The sound of Chen Siyuan slapping her was too loud.
It shocked everyone present.
Qiao Zhen and Aunt Xu were the most surprised.
This woman is incredibly bold; does she not know Qiao Yang's status in the Qiao family?
Looking at it, I felt a little sorry for it.
Qiao Zhen was about to speak when Aunt Xu pulled her back. She looked at Chen Siyuan with pity.
Offending Qiao Yang will inevitably lead to bad consequences. I hope she can be as fragile as I am.
"Insolence!" Madam Qiao finally spoke, throwing the teacup in her hand directly at Chen Siyuan's feet.
Today, she was supposed to set rules for Chen Siyuan in front of everyone, but unexpectedly, this woman started setting rules first.
Thinking about what Zhang Ma said yesterday, and looking at this woman, she's truly lawless!
Someone from a small town, does she think the General's Mansion is some kind of place where she can run wild!
"Mother—" Chen Siyuan bowed slightly, then straightened her back.
In her previous life, Chen Siyuan had not experienced such things. She had seen a lot of things in wealthy and powerful families and had a clear understanding of many things.
Since Madam Qiao wants Qiao Yang to establish her authority, why doesn't she use Qiao Yang to retaliate?
Besides, no matter how noble Qiao Yang's status is, she is still just a younger sister-in-law.
So many people were silent, yet she opened her mouth and insulted them; she brought it on herself.
With her already having leverage over him, what was she afraid of?
"Chen Siyuan, how dare you!"
“Mother, I don’t care what my second sister says about me, but if word gets out that she’s humiliating her own brother, it might not be good for the General’s Mansion.” Chen Siyuan was not afraid.
Based on Qiao Yang's single word "bastard," you can't say that anywhere.
If Mrs. Joe covers it up, she will bear joint liability.
"You..." Qiao Yang was furious. He suddenly jumped up and rushed over, wanting to teach Chen Siyuan a lesson.
Chen Siyuan stood still, meeting Qiao Yang's gaze. "Second sister, there are some things you can't say even in your own home. This is the capital, the General's Mansion, right under the Emperor's nose. You openly insult your brother like this. To put it mildly, you are disrespecting your brother. To put it more seriously, you are defying the Emperor's authority!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Yang snapped.
Even if she was naive, she knew that 'imperial authority' was no small matter.
"Everyone knows that Qiao Yuchen is the second young master of General Qiao's mansion. Even the old emperor knows about this. You have openly insulted not only your brother, but also your father and the old emperor. Do you know what this one sentence will bring to the General's mansion?"
Even though the old emperor is currently unwell and not dead, and even the old emperor knows about this, to openly slander him is to show contempt for imperial authority. If these words are relayed to the old emperor's spies, a single word from the old emperor could render the entire General's Mansion a thing of the past.
The country is now at peace and there is no need for war. In recent years, a general named Tao has been cultivated. I believe this should be a way to keep the country in check.
She believed that some people were too short-sighted to see these things, but as an elder of the General's Mansion, she should know something about them.
Like Qiao Zhen's death.
Many people say that Qiao Zhen was poisoned to death, but who was the real person who poisoned him?
Chen Siyuan looked at Madam Qiao, thinking that she should know best.
"Fine! You bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Qiao Yang couldn't hold back any longer, bent down and pulled out the dagger stuck in his leg, and charged at Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan never expected Qiao Yang to be so bold as to openly attack her.
She caught a glimpse of everyone's expression out of the corner of her eye and quickly looked away.
Unfortunately, I had a strong desire to learn martial arts, but before I could realize it, I ended up here.
Now that Chunlan and Chunping are not around, she is destined to suffer. When she cannot ask others for help, she barely manages to avoid them.
Unfortunately, she underestimated Qiao Yang's speed.
Those who practice martial arts are always a fraction faster than ordinary people.
Someone who can exchange a few blows with General Qiao is no ordinary person.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Siyuan decided not to stay there any longer and prepared to run away.
Qiao Yang also realized Chen Siyuan's intention. She lunged forward and stabbed the dagger in her hand directly at Chen Siyuan's arm.
This move was forceful; it seemed that in an instant, Chen Siyuan felt the pain of her arm being dislocated.
Compared to death, this pain is nothing, and Chen Siyuan would never allow the executioner to do this to her.
What she found even more unacceptable was that the gate to Mrs. Qiao's courtyard was closed from the outside at this time.
Seeing this, she seemed oblivious to the pain in her arm. She turned around and kicked Qiao Yang. Qiao Yang winced in pain, and her grip on the dagger loosened slightly. Chen Siyuan took the opportunity to sidestep and dodge.
Qiao Yang gripped the blood-dripping dagger, staring bloodthirstyly at Chen Siyuan. "How about it? Are you scared now?"
No matter how nicely she puts it, she's really not afraid to kill someone in her own general's mansion.
At most, she would tell someone else that she would say something different: if she didn't kill the person who dared to humiliate her today, she wouldn't be the second young lady of the Qiao family.
This woman, surnamed Qiao, comes from a small town and yet she dares to boss people around in the General's Mansion. Who gave her that right?
Chen Siyuan clutched her bleeding shoulder and looked at Qiao Yang, thinking, "He really is someone who isn't afraid of death."
Whether she has the ability to kill herself is another matter.
Thinking it over, she released her hand from her shoulder, letting the blood drip down. Her gaze was fixed on Qiao Yang, and then she took in everyone's expressions. Finally, she stopped waiting.
He took out the pill Chunlan had given him from his sleeve, crushed it forcefully, and applied it to his injured arm. It seemed that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, but the wound still hurt a lot.
She then took out the jade pendant that Qiao Yuchen had given her from her waist, held it in her hand, and looked at Qiao Yang, "Qiao Yang, if you have the guts, then kill me!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Killing someone was a piece of cake for Qiao Yang.
"Kill me, and Qiao Yuchen will kill you too!" This was Qiao Yuchen's promise to himself.
"Haha—" Qiao Yang laughed loudly and rushed towards Chen Siyuan, preparing to use the dagger in his hand to cut off the woman's proud neck.
“No—” Mrs. Qiao suddenly exclaimed.
Qiao Yang was somewhat surprised and looked at Madam Qiao, "Mother, it was this bitch who started it..."
"I've said enough!" Mrs. Qiao said, and no one dared to say anything.
In the Qiao family, apart from General Qiao, no one dared to disobey Madam Qiao.
"Mother--"
Qiao Yang came over, and she wanted to say something. In this family, she had been favored by General Qiao since the moment she was born, and even Madam Qiao liked her very much. Many people couldn't tell whether Qiao Yang was born from Madam Qiao's womb.
When Aunt Guo saw that the madam's expression had changed and then saw her daughter, who was now in a bloodthirsty rage, she quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Yang'er, you've frightened the madam."
Qiao Yang wanted to say something, but was met with a look from Aunt Guo. She glared at Chen Siyuan with hatred, thinking that she didn't know what had gotten into Madam today. She decided to let this bitch go for now, because she wouldn't have such a good chance next time.
