Song Ji suddenly looked at Chen Siyuan, his eyes turning cold.
Everyone looked on with disdain.
Saving someone and losing your own life is truly unheard of.
"Oh?" Tao Yifan glanced at Chen Siyuan and uttered a single syllable.
Chen Zhaokun panicked immediately. It was bad enough that this girl was always throwing her weight around in the mansion, but she actually dared to act so out in front of Tao Yifan. She was simply courting death!
What's even more infuriating is that she dragged the Chen family into it as well.
Are you crazy?
Chen Siyuan smiled faintly and said, "Chunlan, bring her in."
Chunlan walked in from outside, followed by a clever servant boy named Wang Li.
Wang Li, Chunlan, and Chunping were all sent by her maternal grandfather. They were responsible for Chen Siyuan's safety. Over the years, she trusted Aunt Zhao too much, to the point that no matter what these people said or did, she always saw them as having ulterior motives.
These people, who were not trusted, soon gave their lives one by one to save her.
Wang Li stepped forward and bowed to Chen Siyuan, "Miss, the person has been found."
"Bring him in," Chen Siyuan said coldly.
It seemed that there were only the two of them in the room, and the people standing around were just for show.
Soon, Wang Li brought in several people from outside. One look at their clothes and he knew who they were.
There were blacksmiths, beggars, street performers, and odd jobs in restaurants.
After they came in, they knelt on the ground one by one, trembling.
When Ye Jianyuan saw that Chen Siyuan had brought these people to Young Master Tao, his heart trembled, and he felt that his official hat was no longer secure.
Damn it!
Thinking to himself, he glared at Chen Zhaokun, then cautiously glanced at Tao Yifan, this formidable figure.
This year is an important year; whether he gets promoted and becomes wealthy depends heavily on this large Buddha statue.
Tao Yifan frowned deeply, a cold and impatient glint flashing in his deep eyes.
"Chunlan, you go first." Chen Siyuan seemed to be dealing with matters in her own courtyard, completely ignoring everyone present once again. She had no time to pay attention to Tao Yifan's expression.
Chunlan knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I have investigated. After the carriage accident today, the driver ran away."
Aunt Zhao, who had been silent and practically invisible, suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground, and explained to everyone, "Li Si must have been scared and ran away."
Chen Siyuan's eyes turned cold as she looked at the people kneeling on the ground. "Tell me what you know."
Upon hearing this, the four quickly shared what they knew, fearing that if they spoke too late, they would end up like that person, never having another chance to speak.
"The day before yesterday, Li Si came to the shop to get a new pair of horseshoes."
"Yesterday, Li Si sent me to find a few brothers outside the city, saying that if we did a good job, we would be rewarded with a meal. When I took a few brothers to the city gate, a fight broke out just as the young lady's carriage was about to pass by."
“I said, Li Si came to the ship last night, drank some wine and said that he would make a fortune today, and then he wouldn’t have to do servant’s work.”
The first part of what he said seemed harmless at first, but as he listened, he gradually realized something was amiss: "You'll make a fortune today."
Chen Siyuan's carriage was startled; Li Si had just made a fortune? Now Li Si has disappeared.
With so many things happening at once, those who had experienced major events in their lives could tell that this was no ordinary matter.
Chen Siyuan looked at the restaurant waiter, "Do you have anything to say?"
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. I saw someone give Li Si a package. After that person left, Li Si opened it and found a lot of silver inside.”
"Someone gave you money, was it a woman?" Chen Siyuan said, looking at Aunt Zhao kneeling on the ground.
Aunt Zhao was startled, but quickly returned to normal.
"It's a man."
Chen Siyuan smiled, her smile blooming like a poppy. "Then take a look, is the person you mentioned here?" she said, meeting Tao Yifan's gaze.
Tao Yifan now understands clearly that this woman is trying to pin the blame on him after this incident, which is utterly despicable.
I originally wanted to save face for this woman, but now it seems unnecessary.
Chen Xin could no longer remain silent. She immediately stood up, first bowing to everyone present, then looking at Tao Yifan with a shy expression, "Sister, you must be heartbroken by what happened. I understand. Please, sister, don't wrong anyone."
Everyone looked this way, but unexpectedly, the waiter pointed at Song Ji and said, "It's him!"
Everyone was led astray, and even Song Ji didn't notice. When he heard this, he angrily lunged at the waiter, only to be kicked by Wang Li, who had noticed earlier.
Unexpectedly, Song Ji was also a skilled martial artist. He easily dodged the attack and even showed murderous intent towards Wang Li.
Chen Siyuan stared intently at Young Master Tao, "Even a servant of the Tao family is so skilled. I am truly worried."
"What are you trying to say?" Tao Yifan realized that she wanted to smear him.
He's always the one plotting something, but today he's willingly jumped into the trap.
"I have nothing to say, but after what happened today, I know I am not worthy of Young Master Tao. Therefore, the marriage between our two families is hereby called off."
"No!" Aunt Zhao was frightened when she heard this.
She had been planning for so long for her daughter's marriage. If Chen Siyuan ruined it, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
“Sister, that was a marriage agreement arranged by your mother, how can it not stand?” Chen Xin immediately stated.
Chen Siyuan laughed, "It was me who broke off the engagement with Young Master Tao, why are you two more anxious than I am? Aunt Zhao, half-sister?"
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Aunt Zhao and Chen Xin.
