Chen Siyuan looked at the Fifth Princess Consort, feigning surprise, "You're actually a princess consort?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide my identity."
“I saw the Fifth Princess Consort at several palace banquets, and I found it strange at the time. Now I realize that I had known her for a long time.”
"Hehe—" She wouldn't have come if she hadn't been tied up today.
Now that I think about it, it must be related to the Fifth Princess Consort. Otherwise, why would such a coincidence happen today? It would be strange if there were no ghosts involved.
Having not managed the affairs of the manor for a long time, and not wanting anyone to scheme against her, she should eliminate some of the troublemakers to prevent anyone from thinking she's always out and about and that they're easy to bully.
I suddenly remembered what the maidservant beside me had said.
Not long ago, someone broke into the Fifth Prince's mansion at night and was injured by the mansion's guards.
By sheer coincidence, the Fifth Princess met the so-called guard, who turned out to be not a member of the Fifth Prince's household at all.
"What's wrong?" Chen Siyuan saw that the Fifth Princess was not speaking and assumed that she had discovered that she knew her identity and that was why she was deliberately getting closer.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some random things."
"So that's what it is. I was also frightened today. I wonder if I could go to the Fifth Princess's hot pot restaurant to calm my nerves?"
"no problem!"
Thanks to a crucial remark from the Fifth Princess, they officially got to know each other.
However, given what happened today, it was not advisable to stay here for too long, so one by one they left.
Chen Siyuan went to see Madam Qiao first. Seeing that Madam Qiao looked much better, Chen Siyuan was relieved.
The journey back was very quiet.
Mrs. Qiao did not speak, and Chen Siyuan did not say anything more.
Today's events were caused by me, so nothing Chen Siyuan says will be right.
Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Chen Siyuan first escorted Madam Qiao back to the West Garden. After returning to the North Garden herself, she felt utterly exhausted.
Having narrowly escaped a disaster, Chen Siyuan felt a little heavy-hearted, but mostly relieved.
Now she feels that the person she should be most grateful to is Wang Yuyan.
Seeing that it was getting late, and knowing how exhausting the day had been, she lay down on the soft couch, thinking, "Tomorrow, I must go to the Chen family."
......
The next day.
After washing up and having breakfast, Chen Siyan took a carriage to the Chen family home.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Siyuan was still thinking about what Black Hawk had said when she left.
Princess Honglian has been confined by the Emperor and will soon be sent to a remote nunnery.
None of the palace maids and eunuchs around Princess Honglian survived, and even Consort Qing was banished to the Cold Palace.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Siyuan was stunned for a long time.
She was surprised that the Emperor would be so angry and impose such a punishment.
However, this is all the fault of some people and has little to do with her.
She was simply returning the bad things that others should have done to her.
When I arrived at the Chen family home, my grandmother was arranging things. Seeing her, I felt a pang of sympathy for her, who had been putting on a brave face all this time after yesterday's events.
After crying in her grandmother's arms for a while, her grandmother found it strange and didn't say anything until Chen Siyuan calmed down.
When asked by her grandmother, she gave a rough account of what happened yesterday.
When Madam Chen heard that Chen Siyuan had taken precautions in advance because of Wang Yuyan's reminder, she remained silent for a long time.
She had never liked Wang Yuyan, but after going through this ordeal, Wang Yuyan had saved Chen Siyuan.
For a moment, Madam Chen didn't know how to face Wang Yuyan.
Chen Siyuan looked at her grandmother and, after obtaining her consent, invited Wang Yuyan to come over.
One reason was to give Wang Yuyan a chance to advance, and the other was to help Wang Yuyan out, so that at least the child in Wang Yuyan's womb would have a proper status.
As for what will happen to Wang Yuyan in the future, Chen Siyuan shouldn't worry too much.
This is a matter between the eldest brother and Wang Yuyan's relationship; it's not appropriate for her to get too involved.
Furthermore, there's a love potion standing between the eldest brother and Wang Yuyan.
This is also a hindrance.
Soon, she will travel to the Feathered Clan to find an antidote for her elder brother, but she doesn't know what the final outcome will be.
We can no longer make any guarantees about Wang Yuyan.
Soon after, Wang Yuyan arrived.
Chen Siyuan quickly stood up and personally pulled Wang Yuyan to sit next to her.
After hearing what had just happened, Madam Chen's expression softened considerably towards Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan felt a little awkward, unsure of where to put her hands.
Chen Siyuan took the initiative to tell Wang Yuyan about her trip to Ping'an Temple to pray for blessings yesterday. Old Madam Chen saw this clearly from the side, and Wang Yuyan's eyes flashed with worry.
She was an elderly woman, and she could see through that look clearly.
Without saying anything, Chen Siyuan and Wang Yuyan chatted for a while, and then Old Madam Chen lay down on the soft couch to rest, saying she was tired.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Siyuan pulled Wang Yuyan into the courtyard, saying it was for a walk, and took the initiative to talk about Ping'an Temple.
"How did you know?" Chen Siyuan liked to speak directly and didn't want to beat around the bush.
Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Can I not tell you?"
Chen Siyuan nodded and smiled slightly at Wang Yuyan, "I owe you a favor."
"Need not."
Chen Siyuan looked at Wang Yuyan, wondering if she was really that magnanimous.
Thinking back to the poetry gathering in Nancheng, Wang Yuyan was not like this. What happened after I left that made her change so much?
Chen Siyuan stared at her intently and said, "There's something I've never understood, and I would appreciate it if Miss Wang could enlighten me."
Wang Yuyan sighed softly, looked at her and smiled bitterly, and said, "The First-Rank Lady is talking about your eldest brother, isn't she?"
Chen Siyuan raised an eyebrow slightly. When Wang Yuyan mentioned her elder brother, she felt a little anxious.
"Miss Wang, my older brother isn't exactly handsome."
Every time Chen Siyuan said something, Wang Yuyan's face paled.
She lowered her head slightly, remaining silent.
Chen Siyuan was getting a little impatient.
"I don't know what exactly happened in Nancheng, but the current you is not the Miss Wang I know."
Wang Yuyan didn't explain, but looked up at Chen Siyuan and solemnly said, "I like him."
"But you seem to have made things a bit messy." Logically speaking, Wang Yuyan and her older brother would be a good match, but it seems they had a bad start.
Wang Yuyan's face was completely pale, without a trace of blood.
She took a deep breath, as if gathering all her strength, and suddenly looked up at Chen Siyuan.
"I like him, and I would do anything for him." As she spoke, Wang Yuyan's face flushed.
Wang Yuyan felt a little embarrassed when she said those words.
If she weren't forced by the current situation, she wouldn't want to say it in front of Chen Siyuan.
She could see clearly that Chen Luyang cared a lot about this younger sister, and perhaps he could hear her words through her sister's mouth.
“I may be shameless and despicable, but your older brother is also unmarried, and I am innocent. I just want to take a chance on myself.”
