"You better explain yourselves!" Chen Luyang snapped.
He was the one involved, but he didn't know that everyone around him seemed to think he was dead.
Even if he was about to die, he wanted to die knowing the truth.
"A love curse... The young master has been poisoned by a love curse. If he cannot be with the person who cast the curse on him, I'm afraid..."
You mean to say...
"The person who gave the eldest young master that bowl of porridge is the one who poisoned him."
"Hahahaha—" Chen Luyang burst into laughter like a madman.
At first, the people around him thought that Chen Luyang couldn't accept reality and had driven himself crazy. Later, seeing Chen Luyang's smile, they realized that it wasn't what they thought.
Chen Siyuan felt like she wanted to die; seeing her older brother like this, she couldn't remain calm.
Old Mrs. Chen looked at her grandson with a strange expression.
He is the root of the Chen family; he absolutely cannot be harmed.
As the only outsider, Shi Dahai seemed to have little burden on his mind and spoke much more easily, "Young Master, what's going on?"
"I know, I know everything." Chen Luyang finally stopped smiling, looked at his sister, and then at his grandmother. "Grandmother, I have a woman I like."
"Who?" Old Madam Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"She's the one who used the spell on me." Chen Luyang never expected that she would have such thoughts about him.
If he couldn't marry her, what was the point of his life?
He had planned to live his whole life like a wooden doll, never experiencing any emotions again. But upon hearing this, Chen Luyang relented.
Chen Siyuan belatedly realized that his blockhead-like older brother had found a woman he liked.
This was originally a good thing, but when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing behind a big tree, her eyes immediately dimmed.
If the elder brother is with that woman, Wang Yuyan will definitely not have a chance. What will happen to Wang Yuyan and the child in her womb?
It seems that as soon as one problem is solved, another one arises.
Why--
Chen Siyuan tried to ignore the injured figure until Wang Yuyan left with the help of her maid. Then she went to Shi Dahai and asked him some questions about the love potion.
Fortunately, it's just the beginning, and they still have enough time to prepare.
This gives them some buffer time.
Chen Luyang, on the other hand, was in a state of agitation.
Chen Siyuan didn't want to say anything about this. She had the housekeeper send Shi Dahai away, then went to her grandmother and knelt down with a thud. "Grandmother, it's all my fault!"
Old Mrs. Chen helped her granddaughter up, saying, "Silly child, look at him." He's just a fool. He was drugged with something like that, yet he's still overjoyed.
His life is in someone else's hands, doesn't he know how serious this matter is?
"Big brother, he..."
"Perhaps this is fate." Her grandson had never paid attention to any woman other than her granddaughter, which once made her think that her grandson had such feelings for her granddaughter, which was why he showed such aversion when Wang Yuyan happened.
Now it seems that things may not be as bad as she thought.
Chen Siyuan and Old Madam Chen walked into the house together, while Chen Luyang was still in the yard, overjoyed.
Little did they know that the moment they entered the room, Chen Luyang's smile was noticeably less genuine than before.
Butler Cheng had just brought Shi Dahai back when he saw the eldest young master's face change drastically, and his heart skipped a beat.
He sighed inwardly. Was the Chen family destined for many misfortunes?
When Chen Siyuan left the Chen family, it was already dark outside.
Chunlan and Chunping stayed by her side the whole time. They didn't know what the love potion was, but judging from the young mistress's expression, it probably wasn't a good thing.
Along the way, the two women wanted to say nice things to cheer up the young mistress, but they didn't know what to say.
They rode quietly in the carriage towards the general's mansion.
Wang Li, driving the carriage, was also very worried.
I deliberately took a detour past Su Ji Pastry Shop.
As the carriage passed through the gate, a gust of wind lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Chen Siyuan accidentally saw the words "Su Ji Pastry".
She immediately said to Wang Li, "Stop the car."
"yes."
Wang Li brought the carriage to a smooth stop and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the young mistress still knows how to eat, it means that it's not a major crisis.
Speaking of the sky falling down, the current imperial palace is truly on the verge of collapse.
Chunlan and Chunping helped Chen Siyuan down from the carriage and headed straight for Su's Pastry Shop.
Upon entering, she saw a wide variety of pastries. Chen Siyuan was initially in a bad mood, but seeing so much delicious food, she tried to convince herself that she had to pull her older brother back from the brink of death for the sake of these treats.
Now she knows the location of that place, and as long as she finds that person within the stipulated time, she will surely be able to return her older brother safe and sound.
Thinking of all this, Chen Siyuan said to the waiter, "This, this, this, and this, give me three servings of each, no, four servings!"
The waiter was overjoyed to see such a generous customer and immediately got to work.
After being packaged, it was politely placed onto the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion, Chen Siyuan had two maids carry two portions, and placed the remaining two portions on the carriage, which Wang Li then delivered to the Che and Wen families.
She could have easily delivered the pastries directly to her grandmother and grandfather, but she felt it was better to do it herself to avoid any unforeseen circumstances on the way.
After entering the General's Mansion, Chen Siyuan asked Chunlan to send one portion back to Beiyuan first, while she and Chunping delivered the other portion to Madam Qiao.
Speaking of which, she hadn't properly thanked Mrs. Qiao for giving her the handkerchief.
Hopefully it's not too late yet.
Soon, we arrived at Xiyuan.
Unfortunately, Madam Qiao was not there, and Chen Siyuan was somewhat disappointed. Later, she placed her in the West Garden and left with Chunping.
They left very slowly.
Chen Siyuan found it strange. Madam Qiao rarely went out, so why hadn't she returned by now?
Thinking about it, I felt even stranger.
General Qiao and Qiao Yuchen had been in the palace for a long time, and after returning, they were both very busy. Where did Madam Qiao go at this time?
Just then, I ran into the steward, who told me that General Qiao and Qiao Yuchen had gone out and hadn't returned yet. He also learned that Madam Qiao had gone to Ping'an Temple to offer incense.
This is a good thing. After coming and going, they should be back by now.
Why haven't they come back yet?
I was very worried, and then I suddenly remembered what I had seen in the palace.
Xu, the old nanny beside Princess Qiya, seemed to listen to Princess Honglian.
According to the previous life, Jiang Jinglin was stabbed, which revealed some things and made the Seventh Prince's situation even more difficult.
When Qiao Yuchen returned, he was exhausted. He hadn't been idle; clearly, something had already happened, and things hadn't turned out as badly as he had hoped, thanks to his own reminder to Qiao Yuchen.
Considering the relationship between Jiang Jinglin and Princess Honglian, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem, but...
