The wedding procession arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, but the gate was tightly closed.
No matter how much they knocked, no one answered the door.
Qiao Yuchen immediately ordered his men to chop down the gate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the threshold being knocked down rang out.
Soon, a hole was slashed in the gate of the general's mansion.
Chen Siyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the scene before her.
Speechless.
She clearly didn't like him, but she still insisted on marrying him. It was a slap in the face!
If someone had no shame, they would have turned around and left, then found a big tree, a white silk ribbon, and hanged themselves.
Unfortunately, Chen Siyuan cherished her life very much. Having finally survived, how could she give up her own life?
Besides, she has important matters to attend to in the capital. If she can't handle this little ripple, how can she survive in the capital?
mix!
Chen Siyuan never intended to have a good reputation. Since she was already alive, why not live a carefree life?
Qiao Yuchen turned his head and met the woman's gaze. "Did I scare you?"
Chen Siyuan shook her head, "It was somewhat unexpected."
Qiao Yuchen gave the woman a smile, "Sit comfortably in the carriage, you'll be inside soon."
Chen Siyuan nodded and lowered the curtain.
Logically, a new bride should alight from her sedan chair at the door. This treatment was only given to princesses when they married their husbands, to show the princesses' noble status.
This time, working with Qiao Yuchen, she was treated like a princess.
He kindly gave it to her, and she accepted it. As for what outsiders might say, she no longer cared about her reputation and naturally wasn't worried.
Bang bang—
The sounds continued, one after another.
Even though someone has slashed a hole in the door, all you have to do is reach in and open it from the inside, and you'll be free.
Qiao Yuchen gave the order, and sure enough, the two perfectly good doors were chopped into wooden strips.
Until the last piece of wood fell.
The group carried all the wooden planks to the doorway and laid them on the steps. Qiao Yuchen personally drove the carriage over the planks and inside.
Such treatment was something Chen Siyuan never even dared to dream of, yet she truly received it from Qiao Yuchen.
By cooperating with Qiao Yuchen, he had earned enough respect from the man, and he believed that after today, no one in the entire capital would dare to say anything carelessly about him.
Given Qiao Yuchen's volatile temper, he might say something and then lose his tongue the next day.
Arrogant and domineering, perhaps this notorious figure in the capital will soon be replaced.
In her past life, Chen Siyuan was able to break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital and push Song Ji to the position of Minister. Without a lot of courage, she wouldn't have been able to get to that point.
She has a grand vision; she doesn't even consider the small Qiao family a threat. However, in the vast battlefield of the capital, she'll start with a small one first. It's good to practice and get some experience.
As soon as she entered the door, Madam Qiao issued a challenge, which she accepted!
The general's mansion is divided into two courtyards, front and back.
The front is General Qiao's territory, and the back is Madam Qiao's domain.
The pavilions, terraces, and courtyards are magnificent and grand.
General Qiao's family has protected the Shang Kingdom for generations, and every emperor who ascends the throne dares not neglect the Qiao family.
This is because the Qiao family has protected every inch of the Shang Kingdom for generations, and they cannot allow any country to bully them in the slightest.
In recent years, another general has emerged, Tao Yifan's father, Tao Zhilu.
It can only be said that Tao Zhilu, also a general, has protected his region over the years, but unfortunately, his reputation is far inferior to that of General Qiao.
Every sound coming from the gate of General Qiao's mansion seemed to hit Madam Qiao on the head.
I heard that the gate was smashed, and Qiao Yuchen actually welcomed the merchant's daughter into the house with the same honors he would have shown to a princess. Madam Qiao could no longer sit still.
She and her entourage rushed into the front hall.
...
Chen Siyuan sat in the carriage until it stopped. Qiao Yuchen lifted the curtain and reached out his large hand to her.
"Yuan'er, we've arrived."
Chen Siyuan placed his hand in hers, and as if feeling the warmth of his hand, his initial unease gradually subsided.
With Qiao Yuchen's help, he got off the carriage.
The first thing that catches the eye is the smooth, massive stone floor beneath one's feet, with Qiao Yuchen's men standing on either side, and another team outside of them.
It's clearly a confrontation between two armies.
Judging from their demeanor, Chen Siyuan clearly felt that Qiao Yuchen had a more imposing presence.
Haha, this way of getting married is quite unique.
"Your servants pay their respects to the Second Young Master!" Steward Yu led everyone in bowing.
The words were normal, but the tone of voice didn't sound very respectful.
"Where is Father?" Qiao Yuchen asked coldly, disregarding their attitude.
"The old general has gone to the military camp."
"Go to the military camp? Ha! Go and bring him back."
"This servant..." Steward Yu did not want to get involved in this mess.
"If you can't find it before the auspicious time, you can atone with your death!"
Butler Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Is he trying to get rid of me?
How could this be? He belongs to the lady; he can't treat himself like this.
“Someone come here. Butler Yu is old, blind and deaf, and is no longer suitable for the position. I think…” Qiao Yuchen’s gaze swept around the room and looked at a middle-aged man next to him, “Li You is more suitable to be the butler.”
Butler Yu was stunned, and Li You was dumbfounded.
Everyone's minds went blank.
So they dismissed Butler Yu so quickly?
Thinking about this, they had just felt superior because she was the lady's person, and they didn't take this new bride seriously because they thought she had no background. But now that she had just arrived, and the second young master was acting this way, they started to tremble. Would they also face the same situation?
"Second Young Master, I'll go right now." Butler Yu was genuinely frightened; he worried that if he didn't leave soon, he might never be able to leave again.
Qiao Yuchen is not Qiao Zhen, and he has no bottom line in his actions. He is on the side of his wife, but Qiao Yuchen is the future heir, and he dares not offend him easily.
Butler Yu quickly ran off, and Qiao Yuchen looked at everyone present.
"The rest, the disobedient ones, all of them..." Qiao Yuchen didn't finish his sentence, instead grinning coldly.
Some people weren't as shrewd as Steward Yu. They believed that since they were the mistress's people, they wouldn't be frightened by an outsider's bastard.
"Second Young Master, Madam said that the Eldest Young Master just now..."
Suddenly, the sound of swords piercing flesh came swiftly and powerfully, followed by a chorus of sounds of swords being drawn from their sheaths all around.
Chen Siyuan watched as Qiao Yuchen, on this joyous day, actually resorted to violence, wielding a knife in one direction and drawing another.
It truly adds a vibrant touch to today's joyous occasion.
The fallen corpse, still bleeding, barely held up Qiao Yuchen's red wedding robe, adding a touch of eerie malevolence.
Qiao Yuchen didn't care and simply kicked the body away.
The moment it landed, it blocked the entrance to the backyard.
This action surprised everyone in the general's mansion.
Is this a plan to make a move against the lady?
