Qiao Yuchen pulled Chen Siyuan away and was about to lead her out when the stubborn Butler Yu blocked their way.
"Young master, young mistress, the East Garden is over here."
The East Garden was clearly prepared for the future master of the General's Mansion, which affirmed Qiao Yuchen's status in the Qiao family.
If Qiao Zhen were still alive, even if he was physically weak, he would still be considered the foundation of the Qiao family. But with Qiao Zhen's death, the entire Qiao family has no successor, and such a good place as Dongyuan has been given to this little brat.
Looking at the woman he married, she was ultimately from a small town and had never seen much of the world. It was unlikely that the General's Mansion would ever regain its current glory.
It's strange, really.
When Qiao Zhen was born, he lived in Dongyuan and was constantly ill, both seriously and slightly. After moving out, he got better for a while. After reaching adulthood, he moved back into Dongyuan. From that time on, Qiao Zhen's health deteriorated. Later, he had to move out. He originally thought he could prolong his life, but he still passed away.
Now they're living in Dongyuan, I hope they die soon!
Qiao Yuchen seemed unaware of the strangeness of the East Garden of the General's Mansion. Led by Steward Yu, he directly pulled Chen Siyuan's hand and headed towards the East Garden.
Qiao Yuchen knew in his heart that he himself could disregard his reputation, but this woman had to care.
At that moment, they were unaware that Madam Qiao was crying her eyes out after they left, while General Qiao simply stood by and sighed.
...
Night finally fell amidst the tense atmosphere.
The East Garden has been tidied up and decorated in a festive manner.
As evening fell, Dongyuan was decorated in a festive manner, with red lanterns hanging high at each station, adding to the lively atmosphere.
Today's wedding was originally fraught with problems, and no guests were invited.
Chen Siyuan sat quietly in the spacious Xitang, waiting.
Qiao Yuchen seemed to be busy with something, and it appeared that their wedding was just for show, lacking any of the joy that a wedding should have.
Chen Siyuan quietly thought about the many things that had happened today. The tranquility before her seemed unreal, as if it were all just a dream.
She hadn't forgotten the look of surprise on Butler Yu's face when she stepped into the East Garden.
She didn't know what the East Garden originally looked like; clearly, someone had secretly done another good deed.
The East Garden was a place prepared by generations of prominent families for their future eldest sons.
It looks like a simple place, but there's more to it than meets the eye.
Whoever lived in the East Garden was essentially the crown prince in the imperial palace, destined to inherit the entire family business.
General Qiao's mansion was no exception; what Qiao Yuchen acquired was also quite simple.
With Qiao Zhen dead, no matter how much they disapproved of their son Qiao Yuchen, there was nothing General Qiao and his wife could do.
Without a son to inherit the vast family business, it's not as simple as all the hard work over the years going to waste.
Another explanation is that excessive killing leads to the extinction of one's lineage.
Having no offspring is the biggest taboo for any large family.
Chen Siyuan stayed in the wedding hall, and after her mind calmed down, she thought about many things.
Suddenly the outer door was pushed open, followed by a series of slightly heavy footsteps.
"Young Master!" The little maid waiting outside hurriedly bowed.
"Get out of here! No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
"yes!"
Chen Siyuan looked up abruptly; Qiao Yuchen had arrived.
They were business partners, and to outsiders they looked like a married couple. Now that Qiao Yuchen had arrived, she felt a bit uneasy.
Has something bad happened outside again?
Thinking of the tense atmosphere between Qiao Yuchen and General Qiao not long ago, could this guy have just gone out to kill someone?
"Crazy to kill and bloodthirsty" was how the outside world described Qiao Yuchen in his previous life.
She didn't know what kind of person Qiao Yuchen really was, but many of the rumors were probably not unfounded.
As Chen Siyuan thought about it, she saw the black boots of the man who came in front of her through the tassels under the red veil.
Qiao Yuchen stopped, picked up the support pole next to him, and lifted the veil off Chen Siyuan's head.
Chen Siyuan looked up and met the man's charming eyes.
The man stared intently at the woman sitting on the wedding bed before him. Her makeup was elaborate and her complexion radiant. After today's ordeal, her face lacked the shyness typical of a new bride; instead, it held a touch of aloofness.
"Are you hungry?" Qiao Yuchen asked, placing the red veil beside him.
"A little."
"Come in," Qiao Yuchen said, turning his head to the outside.
Soon, several old women came in from outside, carrying food boxes and arranging the pastries inside one by one.
Chen Siyuan found them somewhat familiar; these pastries were similar to those from Su Ji in Nancheng.
These are all items I always buy when I go to Su Ji Pastry Shop.
Thinking about it, she paused slightly, then asked, "What is this?"
"Knowing you like it, I specially had them make it."
"Them?" Chen Siyuan was curious, but she was too hungry, so before the man could speak, she started eating with her hands.
Later, a number of exquisite dishes were delivered.
Chen Siyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with using her hands to eat. When she saw the food, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
She was so hungry that she ate in a hurry. Qiao Yuchen thoughtfully brought her tea, which she picked up and drank immediately, as if being served like this was normal.
The old woman and maid standing nearby could no longer remain calm.
The young mistress, who has just entered the house, is being served by the young master; this is extremely rude.
Seeing that the young master didn't seem to mind, they could only stand respectfully to the side.
After eating about one and a half portions, Chen Siyuan slowed down her eating pace.
