When Chen Siyuan arrived at the door, she saw Qiao Yuchen having dinner with his grandmother, and her worries were relieved.
I thought Qiao Yuchen had done something wrong, but it turns out he was just eating.
Qiao Yuchen's heart sank when he saw Chen Siyuan's changing expression.
What, you think he's doing something bad to some people, that's why you're running away in such a hurry?
He has given so much, but this woman didn't see it. Doesn't she feel it at all?
We clearly agreed to start, so what is this all about?
She was so apprehensive because she had only come to see Madam Chen without prior notice.
It wasn't that he was confident; if he really wanted to kill someone, there was no reason why he wouldn't succeed.
Even if Madam Chen is no ordinary lady, it would be a matter of blinking an eye to deal with someone like her.
He was hurt by his distrust of Chen Siyuan, but he didn't show it on his face.
He put down his chopsticks, looked at Old Madam Chen, and said as if to take credit, "Look, Yuan'er is here."
Madam Chen looked at her granddaughter and took her arm.
"Come on, come sit down."
Chen Siyuan politely approached Madam Chen, addressed her as "Grandmother," and sat down between the two women.
She glanced at the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, then looked at Qiao Yuchen, and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"Just got back, came to check on things."
"Take a look?" Shouldn't we go back to the general's mansion first?
The capital city may seem peaceful lately, but a lot has happened. She doesn't think that he, who is assisting the Seventh Prince, will have any free time.
Many things have changed, and Chen Siyuan feels uncertain.
It is now the thirteenth year of the Dezheng era. Originally, the Empress was supposed to die in the seventeenth year of the Dezheng era, a few days before the old Emperor died. This event was brought forward by a full four years.
During these four years, the old emperor's health was poor, and he was bedridden for several years. Because of this, several princes fought openly and secretly for many years, and in the end, the third prince won.
"Eat more." Qiao Yuchen offered to serve the woman some food.
He knew the woman was lost in thought when she would occasionally space out.
I've wanted to tell this woman so many times that she doesn't have to go through all this trouble, but there are some things that are inconvenient to say when the relationship isn't stable yet.
Watching their interaction, Old Madam Chen, being an experienced woman, knew that Qiao Yuchen had feelings for her granddaughter, and that her granddaughter seemed to be gradually accepting this man.
This is a good thing.
The meal was quite awkward.
Qiao Yuchen kept putting food on Chen Siyuan's plate. Chen Siyuan had already eaten, but she kept eating so that her grandmother wouldn't notice anything.
As a result, they ate too much and their stomachs were so full that they felt uncomfortable. Qiao Yuchen seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and offered to take the woman out on horseback to digest their food.
When Madam Chen saw the two of them leave like that, she couldn't have been happier.
Lin Ma stood beside Old Madam Chen, "Old Madam, the young master is still drinking." Chen Siyuan was relieved, but Chen Luyang was a cause for concern.
"It's alright, let him handle it himself." She doesn't get involved in her grandson's affairs unless it's absolutely necessary.
Besides, Wang Yuyan brought this upon herself.
She dared to scheme against her own grandson, who was pregnant, and bring her along. If this had happened in any other family, she would have been dead long ago.
Seeing Madam Chen's attitude, Lin Ma couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Luyang, "Madam, you're being too biased."
"How am I biased?" Old Madam Chen said, turning and going into the house.
Lin Ma followed her in and served tea to Old Madam Chen. Only after she finished her cup of tea did Lin Ma speak.
"When Miss is in trouble, the Old Madam is more anxious than anyone else. Why is it that when it comes to Young Master, you..."
Madam Chen laughed and looked at Lin Ma, who had been with her for many years, "You, after serving me for so many years, how come you're still so stupid?"
"This servant did not know." Lin Ma did not think she had done anything wrong.
It's because Madam Chen is too biased.
Logically speaking, Chen Luyang's matter should have been resolved long ago if the old lady had intervened. Why has it dragged on until now?
As Wang Yuyan's belly grew bigger, some things could not be kept secret any longer. Besides, this was the capital, and if word got out, it would not be good for the Chen family's reputation.
It will also damage Chen Siyuan's reputation.
She just couldn't understand how the usually insightful old lady could be so confused about this matter.
"This is the capital city. If you don't know what you're doing, don't speak. You might lose your head without even realizing it."
"Madam, I was referring to the young master's affairs."
"Young Master?" Old Madam Chen laughed. "Do you think the matter of the young master you're talking about is a private matter of the Chen family? Or do you really think that a timid little girl from the Wang family would dare to scheme against my Chen family's legitimate grandson?"
Lin's mother was stunned when she heard this.
What's going on?
Why did she not understand some of what she was saying?
Madam Chen sighed deeply, and the teacup beside her was swept to the ground.
Lin's mother instinctively wanted to clean it up, but was stopped by Madam Chen.
"Go ahead. Wang Yuyan only brought one maid with her. Send a few clever maids over."
"What does the old lady mean?" Lin Ma had been by the old lady's side for many years and knew that she was bold because she knew her mistress was angry.
"If you can't even do this simple thing right, you don't need to stay by my side."
Lin's mother got scared and stopped trying to laugh it off; she quickly left.
Old Madam Chen looked down at the broken teacup on the ground.
Wang Yuyan's courage suddenly surged a few days after Chen Siyuan arrived in the capital. At that time, Chen Siyuan was already the young mistress of the general's mansion. Also, during that period, the Wang family committed a serious crime and were all arrested, facing certain death. Suddenly, the Wang family was released without charge, which was too direct.
