Qiao Yang appeared to have calmed down, but he harbored a deep grudge against Chen Siyuan.
Aunt Guo looked at Madam Qiao and said, "Madam, shall I help you back to rest?" She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with Madam Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao's anger just now surprised her, but she wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
Besides, this is Mrs. Qiao's courtyard, so if anything happens, it's Mrs. Qiao's responsibility.
Qiao Zhengang has only been dead for a short time, and now Qiao Yuchen has arrived, bringing with him this woman.
She knew that Madam Qiao intended for Qiao Yuchen to marry Princess Honglian. All these things weighed on her mind, and she was bound to feel a surge of anger.
He glanced at Qiao Yang, then helped Madam Qiao turn and walk towards the inner hall.
Seeing this, Chen Siyuan also didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
My shoulder really hurts. I'm all alone here, and there's no way I can get my revenge immediately if I suffer a loss in this unfamiliar place.
Chen Siyuan wanted to leave, but some people didn't think so.
Qiao Yang saw the woman turn around, a cold smile playing on his lips, and once again charged at Chen Siyuan with the blood-dripping dagger in hand.
Chen Siyuan frowned as she looked at Qiao Yang rushing towards her. This was... her killing move.
Qiao Yang is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to kill Chen Siyuan.
"Second sister—" Qiao Zhen couldn't help but call out to remind her when she saw this.
Seeing this, Madam Xu was very worried. Hearing her daughter's movements, she immediately came over and held her daughter tightly.
She didn't know what was going on elsewhere, but she knew in her heart that her daughter had already passed the imperial examination, and that a conflict with Qiao Yang at this time would not end well.
She really didn't expect that she could stop her daughter once, but not a second time.
“Aunt, I am also a daughter. Do you want me to be attacked and killed like this after I get married?” Qiao Zhen disagreed with Aunt Xu’s actions and questioned her.
Aunt Xu shook her head at her daughter, signaling her not to meddle.
When Aunt Guo was about to send Madam back, she could tell that someone had something on their mind, but she didn't say it outright.
She now realized that Qiao Yang intended to kill Chen Siyuan.
Thinking of Qiao Yuchen's appearance, she worried that no matter how things ended today, it wouldn't have a good outcome, and none of the people present would have a good ending.
Thinking about it, she glanced at Aunt Wang, who was standing to the side and had no particular expression.
She is the best example.
To outsiders, the general's mansion seemed like a nice place, but they didn't know what a filthy heart lay beneath that good exterior.
Over here, after being reminded, Chen Siyuan also saw the murderous intent in someone's eyes.
Under Qiao Yang's fierce attack, Chen Siyuan had to retreat repeatedly, and accidentally, she was stabbed in the arm again.
In Qiao Yang's mind, Chen Siyuan was just a merchant's daughter from a small town. How could she possibly want to sit in the position of the young mistress?
She'll kill this woman today. Even if Qiao Yuchen comes back, what can he do? A dead person is a dead person, and there's nothing anyone can say about it.
Everyone here knows their own identity; if you say one word, no one dares to say anything.
While attacking Chen Siyuan, he didn't forget to glance at Qiao Zhen beside him.
She really thinks she's a young lady of high birth, but she's just an illegitimate daughter who isn't well-liked. It's not too late to deal with her after she kills the one in front of her.
Thinking it over, Qiao Yang didn't intend to linger. She cornered Chen Siyuan and, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, thrust the dagger in her hand directly at the other's heart.
She died just like that, letting the woman off easy, but she knew that many times things went wrong because of procrastination.
Chen Siyuan seemed to have seen through Qiao Yang's thoughts. She watched as the dagger stabbed towards her. She wanted to dodge, but at that moment, she was too slow and could only watch helplessly as the dagger fell towards her.
With so much resentment in her heart, and nothing she could say, she could only close her eyes tightly and await death.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Young Miss—"
These words, these voices, seemed to offer Chen Siyuan, who was in despair, a voice of salvation.
"Young Miss, are you alright?" Chunlan and Chunping couldn't believe it. What would have happened if they had arrived a moment later?
Actually, they should have arrived a little later, but Chunlan suddenly sensed danger to the young lady and received a signal that they had rushed into the General's Mansion without going through layers of notification.
The conflict occurred during this time with those who tried to stop them.
The thought of the young lady being in danger made them disregard everything else.
"It's alright!" Seeing her comforting companion, Chen Siyuan knew that her danger had passed. Supported by her two maids, she looked at Wang Li, who was fighting with Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang does have some skill and ruthlessness, but she is still slightly inferior to Wang Li in terms of ability.
Wang Li flicked Qiao Yang's dagger away and then quickly attacked Qiao Yang with deadly force.
"Wang Li——"
Seeing Wang Li's actions, Chen Siyuan knew what he was thinking and immediately spoke up to stop him.
Hearing the commotion, Wang Li did not let Qiao Yang off the hook. He struck Qiao Yang with a palm, and Qiao Yang felt himself being forced back a few steps by a powerful force.
Even so, she eventually couldn't keep up with the pace and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Qiao Yang's face turned pale as he stared in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared.
who is he?
How dare you injure yourself in the General's Mansion? Do you have a death wish?
"Young Miss, are you alright?" Wang Li didn't even glance at Qiao Yang before coming to Chen Siyuan's side. Upon seeing the scene, he turned to look at Qiao Yang, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
