"It's alright, it's all over now," Wen Kai comforted her.
"What happened to Grandpa?" Chen Siyuan finally found her voice after a long time.
She had always thought that as long as she obeyed, her grandfather would be fine. But seeing this scene and the actions of Butler Wang and others made her realize that things were not so simple.
I had a vague feeling that my grandfather's illness was related to my mother's situation.
"Grandfather is ill." Wen Kai didn't want to say more. If Chen Siyuan hadn't seen them, they wouldn't have told her.
"When did you get sick?" Chen Siyuan asked. Seeing Wen Kai's hesitation, she added, "If you still consider me your cousin, please tell me. Don't lie to me."
Wen Kai looked into the distance and let out a long sigh!
Chen Siyuan did not urge them. Her grandfather's illness was a significant matter for the Wen family, and something they still could not accept.
If she hadn't met him today, she wouldn't have known that her grandfather, who always seemed to be doing well, was actually sick.
"After your mother disappeared."
"Grandpa just said that Mother... didn't have an end, what did that mean?" Sure enough, Grandpa's situation was related to Mother.
They loved each other too deeply; even after all these years, they still refused to accept it.
"After so many years of investigation, for some unknown reason, your mother suddenly wanted to leave the capital in the middle of the night."
"Sudden?"
"They must have encountered some kind of danger."
"What else did you find out?" Chen Siyuan asked somewhat urgently.
It's undeniable that this mother, whom I've never met, loves me very much; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken me away in the middle of the night.
"We haven't found out exactly what happened, but we heard later that your mother died. After you were taken away, she... she just disappeared."
"Disappeared? How is that possible?"
Is this what Grandpa meant by "there is no future"?
“We don’t know exactly what happened. We’ve been investigating for years. Some people think your mother isn’t human.”
"You're not human!" Chen Siyuan shouted without thinking.
"Don't be angry, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Siyuan asked angrily, as if she wanted to rush over and kill Wen Kai.
Wen Kai was startled by her gaze and simply said, "You know, all the beauties in the capital withered overnight, and then it was because of you..."
Wen Kai couldn't continue.
At this moment, I was afraid to face it.
He really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only use this incident to cover it up.
Chen Siyuan didn't think that way.
The sudden downfall of Hua'er was orchestrated by Qiao Yuchen, and its subsequent recovery was likely also related to him. According to this account, someone took away the mother, and it's possible that the mother didn't die.
If that's really the case, why hasn't my mother visited my grandfather all these years?
Why is that?
With this question in mind, Chen Siyuan returned to the North Garden of the General's Mansion, feeling utterly dejected.
Chunlan and Chunping, the two maids, fell silent.
There are some things they don't understand, but they can understand why the young mistress is like this, even with Wen Tonghai's symptoms.
After causing such a scene at the Tao family's house, Qiao Yuchen returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as he entered, he was invited over by Steward Yu.
He stayed in General Qiao's study for a long time, and only left when it got dark.
After leaving, Qiao Yuchen went straight out of the General's Mansion and didn't return until midnight.
When I returned, I assumed the woman was already asleep.
Seeing that the lights were still on inside, he quickly went inside.
He thought the woman was waiting for him, but when he entered, he immediately saw her with red, swollen eyes from crying.
"What happened?" Who bullied his woman? Why didn't anyone report it?
Filled with boundless rage, he cautiously approached and gently embraced the woman. "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll avenge you."
"You did the flower thing, didn't you?" Chen Siyuan couldn't wait to prove her mother's innocence.
Qiao Yuchen glanced at them, and Chunlan and Chunping lowered their heads and left.
They were also very worried about the young mistress, but fortunately Qiao Yuchen returned, so the young mistress should recover soon.
They came to the door and didn't leave, quietly listening to the sounds inside.
What happened today was exciting enough that they are still unable to calm down.
I vaguely know that Chen Siyuan and Wen Tonghai's situations are both related to Wen Jingya's matter!
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuchen asked, worried when he saw that Chen Siyuan was clearly not in a good state.
Did something happen to her after they broke up?
"Grandpa is sick, very sick." Thinking of her grandfather, Chen Siyuan started to cry.
After her rebirth, she always armed herself, telling herself what she should and shouldn't do. She was rational in many things, and even when she was in a passive position, she would quickly regain her composure.
Thinking of her grandfather, she finally understood why, after all these years, there had been no final answer regarding her mother.
My grandfather still can't accept it; he always gets hurt whenever he touches it.
This is a form of indirect protection for them.
As she looked and thought, she felt a complex mix of emotions.
What kind of state of being must one reach to become like this?
She believed she had experienced things from her past life, and she seemed much more insightful than others. She did not understand the pain in her grandfather's heart.
"It's alright, find the best doctor, and if all else fails, find the imperial physician. He'll definitely be cured." So that's what it was about. Qiao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew in his heart that although Wen Tonghai looked handsome, given his age and the many things that had happened to the Wen family in recent years, Wen Tonghai's health was already at its limit and he wouldn't last many more years.
Unexpectedly, the woman still found out.
He knew she cared a lot about her family, and he understood why, but he was also slightly jealous.
When will I be able to hold such a place in a woman's heart?
"Grandpa's illness is a matter of the heart." A heart ailment requires a heart remedy. Chen Siyuan thought to herself that she must find out as soon as possible what exactly happened to her mother back then, only in this way can her grandfather's illness be cured.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan felt a faint hope in her heart that her mother was still alive.
Even knowing the chances were slim, she still held onto that hope.
Qiao Yuchen stayed by her side the whole time. Chen Siyuan talked on and on until she finally drifted off to sleep.
