After drinking, Qiao Yuchen and Tao Yifan seemed to have let loose.
Tao Yifan abandoned his original seriousness and, like Qiao Yuchen, began to act unconventionally.
However, Tao Yifan is much better than Qiao Yuchen.
Qiao Yuchen never possessed the rigor and dignity typical of scions of noble families; instead, he had a slightly mischievous air about him.
Qiao Yuchen used to be someone everyone avoided, but now the atmosphere has changed.
With Qiao Yuchen's triumphant return, the situation became even more delicate.
Chen Siyuan knew that she also deserved some credit for it.
They all saw Qiao Yuchen's attitude towards them, which was a more crucial reason for their change.
hehe--
When someone appears in a way that is unexpected by everyone, the first reaction is rejection. After observing for a period of time, if this person can turn around in a way that is acceptable to everyone, they will receive everyone's attention. Otherwise, they will be trampled underfoot, leaving you no chance to turn over.
That's human nature.
Chen Siyuan had witnessed the ugliness of human nature in her previous life.
Whether or not I betrayed my country back then, how many people really care? There are too many people just following the crowd.
Death seems to have become a symbol for them to express justice and to demonstrate their patriotism.
That's ridiculous.
Chen Siyuan looked at the two people in front of her, wondering if the outcome would have been different if they had appeared in different ways.
As she watched, Chen Siyuan's thoughts drifted away.
It seems like I'm thinking about the ending of my past life.
In his past life, Qiao Yuchen was a famous masked general, the best weapon to deter disobedient children.
Perhaps because of this, Qiao Yuchen remained single his entire life, and no woman ever appeared in his life, even in his old age.
Tao Yifan.
He supported the Third Prince to sit in that position and was highly valued by the Third Prince. In the end, he ended up spending his days in solitude.
Looking at them now, so many things have changed. I wonder what their fate will be?
Like herself now, she was supposed to be someone who was going to die soon, so how much could her appearance change?
die!
It seems this was the outcome Chen Siyuan had set for herself.
Many things may change, but how many things can truly change fundamentally?
Like Wang Yuyan, she was a palace maid in her previous life, and later married a hypocritical eunuch, which ended badly.
Wang Yuyan is not a palace maid yet, and the things she has experienced are not good.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh.
She wants to change, but how much can she actually change?
The heaviness in her heart made her sigh deeply.
She was unaware that her actions were perceived differently by others.
Qiao Yuchen and Tao Yifan were secretly competing, and after their contest, they discovered that the woman was drinking alone in silence.
The two stopped what they were doing at the same time. Tao Yifan looked at the woman, wanting to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say.
His upbringing taught him that showing concern in front of Qiao Yuchen might not be a good thing for a woman.
His underlying concerns were deeply hurt by Qiao Yuchen's actions.
Qiao Yuchen reached out and took the woman's hand in his own. When she looked over, he smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about so intently?"
That smile is very alluring.
Chen Siyuan watched, slightly mesmerized.
"Am I really that good-looking?" Qiao Yuchen said with a mischievous smile in his eyes, making it even more difficult to look away.
Chen Siyuan was no ordinary woman. "Just how much wealth does your general's mansion actually have?"
He said this very seriously, without the slightest hint of a smile, as if he were saying something extremely solemn.
Qiao Yuchen blinked, looking at the woman in front of him, he was a little taken aback.
If it were a stranger, he would have slapped this woman who dared to flirt with him flying, but she was different; she was so serious, she must not be joking.
Tao Yifan, however, spat out the tea he had just drunk.
The woman he loved was so special that he would never forget her for the rest of his life.
I thought I would give up after she got married, but things didn't turn out that way.
He discovered that the woman was no longer a virgin; he was simply experiencing a period of loss, not forgetting her.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuchen ignored the annoying Tao Yifan; his eyes were only on the woman.
"My mother was preparing Qiao Zhen's dowry today, but she suddenly felt unwell and went back first, leaving me to prepare it. I'm thinking about how much wealth the General's Mansion has and how much dowry we should prepare."
Tao Yifan's smile vanished. He glanced at the woman, his serious expression deeply hurting her.
He suddenly stood up, said nothing, and left in a disheveled state.
Qiao Yuchen was relieved and no longer cared about Tao Yifan's hasty retreat.
What's there to worry about when you've defeated a rival in love?
Everyone in the capital knows that Chen Siyuan is Qiao Yuchen's wife. Given Tao Yifan's cautious nature, how could he possibly kidnap his own wife?
Think about it, I could do something like that myself, but Tao Yifan would never do it in his entire life.
With this in mind, he focused all his attention on women.
"You can decide how much to prepare."
"That won't do."
Chen Siyuan glanced at the man, her eyes filled with annoyance at his lack of seriousness about the matter. "Do you know that Qiao Zhen is from the General's Mansion? If you give her too little, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family."
"Then give me more," he said casually.
"It's too much. What will outsiders think? Those who know will think you're paying out of your own pocket, but those who don't will think the general has embezzled a lot of money over the years."
Qiao Yuchen was stunned by these words.
Is this why women are wandering the streets?
"Alright, leave this to Mrs. Qiao." That woman is too cunning; she actually dumped such a task on my woman.
How did Madam Qiao, who had stayed in the General's Mansion for several years, become such a cunning old fox?
"I don't want my mother to look down on me." Chen Siyuan said, bowing her head. She really loved her mother, and she found the maternal love that she had lacked since childhood in Mrs. Qiao.
Hearing this, Qiao Yuchen was in a difficult position. He felt that Madam Qiao was deliberately making things difficult for his woman, but seeing her expression, he could only offer suggestions.
"How about we just say the extra is mine?"
"Who would believe that?" Chen Siyuan immediately rejected the idea.
"Then don't send too much; just give the usual gifts for the children of officials."
"What if people look down on Qiao Zhen?" She really liked Qiao Zhen and didn't want her to be looked down upon after marrying into the family.
Besides, Qiao Zhen married there as the Third Prince's consort, and there was also Lady Liu, who had given birth to a child and was the future Crown Prince.
Even after that, the rivalry between him and Madam Liu will not stop.
Knowing the final relationship between Qiao Zhen and Madam Liu, one realizes that the events that occurred were no small matter.
The current delicate relationship between Qiao Yuchen and the Third Prince will only complicate matters further.
