"Alright," Wen Kai said, standing up. "Leave the finding people to me. You take care of the business."
Wen Tao looked at his older cousin's back and said, "Cousin, are you really planning to spend your whole life..." He couldn't finish his sentence. Looking at his cousin's face, he knew that his cousin had his own plans.
In his view, even if he and his mother couldn't talk to each other about it, their relationship would improve a lot if his cousin was willing to get involved in the family business.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the eldest cousin, so there were many things he couldn't decide for himself.
Suddenly, a person came to mind: Chen Siyuan.
Perhaps she'll be in a much better situation.
Wen Kai did not stay at the Wen family's house for long after leaving.
The person he was looking for this time was the fifth prince of the Chen Kingdom.
His medical skills and poison abilities are unmatched. With the help of the fifth prince of Chen, my grandfather will surely be saved.
He traveled to many places and finally learned that the fifth prince of Chen was in the capital of Shang.
He had always known that the fifth prince of Chen was rarely in the Chen palace and was instead traveling around, which was normal. However, his other identity—that he was actually in the Shang Kingdom, specifically in the capital—was something he had not been informed of, and he felt this was no small matter.
If the fifth prince of Chen wants to do something to the people of the capital, it will be impossible to guard against. We must find him as soon as possible, ask him to treat my grandfather, and at the same time, it would be best to ask him to leave the capital.
Wen Kai thought about jumping onto his horse and quickly heading towards the General's Mansion.
He doesn't know many important people, but right now, Qiao Yuchen is one of them.
Qiao Yuchen has another identity, and based on his observations over this period of time, he felt that the only person he could ask for help with this matter was Qiao Yuchen.
Wen Kai quickly arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion. He had someone announce that he was not looking for Qiao Yuchen, but for Chen Siyuan.
He is Chen Siyuan's older cousin, and with that status, he can meet people more directly.
Sure enough, not long after the announcement, Chen Siyuan arrived quickly with her maid.
Upon seeing that figure, a smile appeared on Wen Kai's cold and hard face.
"Big cousin!" Chen Siyuan heard her cousin's arrival and immediately ran out, lifting her skirt.
Chunlan and Chunping were left far behind.
Upon seeing this, Wen Kai quickly walked in, "Cousin."
My cousin looks great; she must be enjoying herself here.
Thinking about this, if Qiao Yuchen dared to wrong his cousin, he wouldn't have to do anything. Just revealing Qiao Yuchen's other identity would prompt some people to take the initiative to attack him.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuchen didn't give him that chance.
"Big cousin, come in quickly." Chen Siyuan greeted him with a smile and invited him inside.
Wen Kai had just taken two steps when he heard a noise behind him, and the two of them turned around together.
Wen Tao rushed over, not expecting that his older cousin would also come to see Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan was also surprised to see Wen Tao.
She was thrilled to receive news that her older cousin had arrived, but after the initial excitement, she was startled. Could something have happened?
Seeing her second cousin arrive, she knew things were not simple.
He didn't show it on his face, but walked over to his second cousin and said, "Second cousin."
Wen Tao came up to him and looked at Wen Kai, "Cousin."
"Hmm." Wen Kai didn't understand why he had come, but he didn't show it on his face.
Soon the group arrived at Beiyuan, where Chen Siyuan saw Aunt Guo counting ants again at the entrance.
Chen Siyuan was somewhat displeased.
She didn't want her family to see this scene; the events at the General's Mansion had caused them some displeasure.
Wen Kai glanced at his cousin, then looked at Aunt Jiang who was standing beside him, "Aunt Jiang, you can give it a try."
Aunt Jiang looked at Wen Kai and immediately lowered her head, "Yes."
Others might not understand what he meant, but Jiang Ma knew perfectly well that Wen Kai was saying that Aunt Guo's martial arts skills were on par with her own, and he was reminding her of that.
Chen Siyuan couldn't understand what kind of cryptic conversation they were having, and she couldn't believe this situation was going to be anything good.
Staring at Aunt Guo, who was squatting on the ground, I could clearly see that her movements paused slightly.
I always thought that Aunt Guo's madness wasn't real, but now, just one sentence from my cousin has completely shattered her illusions.
Chen Siyuan invited Wen Tao and Wen Kai to go in first. She went to Aunt Guo's side and said, "Aunt Guo has seen what she wanted to see. You should leave now!" After saying this, she got up and left.
Soon, bursts of laughter echoed from the North Garden. It was almost time for dinner, and Chen Siyuan had prepared the meal. Qiao Yuchen also returned just in time.
Everything was so coincidental, and so perfectly natural.
The atmosphere during the meal was very pleasant, and we talked a lot.
Later, Qiao Yuchen and Wen Kai went to the study. Chen Siyuan looked at Wen Tao and asked directly, "Second cousin, what happened?"
Wen Tao was surprised to see Wen Kai, who was clearly there to see Qiao Yuchen. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only explain his purpose.
"My aunt and uncle are coming. You know their relationship. I was wondering if you could mediate between them, at least to prevent things from getting too tense at this time?"
It's a little embarrassing to say this, but it's the only solution Wentao can think of.
Chen Siyuan was silent for a while after hearing this. "You know that my relationship with my aunt is not very good."
"I know you haven't changed, I believe you." Wen Tao said, bowing his head, shifting the blame onto his cousin. There were too many inappropriate things to say, but he couldn't find a suitable person to blame.
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, "I'll try my best." They were originally in a hurry to leave, but because of this matter, they had to postpone it for the time being.
She didn't know if what she was doing was right, and only hoped that her involvement wouldn't make things worse.
She didn't have much affection for her aunt.
I didn't have much contact with her in my past life, and I haven't had any contact with her in this life yet, but I know my aunt's temper.
She appears to be a conventional, traditional woman, but she is too domineering, which is somewhat unacceptable to some.
Unfortunately, my uncle really likes my aunt, and their relationship is getting better and better, while his relationship with my cousin hasn't improved much over the years.
In their past lives, they all died one by one because of him, including his aunt who didn't think much of him.
She owes them many things.
"I'm relieved to hear that." Wen Tao was very outgoing and there was nothing he couldn't talk about with Chen Siyuan. Also, because they were about the same age, Chen Siyuan had helped him when he almost fell into a trap after arriving in Beijing.
Ultimately, it was after arriving in the capital that I was able to be a woman who felt at ease being myself.
Since they were relatives, Wentao naturally talked more.
Perhaps this could be considered a life-or-death bond between them.
Wentao poured drinks for the two of them, and as they clinked glasses, he asked, "When did they become so close?"
I didn't know that Qiao Yuchen and Wen Kai knew each other, and they seemed quite familiar with each other.
