The next day.
After that person left, Chen Siyuan had a nightmare all night.
My dreams are all about things that happened in my past life.
What she found even more unacceptable was what happened after she died in her previous life.
She even dreamt that on the day she was beheaded, Tao Yifan and Qiao Yuchen were both in the audience.
Tao Yifan turned around and went to a temple, shaved his head and became a monk.
Qiao Yuchen unleashed a massacre, and all the surrounding countries submitted to the Shang Kingdom under his brutal demonic blade.
After he used his iron-fisted methods to reclaim all the countries, he returned to his residence and committed suicide.
The dream was so bizarre that she found it unbelievable.
It seems that Tao Yifan's decision to become a monk and Qiao Yuchen's suicide in the dream were both because of himself.
Thinking about this, she found it funny the moment she opened her eyes.
How could she possess such charm that those two high and mighty men would go to such lengths for her?
It must have been the arrival of the Fifth Prince of Chen last night that reminded her of the unbearable nightmares of her past life, which led to these bizarre and whimsical dreams.
Chunlan and Chunping heard the commotion and came in to serve.
After washing up, I stood in front of the dressing table, looking at myself in the mirror. "Did you hear any noise last night?"
Chunlan shook her head. "No."
"And you?" Chen Siyuan asked Chunping.
"I was sleeping soundly and didn't hear it."
"Miss, what happened last night?" Chunlan asked.
"And you're telling me? Last night I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water, but there was no water left. I called you, but you didn't respond."
Upon hearing this, the two maids immediately knelt on the ground, crying, "We deserve to die!"
"Alright, I didn't mean to blame you. Just try to sleep more quietly from now on."
"This servant thanks Miss Xie."
"This servant thanks Miss Xie."
When Chunlan and Chunping woke up, they felt they had slept too soundly last night and initially thought nothing of it. But now, they realized they might have been infected.
Fortunately, the young lady didn't seem any different.
Chen Siyuan's heart sank.
The fifth prince of Chen is too skilled in martial arts. Should she find a powerful person to protect her?
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Siyuan did not forget what she needed to do today.
First, he went to Xiaju to have breakfast with his grandmother, and then took two maids with him to check on his shop.
She knew something big was about to happen, but she still wanted to change the existing pattern.
So many shops, all in good locations, it's a real shame to waste them.
She decided to differentiate between the different shops. She went to investigate again to determine which shop was suitable for selling high-end fabrics, which shop was suitable for buying affordable fabrics, and she didn't want to miss out on mid-range fabrics either.
They also felt that having fabric alone wasn't enough; a finished product was also necessary.
This way, when others buy fabric, they will know what style of clothing the fabric is suitable for.
More importantly, many fabrics are quite ordinary, but different processing methods can result in different effects.
This can also be considered as guiding consumption.
This time, Chen Siyuan did not take a carriage, but instead headed towards several shops with two maids.
As I walked, I heard the voices of some servants talking.
"Have you heard? There was a murder at Crescent Lake. There wasn't a single survivor."
"How could I not know about something so important? I heard that Lord Ye is currently investigating the case inside."
"What a tragedy! So many people have died!"
"I don't know who they offended, but everyone was poisoned to death."
Chen Siyuan was startled when she heard this.
Are all the people of Crescent Lake dead?
Greenie's lover was a handyman at Crescent Lake. Did he die too?
The two maids were also startled when they heard this.
What exactly happened?
A few days ago, that incident happened at the warm house. Later, in other people's eyes, Greenie was dead, but in the middle of the night, Greenie came back to life in a deserted place.
What exactly happened?
I have a feeling that it's related to Greenie.
Chen Siyuan also thought of this, and without pausing, she quickly walked to the shop.
Upon arriving at the shop, Chen Siyuan quickly got to work, keeping even the two maids busy as they were.
They were so busy all day that they didn't even have lunch.
As they left in the evening, they stopped at a restaurant and had lunch and dinner there.
When they finished eating and came out, there weren't many people on the street.
Only a few people walked by, and most of them were men.
At this hour, those still busy outside are either men eager to go home or scumbags who have nothing better to do than seek out women.
Along the way, Chen Siyuan kept talking, praising the family-oriented men to the skies and wishing she could kill and trample the scumbags.
Chunlan and Chunping were speechless.
If the young lady and Tao Yifan were to get married, it would likely be a similar scenario.
They dared not speak, and could only follow quietly behind.
They were walking back to the Chen family home.
From afar, they saw Chen Xin get into the carriage.
Leaving at this time seems inappropriate.
Chen Siyuan thought back to the last time Chen Xin also left the Chen family very late. What was she doing there?
She seemed quite mysterious, and when she got on the carriage, she was carrying a box that looked rather heavy.
Could it be...?
Chen Siyuan was startled. There was a treasure in that box, but... where did Chen Xin get the treasure?
Thinking back to his past life, Chen Xin had a powerful backer in Beijing, and he thought it was very likely Qiao Yuchen. Could it be that they have reconnected in this life?
If that's really the case, then it's a bad thing.
"Chunlan".
"Young Miss?" Chunlan looked at the young lady.
"Follow him and see who Chen Xin is meeting and what he's doing."
"Yes, Miss." Chunlan responded and left.
As Chen Xin got into the carriage and left, he pulled the curtains shut tightly, as if afraid of being seen.
A woman going out at this time is definitely not a good person; if she is caught in the act, her reputation will be completely ruined.
Chen Siyuan watched the carriage drive away, her eyes turning slightly cold.
In her past life, Aunt Zhao always had endless tricks and schemes, and Chen Xin had a powerful backer. Now, their situation is different. They thought things would calm down for a while, but it seems like wishful thinking.
Thinking to himself, with Aunt Zhao gone, Chen Xin would have to keep busy on his own, but what about Chen Fan?
Hopefully, the people Wang Li found have already arrived by Chen Fan's side, then...
"Young Miss—" Chunping couldn't help but remind her when she saw that the young lady hadn't come home yet.
Chen Siyuan glanced at her and quickly walked towards the Chen family home.
Walking in familiar surroundings, with Aunt Zhao gone and Chen Xin gone, the current Chen family made Chen Siyuan feel much more at ease.
