Chen Siyuan knew clearly that, according to what Aunt Wang had just said, her mother, Xiangmei, had been a maidservant to Wen Jingya, and Aunt Wang was one of them.
If one's mother is kind to the maids around her and gives them expensive gifts, it's understandable. But how did Aunt Wang know about her mother's death and her relationship with Wen Jingya and Xiangmei?
Clearly, the amber bracelet is the key!
Thinking of the amber bracelet reminded me of my mother.
It seems that my mother has lived in Beijing for a long time and knows many people.
What exactly happened back then? Why did her mother die? And why did she later become Xiangmei's daughter?
Furthermore, Aunt Wang and Grandmother's accounts differed somewhat.
Grandmother said that Xiangmei was saved by her mother, and it was because of her mother that she was adopted, recognized the Wen family as her godfather, and made herself the Wen family's adopted daughter.
Aunt Wang's meaning was clearly that her mother had kindly saved the two of them years ago, and they had stayed by her mother's side ever since.
There are significant discrepancies, and she needs to investigate thoroughly.
Chen Siyuan originally wanted some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly, others didn't give her that time.
The next day.
Chen Siyuan had just woken up and was washing up with the help of her maid when she was about to eat.
Chunping watched from the side, wanting to speak several times.
Seeing the calmness on Chen Siyuan's face, she couldn't say anything.
Qiao Yuchen hadn't been back for a long time, and there were too many rumors circulating outside. Seeing Chen Siyuan's calm demeanor, she didn't know whether she should say anything.
"Young Madam, the young master cannot go out for several days because there are some unpleasant rumors circulating outside."
Chen Siyuan, who was about to pick up her chopsticks, paused slightly. At this crucial moment, everyone was busy with their respective positions; who could stay at home and relax?
Chen Siyuan only thought about these words and didn't say them aloud.
Qiao Yuchen is a man destined for great things. Even if the prince he later served fails, he will still be an ambitious man.
"Isn't the young mistress worried?" There are still rumors outside that Qiao Yuchen has been bewitched by a vixen.
Some people also felt that the young mistress had only been in the general's mansion for a short time, and had already fallen out of favor so quickly.
Not long ago, the things Qiao Yuchen did for the young mistress seemed to have become a joke.
You're overthinking it.
"Young Madam, I'm overthinking it. It should be Young Madam..."
"Do you think I don't have feelings for him?" Chen Siyuan said, looking up at him.
Chunlan met her gaze, feeling a little timid, but still lowered her head.
Chen Siyuan smiled.
Even his own maid thought so; Qiao Yuchen was a very successful person.
Thinking about the final outcome, she wasn't very happy.
No matter how capable someone is, if they still choose the wrong person, even if they succeed, they will still be defeated by the Third Prince in the end.
She wondered, what would the situation be like if Qiao Yuchen were assisting the Third Prince?
Now that the Fourth Prince has suffered a setback, he is preparing to turn things around by using the Black Dragon incident. The Third Prince and his advisors will also take this opportunity to do something, and it is possible that the Black Dragon will ultimately fall on the Third Prince's head.
hehe--
The royal family goes to great lengths to maintain their superior position while causing their brothers to suffer one by one.
This is brotherhood.
Perhaps, this is what royalty is all about.
After the meal, Chen Siyuan obediently stayed in the yard and showed no intention of going out.
Just when they thought the silence would continue as usual, or that someone would come to make their presence known.
They underestimated the situation.
At crucial moments, with so many people watching, it's not so easy to find peace and quiet.
As noon approached, Chunlan and Chunping began to get busy.
Qiao Yuchen paid for everything in Dongyuan out of his own pocket; everything he ate and used there was the best.
Chen Siyuan didn't have much of an appetite at noon today. Despite the abundance of delicacies laid out in front of her, she couldn't eat them.
I drank a small half bowl of millet porridge, but I just couldn't eat any more.
For some reason, her heart was pounding, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Young Madam, the food is not to your liking. I'll have the kitchen redo it," Chunlan said.
Chen Siyuan shook her head, "No, it seems..." Just as she was about to say that something bad had happened, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Chen Siyuan gestured with her eyes for Chunping to go out and take a look. Soon, Chunping returned and whispered something in Chen Siyuan's ear.
"Aunt Wang is dead?" Chen Siyuan was shocked.
"That's what people outside are saying." Chunping also found the matter strange.
"What does this have to do with the young mistress?" Chunlan could no longer remain calm.
Chen Siyuan sneered. Aunt Wang was dead, and the commotion was so great; it was clear she was planning to make a move against her.
Unfortunately, before they could get any useful information from Aunt Wang, she died.
If I had known this would happen, I should have agreed to her request that day and taken the opportunity to ask her something.
Why--
It's too late to think about anything now.
Do not act rashly when you are unsure of the other party's true intentions.
Moreover, Aunt Wang's death might have been because she revealed a secret she shouldn't have, or perhaps she was murdered to silence her after her plan failed.
Chen Siyuan tried to calm herself down, changed her clothes, and walked outside with two maids.
This is the East Garden. Even if someone wanted to do something to me, they wouldn't have the authority here.
The person ordered to come to the East Garden to "invite" him just stood at the door, without even a chance to come in.
"This servant greets the young mistress."
"This servant greets the young mistress."
The two old women who came over to "invite" Chen Siyuan bowed to her.
A woman from a small town has caused such a commotion. What good is it if Qiao Yuchen dotes on her?
He ended up as a prisoner.
"What is it?" Chen Siyuan asked coldly, seemingly ignoring Chunping's words from not long ago.
Her haughty demeanor perfectly reflected her status as a young mistress.
"Young mistress, you should come with us!" the older woman said with a forced smile.
Chen Siyuan frowned. "Which courtyard's old woman are you, daring to give orders in my East Garden? Who gave you the guts, huh!"
Finally, the tone was lowered, and the atmosphere around them changed instantly.
The two old women who had been standing upright at the door suddenly knelt down with a thud.
The one who had spoken earlier glanced at the coward beside him and spoke again to Chen Siyuan.
"Aunt Wang has passed away."
"What does it matter to me where Aunt Wang goes?" Chen Siyuan said coldly.
"Madam requests that the young mistress come over."
"Go there?" Chen Siyuan laughed. "If the person is really dead, the first thing to do is report it to the authorities. I'm not an official, how can I seek justice for Aunt Wang?"
After saying this, Chen Siyuan clearly saw the exchange of glances between the two old women.
It seems there's definitely a story behind Aunt Wang's death.
