General's Mansion.
When Qiao Zhen woke up, she found Aunt Xu with red, swollen eyes from crying.
"Zhen'er, how could you drink outside, especially with...with Chen Siyuan?"
Wang Ma happened to be bringing in some hangover soup when she heard this. She stopped and looked back. Seeing that there was no one else around, she felt relieved and went to the bedside.
Aunt Xu took the hangover soup and handed it to her daughter, saying, "Zhen'er, drink some first, so your head won't feel so bad."
Seeing how much weight her daughter had lost in just a few days made her feel terrible.
Seeing her daughter like this, she hated Li Kun to the core. She should have killed him back then. Now it's even better; living is more effective than dying.
After learning that Li Kun was not dead, she severely punished Wang Ma and then personally did some things.
It's fortunate that Li Kun still has some sense; otherwise, she would have really turned him into a dead man.
Qiao Zhen held the small bowl and drank a bowl of hangover soup. Her head still felt a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Aunt Xu next to her and lay down again.
She didn't say a word the whole time, but she obediently drank the hangover soup that Aunt Xu brought her.
Aunt Xu didn't stay long. She picked up her empty bowl and got up. "You should rest well. I'll come see you again later."
Qiao Zhen didn't say a word or make a single glance throughout the entire process. After hearing these words, she slowly closed her eyes.
Wang Ma was anxious watching from the side, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only leave with Aunt Xu.
After they left, Juhong followed them and saw the young lady open her eyes.
"Young Miss?"
"I'm tired, you can leave now!"
"Yes." Juhong clearly sensed that the young lady didn't like her lately.
Yesterday they wouldn't let me go with them, so I went out alone, and I'm doing the same today.
With red eyes, she came outside and sat by the door, secretly wiping away her tears.
Qiao Zhen lay on the bed, thinking about how she had finally mustered up the courage to confide her feelings to someone, only to receive such a lukewarm response in return.
"I understand, you've met a jerk."
"Heartless, ungrateful, and your vows are worthless!"
It was not surprising at all that these words came from Chen Siyuan's mouth.
Now, thinking back to the expression on Chen Siyuan's face when she said those words, she smiled.
She's right. It's always better to see someone clearly now than to discover it later and not even have a chance to make amends.
Sister-in-law.
For the first time, Qiao Zhen felt that having such an interesting sister-in-law was quite nice.
He couldn't open up to anyone and tell them what was on his mind, yet he said this to Chen Siyuan, whom he had only known for a short time.
Thinking about everything that happened after Chen Siyuan married into the general's mansion, I suddenly felt that Chen Siyuan was a woman as sunny as sunshine.
The more you look at it, the more dazzling it becomes.
Suddenly, she remembered something Chen Siyuan had once told her. She immediately got up and called Juhong in to serve her. After a stick of incense had burned, she hurriedly left with her maid.
Warm room.
When Aunt Xu heard that her daughter had gone out again, she was extremely worried.
Without thinking twice, she quickly took Wang Ma out.
They followed behind, worried that Qiao Zhen was still not giving up. When they arrived outside Su Ji Pastry Shop, they could no longer remain calm.
What's going on?
Did something not go well yesterday, or did their daughter discover something, and that's why they agreed to meet here?
Thinking of this, Aunt Xu's expression changed repeatedly.
She desperately wanted to rush in, grab her daughter's hair, and tell her that Li Kun was not good enough for her daughter. But she was also worried that if she went in and saw something she shouldn't have, how would her daughter face her in the future?
She was anxious and worried, but when she saw her daughter come out carrying pastries, the expression on her face almost scared Aunt Xu to death.
Damn it!
As expected, Li Kun is a scoundrel.
You promised me, but you still...
Aunt Xu followed behind with Wang Ma. She had already made up her mind that even if it meant killing someone in front of her daughter, she would still kill Li Kun.
Unexpectedly, after worrying all the way, they followed behind and saw Qiao Zhen return to the General's Mansion, and then saw their daughter heading towards the North Garden.
Aunt Xu could no longer remain calm.
What does this mean?
Could it be that in order to be with Li Kun, my daughter went so far as to beg Chen Siyuan to help her get together with that bastard Li Kun?
Thinking of this, Aunt Xu turned and left the General's Mansion.
Beiyuan.
Chen Siyuan thought that after hearing about what happened yesterday, she felt ashamed and stayed hidden under the covers, refusing to come out.
Chunlan and Chunping seemed to know what the young mistress was thinking, and they quietly went about their own business.
When Qiao Zhen arrived, she brought Su Ji pastries. Chun Ping went to the inner room to report, and Chen Siyuan had no choice but to get up.
It took an incense stick's time to get everything dressed.
When Chen Siyuan came out, she met Qiao Zhen's teasing gaze, and she didn't hold back, "What kind of look is that?"
Qiao Zhen smiled slightly, "Knowing that my sister-in-law likes Su Ji's pastries, I went and bought some freshly baked pastries and brought them over."
Su Ji Pastries, still fresh from the oven.
Chen Siyuan suddenly felt hungry.
Later, with the help of Aunt Jiang and two maids, a not-so-early breakfast was quickly served, along with freshly baked pastries, which Chen Siyuan enjoyed.
Qiao Zhen was also infected by Chen Siyuan's appetite and ate a lot as well.
Juhong was truly amazed. She didn't know when the young lady and the young mistress had become so close. Seeing that the young lady had such a good appetite, she was happy for her too.
These past few days, something seems to have happened between the young lady and Aunt Xu; they seem to be competing with each other. Aunt Xu hasn't been eating much for days and has lost a lot of weight. Now that she sees the young lady eating so much, Aunt Xu is relieved.
After the meal, the two chatted in the garden for a while, talking about what wealthy families liked, what clothes they wore, and what handkerchiefs they carried.
These were all the little thoughts of daughters in their boudoirs, and Qiao Zhen was aware of them.
The two got along very well, and by noon, when Aunt Jiang and her two maids had prepared lunch and were about to eat, Qiao Yuchen returned from outside.
Qiao Zhen had already picked up her chopsticks, but the moment she saw Qiao Yuchen, she immediately bowed respectfully and ran away.
They ran away.
They really ran away.
Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Zhen's expression and laughed heartily without giving her any face.
Even after running away, Qiao Zhen could still hear that laughter.
I'm speechless.
"You drank again yesterday!" Qiao Yuchen was speechless at the woman.
It seems the woman really likes Qiao Zhen.
I didn't have any feelings about the people in the General's Mansion before, but now I think Qiao Zhen is not bad either.
She's not a very calculating person, which women like, and it would be safer for her to stay in the mansion from now on.
However, that Aunt Xu should be given a good talking-to, lest she become ungrateful and do something reckless.
"I was in a good mood yesterday and had a couple more drinks." Chen Siyuan knew her own feelings now. When facing Qiao Yuchen, she didn't give her all like she did in her past life. Therefore, she wasn't as cautious when interacting with him and was much more natural.
"In a good mood?" That's not a good way to say it, is it?
Qiao Yuchen thought for a moment, then simply sat down next to the woman, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
