Chen Siyuan pondered quietly, wondering what Tao Yifan meant.
Logically, breaking off the engagement would be good for everyone, so why did he still send apples?
They thought about it a lot, but they still couldn't understand why Chunlan and Chunping couldn't find any poison on the apples after various tests.
At this point, Chen Siyuan had lost all interest in eating.
Just then, a commotion arose outside, and then Butler Cheng rushed in.
"What's wrong?" This was the first time the butler had come to find him.
Chen Siyuan asked calmly.
In her past life, she went through many things to help Song Ji get promoted, and remaining calm and composed was a must-learn skill.
Cheng Feng, the old steward of the Chen family, was slightly taken aback upon seeing the young lady like this. She had truly changed. Thinking this, he quickly said, "Aunt Zhao attempted suicide by hanging, but her maid discovered it in time and saved her. She's causing quite a commotion, young lady. What do you think..."
"The woman my father married should go to my father if she has any problems."
"The master has gone out on a business trip and will not be back for a few days."
Chen Siyuan frowned. "What should we do? Why don't you go and tell Aunt Zhao to delay her death for a few days?"
Butler Cheng was stunned. Was the young lady trying to force Aunt Zhao to her death?
Chunlan and Chunping also felt it was inappropriate.
Aunt Zhao is bad, she should have died long ago, but we can't let the young lady bear this infamy.
“Young Miss,” Chunlan couldn’t help but speak up from the side.
Chen Siyuan's eyes darkened as she looked at Butler Cheng. "Butler Cheng, is there something you want to say?"
Butler Chen lowered his head. Since that incident, the young lady had changed a lot. As an old man, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw her. She seemed even more difficult to deal with than Aunt Zhao.
"Now that the affairs of the manor are being handled by the eldest young lady, and since the master is not here, it would be good for the eldest young lady to go and take a look."
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment and seemed to agree with Steward Cheng's words. She then led two maids and the steward toward Aunt Zhao's Spring Breeze Abode.
Before even reaching Chunfeng Xiaozhu, they heard Chen Xin's heart-wrenching cries coming from inside.
Chen Siyuan stopped in her tracks and looked at Cheng Feng. "If I remember correctly, my half-sister should still be under house arrest, right?"
"It should be." Butler Cheng lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
Today's young lady is really hard to deal with.
"Since we're here, let's go take a look. I'm thinking, I have a bad temper. What if Aunt Zhao is just pretending to commit suicide, and I can't stand her pretentious act and help her die a quick death? Who will I blame then?"
Chunlan and Chunping began to break out in a cold sweat.
OMG!
That young lady really dares to say anything!
Chen Siyuan didn't care what they thought. She walked slowly to the door, kicked it open, and the noisy room instantly fell silent.
Chen Xin, with his back to the door, turned around and saw Chen Siyuan. He immediately stood up, pointed at her nose, and questioned her.
"Why is my sister so aggressive? Why do you have to drive Mother to her death? Have you forgotten how many health problems Mother has developed over the years taking care of you? And now that you're all grown up, you want to drive Mother to her death?"
"What kind of behavior is this!"
An aged voice came from outside.
Soon, Madam Chen came in from outside, supported by Lin Ma.
When Chen Siyuan saw Madam Chen, her grandmother, her usually calm eyes instantly filled with tears.
Upon seeing this, Butler Cheng immediately went to greet her, "Madam, you're back?"
"People are almost dying, how could she not come back?" Old Madam Chen came to Chen Siyuan and slammed her cane heavily on the ground. "She's such a grown woman, and she can't even handle this little thing. How can she be worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Chen family?"
Chen Siyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "It's all my fault, I've disappointed my grandmother." She knelt on the ground and slammed her head down with a thud.
Her grandmother left this time because she was so angry with herself.
Because his maternal grandfather had sent him two boxes of jewelry, which he then handed over to Aunt Zhao, his paternal grandmother scolded him for it. He was so ungrateful that he even called his grandmother senile.
Thinking about it, she was truly repentant.
The grandmother in front of her was someone who truly cared about her, yet she repeatedly broke her grandmother's heart.
Looking at her granddaughter kneeling on the ground, what was going on this time?
Immediately, Aunt Zhao, who didn't dare to make a sound, became even more dissatisfied, thinking that it must have been her instigation again.
Lin Ma knew exactly what Old Madam Chen meant, and immediately turned to Chunlan and Chunping beside her, saying, "How can you take care of the young lady? Don't you know that the young lady's health is precious? You even made her kneel?"
Chunlan and Chunping immediately helped the young lady up.
Chen Siyuan lowered her head slightly, her eyes red, and glanced at her grandmother. She felt ashamed and wanted to say some things to her grandmother's face.
"Grandmother, it was all because I was ignorant. Please don't be angry."
"Hmph—" Old Madam Chen turned her head to look to the side in anger.
Chen Siyuan felt very ashamed. In her previous life, because she had agreed to Song Ji's marriage proposal, her grandmother was furious and moved out of the Chen family and never came back. Less than half a year later, her grandmother passed away.
Thinking about it, Chen Siyuan felt extremely ashamed.
She reached out to tug at her grandmother's sleeve, but was dodged.
She could only look to Lin Ma for help. Lin Ma was surprised by the young lady's change. Thinking about what had happened, she spoke up to speak well of the young lady.
"Why does the young lady look a little pale?"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Chen immediately looked at Chen Siyuan and said, "Where is she pale? I see her as having a rosy complexion. She's perfectly fine!"
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan pretended to be very weak, leaning against Chunlan, "I feel a little dizzy."
"Young Miss, are you alright?"
"Young Miss, please don't frighten me!"
Chunlan and Chunping worked together so well that Madam Chen was initially worried, even though she knew it might be an act. But when she saw the red marks on their foreheads, she felt extremely distressed.
"Quickly, quickly help the young lady back to rest."
At Madam Chen's word, Butler Cheng immediately responded.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, apart from Aunt Zhao and Chen Xin, there were only a few maids in the entire Chunfeng Xiaozhu, and no one else.
Aunt Zhao stopped making a fuss, and Chen Xin stopped crying.
They staged this whole thing to force Chen Siyuan to make a statement.
Regardless of whether things have changed, they should at least not be confined. Once they are free, they will regain the power they have lost.
Chen Siyuan was indeed lured there, but the appearance of Old Madam Chen disrupted their plans.
Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth in hatred.
All these years, I haven't been officially recognized as his wife because this old woman has been blocking me. Otherwise, she wouldn't still be making her children suffer such injustices.
