Chen Siyuan finally looked at the man properly.
It seems normal for him to treat others to meals; judging from Qiao Yuchen's arrogant demeanor, it appears that others are always trying to please him.
Suddenly I remembered what Tao Yifan said about him being the leader of a demonic sect.
Is this true?
It seems that Tao Yifan has no reason to lie about this matter.
After all, whether it's true or not, you can find out by asking.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
never mind.
Let's not talk about it.
There are some things that are better left unsaid.
“I told you, things are different now than before; the money is all controlled by the women in the house.”
“If you don’t have silver, you can use gold or banknotes,” Chen Siyuan said with a smile.
Qiao Yuchen was taken aback by these words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Is that what he meant?
She's a pretty smart woman, so why does her head look like it's just sitting there for show today?
Chen Siyuan's smile became even brighter, as if she could already picture the scene: "Your friends don't know how to be flexible. Even if they have nothing, they can still get credit for your face." After all, he is the son of a general. She believed that even if they didn't believe in his face, they would at least believe that the general's family wouldn't be the kind of people who would lie about their money.
"What do you mean?" Did this woman not know what she meant by saying that?
"I said your friends are so stupid!"
Chunlan and Chunping chuckled when they heard this.
I was worried about the relationship between Qiao Yuchen and the young lady, but seeing them like this, I think it's actually quite good.
Perhaps the young lady hasn't realized yet that Qiao Yuchen already exists in her heart.
Qiao Yuchen's words just now were clearly using the young lady as a shield.
Everyone says that the second young master of the General's Mansion, who just entered the family, married a woman from a small place. Many things happened as soon as she entered the family, and she and Qiao Yuchen are both unreliable.
These words seem to be intended to tarnish the young lady's reputation, but they are also a form of protection.
"oh?"
"You too," Chen Siyuan said reproachfully to the man, "Qiao Yuchen, do you think my reputation isn't bad enough already?"
"It's not a bad thing if you smell bad, that way they won't dare to bully you."
Most people in the capital know what kind of person he is, and even those he cares about will think twice before saying a single word.
Chen Siyuan met the man's gaze and was slightly taken aback.
Qiao Yuchen raised his hand and ruffled the woman's hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Chen Siyuan, having been through similar experiences, knew all too well that a woman's status in her husband's family depended entirely on the man's attitude. Being protected by the man in this way warmed her heart, and she did not reject his affectionate gestures.
Qiao Yuchen stayed behind and talked about some things in the capital, which Chen Siyuan listened to quietly.
She heard a side of things she didn't know. Looking at the man in front of her, she thought, "He's handsome and so protective of his own. There aren't many good men like him anymore."
Time flew by while we were chatting, and it was evening by then.
The two then decided to have a meal together.
Now their meals are all prepared in the small kitchen in Dongyuan. They may not be the most delicious, but they are certainly very good.
The atmosphere at the meal was great; we didn't talk much. Having someone I care about by my side made the food taste even better than usual.
Soon, this sense of happiness was defeated by the accounting books.
After dinner, Chen Siyuan moved to another spot and started looking at the account book. Qiao Yuchen felt that he had miscalculated.
The original intention was to give the woman something to do, but who would have thought it would ruin all the pleasant times they spent together.
He kept staring at the ledger in the woman's hand, wishing he could become the ledger in her hand.
They are husband and wife, but they treat each other with the utmost respect. If this relationship continues in name only, they will eventually run away.
Thinking about it, he glanced at the visiting card next to him again.
Whose invitation was it?
"Sent by the Tao family." Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat. Luckily, she was clever enough to put it in a conspicuous place.
"The Tao family?"
"Yes, I have already instructed them to send gifts to the Tao family, and they must make sure they are generous."
"You really want to do that?" Qiao Yuchen said sarcastically.
He said that no matter how he tried to warm the woman up, he couldn't, because she hadn't let go of that person in her heart.
"It's not that I'm willing to part with it, it's that the people in the General's Mansion are willing to part with it."
Qiao Yuchen looked around but didn't speak immediately.
Chen Siyuan seemed oblivious to the amusement in the man's eyes. "I had the maid ask the steward for it, and he was quite generous. No wonder it's a wealthy family."
Qiao Yuchen's expression changed slightly. Was he feeling guilty for making such a big fuss?
Chen Siyuan had just finished looking at the account books, stood up, and looked at Qiao Yuchen, "It's so late, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
These words seemed suggestive, and seeing the woman turn and go to the side room, he felt incredibly distressed.
How did I end up meeting such a woman?
They lack discernment.
Why is it running towards the side room so much?
That night, Chen Siyuan slept soundly, but Qiao Yuchen tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The next day, as he dressed neatly and arrived at the door, he looked at the side room and realized that this place could not be kept.
Chen Siyuan didn't have much time for that. She originally planned to check the accounts at home after dinner, but unexpectedly, one of the shops that Qiao Yuchen had entrusted to her had run into trouble. After being informed of the situation and waiting for a long time without Qiao Yuchen returning, she had no choice but to take two maids to check on it.
Not long after Chen Siyuan left, Qiao Yuchen returned and personally set the side room on fire.
He stood right in front of it, watching as the fire burned almost everything in the side room before sending someone to put out the fire.
......
West Garden.
Mrs. Qiao hasn't gone out these past few days, and Jiang Manyun comes to keep her company every day, which has gradually improved her mood.
Upon hearing this news, she couldn't sit still any longer.
That's the East Garden, where Qiao Yuchen lives.
Regardless of the consequences, he led his people to the East Garden.
Seeing the mess in one corner of the East Garden, she stared at it for a moment, her eyes reddening.
When Zhang Ma saw that a corner of the once-perfect East Garden had been burned, and with so much water on the ground, it looked quite a mess.
Sure enough, this East Garden was not a good place.
When the eldest son lived here, the house was in good condition, but he was constantly plagued by illnesses, both major and minor.
The couple has been living here for a long time and haven't heard of any major incidents. Seeing this house is a misfortune in itself.
It would have been even better if the couple had both burned to death inside.
Jiang Manyun spotted the tall figure amidst the mess at a glance.
Just from his back view, she knew that this was Qiao Yuchen, the one who had caused such a disturbance in the entire General's Mansion.
The person who replaced Qiao Zhen and lived in the General's Mansion.
As I looked, the hatred in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
In her heart, she felt that if it weren't for this person's appearance, Qiao Zhen wouldn't have died.
Thinking to himself, and seeing Mrs. Qiao's reddened eyes, he deliberately spoke at that moment, "Aunt, are you alright?"
Mrs. Qiao shook her head, her gaze fixed on the figure in front of her. She desperately wanted to go over and say something, but with so many eyes around, she could only hold back.
