibly.
“You have indeed misunderstood me,” Chen Siyi said coldly.
She hadn't expected Su Xuerong to be so perceptive.
Su Xuerong raised her eyebrows and looked at her, but did not say anything.
Chen Siyi looked at her quietly, then suddenly smiled: "Arong, have you seen the Prince today?"
Su Xuerong's eyes turned cold.
Sure enough, wherever there are women, there will always be struggles against men.
"To tell you the truth, my goal is to become the Princess Consort of Fenyang!" Chen Siyi said coldly.
The mutual appreciation she once showed when she looked at Su Xuerong was gone, replaced by a powerful and oppressive aura.
Su Xuerong looked at her without saying anything.
This is the true face of Consort Chen.
"And today, the Prince secretly invited you to Jujing Garden for a talk without the Princess's knowledge. Only I knew about it." Chen Siyi actually admired Su Xuerong's wit, which piqued her interest.
“You know your own identity. Even if the prince values you highly, what status do you think you can have once you enter the prince’s mansion? But if you are willing to help me, I will ask the prince to give you the position of a concubine.”
