Chen Siyuan's heart sank. She knew the Qiao family wouldn't let this go. It hadn't been long, and they were already causing trouble.
I had expected it, but it still made me a little annoyed.
She was especially displeased when her grandmother was about to come to the capital.
With the thought that there was no escaping this matter, she looked at Wang Li and asked, "Tell me, what have they done this time?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li realized that he hadn't expressed himself clearly. "Young Madam, something has happened to Young Master Tao."
"Young Master Tao? What does his troubles have to do with me?" Tao Yifan is the Third Prince's right-hand man. Right now, the Third Prince is scheming against the Fourth Prince. What could possibly happen to Tao Yifan at this time?
“Miss, today I took some people to clean up the shop we just bought. On the way back, we passed a restaurant where Young Master Tao was drunk. He kept telling people that Qiao Yuchen had stolen his wife.”
Clang—
Chen Siyuan felt as if her face had instantly frozen.
"Wasn't anyone stopping him?" Tao Yifan wasn't an ordinary person. Was there no one around him? Besides, if he could say such a thing, were Yu Shuo and Ren Lu, who were beside him, dead?
"Someone tried to stop him, but they were all beaten up by Young Master Tao, and they still haven't stopped..." Wang Li felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the scene.
He usually seems like a very refined person, but how come he behaves like that when he drinks?
Chen Siyuan's face paled slightly. She felt a sense of disgust towards Tao Yifan, but the thought that his white hair was related to her filled her with bitterness.
She hurriedly led her people to the restaurant.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that I hadn't seen anyone yet. I could hear some noises inside, and the conversation was muffled. But if you listened carefully, you could hear Tao Yifan talking about what happened at the Yue Lao Temple in the South City.
Chunlan and Chunping looked unwell.
The eldest young lady is now married to Qiao Yuchen and is the young mistress of General Qiao's mansion. When Tao Yifan mentioned the eldest young lady's name, the news spread, and with some people adding fuel to the fire, even if the eldest young lady had ten mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly.
If the other party were a playboy, I could just beat him to death. But this person is Tao Yifan. The young lady and Tao Yifan had a past relationship, and this has only made things worse.
When Chen Siyuan saw the onlookers and the people spouting nonsense in the restaurant, she wished she could stuff the landlord's mouth into a sack and throw him into a mass grave so he could wail to his heart's content.
That's unrealistic; we have to think of another way.
Looking at the restaurant in front of her and the people around her, Chen Siyuan whispered to Wang Li, "Go, go get some honey and draw a few dragons on the street next door with it."
Wang Li understood what the young lady meant and quickly turned to leave.
Chunlan and Chunping didn't know why, but when they saw the young lady suddenly enter the restaurant, they quickly followed her.
Chen Siyuan arrived at the restaurant and went straight upstairs.
The restaurant owner and staff didn't know who this sudden arrival was, but judging from the situation, things should quiet down soon.
Business in Beijing has been tough this year, and this latest trouble is making him even more upset.
The visitor was, after all, the young master of the Tao family, and he was talking about the young mistress of the second young master of the General's Mansion.
He only heard a few words about this relationship, but he knew trouble was brewing.
Knowing full well that I can't escape it, I feel incredibly miserable.
Seeing a woman arrive with two maids, he breathed a sigh of relief. He hoped things would calm down soon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep his restaurant.
Fortunately, business was tough this year, and there were only a few customers. When Tao Yifan started causing trouble, he immediately cleared the entire restaurant, which prevented serious consequences.
Chen Siyuan went up to the second floor, glanced at the injured Ren Lu beside her, and went straight for Tao Yifan, who was holding a sword and trying to charge at Ren Lu.
He was unsteady on his feet, his face slightly flushed, and what was even more unbearable was the man with bloodshot eyes beneath his full head of white hair.
The once gentle, refined, and aloof young man seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" Chen Siyuan roared.
She didn't want to, and never wanted to, treat this man like this for the rest of her life, but before things got completely out of control, she just wanted to shut him up.
Tao Yifan, who was already bloodthirsty, instinctively thrust his sword at her upon hearing the commotion.
Chunlan and Chunping tried to stop her, but they were no match for the sword in Tao Yifan's hand.
Pfft—
The sound of a sharp instrument piercing flesh.
"Young Miss—"
"Young Miss—"
Chunlan and Chunping always believed that Tao Yifan liked the young lady and would never lay a hand on her.
The young lady was a sensible person, and they certainly didn't expect this to happen.
They tried to get closer, but Chen Siyuan said, "Don't move, this is what I owe him." These words left them frozen in place.
What exactly is going on here?
Ren Lu was also stunned.
He knew that the young master was drunk today because he couldn't let go of Chen Siyuan. Who would have thought that the salary would hurt Chen Siyuan?
"Yuan'er—" Tao Yifan stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. He was originally a little drunk, but at this moment he was completely sober.
He initially thought it was just another woman sent by those same people, and he only wanted to kill them. He never expected that he would end up hurting the woman he cared about most.
"This is what I owed you, and now I've paid it back." Chen Siyuan said, forcefully pulling the sword out of her shoulder. She turned around, letting the blood drip from her shoulder onto the ground, and walked out with difficulty.
Chunlan and Chunping tried to help, but were refused.
