Upon seeing the general, Madam Qiao felt reassured and said, "I...our son was poisoned."
These words were clearly directed at Qiao Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked at the woman, his anger almost uncontrollable.
They had been searching for the person who harmed their son, and upon hearing this, they clearly had a lead.
He became furious after hearing what his wife said.
He was a man and knew the importance of the matter, so he personally escorted the woman back to the general's mansion and then left under the cover of night.
When Chen Siyuan returned, she saw General Qiao riding away.
Seeing General Qiao's rapid speed must not be a good thing.
Hopefully, this has nothing to do with Qiao Yuchen.
The carriage stopped, and Chunping helped the young mistress down from the carriage.
They went to the Su family's house, but they never expected this outcome.
It turns out that Chen Xin had been living at Su Wen's house all this time, and their relationship had warmed up. If Chen Xin hadn't suddenly left, they might have already gotten married.
Back in Beiyuan, Chen Siyuan didn't need confirmation to prove that what Jiang Manyun said was indeed true.
Chen Xin was a woman that Marquis De'an brought back from outside.
Wang Li followed the man to the Marquis of De'an's residence. He went in to investigate, but encountered Su Wen.
What was Su Wen investigating? In order not to alert Wang Li, Su Wen had no choice but to take action against him after this encounter.
I've seen Wang Li's injuries myself; they're all superficial and won't be life-threatening.
This confirms Su Wen's statement.
But what exactly are they doing?
Su Wen didn't mention the matter and reminded himself not to touch it.
Chen Siyuan suddenly realized that this might be the rhythm of a reshuffling.
Many important events take place long before they happen; what people hear about are the results after the events have concluded.
What was originally intended as a reminder to Su Wen has now turned into the opposite.
Back in Beiyuan, I washed up and quickly lay down.
Chen Siyuan didn't sleep well that night, and had a series of nightmares.
The next day, I woke up.
Chen Siyuan heard that the Marquis of De'an's residence had been attacked last night, and that the Marquis of De'an had been stabbed multiple times and was now in critical condition.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Siyuan was somewhat taken aback.
What exactly happened?
Who made the move?
Could it be Su Wen?
He developed feelings for Chen Xin and, out of jealousy, wanted to kill Marquis De'an. However, due to poor planning, he only ended up leaving Chen Xin's fate uncertain.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan also thought of General Qiao, who was leaving in a hurry.
Then there's Qiao Yuchen.
Who did it?
Chen Siyuan was uncertain for a long time; everyone was a suspect.
While waiting quietly, I heard about several important events.
The Fifth Princess was attacked, but fortunately, she was protected by skilled guards and was out of danger.
Jiang Manyun was attacked and died on the spot while in her hospital.
Wang Shangshu's wife was poisoned to death by one of his concubines.
Upon hearing the news, Madam Qiao fainted from crying. After waking up, she immediately rushed to Minister Wang's residence.
Upon hearing this news, Consort Qing, who was in the palace, was overwhelmed with shock. After recovering, she immediately rushed to Minister Wang's residence.
Madam Jiang had just lost her daughter, and now her mother had also passed away. She immediately followed the news to Minister Wang's residence.
After handling Lady Wang's funeral arrangements, Minister Wang immediately requested to resign from his post.
The Emperor granted his permission.
Just at that moment, the Third Prince fell off his horse and broke his leg while riding to the morning court.
Qi Hong, the eldest daughter of the Prince Qi's mansion, accidentally fell into her own pond. When she was found and rescued, she was out of danger, but her personality changed drastically.
This was originally outside Chen Siyuan's scope of attention. She had no contact with the Prince Qi's Mansion, this prince from another family, but Wang Li brought in news from all over the capital.
It's like the restaurant owner accidentally fell down the stairs, landing headfirst, and died just like that.
And that child, who got separated from his mother on the road, was never found again.
So many things happened in the capital in a short time, big and small. Every day, Wang Li would organize them, list them on a piece of paper, and send them to Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan was speechless; she had seen through the sincerity of those people.
At this time, Chen Xin, who was originally by the side of Marquis De'an, suddenly disappeared.
This piqued Chen Siyuan's interest.
Does Chen Xin really want to be a plaything, letting men have their fun?
Clearly, Chen Siyuan didn't think so; she felt that not finding Chen Xin would be bad for her.
Now all the people I resent have settled in the capital, and their identities are all things to be wary of.
Chen Fan, who served Consort Hua, became a first-class grand eunuch. As Consort Hua's status in the palace continued to rise, Chen Fan's status also rose accordingly.
More importantly, Chen Fan's reach has extended too far, resulting in greater power and putting himself in greater danger.
Chen Xin, needless to say, is hiding somewhere and is no easy task either.
The last one is Song Ji, who has become the deputy commander of the West Depot. Now his identity has also secured him a foothold in the capital. Just thinking about this gives Chen Siyuan a headache. Why are all her enemies getting good identities?
That day, Chen Siyuan thought it best if they all died, only then would her surroundings be clean.
Two days later, coincidentally, someone discovered that Chen Fan was not a eunuch. Once this was discovered, and given that he was serving Consort Hua, the matter was blown out of proportion.
As a result, Consort Hua's status was also damaged. Consort Hua severely punished Chen Fan on the spot. In the end, the matter alarmed the Emperor, who directly dispatched the Western Depot. As a result, a day later, Chen Fan committed suicide in the Western Depot out of fear of punishment.
