"The second young lady was punished, and the young mistress gradually gained a foothold in the mansion."
Chen Siyuan looked at Aunt Wang, composed herself, and smiled, "Aunt, just say what you have to say." This roundabout way of speaking is annoying.
There was nothing much going on at the moment, and she didn't want to waste it.
If it weren't for the amber on Aunt Wang's wrist, she wouldn't have given her even this much time.
She didn't know why Aunt Wang deliberately showed off her beeswax in front of her. Chen Siyuan was a person who had lived two lives, and her thoughts wouldn't be easily led by others.
Aunt Wang was slightly taken aback, not expecting Chen Siyuan to be so direct.
After a long pause, she chuckled softly and took the amber bracelet from her hand. "Young Madam, do you recognize this?"
Chen Siyuan didn't know what this person knew, but he was clearly convinced that he had seen amber.
I don't know if it was because of Qiao Yuchen's pendant or because of my mother's amber bracelet.
"I've met you."
"Where have we met the young mistress before?" Aunt Wang was clearly excited.
Chen Siyuan laughed, "Is it strange that you've seen it before?" She wasn't stupid; she wasn't trying to get information out of her.
Aunt Wang chuckled again, but her laughter was tinged with bitterness.
"This was a gift from one of my good friends, but sadly she's no longer with us." Aunt Wang said, glancing at Chen Siyuan, "Is the young mistress's maternal grandfather from the Wen family of Beicheng?"
"yes."
Who is your mother?
"Does your aunt know my mother?" Chen Siyuan asked in return.
"We know each other."
"So you're an old friend of my mother's." Chen Siyuan seemed to finally understand Aunt Wang's purpose and smiled slightly. "In a way, Aunt Wang is an elder of mine."
"I wouldn't dare call myself an elder; I can only say that I'm an old friend of Miss Wen."
Chen Siyuan squinted. She was referring to her biological mother, not her nominal mother, Xiangmei.
Looking at Chen Siyuan before her, Aunt Wang was lost in thought. "I was ten years old that year. I met Miss, and it was Miss's charity that gave me the chance to live..." She sighed softly. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Miss wouldn't have left like that, and my sister Xiangmei wouldn't have gone far away."
She knew her mother, Madam Chen, and her biological mother, Wen Jingya.
He was shocked inside, but didn't show it on his face.
The entire General's Mansion was a huge melting pot.
Beneath the seemingly calm surface, the involvement of several forces has already created a turbulent undercurrent.
Even Aunt Wang in front of us is not as simple as she seems.
The first time I saw this person was on the day Qiao Yang caused a scene.
This person stood to the side like a ghost the whole time, making it hard for anyone to notice her presence. After being quiet for so many days, she actually took the initiative to approach him, and it seemed that she was related to both of his mothers.
"When I was young, I learned a few martial arts moves from my father. Later, we got separated. I was lucky enough to meet you, Miss, and stayed by your side for many years. We came to the capital together. At that time, I couldn't compare to the young ladies of wealthy families in the capital, but I thought my face was pretty enough. That time, while I was with you, we met the general who was returning in triumph..."
Chen Siyuan listened to the story quietly.
Chen Siyuan knew exactly how much Qiao Jiajun held in everyone's hearts.
Looking back, it's normal to like men like that at that age.
However, for such a maid to become General Qiao's concubine, she must have had some real ability; otherwise, she would never have succeeded.
“Until that year…” Aunt Wang seemed to recall something unpleasant, and her brows furrowed deeply.
Chen Siyuan tried her best to remain calm, but at this moment she couldn't control the tension in her heart.
This person knows things he doesn't know, and these things are related to his mother.
"That year, with the young lady's help, I finally came to the general's side as I had wished. When I heard that the general was going to war, I disguised myself as a man and joined the army... That war was exceptionally fierce, lasting for a full six months. When I returned after experiencing life and death, I heard..."
Hearing about her mother, Chen Siyuan's heart sank.
Did she know the cause of her mother's death?
This is something I came to the capital to investigate, something I've never kept from others. I don't know if Aunt Wang's visit today is out of genuine interest in telling me, or if she has other motives.
She knew in her heart that no matter what the circumstances, every woman in the backyard was not as simple as she seemed.
Furthermore, this statement reveals too much information.
The reason General Qiao took in Concubine Wang was because of his mother. It's very likely that General Qiao knew his mother, and by following this lead, he could find out the cause of his mother's death much faster.
Another possibility is that someone in the capital has targeted me; could it be the same person who attacked my mother?
She needs to investigate all of this.
Now that Aunt Wang has suddenly arrived with so much information, she needs to think about it.
Caution is of utmost importance.
Another possibility is that Aunt Wang somehow got the information and deliberately leaked it to me, which would mean it was a trap.
"Later, after some events, Miss passed away." Aunt Wang spat it out bitterly, her expression full of pain.
Chen Siyuan nodded, staring at Aunt Wang, and asked, "Why are you saying these things?"
Aunt Wang was taken aback, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. "Doesn't the young mistress feel anything when she hears this?"
“My mother left a long time ago, and I don’t have much of an impression of her, so naturally I don’t know if what you’re saying is true or not.” As Chen Siyuan spoke, her eyes turned sharp, carrying an aura of overwhelming power.
Aunt Wang said, enunciating each word clearly, "Does the young mistress not want to avenge her mother?"
"My mother died of illness. Does Aunt Wang think I should go back to the South City to settle scores with someone?"
“She is not your mother. Your mother is Wen Jingya, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen family.” He said, presenting the bracelet to Chen Siyun with both hands. “You may not believe me, but I think you should recognize this.”
Chen Siyuan glanced at it; she had seen it earlier, but this time it was much more direct. Things seemed to be getting interesting.
Amber is indeed rare. Given Aunt Wang's status, she shouldn't possess something so valuable. If it wasn't originally hers, then the story is different.
“This is amber. Young mistress, you can take a closer look. Once you've made up your mind, you can send someone to find me.” After saying this, Concubine Wang bowed and left.
Chunlan came in from outside, "Young Madam."
Chen Siyuan shook her head, said nothing, and continued with the things she had been working on not long ago.
Chen Siyuan's heart was in turmoil for a long time. She knew that Aunt Wang had done it on purpose and had also intended to explain everything. Some things could only be concluded after she met her grandfather.
