Ignoring the expressions of everyone present, Chen Siyuan approached Wang Li and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Young Miss, this servant is fine." Wang Li said as he stood up, breaking the rope that had been binding him.
With his back covered in blood, he made that movement, and blood gushed out instantly.
Even Aunt Zhao was a little scared when she saw this.
She never expected that the two people beside Chen Siyuan were both experts.
Chen Siyuan glanced at the maid lying on the ground, barely alive, and said, "Chunping, go find a doctor."
"Yes," Chunping replied and left.
Chen Siyuan approached Aunt Zhao and said, "You owe me an explanation for what happened today."
"What did you say?" Aunt Zhao's status was not as high as Chen Siyuan's, but for so many years Aunt Zhao had been a tyrant in the family. Apart from the old lady who was an eyesore, who dared to speak to her like that?
It was Chen Siyuan who seized control of her household management, making her unable to hold her head high in front of her son.
He chopped off one of her men's arms in front of everyone, and now he's trying to do the same to her. He's despicable.
Snap—
Chen Siyuan slapped Aunt Zhao across the face.
Aunt Zhao was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
She couldn't act directly today because she hadn't caught Chen Fan red-handed. Now that Aunt Zhao had come to her, there was no reason for her to hold back.
"Chen Siyuan, you..."
"Chunlan, what do you mean by 'insubordination'?"
"Give him twenty strokes of the cane and expel him from the mansion."
"Yes." Chunlan was about to make a move.
Aunt Zhao was so frightened that she kept backing away. If she was really beaten, how could she maintain her authority in this mansion?
Thinking of this, and seeing Chen Siyuan's bloodshot eyes looking at her, she became afraid.
"Sister, you're so powerful! You actually dared to lay a hand on Mother." Chen Xin, who had just bought a new outfit, was overjoyed. He had just entered the house when he heard about this and rushed over immediately.
Upon seeing the scene before her, she almost lost her footing.
How could that bitch Chen Siyuan humiliate my mother like that?
"Make your move!" Chen Siyuan's voice was extremely cold, her words carrying an icy edge.
If someone goes to great lengths to frame or eliminate her, she doesn't need evidence or reasons; if she wants to act, she will act directly.
Regardless of the consequences, she was determined to deal with each of the troublemakers one by one, and show the maids in the mansion who was truly in charge of the Chen family.
"Are you crazy!" Chen Xin rushed over, shoving Chunlan aside and helping Aunt Zhao to her feet. "You, a mere maid, dare to lay a hand on Mother? You're asking for death!"
Chen Siyuan came up to him, grabbed Chen Xin's hair, and pulled hard.
Chen Xin had never received such humiliation before. He released Aunt Zhao and tried to retaliate.
Her exquisite hair was transformed into a bird's nest in the blink of an eye by Chen Siyuan's hands.
Chen Siyuan seemed satisfied with the current effect. She released Chen Xin's hair, took a step back, lifted her skirt once, and kicked out instantly, sending Chen Xin flying.
Everyone was stunned.
The young lady has repeatedly pushed their limits today, and they are so frightened that they kneel on the ground, not daring to even raise their heads.
I'm worried that I'll be the next one to suffer.
Chunlan felt that she could handle most things herself, so why bother the young lady with dirty work?
"You madwoman, I'm going to kill you!" Aunt Zhao rushed over without regard for anything else.
The scene became chaotic for a moment. Chen Siyuan was about to make another move when she heard footsteps behind her and saw Chunlan's gaze. She took a step back.
They successfully evaded Aunt Zhao.
Unfortunately, Aunt Zhao pushed too hard and fell face-first to the ground.
"Insolence!" The old lady's eyes were icy, and her voice was as cold as frost.
Lin Ma helped the old lady up and glanced at the scene before her. It was more than just a mess.
When the old lady arrived, everyone dared not utter a sound.
I have a feeling that whoever speaks up today will be unlucky.
Aunt Zhao got up and wanted to attack Chen Siyuan again, but she was stunned by the old lady's cold aura and subconsciously dodged. Just then, she saw her son Chen Fan walking behind the old lady.
One look from him made her heart ache.
She was disliked by her own son again.
"What's going on?" The old lady came over, feeling very annoyed by the chaotic scene before her.
His own granddaughter was among them.
Regardless of how this happened, it wouldn't be good if word got back to the Tao family!
Chen Siyuan went directly to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, someone is abusing their power in the Chen family."
"What's going on?" Old Madam Chen was furious. She glanced at everyone present and her gaze fell on Aunt Zhao.
“Some people suspect that the maids and guards in my courtyard have a relationship and plan to beat them both to death to prove the family’s integrity.”
"Nonsense."
"According to the law, anyone who intentionally kills another shall be beheaded; anyone who intentionally kills someone who is not yet dead shall be punished as if he were intentionally causing injury." In her previous life, Chen Siyuan had memorized the law thoroughly to avoid being framed. It came in handy today.
Everyone around was terrified when they saw the old lady get angry.
They knelt on the ground one by one, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
Aunt Zhao realized things were going badly, especially since the old lady had always disliked her, and her son was there too. She tried her best to tell herself that she couldn't lose face.
She knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "Madam, how could the Chen family have enjoyed peace and tranquility all these years without family rules? I have devoted myself to the Chen family all these years, how can I let a mere maid..."
"Does Aunt Zhao admit to intentional homicide?" Chen Siyuan jumped quickly, directly accusing Aunt Zhao of this.
Chen Siyuan is familiar with the law. If she makes a scene, she will insist on reporting it to the authorities. Then Lord Ye will surely see that Aunt Zhao is a ruthless and habitual offender.
I believe she will never have the chance to speak again in this lifetime.
Aunt Zhao was so taken aback by these words that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She crawled towards the old lady, crying loudly, "Old Madam, that's not what I meant. I just felt that as a concubine of the Chen family, with the old lady being old and the eldest young lady being too young, if things escalate, it would be our Chen family that suffers in the end. Now that the eldest young lady has passed the imperial examination, if any bad rumors spread in her courtyard, her future marriage might..."
Chen Siyuan never expected that Aunt Zhao would be so cunning.
She says it's all for her own good, but everyone knows what she's really thinking.
"Aunt Zhao has such a silver tongue. She clearly did something wrong, but she tries to shift the blame onto others. If everyone were like you, wouldn't Lord Ye have nothing to do with this?"
“Miss, I really meant well. Who would have thought that you would misunderstand my good intentions?” Aunt Zhao said, wiping away tears. Seeing her daughter struggling to get up from the ground, she felt even more resentful. “Xin’er was just trying to explain because she saw her mother being misunderstood. Who would have thought that you would be so cruel as to beat Xin’er like this?”
