Chen Siyuan went to the Wen family's house.
Wen Tonghai was very worried when he saw that his granddaughter had lost a lot of weight.
"Yuan'er, are you alright?" The news outside was making headlines, and Wen Tonghai couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Strangely enough, no matter what rumors were circulating, Wen Tonghai, who was always very worried about his granddaughter, did not visit her at the General's Mansion, nor did he send anyone to inquire about her.
"I believe in him," Chen Siyuan said directly, a belief she held firmly in her heart and had always held.
"That's good." Wen Tonghai was relieved. "Your older cousin has already gone there. I believe he will bring him back."
He dared not say what kind of Qiao Yuchen he would bring back.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have troubled you again," Chen Siyuan said, bowing her head.
"Only on the day I'm truly buried will I be free from worry," Wen Tonghai glanced at her.
This child is more anxious than anyone else when the Wen family is in trouble, but she becomes so polite when she encounters problems herself.
"Grandpa—" Chen Siyuan's eyes reddened as she leaned on her grandfather's shoulder.
"Alright, I got it, but I have to warn you, I've noticed that things aren't very quiet in the capital lately, you'll be quite busy."
What's interesting about "......"?
"Too many people are wary of the General's Mansion. Now that Qiao Yuchen has caused this incident, some people may target the General's Mansion. You should prepare in advance."
"Um."
"What was the general's reaction?"
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, "Very busy."
"You may not know much about the previous dynasty. As far as I know, the royal family of the previous dynasty is all dead. It couldn't be the work of the previous dynasty's sinister forces. Someone might be making a big deal out of this."
"I understand." Chen Siyuan didn't know why her grandfather was so sure, but she completely believed whatever her grandfather said.
"The imperial examination has been postponed. Your third cousin is going out for a walk."
"This is a good thing." The capital city won't be quiet for a while, so leaving is a good idea.
"Your third cousin is planning to visit Huzhou."
"Huzhou?" Chen Siyuan's eyes widened instantly.
That's not the place where Su Wen eliminated corrupt officials.
Wenxuan was about to explain that it wasn't safe for her to go to that place, but when she met her grandfather's gaze, she didn't know how to start.
"You also know about what happened in Huzhou?"
"Grandpa?"
"Since you know this, then you should stay quietly in the capital and not run around, causing this old man so much worry."
At that moment, Chen Siyuan felt that her grandfather seemed to know everything.
After her grandfather's words, she calmed down.
The panicked person calmed down and looked at the whole thing again. She thought of what Qiao Yuchen said when he left. She waited quietly for what she would see.
After returning to the General's Mansion from her maternal grandfather's place, Chen Siyuan went directly to General Qiao's central garden.
When they arrived at Zhongyuan, General Qiao happened to be returning from outside.
"Father, can we talk?" At this moment, Chen Siyuan was not humble, but spoke with confidence.
General Qiao saw that Chen Siyuan had changed drastically.
As I look, it seems I see a shadow of her from back then.
So similar!
"Father?" Chen Siyuan asked again.
With a glance from General Qiao, his attendants left, and General Qiao led Chen Siyuan to his study.
"I heard you went to see your grandfather?"
Chen Siyuan was taken aback. Could it be that General Qiao had sent someone to follow her?
"yes."
How is your grandfather's health lately?
Chen Siyuan was stunned again. Could it be that General Qiao knew her maternal grandfather?
That's impossible!
My maternal grandfather never had any contact with these officials in the capital, so how could he possibly know them?
"Um."
"Your grandfather's health has always been poor, so try not to visit him if you need anything in the future."
"Father, do you know my maternal grandfather?" Chen Siyuan asked.
She was afraid she would suffocate if she didn't speak.
"I suppose so!" General Qiao said, standing up, his hands behind his back, looking at a painting beside him.
Chen Siyuan followed her gaze.
A painting of a tiger descending a mountain.
There are too many problems with this painting. If it were an ambitious person, it would represent the idea of retiring after failure. But for General Qiao's current situation, it shouldn't be like that.
Could it be?
Chen Siyuan suddenly thought of everything that had happened in the General's Mansion over the years, and the appearance of Qiao Yuchen. Could it be...? Thinking of that possibility, Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm.
She tried hard to control herself and not let her emotions show.
After a long silence, General Qiao spoke again, "What kind of person do you think the Emperor is?"
Chen Siyuan didn't dare to speak, but since there were no outsiders present, she thought for a moment and said, "He is a good emperor."
"That's all?" General Qiao said, turning to look at Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Hmm." Since they hadn't interacted much, she couldn't say too much.
She knew perfectly well what would happen if someone overheard her talking here—that person was the emperor.
There are too many things that can cost someone their life with a single sentence.
"Alright, you must be tired too. Tomorrow will be even busier, so you can go now!"
"yes."
Chen Siyuan felt confused. After leaving, she only felt that General Qiao and her grandfather knew each other.
Thinking about this, she felt she should talk to her grandfather and find out what was going on.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan, who had just left, was unaware that after she left General Qiao's study, a hidden door slowly opened, and the Emperor walked out from inside.
At this moment, the emperor looked unwell and staggered, as if he had not yet fully recovered.
When General Qiao saw the Emperor, he immediately knelt on the ground.
