Qiao Yuchen was completely dumbfounded.
He watched the charming figure walking and eating, completely oblivious to any sense of propriety, and then glanced at the handkerchief in his hand.
"interesting!"
He came to Nancheng once and met such an interesting woman. What's even stranger is that he actually developed feelings for her. It's really quite interesting.
As he drank, he looked at the handkerchief in his hand and thought about all the times he had encountered this woman.
"Master." Wang Yong rushed over and knelt before Qiao Yuchen.
"Speak." My good mood was interrupted, and I felt annoyed, finding fault with everyone.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Tao Yifan has returned to the capital."
Qiao Yuchen's expression changed instantly, and he sneered, "He's quick on his way. He's gone to the capital, but he's not afraid of not coming back alive."
Wang Yong lowered his head, not daring to speak.
If it were before, he would know why his master had targeted Tao Yifan. Now, isn't it because of the engagement between Chen Siyuan and Tao Yifan?
"Has that person been caught yet?"
"We still have no clue." Wang Yong lowered his head again.
"You bastard, you took my things!" Qiao Yuchen thought of the time he was poisoned, and he was filled with hatred. He was always the one who attacked others, but who would have thought that he almost lost his life that time.
Then, thinking about how she met Chen Siyuan because of the poisoning, she didn't think he was so hateful.
"Reporting to Master, the person has not yet been captured, but his behavior is strange and he does not seem to be from the Shang Kingdom."
Qiao Yuchen's bright black eyes narrowed little by little.
“I want to capture them alive,” he said, emphasizing each word.
"Yes, Master!" Wang Yong's heart trembled slightly.
"Any news from the Seventh Prince's side?"
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince requests that you return to the capital as soon as possible."
“Hehe—” Qiao Yuchen’s eyes flashed.
The Seventh Prince is cunning. Now that the Third and Fourth Princes are making frequent moves, and the Old Emperor is also experiencing frequent health problems, it seems that the time for them to compete will come soon.
"Tao Yifan will continue to send people to keep an eye on things, and if necessary, send the Third Prince's cousin over there."
"yes."
Wang Yong responded and left. Once outside the door, his heart sank again. Could it be that his master didn't do it on purpose?
"Yang Lei?"
"Master." Yang Lei, who was standing at the door, came in from outside.
He and Wang Yong were Qiao Yuchen's attendants, following him wherever he went.
Wang Yong is in the open, while Yang Lei is in the shadows.
Qiao Yuchen looked at the handkerchief in his hand. "You stay here and protect her."
she?
It should be Chen Siyuan.
As Qiao Yuchen's shadow, how could he follow behind a woman?
A man should have ambitions beyond his hometown; if he follows a woman around, wouldn't he be ruining his life?
The capital is in complete chaos right now. As the strategist of the Seventh Prince, why did you leave me here at this crucial moment?
"Hmm?" Qiao Yuchen's face darkened, and a murderous aura suddenly appeared on his body.
Yang Lei shuddered. Reluctantly, he accepted the order and left.
Qiao Yuchen looked at the handkerchief, his shimmering black eyes slowly narrowing.
Such an interesting girl, if I don't keep her by my side, others will have their eyes on her and I'll feel unhappy. If I don't have someone keep an eye on her, what if she becomes someone else's target after I leave?
......
Achoo—
As soon as Chen Siyuan entered the Chen family home, she sneezed without warning.
"Young Miss, have you caught a cold?"
Chen Siyuan rubbed her nose, unconcerned. "Maybe someone is thinking of me!"
"Young Miss!" Chunping stomped her foot in anger.
She's genuinely worried, okay? What does the young lady mean by that?
“Sister—” Chen Luyang returned from outside, looking travel-worn.
I saw Chen Siyuan's back as soon as I entered the door.
He's been quite busy lately. He started harvesting grain, and the farmers were overjoyed. During this time, he's been working non-stop, returning home late at night and leaving again before dawn.
Today, Butler Cheng came to see me, saying that we were having dinner at my sister's courtyard and that I shouldn't be late.
That's why he was able to come back early.
"Big brother—" Chen Siyuan turned around and saw her older brother's face. She smiled instantly and stood there waiting for him to come over.
During this time, he couldn't help but tease Chunping, "I told you so, didn't I? It's because my older brother misses me."
Chunping remained silent.
She didn't want to say anything; whatever the young lady said was law.
"Little sister, did you just get back?" Chen Luyang walked over, and when he saw the pastries in his sister's hand, his eyes showed a hint of doting, but more so a sense of helplessness. "I heard that your embroidery skills are quite good now."
"It's alright. I'll embroider a purse for my brother another day." Chen Siyuan's embroidery skills were really good. Since her rebirth, she hadn't had time to do this, and she had entrusted Chunlan and Chunping with the task of making her spare handkerchiefs.
"good."
The two siblings walked inside together. As they walked, Chen Luyang spoke up, "Sister, the grain harvest in the entire southern city is almost complete. Can we stop now?" During this period, he had been constantly harvesting grain and had been met with the same kinds of ridicule.
They all felt they were foolish to buy grain at this time. Weren't they worried about going bankrupt?
He was worried about that too.
So much money was spent on buying grain.
If they can't be sold, they'll all be stuck with the grain when it comes back next year.
Not only that, but the grain will take too long to prepare, which will make things difficult later on.
"If you don't have any money, I'll give you some more. Make sure you collect as much as you can. Also, we need to find a higher place for the granary; it'll be safer that way."
"Alright!" Chen Luyang felt something was amiss, but since his sister insisted, he didn't say anything more.
"How's the cotton situation going, brother?"
