The Wen family.
Chen Siyuan had been at her maternal grandfather's house for a long time, but her mind was still racing.
The thought of being teased by Qiao Yuchen made her run away.
The redness on her face hasn't subsided yet.
Wen Tonghai watched from the side, feeling happy as well.
His granddaughter finally fell for him.
Qiao Yuchen is an unreliable guy, but he's genuinely good to his granddaughter.
As long as she's protected like this, and with the title of First-Rank Lady, who would dare to do anything to her granddaughter?
Wen Tonghai was happy about this. He had nothing to do lately, so it was nice to play with his granddaughter.
"Yuan'er, how are the preparations for your shops going?"
"fine."
"You must have a lot of fabric at your place lately, right?"
"fine."
"Your grandmother has also come to the capital. When can we have a meal together?"
"fine."
"Yuan'er, how are things going with that boy lately?"
"fine."
Upon hearing the young mistress's reply, Chunlan and Chunping could no longer lower their heads.
Is the young lady possessed?
Clearly, what they said was inappropriate, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only stand awkwardly to the side.
"I heard someone is pregnant?"
"..." Chen Siyuan suddenly woke up and looked at her grandfather. "Grandpa, what did you say?"
"Pregnant?" Wen Tonghai said very seriously, "This is a good thing, pregnancy means good fortune, we should have a big celebration."
“No.” Chen Siyuan’s mind immediately started working. Wang Yuyan’s condition was clearly not right, and her grandmother would definitely not be willing to hold a grand celebration at this time.
"Why not? He's my great-grandson, after all. This is a good thing."
Chen Siyuan was stunned. After realizing what was happening, she lowered her head and said, "Grandpa, you did this on purpose."
"So you do know that? He's just a kid. Why are you so distraught? Let me tell you, no matter how good that person is, you can't give him your all. What if he changes his mind? What will you do then?"
These words were like a blow to Chen Siyuan's head, ripping open memories that had been buried deep in her heart.
Similar scenarios had occurred many times in her past life, each time ending in a bitter argument. Later, she... Thinking back, she felt quite frightened.
If I had been more extravagant in my past life, the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened, and at least I wouldn't have been so easily sent to the guillotine.
Having lived a second life, Chen Siyuan knew that every word of these words was a classic, derived from her grandfather's many years of experience.
No matter what, you should never let a man control your mind, and you should never lose the ability to live without a man.
Now, Chen Siyuan knew what to do. Meeting her grandfather's gaze, Chen Siyuan spoke with conviction.
"Grandpa, I know."
Such obedience surprised Weng Tonghai for a moment, but he quickly smiled again.
This is his good grandson.
"Don't just know, keep it in your heart at all times."
"Um."
When Wen Tonghai saw that his granddaughter had recovered, he glanced at Steward Wang beside him, and Steward Wang immediately left with his two maids, Chunlan and Chunping.
With no outsiders around, Wen Tonghai's expression turned serious.
"What are your thoughts on Aunt Wang's death?" Having spent some time in the capital and been exposed to many things, Wen Tonghai wanted to remind him that many things are not as simple as they seem.
Today, he also found a suitable candidate and thought of giving it to his granddaughter.
Chen Siyuan looked at her grandfather and didn't hide anything. "Grandpa, actually Aunt Wang came to see me the day before she died. She deliberately showed off her amber bracelet."
"An amber bracelet?" Upon hearing this, Wen Tonghai's teacup shattered.
Chen Siyuan stared at her grandfather in surprise.
It's normal for my maternal grandfather to know about my mother's things, so why did he get so agitated?
After a long while, Wen Tonghai calmed down a bit and looked at Chen Siyuan, "You've already seen your mother's amber bracelet, haven't you?"
"yes."
Chen Siyuan carefully revealed her wrist from her sleeve, where a silver bracelet was prominently displayed.
This bracelet looks big and clumsy, but fortunately, it has a hollow design, so you won't notice that it's an amber bracelet unless you look closely.
“You…” Wen Tonghai looked at her and smiled. This child was indeed smarter than her mother.
Chen Siyuan smiled. What she didn't say was that this was something she had secretly created, and Chunlan and Chunping didn't know about it. If her grandfather hadn't suddenly brought it up today, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have planned to say anything.
"Grandpa, can you tell me about this amber bracelet?"
Wen Tonghai remained silent for a long time. He took another teacup and kept drinking tea until the teapot was empty and no more tea could be poured out. Only then did he stop.
“Your mother has amber bracelets, amber necklaces, amber pendants, and amber earrings.”
"It was a gift from my maternal grandfather."
“No,” Wen Tonghai said, shaking his head. “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have known that such a wonderful thing existed in the world.”
Chen Siyuan didn't speak. Looking at her grandfather, who was clearly in a heavy mood, she knew that her mother's death had been a great blow to him, and that he had come to the capital because of her mother's situation.
No matter how many years have passed, no one will easily give up on many things as long as there is no result.
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, wondering who had given it to her mother.
Why did we see the amber pendant in Qiao Yuchen's hands first, and then Wang Yiniang's amber bracelet? And now where are the amber earrings?
Who gave it to my mother? Why were they separated? What exactly happened?
Just as Chen Siyuan was lost in thought, her grandfather's words almost made her heart stop.
"These four items should have been in your mother's possession when she left."
Chen Siyuan froze, unable to move, and it took her a long time to find her voice again.
Is this true?
"I've been searching for so many years, and this is the only thing I found."
"And what happened to the mother in the end..."
Wen Tonghai seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, "There is no end."
"Why?" Chen Siyuan asked nervously, gripping her grandfather's hand tightly.
"Haha..." Wen Tonghai seemed to be thinking about something terrible, and he burst into laughter.
Grandpa—
Grandpa—
Chen Siyuan called out repeatedly, but her grandfather did not regain consciousness.
Hearing the commotion, Butler Wang rushed in and, upon seeing the scene, immediately realized something was wrong.
Fortunately, Wen Kai arrived and knocked Wen Tonghai unconscious with a single blow.
After settling in, Shi Dahai took Wen Tonghai's pulse and prescribed medicine, and then Steward Wang got busy again.
Chen Siyuan stood in the corner, completely stunned, silently watching everything unfold before her.
She didn't know what was going on, she just knew that her perfectly healthy grandfather had suddenly become like this.
Wen Kai was certain that his grandfather was asleep and would be fine when he woke up again, so he took Chen Siyuan to the garden.
"Don't be afraid, Grandfather will be fine when he wakes up tomorrow."
Chen Siyuan blinked a few times, somewhat incredulous.
How could my grandfather, who was perfectly fine, have become like this?
