"Yuan'er, this is what your father prepared for you. Keep it safe." The old lady said, stuffing a stack of silver notes into Chen Siyuan's hand.
"Grandmother, what are you doing?" How could Chen Siyuan take money from her grandmother and father?
“My child, things are different in the capital than at home; you’ll need money for many things.”
"I don't need it, Grandma should keep it..."
Chen Siyuan didn't want it, and the old lady smiled.
"You're still too young. Anyway, you're married now. You can't do without some money. Besides, the capital is a place where you can burn money. If you have money, you can buy what you like and do what you want."
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan choked up.
How could she not know that the cost of living in the capital was incomparable to that of the small southern city? She also knew that in the capital, without money and power, you wouldn't even have a place to speak.
Even if you suffer injustice, you can only endure it.
Having experienced it firsthand in her past life, how could she not know?
Having been given a second chance at life, she realized the importance of family and believed that with the experience of her previous life, she would definitely not let herself live such a miserable life.
"Also, bring all the betrothal gifts with you."
"grandmother--"
"Those things are useless if you leave them at home, so you might as well bring them with you. You can't let others look down on you."
"You still have everything the Wen family gave you over the years."
“General Qiao’s mansion is not like other places. You have just married into the family and do not know what those people are like. You should be careful in everything you do.”
"Also, you must never think that you are of low status. There are some things you can't tolerate in everything, and sometimes you shouldn't be too easy to talk to. Once you are looked down upon, it will be difficult to change your ways later."
"I think Yu Chen is a good boy. As long as he can protect you, he shouldn't let you suffer any injustice." After all, he was the child she raised, and he was finally getting married. She was happy and knew that Qiao Yu Chen was a good boy, much better than that Tao Yifan. What worried her was that her granddaughter would be in the capital without anyone to support her. If she was looked down upon or bullied, she would have nowhere to cry.
Thinking of this, the old lady's eyes reddened.
So many years have passed, and no matter how bad this child is, she is still a child who grew up under my very nose. The thought of her going to the capital makes me feel so reluctant to part with her.
She knew in her heart that if she stayed in Nancheng any longer, her seemingly strong granddaughter would be hurt terribly by the rumors.
Thinking about this made her even more ruthless.
Great, really great! Someone has gone too far, forcing them to take this step.
The grandmother and grandson had endless things to talk about, with the old lady constantly chattering on and on.
Chen Siyuan listened quietly.
In her past life, she left with Song Ji, breaking her grandmother's heart. Now, hearing her ramblings, she feels they are all the truth.
Only those who have experienced it can know the truth of many things, and now she is grateful that she has this opportunity.
Surrounded by the crowd, Qiao Yuchen noticed that the woman hadn't returned for a long time and became worried. He came over to Chen Siyuan's side to check on her.
He felt a sense of warmth when he heard the old lady's babbling voice from afar.
Standing in the garden, I did not disturb the grandmother and granddaughter.
Wang Yong and Yang Lei followed behind, increasingly losing touch with their master.
When did our master become so patient that he can actually wait for people?
In the past, if someone were to be so wishy-washy, he would have simply kicked them away and gotten away with it.
Chen Siyuan's thoughts were all on her grandmother. The two maids standing beside her noticed this, but they remained silent, just to show some people that even if she married her, the Chen family would still be there for her.
They knew in their hearts that no matter how powerful the Chen family was, they were only in the southern part of the city. Once they reached the capital, they would be an invisible force.
“Grandmother—” Chen Siyuan suddenly interrupted her grandmother’s rambling and threw herself into her arms.
The old lady was taken aback. Had she said too much and the woman was unwilling to stop?
Chen Siyuan sniffed, her voice muffled.
"Grandma, I'm so glad I have you!"
"Ha, you child!" The child has finally grown up, and it's time for her to let go.
"Grandmother, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"Fine, fine, if you won't come, I'll come find you."
"Alright, it's a deal." Chen Siyuan stuck her head out and made a pinky promise with the old lady. The old lady didn't understand at first, but after Chen Siyuan's prompting, she understood what it meant.
“Grandmother, it turns out I was ignorant and made you sad. After I became more sensible, I originally thought I would stay by your side for the rest of my life and serve you.”
"No, the girl will be too old to be married, and I don't want you to blame me later." The old lady was reluctant to part with her granddaughter, and even more worried that her granddaughter wouldn't leave.
"No, you will always be my grandmother."
"Yes, that's true." The old lady said, deliberately tapping her granddaughter's forehead. "She's all grown up now and knows how to care for others."
"Cough cough—" Qiao Yuchen really couldn't wait any longer, so he came to the door and coughed twice.
The old lady was satisfied when she saw Qiao Yuchen.
On her way back, someone tried to kill her, but this person saved her. Later, she learned that he was coming to Nancheng to propose marriage. At the time, she thought, "What a lucky girl!" But when she found out that he was coming to her home, she thought he was even more promising.
She didn't have many promising young men, and he was the only one who satisfied her in every way.
"Alright, the auspicious time has arrived, so this old woman won't nag anymore."
"grandmother--"
“Grandmother, don’t rush, you can talk for a while longer. At most, we’ll hurry up and catch the carriage.” Qiao Yuchen came over and pulled Chen Siyuan away from Old Madam Chen.
These words are comforting, but the action itself is undeniably stingy.
Chen Siyuan was unwilling and wanted to struggle, but she was trapped in front of the man and could not move.
Madam Chen smiled as she looked at it.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to flirt with an elderly woman like her?
"Alright, alright, let's hurry on our way!" Old Madam Chen urged them on.
"Yes, I'll listen to Grandmother," Qiao Yuchen said, seizing the opportunity to flatter.
Chen Siyuan broke free from Qiao Yuchen's grasp, threw herself into the old lady's arms, and hugged her tightly.
There were some things she didn't say: she didn't know what she would experience in the capital, and she wouldn't return until there was a result.
She has no intention of letting go of any of the secrets her mother left behind, or those who bullied her in her past life.
She had a vague feeling that her arrival in the capital this time, under a different identity, might make the entire capital even more lively.
The grandmother and grandson cried for a while, then laughed for a while, and then said some words of concern.
Until Chen Zhaokun and Chen Luyang arrived.
Chen Zhaokun was reluctant to part with so much, but he also knew that the current situation was the best, as the capital city was not a very good place.
Since it was Chen Siyuan's decision, he supported it. He had already decided that he would go to the capital soon to investigate the truth of what happened back then.
