Chen Siyuan led them to the place where Qiao Yuchen had been given the antidote.
This place was also her home in her past life with Song Ji, and now she desperately wants to erase the traces of her past here. However, Madam Liu's situation is special now.
She knew Madam Liu's future identity, and if this person turned against her, it would be very disadvantageous for her.
She doesn't regret saving a child under those circumstances.
The child is clean.
After settling them in, Chen Siyuan had Chunlan and Chunping buy them enough ingredients. Just as she was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Siyuan was startled.
He looked at Madam Liu.
Madam Liu looked unwell, and the child seemed frightened, hiding beside her and trembling slightly.
Chen Siyuan knew that this was the most difficult time for Madam Liu. Seeing the child's actions, she knew that they must have gone through a lot of dangers along the way.
He subconsciously looked at Madam Liu and said, "No one should be coming here. Why don't you go inside first, and I'll see if they're looking for me?" This was a very insincere statement.
She was worried that someone was there to silence her, and that rushing in would be suicide.
This is my own place. If the other party comes looking for me, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever.
With this in mind, she had no choice but to step in.
Hopefully, the knocking was well-intentioned.
Arriving at the door, he gestured for Chunlan to open it.
Tao Yifan appeared with a group of people.
Her tense heart suddenly relaxed.
Tao Yifan is the Third Prince's man, and Madam Liu is also the Third Prince's woman.
Tao Yifan's appearance was clearly aimed at Madam Liu; this person was probably there to protect her.
"Miss Chen?" Tao Yifan was slightly taken aback when he saw that it was Chen Siyuan. Thinking of the information he had received, it seemed normal to see Chen Siyuan.
"Young Master Tao, what brings you here?" He knew the answer in his heart, but pretended not to.
"Young Master Tao—" Hearing the noise, Madam Liu quickly came out.
Upon seeing the woman, Tao Yifan immediately bowed and said, "I am late, Madam Liu has been frightened." He had originally left Nancheng for the capital, but received the news halfway there.
The situation was urgent, so he immediately led a small team back at full speed.
Fortunately, the southern part of the city was Tao's territory, making it much easier to find people.
He became extremely nervous when he learned that Chen Siyuan had taken him away.
He didn't know if he would be able to protect that aggressive woman if she offended Madam Liu.
Fortunately, at first glance, the situation didn't seem as bad as I had thought.
Chen Siyuan stood silently to the side until they went inside, and she remained standing outside.
After a while, Chen Siyuan felt that there was nothing more for her to do, so she said to the old woman next to her, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. If you need anything, you can come to the Chen family to find me."
"Thank you, Miss Chen."
Chen Siyuan smiled slightly and left quickly.
She had just left with her two maids when she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her. She pretended not to hear it, and when the hooves came closer, she ducked to the side.
Tao Yifan actually stopped his horse beside him.
Chen Siyuan was forced to look up and glance at the other person, "Young Master Tao."
A smile spread across Tao Yifan's handsome face. "You're planning to walk back?"
"Otherwise what?"
"I can give you a ride."
"No need," Chen Siyuan refused coldly.
Are you scared?
Chen Siyuan laughed; the provocation tactic wouldn't work on her.
"Yes, last time I rode back on one of your Tao family's horses, I was almost drowned in people's gossip."
Tao Yifan raised an eyebrow slightly. If an ordinary woman had this opportunity, she would definitely take the initiative to come over. His good intentions were instead ridiculed.
Having always pursued numerous noble ladies, he couldn't help but glance at this woman a few more times.
That's really interesting.
The last incident caused such a big fuss, and she even called off the engagement right in front of me. After I expressed my opinion, she didn't seem to care and even made it easy for me to propose breaking off the engagement.
On their second meeting, in that situation, he immediately knew what was going on, yet this woman was still able to handle it calmly.
This intelligent woman reminded him of what his grandfather had said.
Perhaps, she is the one who is most suitable.
He concealed the admiration deep in his eyes without a trace, and then smiled and said, "If Miss Chen hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten."
Chen Siyuan looked at the other person but did not speak.
"In that case, I'll go first."
"Please, Young Master Tao."
Tao Yifan glanced at Chen Siyuan, then quickly rode away.
Half of the people who were originally following him stayed behind to protect Madam Liu, while he left with a few others.
They rode away, and the dust they kicked up made Chen Siyuan cough.
"Cough cough—"
"Young Miss, are you alright?"
"Young Miss, how are you?"
"Cough cough—" Chen Siyuan coughed twice more, "It's all because of that troublemaker."
"A scourge?"
"Yes, didn't you see Tao Yifan's behavior? He pretended to be a decent person, but his actions revealed his true colors."
The two maids fell silent.
Even though they were right in front of them, and no one was passing by, they were still worried about being overheard.
On the way back, Chen Siyuan berated Tao Yifan from head to toe. The two maids were worried the whole way. Fortunately, when they arrived at a crowded place, the young lady finally stopped scolding.
They went to the fabric shops, finalized the style of each store, and then prepared to leave.
Wang Li suddenly came looking for him.
Chen Siyuan's expression did not look good when she saw Wang Li.
