Chen Siyuan returned to the warm residence with two maids. Not long after she entered, Wang Li arrived in a hurry.
"Young Miss, you were looking for me."
Chen Siyuan didn't speak, but stared at Wang Li for a few moments.
"Young Miss, you..." Wang Li felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and quickly took a few steps back.
Chunlan pulled Chen Siyuan back.
Even though Wang Li is the young lady's man, he is still a man. It's inappropriate for the young lady to stare at a man like that.
Chen Siyuan didn't think too much about it. She circled around Wang Li and said, "Wang Li, your injuries seem to have healed."
Wang Li immediately lowered his head, not daring to even glance at Chen Siyuan.
Could it be... that his secret has been discovered?
I'm feeling very conflicted and don't know what to do.
"Oh, I see. You must have secretly used some good medicine to make your wound heal so quickly."
Wang Li stood awkwardly, stammering, "If there's nothing else, Miss, I'll take my leave now."
"No, wait a minute." Chen Siyuan said, glancing at Chunlan and Chunping beside her. "You two stand guard at the door. No one is allowed to come in."
The two maids looked at the young lady with surprise. Did the young lady not trust them anymore? Otherwise, why would she leave Wang Li behind alone?
Thinking it over, he didn't slow down and left quickly.
Upon seeing this, Wang Li's earlier worries vanished. He wondered what the young lady wanted to see him about so late at night.
"Go find a beautiful woman tonight, no matter how much it costs."
Wang Li was taken aback. Who was the young lady going to deal with?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Chen Siyuan turned and went into the inner hall, where she quickly took out two thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Wang Li.
Before coming to the young lady's side, Wang Li had followed Old Master Wen for many years, and had come into contact with many people and things, so it was not difficult for him to pay someone to do things.
"Who is the young lady going to deal with?" Wang Li asked.
"Chen Fan".
Song Ji, Aunt Zhao, Chen Xin, Chen Fan, Chen Xin's backer in the capital...
In his previous life, these people never let him go, even until their deaths; this time, they definitely won't hold back.
Just now, she suddenly remembered a secret she had unintentionally learned in her past life.
"Chen Fan?" Wang Li was taken aback.
If he wanted to take action against Chen Fan, he could simply ask, and he could do it anyway, so why bother spending money?
A chilling smile flashed in Chen Siyuan's eyes. "Chen Fan doesn't like women."
Wang Li frowned.
If you don't like someone, you give them to a woman?
That doesn't make sense.
As for Aunt Zhao sending the quilt to the village, it seems unlikely that it will end well no matter how many times it is sent.
When Chen Fan met Wang Li's surprised gaze, she didn't say much, but simply told him to go and do his job.
Chen Siyuan smiled as she watched Wang Li leave.
Aunt Zhao had always thought that Chen Fan was her support and her ultimate reliance. If she found out at this moment that her good son was actually a womanizer, one can only imagine how devastated Aunt Zhao would be.
She discovered this by accident in her past life, but didn't expose it. Now she wants to see what it's like for someone to break down.
Everything he experienced in his past life, he wanted to demonstrate to them, to let them know what despair was.
"Young Miss—"
After Wang Li left, Chunlan and Chunping came in and saw that the young lady's eyes were strange, so they couldn't help but speak up.
Chen Siyuan glanced at them, then turned and walked towards the inner hall.
He lay on the bed, attended to by two maids.
These past few days have been incredibly busy. She's been dealing with the Chen family, eliminating the traitor, overseeing the shop's business, and constantly thinking of ways to make money. Nothing is easy, and Chen Siyuan, utterly exhausted, slowly fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but the shadow left over from her past life made Chen Siyuan sense danger. She immediately pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stared at the window.
"Miss Chen is indeed ruthless; she doesn't even spare her own family." A cold male voice came from beside the window.
Chen Siyuan stared at the approaching figure and noticed that there was no movement outside. She knew that this person was extremely skilled in martial arts, otherwise Chunlan and Chunping would have rushed in long ago.
"Who are you?" Chen Siyuan asked, struggling to control her racing heart as she looked at the masked man who had approached her.
She suspected that it might be an assassin hired by Aunt Zhao.
"Young Miss is indeed extraordinary. At this moment, all she wants to know is who I am?" The man said as he approached.
Chen Siyuan seized the opportunity and stabbed the hairpin in her hand into the opponent's vital point.
With a single palm strike, Chen Siyuan was thrown onto the bed.
She reacted quickly, immediately getting up while still clutching the hairpin tightly in her hand.
My hairpin is different from others; it was given to me by my maternal grandfather.
There were originally two, but one of them went missing at some point.
She wanted to get a few more for self-defense, but then this happened.
Who exactly are you?
Does it matter who it is?
Chen Siyuan was terrified. So much time had passed and no one had come yet; she had to rely on herself.
Knowing full well that she was no match for this man, Chen Siyuan still went all out to protect herself.
At that moment, she thought that if she succeeded, she might still have a chance to live; if she failed, she would die.
Once you die, you have nothing left.
Ignoring the danger before her, Chen Siyuan swung the hairpin in her hand at the other person again, this time not at the heart, but at the neck.
Sensing the approaching palm strike, she still gritted her teeth and charged forward.
At that moment, the other party unexpectedly deflected her palm strike, using the outstretched hand to block her waist. With a twist, the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.
Chen Siyuan was dumbfounded.
She was no match for this man, and now she had no weapons. How could she protect herself?
As a large, cold hand gripped her neck, she quickly felt difficulty breathing.
The feeling of suffocation terrified her.
She clearly wanted to live in her past life, but she still died so miserably. Will she die so pathetically this time as well?
She was unwilling to accept it, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
At that moment, she hated her own insignificance and her own powerlessness.
In her final moments, she could struggle, but faced with the mask before her, she wanted to know who was trying to kill her before she died.
With her last bit of strength, she could have saved herself and lived a little longer, but instead, she used all her strength to push off the mask of the man in front of her.
As the mask fell off, a handsome face was revealed.
That face truly shocked her.
Seemingly unable to believe it, she still stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her. He had sharp features, a straight nose, and deep-set eyes, with some characteristics of people from the Western Regions.
Especially those eyes, which were actually purple.
It's him!
It really is him!
Looking at his ear, I saw he was wearing an earring.
This... he was actually the fifth prince of the Chen Kingdom, the one who sent himself to the executioner's block in his previous life because of a letter with this person.
