Aunt Zhao and Chen Xin left with gloomy expressions.
Back to Spring Breeze Cottage.
Chen Xin plopped down, unable to swallow his anger. "Mother, you must get the account book back."
Aunt Zhao's face was contorted with rage. All these years, she had been manipulating the accounts, but now that Chen Siyuan had intercepted her spending, how could she plan a good future for her son and prepare a dowry for her daughter?
Aunt Zhao looked at the two maids beside her and gave them some instructions.
The two maids left quickly.
"Mother, why don't we just kill Chen Siyuan and Chen Luyang!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Aunt Zhao scolded her daughter, her eyes filled with a venomous glint. She then turned to the maid beside her and said, word by word, "Get out!"
The two maids beside Chen Xin quickly left.
Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter and said, word by word, "Are you crazy? How dare you say such things to outsiders?"
"What's there to be afraid of? If they dare to tell anyone, I'll kill both of them first." Chen Xin was completely unconcerned.
If we had just killed Chen Siyuan back then, perhaps we wouldn't be facing all these troubles now.
"Shut up!!" Aunt Zhao's face changed drastically.
The Chen family is no longer what it used to be; it's no longer a time when she can control everything. From now on, she has to be careful in everything she does.
Chen Xin looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Mother, what are you afraid of? Even if we fail, we can go to the capital and find... Waaah..." Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Zhao covered her mouth.
“Watch your mouth, or you’ll never be able to marry into the Tao family.”
Seeing that her mother was truly angry, Chen Xin dared not speak again.
She blamed everything on Chen Siyuan for what happened today.
If she had obediently married that servant Song Ji, she wouldn't have so many troubles right now.
Thinking of this, I felt even more aggrieved. "Mother, what am I going to do about my outfit for the poetry recital?"
"I'll figure something out." Aunt Zhao thought of this and immediately felt a headache coming on.
Now that she has no power over the household management and the poetry gathering is about to begin, there is no hope for Old Madam Chen for the time being. What should she do?
How could Tao Yifan notice his daughter when she was dressed so shabbily?
Thinking back to what the old lady had just said, she felt a little uneasy.
After thinking for a long time without any results, I quietly left under the cover of night.
Unbeknownst to Aunt Zhao who had left, Chen Xin arrived shortly after she left. He secretly took out the jade pendant that his mother had kept hidden in a secret compartment under the bed, examined it carefully, and concluded that it must be a valuable item that could fetch a good price.
With this, she was worried she wouldn't have anything to wear to the poetry gathering.
After making sure no one had noticed her, she quietly left with the jade pendant in her hand.
......
Warm home.
When Chen Siyuan returned from her grandmother's house, she saw Butler Cheng, a famous man, coming in with seven or eight boxes.
While busy directing the work, Butler Cheng immediately bowed when he saw the young lady return. "Young lady, these are a few boxes that Madam left in the storeroom. The old lady asked me to bring them to you."
"My mother's?"
"yes."
I don't have many memories of my mother from my past life.
My mother passed away when I was very young.
In her past life, she only learned after her eldest brother died that she was not a child of the Chen family, but a child that her mother had picked up from outside.
It was her mother who gave her an identity, deceiving everyone in the Chen family, so that she could sit openly in the position of the eldest daughter.
If my mother hadn't been kind enough in my past life to take me in as a scourge, would the tragedy of the Chen family have been avoided, and would the misfortune of my maternal grandfather's family have been prevented?
Chunlan and Chunping didn't know what was going on; they only saw the young lady looking at the boxes and crying.
They were both startled.
The young lady has changed a lot lately.
They began to treat Aunt Zhao with a stern look, and no longer indulged Chen Xin as before. They also discovered that the young lady would shed tears from time to time.
Such a young lady was unfamiliar to them, and it made them worry.
It seems that all of this was caused by that incident.
Lost in her own thoughts, Chen Siyuan did not notice the difference in the maids beside her. She had the two maids open the boxes one by one, and after they left, she faced her mother's belongings alone.
She took the items out of the box one by one and laid them out on the ground.
Soon the ground was covered with them.
Looking at each of my mother's things, it seems like they are keepsakes left to me by my mother.
It wasn't until evening that she finished packing the last box.
The box contained something strange; it was full of books.
Upon closer inspection, some of the items were ancient poems, some were martial arts manuals, and others were ancient books on medicinal herbs and healing.
My mother's dowry was truly peculiar.
They have everything. Considering the strength of my maternal grandfather's Wen family, it's not surprising that they have this ability.
My maternal grandfather cared deeply for my mother.
Perhaps because she was too heartbroken, after her mother died, her maternal grandfather could not visit her and her eldest brother, but would occasionally send them things.
Perhaps she was afraid of seeing them and being reminded of her mother.
With that thought in mind, I took out the last book.
Then she noticed that this box was different from the previous wooden boxes.
seem......
Chen Siyuan tapped it with her hand and found that there was a layer inside.
Carefully open it, and you'll see a small box lying inside.
Upon closer inspection, the small box was made of Phoebe zhennan wood and was very exquisite.
I wanted to open this box and see what treasure was inside, since it was hidden so secretly.
After looking closely, there seemed to be no gaps. Chen Siyuan shook it slightly and felt something inside. It wasn't heavy, but she couldn't guess what it was.
