Warm home.
While Madam Chen was having breakfast, Lin Ma stood beside her and recounted what had happened outside.
"Madam, Aunt Zhao has been seen off."
"Good thing she's gone." If she hadn't left, she wouldn't have been able to resist killing the woman.
Lin Ma smiled and said, "I heard that the young lady gave each person five taels of silver."
"This girl knows how to win people's hearts," the old lady said with a smile.
She was happy to see her granddaughter, who had been so ignorant, finally grow up.
Now that Aunt Zhao is not at home, Chen Siyuan has grown up, and Chen Luyang has returned, she suddenly feels that the Chen family, which has been in turmoil for so long, has finally quieted down.
"The second young master is about to leave for the capital. With this happening, could it be...?"
"No," the old lady insisted.
In a small place like Nancheng, he was considered a figure of some importance, but in a big city like the capital, his little bit of cleverness was simply no match for him.
As long as we keep Aunt Zhao under control and cut off her escape route, I believe Chen Fan won't be able to cause any major trouble, no matter how capable he is.
As for Chen Xin, she knew in her heart that she was determined to marry into the Tao family, but with Aunt Zhao's affair, there was absolutely no hope for her.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Tao Yifan.
She arrived at just the right time; by the time she returned, she was already gone.
It seems like all he did was make a brief appearance, with no other intentions.
I don't know what Tao Yifan is trying to do.
Looking back now, Tao Yifan was too deep. If he cared about his granddaughter, that would be fine, but if he didn't, given his granddaughter's limited intelligence, she was genuinely worried.
Having lived to such an old age, she has come to realize that marrying high up doesn't necessarily mean marrying well!
Thinking of this, he asked, "Miss, was there any commotion that day?"
"The young lady went out early, saying she was going to a shop outside."
"This girl is really carefree. She's not in a hurry to get married, but she's more concerned about the shop."
"That's right, I feel like the young lady has become a different person. Seeing her making such a fuss, I also feel..." Lin Ma was too happy and, as she spoke, she felt a chill next to her. Only then did she notice the old lady's gaze and quickly lowered her head.
"Remember, that's the young lady. No one can say anything bad about her."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
"Good to know. If I hear it again, I'll give you a beating."
Lin Ma lowered her head and muttered to herself, "If I can get five taels of silver as a reward, a beating with a board wouldn't be bad either."
......
evening.
After a busy day, Chen Siyuan returned by horse-drawn carriage.
The carriage stopped in front of the Chen family's house. She had just gotten off the carriage when she saw Chen Xin standing at the door.
At this time, Aunt Zhao should have gone to the estate.
After making a fuss all night, it's still the same.
hehe--
Thinking about this makes me feel really good!
"Sister's back!" Chen Xin stood at the door, his eyes sharp.
As the setting sun cast its last rays on his face, Chen Xin appeared to Chen Siyuan as a venomous beast lurking in the shadows.
"Hmm, Aunt Zhao went to the estate?" Chen Siyuan asked casually.
It seems like they're showing off yesterday's victory.
Chen Xin looked at the venomous snake before him and said, "Why is my sister so aggressive!"
Chen Siyuan covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed, "My half-sister, you don't need to look at me like that. I'm just granting you your wishes."
The facade has already been torn off, so why bother pretending anymore?
"Sister," Chen Xin said in a low voice, "Heaven is watching what people do. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating Mother like this!"
"Even if lightning strikes, it will hit you first."
"Chen Siyuan, don't be so smug. You'll regret it sooner or later."
Chen Siyuan looked at her coldly and said, "Chen Xin, if you keep your mouth shut and go around saying bad things about me, be careful I cut out your tongue."
Chen Xin stared intently at Chen Siyuan, "You'll regret this."
Chen Siyuan laughed, "If you want to wait for Chen Fan to come back from high school and bully me, then come on then!"
"No need to wait until then," Chen Xin said, and quickly left.
She didn't enter the mansion; she walked outside.
Chen Siyuan was taken aback. Chen Xin's imposing manner suggested that she had not blocked Chen Xin's powerful backers in the capital.
Watching Chen Xin walk away, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
If she can stop it once, she can stop it a second time.
Back at the warm room, I changed my clothes.
I went to Xiaju to have dinner with my grandmother.
After the meal, Chen Siyuan lingered and refused to leave.
"Alright, you're a grown man, why are you still clinging on and refusing to leave? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"No matter how old you get, you'll still be my grandmother, and I'll still be your granddaughter," Chen Siyuan said, picking up some melon seeds and eating them.
"Where did you learn to be so shameless?" Old Madam Chen was truly speechless.
If a girl like that really gets married, wouldn't I be worried about her for the rest of my life?
Originally, I thought Tao Yifan was too shrewd. What if he bullied my granddaughter? That would be terrible... I sighed helplessly.
She had been led astray by Aunt Zhao, and she was worried sick about it. Now that she knows Aunt Zhao is gone, she... has turned back into a child.
"Grandmother, don't sigh. I learned this thick skin from you."
"Get out!" Old Madam Chen was truly enraged.
Lin's mother chuckled to herself.
The young lady is so shameless and mischievous.
Seeing the old lady's beaming face, he was speechless.
Even though she clearly cares, she keeps a straight face; who wouldn't be scared if they saw that?
"Oh dear, Grandma, look, even Aunt Lin thinks you're too fierce."
