Chunping rushed back from outside in a flurry of activity.
Seeing Chunping's condition, Chen Siyuan kindly offered her a handkerchief.
"Clean it up first. There's no need to rush."
Chunping took out the handkerchief that Chen Siyuan had given her not long ago to have someone check, and carefully presented it to Chen Siyuan.
"Madam, I had the doctor examine your handkerchief; he said it contains invigorating spices."
"To boost energy?"
"Um."
Chen Siyuan held the handkerchief in her hands. She first realized that it was a gift from Madam Qiao. Did Madam Qiao know something about it?
Perhaps she should personally visit Mrs. Qiao as a way of thanking her for the handkerchief.
When Su Wen brought his men that day, Madam Qiao also acknowledged her status as the young mistress.
With this identity and with Qiao Yuchen preceding him, this should be a kind of invisible guarantee.
Furthermore, the relationship between General Qiao and Qiao Yuchen is not as tense as it seems on the surface. How should we explain General Qiao's actions that day?
Is it because she feels unworthy of Qiao Yuchen and takes the opportunity to use others to trip her up, or is there some other reason?
After the young mistress remained silent for a while, Chunping spoke again.
"Young Madam, I finally understand why you were granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady!"
Chen Siyuan smiled, knowing that she wouldn't let this matter go, and she also wanted to hear what good news she could bring back.
"Young Madam, the imperial court knows about the flood in the southern city. They know that you helped the disaster victims through the crisis, and they also know that you were sending rice to help everyone."
Chen Siyuan was somewhat surprised. There was nothing strange about this matter; why was it suddenly exposed after such a long time?
"Prefect Ye Jianyuan of Nancheng has been promoted and is now in the capital. It was he who submitted a memorial to the court."
Chen Siyuan could understand it.
She had intentionally let Ye Jianyuan go by not harming him, and he was grateful and understanding. However, the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady was not so easily obtained.
Chunping took out another letter and handed it to Chen Siyuan, saying, "Young Madam, this is what Master Wen asked me to give you."
Chen Siyuan quickly unfolded the letter.
Upon seeing the familiar handwriting and reading the contents, she burst into tears of joy.
It turns out that my maternal grandfather had helped me obtain the title of Lady of Imperial Decree.
In his letter, my grandfather mentioned that Qiao Yuchen also deserved credit.
hehe--
So that's why my older cousin said those things.
Her grandfather never saw her, but he was working on things for her in his own way.
Once you have the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, anyone who wants to harm you will have to think twice about their status.
......
noon.
Just before dinner, Qiao Yuchen returned from outside carrying two wine jars. Seeing Qiao Yuchen busy in the small kitchen, he didn't go in but stood at the kitchen door, quietly watching the busy little figure.
The servants and maids around them all knelt on the ground.
Qiao Yuchen ignored her completely. After Chen Siyuan finished her work, he went into the kitchen and helped bring out the prepared dishes.
After sitting down at the dining table, Qiao Yuchen looked at the woman with a pained expression, "From now on, let them cook whatever you want to eat. If they don't cook well, we'll change chefs."
"It's alright, I just wanted to get some exercise, and you've come at the perfect time. How's the taste?"
In her previous life, Chen Siyuan was busy trying to infiltrate the circle of wealthy ladies in the capital and manage all the big and small affairs of the household. She also diligently learned how to cook and her dishes were very delicious.
I've never had the chance to hear about all the things this man has done for me from my grandfather today. It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
I originally thought Qiao Yuchen had everything he needed, so I just cooked him a meal once. I never expected him to say something like that.
At that moment, she finally understood what it felt like to be held in someone's heart.
Qiao Yuchen took a bite and praised it repeatedly.
While eating, they kept saying how delicious it was, and later, to liven things up, they started drinking.
After a few drinks, Chen Siyuan's heart began to flutter.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she compared him to Minister Song in every way.
It seems that drinking made her lower her guard, and the feeling of being cared for made her forget her past pain.
She felt that perhaps her grandfather was right.
This man who did so much for me behind my back, but never showed it to me in front of me, is truly a good man.
Their relationship may not be limited to just cooperation.
As the effects of the alcohol took hold, Chen Siyuan, drunk and about to pass out, pointed at Qiao Yuchen and said with a smile, "Qiao Yuchen, you're really handsome!"
"Beautiful?" Qiao Yuchen wasn't drunk, but looking at the woman who seemed a little tipsy, he suddenly felt that she was even more beautiful today.
When Chunlan and Chunping saw this scene, they thought Qiao Yuchen was angry, and they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.
Wang Yong and Ren Lu, who were standing at the door, both looked puzzled.
Why does it feel like my master is being teased?
Why does it seem like my master is quite happy about this?
Thinking about this makes my heart twist with unease. What on earth is going on?!
"Hmm, even prettier than a woman."
"real?"
"real."
Wang Yong and Ren Lu were speechless.
Unable to bear the sight, I simply ran away.
Chunlan and Chunping felt that wasn't the case.
It seems that Qiao Yuchen is not angry.
Later, when they saw Qiao Yuchen carrying the drunk young mistress into the inner room, they didn't react.
Even when tidying up the table, he was very careful, and after finishing, he immediately ran away.
Qiao Yuchen originally only wanted to carry the woman inside so she could get a good night's sleep.
But the moment he let go of the woman, he didn't think that way anymore.
The woman in front of him was his wife, the woman he had married, Qiao Yuchen's woman. Why should he leave?
As he looked at her, he realized he had never imagined the woman before him could be so beautiful.
Unlike the young ladies from wealthy families in the capital, who are exquisitely beautiful but lack any vitality.
This woman is lively and energetic. Sometimes she's like a hedgehog with its quills raised, and other times she's like a soft little bun, making you want to take a bite.
As he watched, he couldn't control himself and gradually closed the distance between them.
He lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips.
It was very soft, just like the last two times, making him unable to resist wanting more.
At this moment, it was as if his heart had been captured by a little wildcat in front of him, which kept scratching at his heart, making him feel waves of desire.
Craving more.
He wanted to deepen the kiss, so engrossed that he didn't want to let go.
Just then, he suddenly felt the woman open her eyes. He subconsciously looked over and met her gaze. He felt a little guilty and instinctively wanted to run away. He didn't want to scare the woman away because of his recklessness, since their relationship had just eased.
Unexpectedly, this action was just taken.
The woman suddenly hooked her arm around his neck.
