"What do you mean?" Chen Siyuan asked.
Wen Tonghai also thought of this question and asked, "Grandpa would like to hear it too."
When Chen Siyuan saw so many eyes looking at her, she immediately had her own idea. "What's the big deal? The rules remain the same."
"You think you have the final say?"
"At worst, we can just break up." The moment Chen Siyuan fell for Qiao Yuchen, she had no intention of letting another woman be by Qiao Yuchen's side.
If it really happens and she can't control it, then fine, she'll leave and let someone else marry a new lover.
"Madam, you've misspoke."
Chen Siyuan's words made them uneasy. Just as they were about to say something, a voice came from outside. Seeing that it was the Fifth Princess Consort who walked in, everyone bowed.
The Fifth Princess was very polite to Wen Tonghai and the others.
After greeting everyone, she turned to Chen Siyuan and began to lecture her, "Even if you break up, why let the man benefit? Make a fuss, make a huge fuss. Anyway, the General's Mansion has a big reputation. Let them lose face and then you can just leave."
"Fifth Princess Consort, don't scare my grandfather. He's timid and if you frighten him, I'll fight you to the death."
Chen Siyuan stated her bottom line directly. She was now trying to get along better with the Fifth Princess, and she knew that the Fifth Princess was doing it for her own good. After all, her grandfather was getting old, and if he were to be frightened into something bad, who would she cry to?
Wen Tonghai and the others could no longer remain calm; they seemed to instinctively want to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
When the Fifth Princess saw their actions, she initially thought they were going to harm her and wondered if she should have come. But when she saw what they were doing, she understood and quickly helped Wen Tonghai up.
“Grandpa Wen, you are Siyuan’s elder, and also my elder. How can you bow to me? Besides, if you really bow to me, Siyuan might not forgive me.”
She sounded very aggrieved, as if she was genuinely afraid of Chen Siyuan's anger.
Wen Tonghai looked at Chen Siyuan, then at the Fifth Princess in front of him, not understanding what was going on.
Chen Siyuan quickly explained to her grandfather, "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about it. That's just how the Fifth Princess is. She has helped me several times. I feel that I don't have many friends in the capital, and she is one of them. We don't have many formalities when we get along. We were just joking around just now."
Wen Tonghai looked at the Fifth Princess.
"Siyuan calls you Grandpa, so I'll call you Grandpa too. Grandpa, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have spoken so casually like we do when we're together."
Wen Tonghai looked at Chen Siyuan, could it really be like this?
He could hardly believe that a princess could be so good-tempered.
“Father, look, the Princess Consort is still…” Madam Wen reminded him from the side.
Continuing to talk like this seemed inappropriate, so she could only try to ease the tension.
“My aunt is right, Grandpa. I really have a good relationship with the Fifth Princess. She has helped me out of trouble several times. After spending time together, we felt that we were compatible. Although we don’t have many opportunities to meet, we sincerely consider each other as friends,” Chen Siyuan explained from the side. Wen Tonghai didn’t quite believe it, but he could only accept it.
The atmosphere was originally very pleasant, but they felt a little awkward because of the arrival of the Fifth Princess. They had just finished eating and made an excuse to leave.
Chen Siyuan stayed behind to say a few words to the Fifth Princess.
"Did I say something wrong?" The Fifth Princess was a little embarrassed. She had only been there a short time, and everyone else had already left. She felt a bit guilty.
Perhaps it was because this man was Chen Siyuan's maternal grandfather, or perhaps it was because they had taken a step closer. Originally, she wanted to learn more about Chen Siyuan's mother's past, but unfortunately, she couldn't accept this result.
“My grandfather is a rather traditional person. He probably feels that the princess is different from the royal family members he has met, and he can’t accept it for a while. He’ll get used to it.” Without her grandfather present, Chen Siyuan was much calmer. She absolutely couldn’t say those inappropriate things.
Just now, Chen Siyuan felt like she was really getting carried away.
They've even forgotten who they are.
This is how they treated Qiao Zhen, and it's the same with the Fifth Princess Consort. It's really wrong of them.
"Alright, I understand. I won't be so approachable in the future," the Fifth Princess said, sounding somewhat dejected.
She has eyes and can see it, but unfortunately, her enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant, and she still felt a little bitter.
"Yes, a princess should have the airs of a princess, but we don't need to be so formal with each other."
"Why?" The Fifth Princess gave her a cold look.
She's so heartless; she did it all for Chen Siyuan, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.
"You said it would be free as long as I treat," Chen Siyuan said, shoving her with her shoulder.
The Fifth Princess finally smiled.
They laughed hysterically, showing absolutely no awareness of their status.
Chen Siyuan seemed to have caught the infection, and her mood improved a lot.
Soon, his expression changed again. "I'm a little tired."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Siyuan shook her head, not wanting to speak.
The Fifth Princess Consort didn't say anything, and pulled Chen Siyuan to her office.
When it came time to get things done, Chen Siyuan looked at the unfamiliar things. In the past, she would have been very curious, but now she was really tired.
Whether it's her elder brother's matter or her father's matter, although the matter seems to be over, for Chen Siyuan, things are definitely not as simple as they appear.
The emperor's attitude also left her completely baffled.
The Fifth Princess gently hugged Chen Siyuan, feeling the tension in her body. "It's alright, everything will pass."
Chen Siyuan opened her mouth, wanting to express her true feelings, but she was still a little worried.
The two hugged like that. After a while, Chen Siyuan's emotions stabilized, and the Fifth Princess let go of her and made her a cup of flower tea.
