Chen Siyuan ate at the Chen family's house as if nothing had happened, then got into a carriage and headed to the General's Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Siyuan thought about what her elder brother had said.
Her heart remained restless for a long time.
Someone really died.
He was a high-ranking official.
Could it be that Father really was involved in this struggle for the throne?
Thinking about this, she was a little worried. She wanted to see her father, but she didn't know how to contact him. Chen Luyang also had no idea about this.
It seems that only if the father takes the initiative to come back and speak can they remain anxious.
While she was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Chen Siyuan didn't pay attention until someone sat down next to her, at which point she saw Wen Kai had gotten into the carriage.
"Big cousin?" Why did he suddenly show up?
"This isn't the place to talk," Wen Kai said, sounding somewhat anxious, without uttering a word.
Soon, Chen Siyuan realized, without even looking outside, that this wasn't the way back to the General's Mansion.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Wen Kai got off the carriage first, and Chen Siyuan followed. They looked around and found that it was a small courtyard.
She didn't know why Wen Kai had brought her to this place, but since he was her cousin, she felt at ease.
After getting off the carriage and entering the courtyard, I found that my second cousin Wentao and third cousin Wenxuan were there.
What's going on?
Seeing their serious expressions, she felt a sudden unease, a sense that something was amiss.
"Let's go inside and talk." Wen Kai was the leader, and his words carried weight.
None of them spoke, and they followed them into the house.
Once inside, a maid was busy at work. Chen Siyuan glanced at her and felt that she looked familiar. She instinctively assumed that she was a maid from the Wen family and didn't pay much attention to her.
After they sat down, the maidservants brought tea to each of them and then quickly left.
Seeing that they were all silent, Chen Siyuan asked, "Big cousin, what's on your mind? Just say it."
She was about to break down from this constant dullness.
"How much do you know about your father?" Wenxuan asked.
Chen Siyuan was stunned. She was completely confused. Hearing this, could it be that her father was really related to the murder case?
Her heart was pounding.
“I don’t know much. Since my father came to the capital, he rarely stays at home. He visited my grandmother a few days ago and left quickly.” Chen Siyuan’s mood became heavy as she spoke. “The Dali Temple said that my father is involved in a case?” she said, lowering her head.
"Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue was killed. The last person he saw was your father." Wenxuan also met several people because of this imperial examination. He thought that with the palace examination approaching, he met them during his several trips to study, and they have been discussing things together recently.
Knowing that Chen Zhaokun was Chen Siyuan's father, and also knowing that the people from the Dali Temple had gone to the Chen family, they became worried.
Just then, rumors spread that Chen Siyuan was a miracle doctor, which they found unsettling.
They didn't understand what was going on, but they were worried about Chen Siyuan's safety.
They felt there was something fishy about this, but couldn't quite put their finger on it. They were quite worried and decided to ask Chen Siyuan.
When Wen Kai went to find Chen Siyuan, he discovered that Chen Siyuan was being followed, which is why they used this method to bring Chen Siyuan to them.
At this moment, the carriage that Chen Siyuan had just been in had returned to the General's Mansion, and Chen Siyuan, played by Chunping, had entered the General's Mansion under everyone's watchful eyes.
Wen Kai was originally a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who travels the martial arts world), and he knew many talented and extraordinary people who could help him in critical moments.
Wen Tao was quick-witted and acted boldly and decisively. Wen Xuan got to know some people because he participated in the imperial examination, and because he was able to become a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination), he had more opportunities to communicate with other Jinshi.
Wenxuan knew about things that hadn't been announced yet.
Unfortunately, Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue happened to be one of the examiners for this imperial examination.
Knowing that this happened wasn't entirely unexpected.
"I heard that letters between your father and Minister Su were found in Minister Su's study."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan was stunned.
In her past life, she herself was sent to the guillotine because of a letter. She knew this matter was not simple. If someone really pulled some strings, the entire Chen family would be no match for someone else's schemes.
Could it be that Grandmother knew the seriousness of this situation, which is why she did it to herself?
Thinking about this, she couldn't remain calm. She had to get her older brother out first, and then figure out the next step...
At this moment, Chen Siyuan was unaware that another major event had just occurred in the capital.
Manager Zhang of the Wen Family Cloth Shop suddenly died.
When he died, there were several pieces of fragrant cloth beside him.
After investigation, they found Chen Luyang directly.
Chen Luyang was taken away by the government officials.
"Is this a setup?" Chen Siyuan believed that her father would not do such a thing; someone must have been behind it all.
She didn't know who it was for a moment, but she believed her father wouldn't do such a thing.
She always knew that her father had been very busy since he came to the capital, seemingly busy with something important, but he would never kill anyone.
"Cousin, listen to me..." Wenxuan wanted to tell her what he knew, but Chen Siyuan started to get agitated.
"Someone is targeting the Chen family."
"I know." Wen Tao didn't expect his cousin to be so emotional, so he quickly tried to calm her down. "We came to you today because we want you to tell us what you know so we can work together to find a solution."
The voice wasn't loud, which gradually calmed Chen Siyuan's uneasy heart. When she met the three concerned faces, she quickly told them what she knew.
After he finished speaking, the group fell silent.
Chen Siyuan did indeed think more deeply.
She went to see the Emperor and saw the amber earrings. When she tried to 'grab' them, the Emperor woke up. Then came the matter of the divine physician. She wondered, what exactly happened?
If she pushed those aside, she could imagine what the other person might be planning to do, and at that moment, she couldn't remain calm.
The group talked for a long time until night fell.
Wen Kai carried Chen Siyuan back to the General's Mansion with ease.
Upon arriving at the general's mansion, I found the situation in complete chaos.
I initially thought it was because I was worried about her, but later I learned that my older brother had been taken away by the soldiers.
It was only because the scented fabric was received by the eldest brother.
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan stumbled several times and almost fell to the ground.
The incident happened so suddenly that Chen Siyuan was not prepared.
She felt uneasy about selling the scented fabric, and even more so about keeping it in her possession. So she tried to sell it using that method, but things still went wrong.
"Who took my brother away?" Could it be the Dali Temple again?
"The officials and soldiers of the yamen," Wang Li answered truthfully.
After thinking for a while, Chen Siyuan quickly summoned Black Hawk.
Black Hawk appeared smoothly this time, and Chen Siyuan didn't even think about the previous matter. She quickly asked, "Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue is dead, and the last person he saw was my father. Is this all true?"
