Chen Siyuan followed the old woman into the teahouse and immediately spotted a woman in her thirties sitting inside.
Suddenly, I was startled.
What's this person doing here?
She looked much younger and more disheveled than when she first saw her from afar, but she wouldn't mistake her for someone else.
Struggling to suppress the shock in her heart, she addressed the other person, saying, "Siyuan greets Madam."
The woman was dressed plainly, but she was very beautiful and her face was somewhat pale. Her identity could not be denied.
If it weren't for her memories from her past life, if she hadn't gone to Kyoto with Song Ji, and if she hadn't attended several banquets, she wouldn't have known how powerful and influential this seemingly down-on-her-luck woman would become in Kyoto two years later, or how many people would die at her hands.
She never imagined that the child she saved would have such a background.
His mind was in turmoil, and he reminded himself to be careful around this woman, but on the surface he maintained a calm demeanor.
The woman looked at the newcomer, a pretty young girl, but more importantly, her eyes seemed to keep people at a distance.
He must be someone with a story.
Thinking back, if it weren't for this woman protecting him, his son would have been gone long ago.
Without her son, she had no future to rely on.
It can be said that she not only saved her son, but also herself and her entire family.
"Miss Chen, there's no need for such formalities. I'm here today specifically to thank you properly." The woman said as she stood up, and the old woman immediately came over to help her. "Miss Chen, let's talk in private for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan glanced at Chunlan and Chunping to stop them, and followed the woman upstairs.
Chen Siyuan felt unlucky, as she kept running into important figures in the capital, each encounter more dangerous than the last.
The woman in front of me was probably at her lowest point, so helping her now would be a good thing for me.
Considering where this woman ended up and her style of doing things, Chen Siyuan didn't want to get too close to her.
Who would have thought that the child they saved was actually this person's child?
A sudden image flashed into my mind, so shocking that I forgot I was on the steps. I lost my footing and almost tumbled down the stairs. The woman next to me noticed in time and reached out to pull me back from the fall.
"Miss Chen, are you alright?"
Looking at the woman in front of her, Chen Siyuan seemed to instinctively speak, as if it were a habit from a past life, "I was frightened by Madam."
The old woman was instantly dissatisfied, because the woman beside her showed her dissatisfaction on her face.
The woman paused for a moment, then quickly pulled Chen Siyuan upstairs.
After being led to a seat, Chen Siyuan seemed not to have recovered yet, standing beside her and carefully observing the other person.
"What do you mean by staring at me, Miss Chen?" The woman seemed reluctant to speak, but Chen Siyuan's gaze piqued her interest in talking.
"I always felt that the lady was no ordinary person."
The woman and the old woman beside her both changed their expressions, their eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent as they stared at Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan saw it and was shocked. Looking at the woman, she showed her shock directly on her face.
"oh?"
"I always felt that Madam was of inestimable nobility. Perhaps it's because I've been staying in the South City for too long and haven't seen any important figures. When I suddenly saw Madam, I was so frightened that I almost fell down the stairs."
"Hehe—" the woman laughed.
"I wonder what Miss Chen means by that?" the old woman asked.
Chen Siyuan carefully examined the woman before her, recalling a rumor from her past life about giving this woman a legitimate and noble status.
When she heard those things she knew weren't true, things she had unintentionally said, she could only continue making things up.
"I don't know." Chen Siyuan shook her head, looking very conflicted. "Just now, I seemed to see two golden wings on the back of the lady, like... phoenix wings..." As she spoke, Chen Siyuan immediately covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
"Miss Chen must have been frightened that day and hasn't recovered yet."
"I think so!" Chen Siyuan seemed unsure.
“Miss Chen, there’s no need to be so formal. I’m here today to thank you properly.” He took off a bracelet from his wrist. “This is a thank-you gift for Miss Chen.”
"No, no, no," Chen Siyuan quickly waved her hands, "Madam, you mustn't do this, I just... I just..."
"They all call me Mrs. Liu."
Mrs. Liu.
Chen Siyuan was startled.
It really was her.
At this moment, Madam Liu put the bracelet on Chen Siyuan's wrist.
Chen Siyuan realized she wanted to take it down, but then she heard Madam Liu say, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask Miss Chen for help with."
Chen Siyuan paused slightly as she took the table off her hands, then looked at Madam Liu. Based on her current attire and the rumors from her past life, she knew what was going on.
She didn't want to get involved with this person, didn't want to get close to him, and didn't want to take any risks. Now it seems she's already on a sinking ship and can't get off.
"Mrs. Liu, what do you say?"
"I am passing through this area. My child has been frightened and may need to stay for a while. I am not familiar with the southern part of the city, so I would like to ask Miss Chen to help me find a suitable place for him to stay for a few days."
As soon as Madam Liu finished speaking, the old woman next to her immediately took out a silver note and handed it over.
Chen Siyuan looked at the silver notes in front of her, wondering whether to accept them or not.
