"You don't need to worry too much. Many things don't have much to do with us women. Just be careful not to give anyone any leverage over you," the Fifth Princess Consort said again.
Chen Siyuan nodded; she didn't want to say anything more.
"Also, you should know Chen Xin, right?"
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan didn't want to say anything more to Chen Xin.
"The day before yesterday, I went to the palace and saw Chen Xin there." Everyone remembered Chen Xin's dance performance.
Someone must have done something on purpose that day, which was disrupted by the arrival of the Dowager Princess.
I believe Chen Siyuan still remembers what happened that day.
Chen Siyuan's eyes darkened.
Chen Xin's entry into the palace was clearly related to Consort Hua.
It's definitely not a good thing for them to be together.
Chen Siyuan was a little worried, but she tried her best to hold on.
The Fifth Princess seemed to feel a little sorry for Chen Siyuan. She patted the back of Chen Siyuan's hand and asked, "You probably don't know any martial arts, do you?"
Chen Siyuan shook her head. She had practiced Taekwondo for a while, but unfortunately, it wasn't for long. In a critical moment, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself.
“It’s alright, I’ll teach you Taekwondo and martial arts when I have time. But for now, you need a weapon for self-defense.” The Fifth Princess said, taking out a dark object from the drawer.
Chen Siyuan looked over and it seemed very heavy, but her appearance was a bit strange.
"This is a handgun, a women's handgun. It's very small and convenient for you to carry. You can use this for self-defense. If you encounter a situation that you can't handle, firing a gun will be more effective against knives and swords."
"pistol?"
"This is my baby."
"this......"
"Alright, I won't say much more at this crucial moment. I'll teach you how to use it first, so that if you have a pistol but don't know how to use it, it will be a complete waste."
The Fifth Princess then began instructing Chen Siyuan on how to hold the gun, how to fire it, and how to aim.
These things were unfamiliar to Chen Siyuan. The Fifth Princess was kind, and she studied diligently. It wasn't until dark that Chen Siyuan mastered the basic skills.
When she left, Chen Siyuan was so grateful to the Fifth Princess that she didn't know what to say.
The Fifth Princess Consort reminded her from the side, "If you want to see me in the future, do it here and have someone else deliver the message."
“Okay.” Chen Siyuan understood the Fifth Princess’s intention and agreed wholeheartedly.
Chen Siyuan left in a carriage, a pistol in her hand, still thinking about what the Fifth Princess had said: was this thing called a pistol really that effective?
Back in Beiyuan, after washing up, I received another letter from Qiao Yuchen.
It was still those three words, but Chen Siyuan suddenly felt that these three words were somewhat inappropriate.
After looking at it carefully, I felt that something was not right.
Look closely at these three words.
I miss you.
She was absolutely certain that the writing, both in terms of the pressure and the angle, was indeed done by Qiao Yuchen.
I can't quite put my finger on why I feel something's off, but that's just how I feel.
Chen Siyuan stared at the letter in front of her, looking at it again and again, from every angle, but she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
"Young Madam?" Chunping noticed that the Young Madam had been reading the letter for so long. Could it be because she missed her so much?
"Something doesn't feel right to me."
"What's wrong?" Chunlan asked.
Has too much happened to the young mistress lately, making her suspicious of everything she sees?
“I’m sure this handwriting is Qiao Yuchen’s. Even if it’s an imitation, it wouldn’t be this similar, but I still feel like something’s not right.”
"This servant did not notice."
Chen Siyuan looked at them carefully, and then laid out all of Qiao Yuchen's letters.
He stared at it for a while longer.
There seems to be no difference.
Later, Chen Siyuan took out the letters that Qiao Yuchen had sent when he went to the border last time and laid them out in front of her.
She looked at each piece of paper with a lamp on.
I didn't find anything, but I just had this feeling in my heart.
She stood there, looking at the densely packed letters in front of her. Was it just her imagination, or was she influenced by Qiao Zhen's words?
"Young Madam, here's your ginseng soup." Aunt Jiang came in carrying a small bowl.
Seeing the densely packed letters in front of her, she knew that Qiao Yuchen wrote to Madam Hao every day. She used to wonder what kind of letters were coming so frequently.
Looking at it now, these three words are all very simple.
It shouldn't be too troublesome to write, and besides, these words are sincere.
Judging from the young mistress's expression, you can tell what's going on.
Chen Siyuan seemed to notice the teasing look in Jiang Ma's eyes, and quickly picked up the small bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Alright, you're all tired, go and rest!"
Jiang Ma, Chunlan, and Chunping left.
Chen Siyuan was left alone. She glanced at the letter in front of her one last time, carefully put it away, and then, as she lay down on the bed, she accidentally touched the so-called pistol.
Thinking of what the Fifth Princess Consort had said, she didn't quite believe it, but having an extra weapon for self-defense was indeed quite good.
Seeing that it was only the size of her palm, the Fifth Princess said that this was a women's version. Could it be that there was also a men's version?
She suddenly thought of daggers and longswords; perhaps that was the difference between them.
Chen Siyuan wasn't sure if what the Fifth Princess Consort said was true, but she cared a lot about how much others cared about her.
Rebirth always brings her endless surprises.
In her past life, she was constantly busy making money. In this life, she doesn't worry about money and instead receives so much care and concern.
Madam Qiao, Qiao Zhen, and the Fifth Princess were her greatest gains.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of the Emperor again.
The Emperor is a strange person, but fortunately he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong. He has helped me several times, and even the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady was bestowed upon me by the Emperor.
I wonder how the Emperor's health is. From what I saw that day, he seemed to be on the verge of death.
During her time away from home, she hadn't heard any news about the Emperor, and she knew that news about the Emperor wouldn't circulate among the common people.
Perhaps the Emperor was just ill, and he has recovered now.
Thinking and thinking, Chen Siyuan got a little tired, yawned twice in a row, and soon drifted off to sleep.
Chen Siyuan always had nightmares while she was asleep.
She struggled several times, but could not escape the horrifying scene.
the next day.
Chunlan saw that the young mistress was still asleep. She came in and found that the young mistress was in good condition, so she quickly woke her up.
When Chen Siyuan woke up, she was panting heavily. Chunlan and Chunping were quite alarmed. Fortunately, Aunt Jiang was there, so nothing serious would happen.
Once Chen Siyuan had caught her breath, she met three pairs of worried eyes and shook her head. "I just had a nightmare, you don't need to worry."
"Young Madam, dreams are often the opposite of reality, don't overthink it," Aunt Jiang advised from the side.
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan slowly got up, and Chunlan and Chunping quickly served her.
They were extra cautious today.
The young mistress's current state was somewhat different from her sudden coma that time. They were still thinking that perhaps they should trick the young mistress into going to the pharmacy so that Doctor Shi could take a look and put their minds at ease.
