When Chen Siyuan arrived on the street, the news of the victory had already reached everyone's ears. Qiao Yuchen had truly become famous overnight. News of Qiao Yuchen's hand injury had also spread. It seemed that everyone was more concerned about the news of the victory and didn't care much about Qiao Yuchen, whether because they shared the same confidence or because they had other thoughts.
When we arrived at the fabric shop on Nanguan Street, the eldest brother and Yan Yi were there.
After going inside, Chen Luyang pulled her into the backyard.
"Big brother?" Chen Siyuan saw that her brother looked so nervous. Had something happened?
"I heard about Qiao Yuchen's situation. Are you alright?" He hadn't seen his sister for a long time and was worried, but he couldn't just rush to the General's Mansion.
Fortunately, seeing that his sister seemed to be alright, he was relieved.
"It's alright, I believe in the saying that evil people live for a thousand years."
"Pfft—" Yan Yi wasn't eavesdropping; she couldn't help but laugh when she heard a woman talking about her husband like that.
After getting to know her, I discovered that Chen Siyuan is a very insightful and open-minded person.
Despite being the young mistress of a general's mansion, and now being granted the title of First-Rank High-Rank Lady, she has always been working hard.
Seeing her busy schedule, I felt like I was seeing myself in her.
"Facial expressions—" Chen Siyan walked over, "So, are you comfortable with my shop?"
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan had a broad vision and a grand perspective, which she admired.
"Don't worry, we're cooperating, and I would never betray my allies."
“Okay.” Yan Yi nodded. After cooperating with Chen Siyuan, they would have funds and wouldn’t be in such a passive position.
"I've thought about it. The fabric you have can be delivered here in batches through different channels. Don't worry, I can pay half of the deposit, and settle the rest immediately upon delivery."
Unlike the Feather Clan, Yan Yi, as the clan leader, still possesses such charisma.
After finalizing the collaboration, we went to a restaurant to have a drink together.
Chen Luyang was practically rendered useless; it was mostly Chen Siyuan and Yan Yi who were talking. Suddenly, Chen Siyuan saw a familiar figure walk by.
Chen Siyuan pretended to go wash her hands and immediately followed.
She followed the other party to the backyard, and when she saw Madam Liu dressed in a gorgeous dress, her eyes reddened.
"Mrs. Liu?"
Madam Liu seemed to be waiting for Chen Siyuan as well. Hearing the noise, she turned around, smiled slightly, and then pushed open a door next door and went inside.
Chen Siyuan followed her inside.
“Madam Liu—” Chen Siyuan looked around Madam Liu carefully and confirmed that she was much better than when she first met her in Nancheng.
Madam Liu knelt on the ground with a thud.
Chen Siyuan was startled; she didn't have the guts to kneel before the future empress.
Madam Liu insisted on not getting up, saying, "Miss Chen, if it weren't for you, how would Zhen'er and I have had the chance to live?"
Seeing that she couldn't pull him up, Chen Siyuan had no choice but to kneel down as well. "Madam Liu, it's all in the past. I believe your future will be brighter and brighter."
They're all empresses, how could they be bad?
"Thank you, Miss Chen."
Taking the opportunity, Chen Siyuan helped Madam Liu to her feet, and the two sat down and began to talk. Chen Siyuan was cautious, as Madam Liu and Shang Zizhen's identities were not yet public, so she couldn't be too explicit. Most of the conversation revolved around Shang Zizhen. Later, when she heard that Shang Zizhen was doing well and missed her as her older sister, Chen Siyuan smiled.
The two women talked for a long time. Later, when Madam Liu was leaving, she looked at Chen Siyuan as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Chen Siyuan knew that their current situation was somewhat awkward. In the end, Madam Liu promised that she would do her best to help and would definitely not let Qiao Yuchen get into trouble.
Chen Siyuan saw Madam Liu off.
She was constantly on edge, wondering if someone was trying to harm Qiao Yuchen.
Also, Mrs. Qiao seemed to have deliberately passed by my room earlier, and now she's going straight out again. Could it be...?
Back at the dinner table, Chen Siyuan had little appetite and ate very little, but drank quite a bit. Once she got into the carriage, drunk, she immediately sobered up.
Through the gap in the open carriage chain, she saw some people following at a distance behind the carriage.
Chen Siyuan gently tapped the carriage wall with her hand, and soon she heard the hooting of an owl outside, which reassured her.
Back in the North Garden of the General's Mansion, Chen Siyuan washed up and waited quietly.
Chunlan and Chunping quietly served by her side.
It wasn't until midnight that Wang Li returned, injured. Chen Siyuan immediately went up to him and asked, "What happened?"
"Young Madam, that person eventually entered the Marquis of De'an's residence."
As expected, Jiang Manyun is a leopard that can't change its spots.
She sent people to follow me even though I didn't agree to her request, and it happened while I was drunk, which was obviously not a good thing.
Since that's the case, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
She never showed mercy to her enemies, nor was she ever threatened.
He thought he could threaten her with the things about Ping'an Temple, but he forgot that he could threaten Jiang Manyun as well.
Consort Qing and Princess Honglian were implicated because of this incident, and if Consort Qing finds out, she will certainly not fare well.
"How did you get injured?" Chen Siyuan's mind raced.
She felt that given Jiang Manyun's strength, she shouldn't be able to harm Wang Li.
"It's Su Wen." Wang Li didn't hide anything from the young mistress and said it directly.
Chen Siyuan was shocked to hear this.
Chunlan and Chunping have already begun bandaging Wang Li.
Knowing that Wang Li's constitution was different, they still didn't want to let the wound bleed.
Su Wen, I haven't paid attention to this person for a long time. The first time I met Su Wen after my rebirth was when I was arrested and imprisoned.
A lot happened that time, and it was because of Su Wen that I was able to survive until now.
Even now, Chen Siyuan is still grateful. Su Wen injured Wang Li, which is no simple matter.
The Su Wen she remembered was not like that. Moreover, he was in his prime, and judging by the time, he should be investigating a major case.
Could it be related to the Marquis of De'an's residence?
That's unlikely.
Chen Siyuan decided to go see Su Wen.
If it's true, she will avenge Wang Li. If there's some misunderstanding, she will remind him to avoid recent cases.
Chen Siyuan was a woman of action. After settling Wang Li in, she took Chunping with her, but Wang Li stopped her and insisted on coming along. So Chen Siyuan left Chunlan and Jiang Ma in Beiyuan and took Wang Li and Chunping to see what was going on.
......
West Garden.
It was already late, and Madam Qiao was about to go to sleep when suddenly, Zhang Ma ran in with a sachet in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ma had been with her for many years and had never seen her so flustered.
"Madam, Madam, look at this?" Zhang Ma said, carefully presenting the sachet to Madam Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao was stunned at first glance.
This...this is...
Familiar memories flooded my mind all at once, bursting forth from my heart that I had tried so hard to suppress.
This was because it was one of his son Qiao Zhen's favorite items at the time.
