When Chen Siyuan returned to the warm house, her heart was pounding.
I don't know if what I did was right.
She hadn't expected that Madam Liu had come to her for help.
Tao Yifan was right beside him, so why did he choose to look for him?
Thinking about this, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
What exactly is going on here?
I'm clearly an outsider, so why are so many things happening around me?
Chunlan and Chunping quietly served by her side.
They couldn't put it into words, but they always felt that the young lady had something on her mind.
Considering Tao Yifan's attitude towards Madam Liu, could it be that Madam Liu's identity is unusual?
Thinking it over, Chunlan, since there were no outsiders present, spoke directly, "Miss, just who is this Madam Liu?"
"She's high above, unapproachable." He said dejectedly.
Chunlan and Chunping wanted to say something, but when they saw the way the young lady was looking at them, they fell silent.
"There are many things that people at our level shouldn't talk about. Don't mention them to anyone in the future."
"yes."
"yes."
Chunlan and Chunping were unaware of Madam Liu's true identity. The attitudes of the eldest daughter and Young Master Tao indicated that the woman's identity was not simple.
However, if Young Master Tao takes Chen Siyuan away so late and someone sees them, it will be bad for the young lady's reputation.
The three were worried about this matter when, unexpectedly, Tao Yifan appeared again the next day, once again at the old lady's summer residence.
After paying his respects to the old lady, Tao Yifan directly stated his purpose.
Old Madam Chen was an elderly woman with a keen and far-sighted perspective. She felt something was amiss and was about to politely refuse when Tao Yifan spoke up again, forcing her to release the man.
Soon, Lin's mother invited Chen Siyuan over.
Chen Siyuan looked unwell, her face slightly pale. When she saw Tao Yifan, she bowed, but the simple gesture made her sway a little. Chunlan and Chunping helped her up so she wouldn't fall awkwardly.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Siyuan shook her head, "It's nothing. I probably caught a chill last night. I felt a little unwell when I got up, which made Grandmother worry."
"Sit down quickly," Old Madam Chen said, extremely worried.
This is her precious child; how come he got sick after just going out last night?
She felt sorry for her granddaughter and disliked Tao Yifan even more.
I was just thinking that Tao Yifan was going too far by talking about his grandfather.
The Chen family's daughter, who hasn't married into the family yet, is always seen with Tao Yifan, which is bad for her granddaughter's reputation.
She simply turned to Tao Yifan and said, "Young Master Tao, Yuan'er is not feeling well. Please go back and tell Old Master Tao that we should reschedule for another day!"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Chen Siyuan coughed twice to respond.
Tao Yifan glanced at Chen Siyuan and said, "Since Miss Chen is not feeling well, I will have the housekeeper send her some tonics when we get back."
Madam Chen didn't want to waste her breath on this man.
The Chen family has plenty of health supplements.
Lin's mother reacted even faster, and immediately began to see people off after Tao Yifan finished speaking.
After leaving the Chen family, Tao Yifan glanced at the Chen family's gate and quickly rode away, but he didn't go far, instead going around to the back gate of the Chen family.
Summer Residence.
Chen Siyuan, who had been looking sickly just moments before, suddenly smiled at the old lady.
"Grandmother, you're the best." He hugged the old lady and started to act coquettishly.
"Hmph, you little brat, you even dare to deceive your grandmother." The old lady said with displeasure, but in her heart she was overjoyed.
"Grandmother, you think the Tao family is a good match for your granddaughter," she said, then lay down on her grandmother's lap. "I still find the Tao family's servants strange, and I have no evidence. I also think the Tao family is a very complicated place. I want to live a few more years."
The old lady had been deliberately sullen, but upon hearing this, she fell silent.
Grandpa Tao is alright, but Tao Yifan, after several encounters, is indeed capable.
Now that she's getting on in years, she doesn't want her granddaughter to find some powerful backer. She just hopes that her granddaughter can marry well, be a good wife and mother, and live a peaceful life.
Whether it's the Chen family or the Wen family, they both have the means to take care of their granddaughter for a lifetime. Even if they find a man who isn't very successful in the future, as long as he's good to their granddaughter, that's fine.
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan began to whine.
The old lady was also somewhat troubled.
Breaking off the engagement would be bad for the granddaughter's reputation.
"Let me think about it some more."
Chen Siyuan did not allow the old lady to express her opinion immediately and left quickly.
When Chen Siyuan returned to the warm residence with two maids, Chunlan couldn't help but speak up.
"Young Miss, you really don't like Young Master Tao?"
"Entering the gates of a noble family is like entering a deep sea; I, this young lady, wish to live a couple more years." One experience is enough; she cannot have too many extravagant hopes.
Finding a powerful official to back you up might be an option, but as for a married couple, forget it!
Chen Siyuan was too optimistic, unaware that she had just entered the warm residence and hadn't even had time to react before she was kidnapped.
Chunlan and Chunping tried to stop them, but their pressure points were sealed, and they could only watch helplessly as the young lady was taken away by Tao Yifan.
They were just amazed by the young lady's wit, but they never expected Tao Yifan to be so despicable.
When Chen Siyuan regained consciousness, she found herself in a swaying carriage, with Tao Yifan sitting next to her.
Instantly, Chen Siyuan became enraged and reached out to slash his face, but the man simply blocked her with two fingers.
"Tao Yifan, you bastard."
Tao Yifan had long known that this woman wouldn't be as easy to talk to as she seemed, but he never expected her to be so vulgar.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Tao Yifan, you'd better let me get off the carriage now, otherwise you should worry that all your efforts over the years might have gone down the drain."
"What do you mean?" This woman dared to threaten me; she really had some nerve.
If this woman dares to fake illness, what else is she incapable of?
Thinking about it, when he saw Chen Siyuan, a possibility suddenly occurred to him: could this woman know Madam Liu's identity?
"It doesn't mean anything, I just want to go home."
Are you worried about your reputation?
"Reputation?" Chen Siyuan sneered. "What good reputation do I have left?"
Regardless of whether the Tao family was involved in Song Ji's affair or not, she was determined to pin the blame on the Tao family.
She would say anything to get away from this man.
Now that things have calmed down in the Chen family, she intends to continue living there. As for that center of power that everyone yearns for, she is tired and weary, and no longer wants to live in that kind of scheming and being schemed against.
Chen Siyuan tried various ways to leave the carriage and return to the Zhen family, but the moment the carriage stopped, she clearly saw the gate of the Tao family, and her eyes immediately dimmed.
Looking at Tao Yifan, "Does it really have to be this way?"
This has nothing to do with me, so why is this man insisting on dragging me into this?
Good things are still possible, but this could very well be a matter of losing her head. She wants to live and doesn't want to become a stepping stone on someone else's road to success.
