"Congratulations, Madam First Rank!" Chen Xin approached and bowed to Chen Siyuan.
Mrs. Qiao looked over and gestured with her eyes to indicate who this person was.
"Mother, this is Chen Xin. She was adopted by my father for a period of time." Chen Siyuan said this boldly and directly, making their relationship public and giving no one a chance to stir up trouble.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao had nothing to worry about. She took Chen Siyuan's hand and patted it a few times.
"Have fun, then go find Yu Chen later."
“Okay.” Chen Siyuan knew what her mother meant; it was simply that if anything happened, Qiao Yuchen could take care of things for her.
Chen Siyuan watched Madam Qiao leave, then met Chen Xin's fiery eyes. "What? The plan fell through? Are you angry because you're embarrassed?"
"Chen Siyuan, don't be so smug!"
"I'm not proud, I'm just happy."
Having learned from what Mrs. Qiao had just said, she felt confident and accepted everyone who came her way.
Chen Xin laughed, a very cold laugh, "Chen Siyuan, you're so pitiful!"
"Yes, I feel sorry for him too!" Chen Siyuan knew what Chen Xin really meant, but he just didn't want to let this person be smug.
Looking at everything that happened in the past, and then at the present, this must be retribution!
Aunt Zhao is dead, Chen Fan is dead, only Chen Xin is left, what does she have to be afraid of?
Now Chen Siyuan finally understands why Chen Xin was able to gain a foothold in Beijing so easily and target her at every turn.
hehe……
They can't stand seeing others do well.
What can Chen Xin do now? She has returned to the Qi Prince's mansion, but she is still not recognized. Looking at her wearing shabby clothes, she must have had a hard time there. Today, she was able to get ahead, but she just happened to run into me.
Ha ha!
Even the Third Prince doesn't have the glory she's enjoying right now!
What right does a mere child born outside the Qi Prince's mansion have to compete with her?
"Chen Xin, just tell me, what exactly do you want from me?" Chen Siyuan didn't want to play games with Chen Xin; it was better to be direct.
I have too many things to do; there's no need to focus my attention on Chen Xin alone.
"You're still so annoying!" Chen Xin gritted his teeth.
Why is she in such a sorry state today? Why is Chen Siyuan so high and mighty, not only becoming a first-rank imperial lady but also receiving fine wine bestowed by the emperor?
I'm not reconciled!
She's going to fight back!
She wanted to crush Chen Siyuan under her feet and watch her linger on the verge of death.
He wanted to watch Chen Siyuan being trampled underfoot by everyone, sinking into the mud, just like he was now.
Chen Siyuan glanced at Chen Xin, seeing no need to continue the conversation.
As he turned to leave, Chen Xin suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Watch out for Princess Qiya!"
"..." Chen Siyuan stared at Chen Xin, not knowing what she meant by those words.
Chen Xin left just like that.
It seems they came here just to say that.
As Chen Siyuan watched Chen Xin's retreating figure, she saw Chen Xin's desolation.
Chen Siyuan knew even better that Chen Xin did not deserve sympathy.
She was able to approach Su Wen for ulterior motives and use her beauty to bewitch Marquis De'an. Such a woman with courage and determination will eventually achieve great things.
The images and thoughts that had flashed through Chen Siyuan's mind before resurfaced; she wanted to stop Chen Xin from turning the tables.
Chen Fan is a prime example.
Chen Fan's incident gave Chen Siyuan some breathing room, but she remembered that Chen Fan died at the hands of the West Depot. Was there some unspeakable secret behind it?
Chen Fan is the first-class eunuch by Consort Hua's side, and the Western Depot is personally controlled by the Emperor. Could it be that something happened between Consort Hua and the Emperor?
On such an important day, it's quite unreasonable that neither Consort Hua nor the Empress Dowager have arrived.
Looking at everyone at the banquet again, Chen Siyuan smiled once more.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own; wherever there are people, there will never be a shortage of right and wrong.
Others only see the glamorous side, but they don't know how many conspiracies and schemes, and how many dirty things that can't be brought to the table happen behind the scenes!
As she pondered, Chen Siyuan sighed inwardly, realizing that she was one of them and how could she possibly escape the entanglements of right and wrong!
After Chen Xin left, Princess Qi Ya quickly arrived. Looking at the arrogant princess in front of her, she was still speechless!
Am I really that weak?
One by one, they came up to me to remind me of my presence!
At this moment, Chen Siyuan broke her silence and spoke first, just as Princess Qiya began to speak.
"The princess has really changed a lot lately; I hardly recognize her anymore."
Princess Qiya looked at Chen Siyuan, her eyes filled with anger and jealousy.
"You're also interested in my Qiao Yuchen, aren't you?" Chen Siyuan asked, her eyes fixed on him.
She always felt that Princess Qiya should be hostile towards her, but she wasn't the real Princess Qiya; the way she looked at Qiao Yuchen was clearly affectionate.
The thought resurfaced in my mind.
There was only one woman in the capital who was so persistently in love with Qiao Yuchen, and that was the deceased Princess Honglian.
"You're right," Princess Qiya affirmed Chen Siyuan's words.
"Princess, I wonder if you've settled in well during this time?"
"I'll be more at ease without you."
Princess Qi Ya and Chen Siyuan stopped being polite and said directly, "If you leave Qiao Yuchen now, I'll leave you with a whole corpse; otherwise, I'll make you know what regret means."
"The princess used my elder brother to warn me?" Chen Siyuan stared into Princess Qiya's eyes, trying to get an answer from them.
"You're not too stupid!"
"The princess has such a forthright personality!" Chen Siyuan was surprised that she admitted it so quickly.
Although she kept calling her "princess," the other party didn't react at all, which further confirmed Chen Siyuan's thoughts.
Chen Siyuan wouldn't say these words now; she would keep them deep in her heart and deliver a fatal blow to the other party at the most crucial moment!
At this moment, Chen Siyuan was deeply shocked. How did Princess Honglian manage to deceive everyone and become Princess Qiya? And what about Granny Xu standing not far behind her? She had seen Granny Xu and Princess Honglian interacting at a palace banquet. Did it start back then?
Was what happened at Heian Temple part of their plan?
With many questions weighing on her mind, Chen Siyuan neither sought answers nor asked the people in front of her for advice; she would simply investigate slowly.
Some things may seem to be in the past, but Chen Siyuan will never forget the painful lessons. Many things are best experienced once, but if she experiences them a second time, she will kill everyone.
I'll take all these hardships with me!
"Aren't you curious why the Emperor bestowed wine upon you?"
"I know." Chen Siyuan didn't understand, and she wouldn't show it at this moment.
“His Majesty is a wise ruler, able to distinguish right from wrong at a glance.” Chen Siyuan said, looking at Princess Qiya. “I think the princess understands this best, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a princess, would there?”
