"Not pretending anymore?" Qiao Yuchen asked.
Wang Yong glanced at Qiao Yang instantly. Was his crazy behavior just an act?
He couldn't believe he had been deceived.
Qiao Yang was seen through, but it didn't bother her. She had come this far, and now that she had tried to kill Chen Siyuan but was caught by this person, she was doomed.
I thought I could play the fool, but I was found out.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qiao Yang asked angrily.
She had a bright future ahead of her, a start towards a higher status, but the appearance of this person ruined everything.
Qiao Yuchen stroked his chin and stared at Qiao Yang. "Actually, you're very good-looking. I was just thinking that it would be good if you continued to go crazy. I was originally planning to prepare a few people for you."
As soon as he heard those words, Qiao Yang instantly understood what they meant.
Her face was pale as she stared at Qiao Yuchen, as if she had seen something terrifying.
Qiao Yuchen simply watched, seemingly satisfied with the expression on her face.
As Wang Yong walked to the side and patted the wall a few times, the wall slowly moved, and suddenly, several beggars came from the other side of the wall.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Yang's face drained of color. He looked at Qiao Yuchen and said, "Qiao Yuchen, you can't do this to me." As he spoke, he struggled violently.
It seemed that as long as she broke free from the wooden stake in front of her, she would regain her freedom.
Unfortunately, her wrists and ankles were scraped raw during the violent struggle, and blood flowed down her face. She couldn't break free at all. Not only that, the beggars, who seemed to have been starving for too long, finally smelled the aroma of meat and came towards Qiao Yang one by one.
Their walking posture was somewhat strange. Qiao Yang had seen many important things, but faced with these things that looked like humans but were not quite human, she was unsure what these beggars were all about.
Just then, a beggar came up to her and tore open the sleeve on her arm. As the sleeve was torn, the man actually opened his mouth and bit down.
"Ah—" Qiao Yang screamed in agony.
She felt the kind of pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, like someone had bitten off a piece of her flesh.
Qiao Yuchen and Wang Yong stood calmly to the side, seemingly already used to the situation. However, they were slightly disappointed when they saw Qiao Yang's expression.
She seemed like a tough woman, but at this point, she's no different from any other ordinary woman.
This is just the beginning.
The man, who looked like a beggar but wasn't, pounced on Qiao Yang. As if they hadn't eaten for many days, he kept tearing pieces of flesh from Qiao Yang's body.
The scene was spectacular.
Qiao Yuchen and Wang Yong watched everything calmly, as if they were already used to such scenes.
......
A few days later.
During her few days in Dongyuan, Chen Siyuan was able to get the latest news about the outside world as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, five days after the Empress's death, the old Emperor was still alive and well.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Siyuan remained motionless for a long time.
The empress is gone, but the old emperor is still alive; this is different from the situation in the previous life.
She felt very conflicted, and at the same time, she had a tragic realization: it seemed that in this second life, many things were different from before.
Chen Siyuan doesn't know if this is a good thing or not.
According to my memories from my previous life, the old emperor died at this time, and the entire capital was filled with the smell of blood as the princes fought for the throne.
Everything is quiet now, as if nothing is wrong.
Just then, I heard that my grandmother, father, and elder brother had arrived in the capital.
She immediately took Chunlan, Chunping, and Wang Li to meet them.
By this time, Chen Siyuan had already arranged a home for them in the capital.
The Chen family.
The Chen family lived far from the prestigious areas of the capital, in an ordinary commercial district.
Given Chen Siyuan's current status, finding a home near the General's Mansion would be an easy matter. Chen Siyuan felt that since her father was a businessman, living in this area would allow him to better integrate into the community.
As for the areas where high-ranking officials reside, it's best not to get too involved.
Initially, it was because I didn't want to attract their attention, but now that the old emperor is still alive, the matter is not over.
The struggle for the throne will never end. Even if there is a result, there will be other things to deal with, and it will be really difficult to extricate oneself from the situation.
She hoped her family could begin their life together in a quiet and peaceful environment.
My grandmother is getting old and doesn't want to be disturbed by too many people.
Thinking about it, Chen Siyuan felt that her grandmother's biggest wish now was to have a grandson.
Thinking about this, she figured she should take advantage of her elder brother's visit to the capital to find him a wife.
Chen Siyuan had many plans for the Chen family.
Regardless of whether she is a child of the Chen family or not, she now considers herself a member of the Chen family.
She's willing to do anything for her family's sake.
Wang Li drove the carriage to the Chen family's gate. Upon hearing that his grandmother had not yet arrived, she immediately instructed Wang Li to drive the carriage out of the city to wait for her.
After waiting for a while without seeing any sign of them, she asked Wang Li to keep going, hoping to see her grandmother, father, and elder brother soon.
I haven't seen them in a long time and I wonder if they've changed recently.
After driving for quite some time, we finally saw several horse-drawn carriages coming from afar.
Wang Li slowly stopped the carriage and said to it, "Young Madam, the Old Madam's carriage is just ahead."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan immediately jumped off the carriage. Seeing the familiar carriage in the distance, she stood there jumping for joy.
Chen Luyang, who was riding ahead with a long face, saw the familiar figure, turned his head and said something to the carriage, and then quickly spurred his horse to rush over.
