Chen Siyuan's face paled, and she hurriedly ran outside.
Under normal circumstances, this matter would be easy to handle. But now that the courtyard has just been given to Madam Liu to live in, and such a commotion has arisen, what will happen then...?
Thinking of this, she felt even more frightened. The situation was urgent, and she didn't know who to consult with. Just as she ran out of the Chen family, Chen Luyang rode up from outside.
"Sister, what's wrong...?" Chen Luyang saw that his sister looked unwell, so he quickly dismounted and asked with concern.
Without much thought, Chen Siyuan approached, mounted her horse, and said, "Brother, can I borrow your horse?"
"Where are you going?" Chen Luyang noticed his sister's pale face and wanted to catch up with her, but he didn't expect her to be such a good horse rider. She quickly disappeared from sight.
"What happened?" Chen Luyang asked, pulling Chunlan aside.
Chunlan didn't dare delay and immediately told them what had happened.
She only said that someone stole the land deeds of the estate to sell, without mentioning that anyone lived there.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan rode her horse swiftly through the bustling city and headed straight for the Tao family.
She thought that Tao Yifan was the most suitable person to ask for help with this matter.
Fortunately, Tao Yifan was out when she arrived at the Tao family's house. She nimbly jumped off her horse and went to Tao Yifan's side.
"I have something important to tell you."
Tao Yifan was in a hurry to leave and didn't want to waste time. "Miss Chen, I have something to attend to, you..."
"It's related to the lady."
Tao Yifan, who was in a hurry to leave, stopped and looked at Chen Siyuan.
"Someone stole the land deed to my estate to buy it."
Tao Yifan's expression changed; things had gone wrong.
He glanced at her, and soon someone came with a horse. He mounted the horse and galloped away.
Cough cough—
Unfortunately, Chen Siyuan once again ended up with a mouthful of dirt.
"Damn Tao Yifan, next time I'll tie you to a horse's butt and make you suffer enough."
Tao Yifan, who was galloping away on horseback, heard the woman's voice, glanced back, and quickly left.
Chen Siyuan was terrified. Now that the matter was resolved, she relaxed. Now it was time to find out who had stolen her land deed.
She felt that the person who had been losing things one after another in the past few days should be severely punished.
When I returned to the Chen family home, all I saw was a chaotic mess.
When Chunlan and Chunping saw the young lady return, they both cried.
Chen Luyang and Madam Chen were very worried when they learned that someone had stolen the estate's land deed. Chen Siyuan had also left and they didn't know where she had gone. They were extremely worried.
Fortunately, Chen Siyuan returned unharmed. They breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to severely punish the perpetrator.
Soon, all members of the Chen family were gathered together.
At this point, everyone knew that Chen Siyuan had lost her valuable jewelry and the house deed.
This was no small matter; everyone stood in the courtyard, trembling with fear.
They were worried that misfortune would befall them, and that their lives would be over.
Chen Luyang and Madam Chen stood aside, leaving the matter to Chen Siyuan to handle.
Recently, things at Chen Siyuan's residence have been handled very well. Since Chen Siyuan's things have gone missing again, they felt that letting her handle it was their way of making a statement and also to show everyone present.
Chen Siyuan is the eldest daughter of the Chen family. If she can manage the Chen family well, she can naturally manage another family well.
Unexpectedly, Chen Siyuan didn't seem to think that way.
Chen Siyuan stood on the steps, looking at everyone present. Because of the beating she had received not long ago, she remembered everyone's face.
"Siyuan, just tell me what you've decided to do. Grandmother will listen to you," the old lady said from the side.
"Thank you, Grandmother." Chen Siyuan was grateful to her grandmother. She knew that her grandmother wanted her to establish her authority. She already knew who did it, and gathering so many people today was just a formality.
Thinking about it, he looked at his grandmother, then at his eldest brother, and his gaze fell on everyone again.
She could clearly feel a collective gasp of breath wherever her gaze fell.
“I think you all know why we’ve gathered you here today,” Chen Siyuan said, pausing slightly. “I’ve lost a treasure from my room. Anyone who knows anything or has seen anything can tell Butler Cheng. Once it’s confirmed, I will reward the person who provides the clue. Once it’s determined who stole my things, I will report it to the authorities immediately.”
A collective gasp filled the air.
Old Madam Chen and Chen Luyang were waiting for Chen Siyuan to say something when they saw her come to them.
"Grandmother, eldest brother, what do you think?"
"Are you sure?" the old lady asked.
This is something the Chen family can handle directly; there's no need to involve the authorities.
"Yes." Chen Siyuan didn't want anyone to take advantage of the situation. She was actually worried that with so many important things happening around her and big shots arriving in Nancheng one after another, if she wasn't careful, it might implicate the entire Chen family. Once the matter was reported to the authorities, the subsequent handling of the matter would be much simpler.
She didn't know who was behind Chen Xin in Beijing, and she was worried that if the person behind Chen Xin found out and took action, it would implicate the entire Chen family.
Having committed enough sins in her past life, this time she wants to be upright and honest, at least ensuring that the people she cares about don't die because of her.
"What do you think?" Old Madam Chen looked at Chen Luyang.
"I believe in my sister."
Chen Siyuan smiled, but her eyes reddened. Her older brother's unconditional trust in her might be harming her.
The matter passed quickly. Chen Siyuan and Chen Luyang escorted their grandmother back to her summer residence, leaving the rest to Butler Cheng.
After sending Madam Chen back home, when Chen Siyuan and Chen Luyang returned to their own courtyard, Chen Luyang couldn't help but speak up.
