Wen Kai left, and Chen Siyuan also had her own worries and didn't want to stay. Qiao Yuchen felt the same way.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable on the ground floor of the brothel, the two quickly left in a carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Siyuan was lost in thought and didn't seem inclined to speak. Qiao Yuchen assumed that the woman was still concerned about what she had just witnessed, and since there were no outsiders present, he was even more unsure how to explain.
I always feel that once something has been said, it's never a good thing.
Unexpectedly, Chen Siyuan had come to terms with some things and, seeing Qiao Yuchen's troubled expression, asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I did go there, I just..."
"I know, you don't need to say anything more." Chen Siyuan didn't want to know too much about their affairs.
Failure was inevitable sooner or later; knowing the outcome, there's nothing surprising about it.
She has important things to do right now and doesn't have much time for that.
Qiao Yuchen turned pale with anger because of the woman's indifference.
How could he forget that this woman always thought they were business partners, not a ghostly couple, and wouldn't care where he went?
I'm angry, but I have nowhere to vent.
When he arrived at the general's mansion by carriage, he turned around and left the moment the carriage stopped.
Chen Siyuan stood there, watching Qiao Yuchen leave, and the tension in her heart eased.
It's good that he left. He has things to do, he doesn't need to act, and he can do what he wants. That's great.
Chen Siyuan returned to the East Garden with two maids.
When the people in the East Garden saw the young mistress return, they bowed one by one. After Chen Siyuan passed by, they continued with their own business.
They were all people arranged by Qiao Yuchen. In other people's eyes, they were just servants of the general's mansion, but they knew in their hearts that they had another mission.
That is to protect the young mistress.
Chunlan and Chunping followed the young lady into the room.
Seeing the young lady quietly drinking tea, Chunping could no longer remain calm.
Thinking of Qiao Yuchen's expression just now, she knew in her heart that it was all because of what the young lady had said.
No man can accept that his wife is so indifferent.
They didn't have much affection for each other to begin with, and it's unclear what the young lady was thinking. Since she's married, why can't she be more considerate?
Thinking it over, he approached the young lady and whispered, "Young lady, did the young master seem angry just now?"
"Angry? Am I?"
Chunping remained silent, then spoke again, "Young Master isn't exactly known for his good temper. He hasn't returned to the East Garden for the past few days, and some people have already started talking about it. After what happened just now, who knows what people will say about him?"
Chen Siyuan didn't care much about this matter, and she was worried about it. "Don't overthink it. We'll leave this place after we finish our business. What they think is none of our business."
Chunping was immediately dumbfounded, and even the easygoing Chunlan felt that something was wrong.
They all stared wide-eyed at the young lady.
"Alright, I might as well tell you. Qiao Yuchen and I are just business partners, not the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
Chunlan and Chunping frowned deeply. Did the young lady even know what she was saying?
How can marriage lead to cooperation? Even if what he said is true, what will happen to his reputation?
For a man, it might not mean anything, but for the young lady, it means her reputation is ruined!
"Alright, stop like that. I've long since become indifferent to matters of the heart. It's best not to get involved in these things."
"Miss, can you still not forget Young Master Tao?" Chunlan finally found her voice; this seemed to be the only possibility she could think of.
"I can't forget, but not in the way you think." After all, they were her maids, and she knew what they were thinking. To avoid hearing such things from them again, it was better to be straightforward.
"Huh?" Chunlan was stunned.
What does that mean?
Chunping also didn't understand what the young lady was trying to say.
Just as Chen Siyuan was about to explain more clearly, she suddenly heard a noise outside, and swallowed all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Young Miss." Wang Li's voice came from the doorway.
"Come in." Chen Siyuan stared at the door. He left Wang Li to protect Wen Tao, but what had happened to Wen Tao?
I felt uneasy, but I forced myself to calm down.
No matter how bad things get, I think my reminder should have had an effect, and Wentao shouldn't lose his life.
Wang Li walked in from outside the door and came to Chen Siyuan.
Chunlan had the same thought, and seeing the young lady's expression, she quickly poured her a cup of tea.
After drinking it, Chen Siyuan lowered her voice and asked, "But what happened to my second cousin?"
The slight tremor in her voice revealed the tension in Chen Siyuan's heart at that moment.
"The second young master is injured, but not seriously." As he spoke, Wang Li lowered his head. "Master Wen sent me back to protect the eldest young lady."
Wang Li is Wen Tonghai's man. Today, Wen Tao's injury alarmed Wen Tonghai, and that's how this happened.
"My second cousin..."
"An injured arm, bleeding, and poisoned?"
"Is it life-threatening?"
"Master Wen has been examined by the imperial physician and is fine now, but he wants to rest for a few days."
"That's good, that's good." As long as the person is alive, everything else is negotiable.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan's eyes widened. Imperial Physician, could it be that Grandpa and the Fourth Prince are getting so close?
My heart started pounding wildly again.
"Master Wen instructed me to tell Miss that he has remembered everything Miss said and that Miss need not worry."
Hearing this, Chen Siyuan seemed to feel half relieved.
As long as her grandfather is on guard, she won't need to worry too much about what happens next.
Now that her older cousin is in Beijing, perhaps she really shouldn't worry too much.
Chunlan and Chunping looked at Wang Li. This guy is really something. He always speaks in half-truths. Can't he just say things clearly?
Thinking about how Wen Tonghai had hit the young lady, and now hearing these words, they felt that there seemed to be something going on.
Wang Li also felt that he might have made a mistake. Thinking of what he had heard when he entered the room, he quickly spoke again.
It had an air of self-aggrandizement.
"Young Miss, when I came here just now, I heard that Qiao Yang was seriously ill and that they had already gone to the palace to fetch the imperial physician."
Chen Siyuan's face showed little joy. Regardless of whether Qiao Yang lived or died, those two people must hate her to death.
The feud between me, Qiao Yang, and Aunt Guo is now deeply entrenched and unresolved.
She wasn't too worried about Qiao Yang calling the imperial physician; Qiao Yang wouldn't die, otherwise he wouldn't be so quiet now.
Thinking about it, she realized that there was now another thing to worry about, and she needed to be more careful and cautious in the future.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that I had been unconscious for three days. I wondered if this was related to Qiao Yang.
Thinking it over, he looked at Wang Li and said, "Have someone keep an eye on Qiao Yang and Aunt Guo and see who they're in contact with."
"Yes," Wang Li replied and left.
