the next day.
I got up early, washed up, and prepared to pick up Qiao Yuchen.
Unexpectedly, Black Hawk rushed in from outside with a letter.
Upon seeing that letter, Chen Siyuan knew it was from Qiao Yuchen.
She was supposed to be back today, but what she found was a letter, and her body began to tremble.
"W-what's wrong?"
Black Hawk approached and handed the letter to Chen Siyuan. "Young Madam?"
"Where is he?" Chen Siyuan began to tremble all over, and Jiang Ma beside her helped her to steady herself.
Black Hawk hesitated for a moment, then looked down, then looked up again, as if he had made up his mind. "Young Madam, you should read the letter first!"
Chen Siyuan felt uneasy. Since Black Hawk didn't say anything, she could only open the letter with trembling hands. It still contained those three words: "I miss you."
In the past, these three words were a symbol of peace for her, but today, she felt extremely uneasy.
Seeing Chen Siyuan's expression, Black Hawk lowered his head even further. "Young Madam, on his way back, Master encountered an attack by the remnants of the enemy forces."
"And then?" Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat. She tried to convince herself that since the person had written to her, it must be nothing serious.
"The master was injured, which delayed his return. The master said... said that the young mistress need not worry."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan burst into tears.
How could she not be worried?
Qiao Yuchen became famous overnight, but he was also injured. If the injury was not serious, it would not have delayed his return.
This is no small matter.
Furthermore, Qiao Yuchen's strategy has always been swift, accurate, and ruthless, giving the opponent no chance to react. This is why Qiao Yuchen became the Ghost-Faced General in his previous life.
Having once been dismissed as indifferent, Chen Siyuan was now extremely worried.
Behind these honors lies the immense blood and tears shed to earn them.
She held the letter in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly.
Later, Chen Siyuan was helped back into the house by Aunt Jiang.
Even as she lay on the bed, her heart was still pounding.
At this moment, she kept thinking about where Qiao Yuchen was injured.
It must be quite serious.
I wonder if this will have any impact on him in the future.
Chen Siyuan spent the whole day in Beiyuan Yanyan and barely ate anything. Chunlan and Chunping were extremely worried. Jiang Ma tried her best to make all kinds of delicious food, but all of it was returned untouched.
For a moment, the entire North Garden fell into an eerie silence.
evening.
Chen Siyuan lay on the step, half asleep, when she suddenly felt a figure appear beside her. She initially thought it was Ruoli, but when she opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her, she thought it was a hallucination.
"you....."
Before she could speak, he pulled her into his arms.
"You...you're really back?" The familiar warmth gradually calmed Chen Siyuan's uneasy heart.
Later, she pushed the man away, looked him over carefully, and asked, "Are you not injured?"
Qiao Yuchen sat beside her, letting the woman look at him carefully. Seeing how anxious and worried she was for him, he had originally planned to come back in a few days, but after hearing about her condition, he worried that she might overthink things, so he risked coming back first.
He spent a lot of time going back and forth, and couldn't stay for too long.
He came this time to put the woman at ease.
He was originally going to say a few words and leave, but when he met the woman's eyes, he restrained himself, pulled her into his arms, and indulged in a passionate verbal exchange.
He only released the woman when her lips were swollen and red.
"I will be leaving soon and will be back with the army in a few days. In the meantime, do not believe anything you hear."
Chen Siyuan was a perceptive person; upon hearing this, she knew that a man should get things done.
Thinking about this, and looking at the man again, she immediately realized that things probably weren't going to turn out well.
She wisely didn't ask any questions, but simply told the man to take good care of himself.
Qiao Yuchen returned and left in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Chen Siyuan was relieved.
After Qiao Yuchen left, she immediately put on her clothes and called out Black Hawk.
This time, he didn't say anything, but simply had Black Hawk stand in front of him, staring intently at him.
Black Hawk felt guilty and dared not say anything.
Chen Siyuan stood for a whole night, while Black Hawk bowed his head and repented for a whole night.
As dawn broke, Chen Siyuan fell ill.
Chunlan, Chunping, and Aunt Jiang got busy as well.
Even the doctor came and said that the anger had affected his heart and that he needed to rest and recuperate.
This matter prompted Madam Qiao to come and visit, and the Fifth Princess also came.
The commotion was a bit loud, and Chen Siyuan felt embarrassed. She had already started faking illness, but she couldn't say it outright.
Chen Siyuan felt somewhat guilty towards the Fifth Princess.
Later, when Qiao Zhen and Aunt Xu arrived, she looked sickly and much more haggard.
After standing all night, it's hard to have any energy.
Qiao Zhen cried bitterly for a while, and was pulled away by Aunt Xu.
This would normally be normal, but the fact that Jiang Manyun was carried there indicates a more serious problem.
Chen Siyuan opened her eyes listlessly and glanced at them a few times, but ignored them.
Knowing that Jiang Manyun was injured, what was she doing here?
Clearly something was wrong, Chen Siyuan didn't want to talk.
She knew it couldn't be anything good, and she didn't want to worry about it.
After Jiang Manyun left, Chen Siyuan thought for a moment and decided to have Wang Li send someone to follow her.
She was thinking that since Qiao Yang and she didn't get along, and Chen Fan could still contact Qiao Yang, and Jiang Manyun was also like Qiao Yang, it was hard to guarantee that Chen Fan wouldn't reach out to Jiang Manyun.
Hopefully, Jiang Manyun is someone who values her life; otherwise, I won't be able to save her this time.
Chen Siyuan was finally able to have some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly, Princess Qiya suddenly arrived.
