"Sister-in-law, aren't you still angry with me?" Qiao Yang said, his expression calming down before he smiled faintly. "I know I was wrong that day, and my mother scolded me. I came here today specifically to apologize to you."
"My second brother has just returned to the mansion, and my sister-in-law has only recently joined the family. They may not have a deep affection for us and may not understand the principle that harmony in the family brings prosperity."
Chen Siyuan smiled.
To reveal one's true nature so quickly shows that one is still too young.
She had been a little nervous at first, but now it seemed she had overestimated this person.
Thinking about what I heard that day.
Qiao Yang secretly went to see the Third Prince.
Now that the Fourth Prince is preparing to use the Black Dragon incident to turn things around, it's impossible for the Third Prince to remain silent. So at this time, it's very likely... Looking at Qiao Yang in front of him, he hoped that she wouldn't take sides so quickly.
In this small general's mansion, Qiao Yuchen supports the seventh prince, Qiao Yang is fond of the third prince, and General Qiao seems to be doing something secretly for the old emperor. This is... quite a mess.
"I understand. If there's nothing else, Second Sister, I'm going to rest." Chen Siyuan said, getting up, seemingly oblivious to the threats posed by some people.
Qiao Yang's expression changed, and he suddenly stood in front of Chen Siyuan, only to be stopped by Chunlan and Chunping.
"Second Miss, please have some self-respect," Chunping said.
"Who do you think you are, daring to stop me?" Miss Qiao Yang lost her temper and tried to attack Chun Ping, but Chun Ping easily stopped her.
After a few exchanges, the two started fighting inside the house.
Chen Siyuan did not linger and went directly to the inner room.
Chunlan followed beside her, seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside.
Chen Siyuan changed her clothes and casually leaned against the bed to read a book.
Not long after, with a loud bang, the outside suddenly became quiet.
Immediately afterward, Qiao Yang screamed and quickly left.
Chunping walked in from outside and knelt in front of Chen Siyuan. "Young Madam, I may have been a little too harsh." Qiao Yang deserved to die, but if she died here, it would cause trouble for Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan smiled and said, "She did it on purpose, didn't you realize?"
Chunlan and Chunping looked at Chen Siyuan in surprise.
“Things have been a bit turbulent lately. Some people are trying to cause trouble, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.” After saying this, Chen Siyuan stopped talking about it. “Prepare hot water; I want to take a bath.”
"yes."
The two maids responded and left.
They didn't know what Chen Siyuan was up to, but she clearly had her own plans.
Seeing Chen Siyuan's quiet demeanor while bathing, they remained silent, simply fulfilling their duties as maids.
Chen Siyuan acted as if nothing had happened. After taking a bath, she quickly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Chunlan and Chunping worried all night, but nothing happened.
The next day.
When Chen Siyuan woke up, she was speechless when she saw the maid with dark circles under her eyes.
It's also my fault for not explaining things clearly.
Two maids helped Chen Siyuan wash up and brought in the prepared food.
They quietly served Chen Siyuan as she ate.
After dinner, Chen Siyuan decided not to go out for the next few days. She planned to stay in the yard to think things over and also to keep her grandfather from worrying about her.
After Qiao Yang's outburst yesterday, I was expecting a storm to rage today, but instead, I was met with General Qiao's concubine, Wang.
Aunt Wang exists as if she's invisible.
Aunt Wang, accompanied by two maids, approached and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets the young mistress!"
In terms of seniority, Aunt Wang is of a higher generation than Chen Siyuan, but Aunt Wang is only General Qiao's concubine, a status slightly higher than a servant. On the other hand, Chen Siyuan is the young mistress, the master, and even as General Qiao's concubine, she has to be obsequious.
The two maids behind her bowed.
Chunping immediately spotted the maid named Yu'er following behind Aunt Wang.
She was clearly a maid, yet she was dressed more exquisitely than her mistress.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that the woman brought over was a prostitute.
"No need for such formalities, Aunt!" Chen Siyuan gestured, offering a slight helping hand.
Aunt Wang rose to her feet. "Now that the young mistress has arrived, it is only right that I come to pay my respects. However, due to my poor health, I have arrived a little late."
"Auntie, you're too kind." She was the young mistress, and there was no need for them to come.
Chen Siyun didn't know what this person was up to, so she played along with her slowly.
With nothing to do at home, this is a good way to pass the time.
This was just a thought in her mind. Chen Siyuan knew that things wouldn't be that simple, especially after Qiao Yang caused a scene yesterday, and then one by one they came. In her opinion, it was premeditated.
Thinking about it, she glanced at the dazzling maid standing behind her, "This maid is so beautiful, you'd think she was the concubine's daughter."
These words prompted Yu'er to step forward and quickly bow, "This servant Yu'er greets the young mistress."
“She is indeed a striking figure,” Chen Siyuan said, glancing at Aunt Wang. “When you arrived, you wanted to…”
Aunt Wang glanced at the maid who had stepped forward and said, "Go down." Her voice was flat and unmoving.
Yu'er, who was originally standing in front, visibly stiffened upon hearing these words.
Even the smile on her face gradually faded.
Chen Siyuan saw this but didn't say anything.
"Go down," Aunt Wang said again.
The maid Yu'er was unwilling to give up, so she could only bow to Chen Siyuan and leave.
"I've spoiled Yu'er, so please forgive her, young mistress," Aunt Wang explained.
Upon hearing this, Yu'er, who had just reached the door, stopped in her tracks, her head, which had been slightly lowered, was now raised proudly.
