"What?" Chen Siyuan had just returned to the General's Mansion and hadn't even caught her breath when she heard this news. She was shocked.
The message came from Black Hawk Down, so there's no doubt about it.
Looking at Black Hawk, whose expression was equally grave, she knew this was no small matter.
Why did Black Hawk only receive this news now?
Could it be that you left in such a hurry that you didn't find out about such a secret?
He left in a hurry back then, and such a major event wouldn't be easily leaked out; Qiao Yuchen's people are not ordinary.
How could I not know?
Could it be that someone is deliberately hiding it? This seems to be the only possibility she can think of.
More than a hundred students lost their lives; this is no small matter.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan thought of a possibility: the fifth prince of Chen, Ruoli, whom she had met at Ping'an Temple, and who later broke into her bedroom without alerting anyone else.
As Chen Siyuan pondered, her mood became very heavy, as if a stone was pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to move and even her breathing became difficult.
Then he thought of the deal he made with Ruoli when he left.
Judging from the timeline, it should be about time.
At this moment, she felt very conflicted.
She knew better than anyone what her grandfather meant to her. If she angered a wolf while trying to treat him, things would get complicated.
While Black Hawk was feeling conflicted, he continued to recount the various events, big and small, that had recently occurred in Beijing, all of which seemed to be related to him.
"Jiang Manyun's two maids are dead, both beheaded. Jiang Manyun was stabbed in the chest, but she is now out of danger."
"After Consort Qing went to the Cold Palace, Granny Zhao died a few days ago, and now Consort Qing has gone mad."
"Princess Honglian, who was confined to her quarters all day, has now begun chanting Buddhist scriptures every day."
Upon hearing these three pieces of news in a row, Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm.
They were all related to him, or perhaps he was the mastermind behind what happened that day.
She could vaguely guess why.
Regardless of whether something is true or false, it's all part of a chain reaction that happens after the event, and no one can escape it.
She wasn't entirely clear about the status of Consort Qing and Princess Honglian in the capital and the palace, so it was unlikely that they could be easily brought down.
Fortunately, I wasn't in Beijing during this time; otherwise, things wouldn't have been so clean around me.
Seeing that the young mistress's expression was gradually returning to calm, Black Hawk spoke again.
"The concubine of the Fifth Prince's mansion has died. I heard it was because of two of her concubines vying for the emperor's favor."
Hearing this, Chen Siyuan was very surprised. Thinking of the Fifth Princess Consort she had seen that day, her public appearance clearly indicated that she had made some decision.
What she said that day was not entirely unexpected for Chen Siyuan.
"Wang Yuyan, who lives in the Chen family, secretly built a man in the backyard of the Chen family last night, without the help of the maids."
These words made Chen Siyuan lose her composure; she could no longer remain silent. "Who is that person?"
"There's still no news about the people who followed them."
Chen Siyuan felt uneasy about these words. The fact that there was still no news from Qiao Yuchen's people indicated that the person who had been in contact with Wang Yuyan was not a simple individual.
What had initially given them some doubt about Ping'an Temple is now almost certain.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan felt that her grandmother's decision might be right, and perhaps she really shouldn't have gotten too involved. Even the child in Wang Yuyan's womb had a lot of problems.
The bond between mother and child is an immutable law.
Chen Siyuan was getting restless and wanted to go to the Chen family immediately, but then Madam Qiao arrived, and Chen Siyuan had to suppress her temper and greet her mother-in-law.
"Mother—" Chen Siyuan bowed respectfully.
Mrs. Qiao immediately stepped forward and took Chen Siyuan's hand, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
This is what mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been one of the most difficult problems, and no one can solve it. The status of the daughter-in-law in the mother-in-law's heart is determined by the son.
The son's indifference will only make things worse.
The son's bias towards his mother will only make the problem worse.
When the son doesn't have to do anything, as long as he shows concern for his wife, all these problems will be solved.
This is just a problem for ordinary families, but it's different here.
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yuchen have a different relationship now; they are truly sincere towards each other.
"Mother, I brought you a gift." Chen Siyuan said, looking at Chunping beside her. Chunping immediately brought over the gift she had bought.
This departure wasn't particularly significant for Chen Siyuan, but she wouldn't forget the proper etiquette.
The things I bought were all purchased along the way; they weren't very expensive, just some interesting little folk trinkets.
Mrs. Qiao was quite surprised to see these things.
I originally thought Chen Siyuan would buy a lot of expensive things, but seeing these things made me even happier than seeing expensive things.
Thinking back to the letters he had received, Qiao Yuchen always thought of 'Mother', and Mrs. Qiao was even more delighted with Chen Siyuan.
"You still like these things?"
"Yeah, it looked fun, so I bought it." Chen Siyuan played with it in her hand. "I'm thinking of giving it to my mother and younger sister later."
"And Qiao Zhen?" Madam Qiao seemed reluctant to mention this person, and her expression changed slightly when she said this.
"Mother, what's wrong? Did Qiao Zhen make you angry?"
Just a moment ago she was calling her younger sister, but seeing Madam Qiao's unpleasant expression, she immediately became Qiao Zhen.
This change amused Mrs. Joe.
"It's nothing major, it's just that Qiao Zhen and Aunt Xu didn't seem to have a good time before."
Chen Siyuan realized that no matter how big or small the whole General's Mansion was, it could not escape Madam Qiao's eyes.
Luckily, I was smart enough not to run into them directly.
