Beiyuan is now deserted.
Chen Siyuan died, and the people who served her were originally from the Wen family, but they were taken away by the Wen family.
On the day of Wen Tonghai's burial, he cried all the way, chasing after Chen Siyuan's coffin until Chen Siyuan's coffin entered the General's Mansion cemetery. Wen Tonghai fainted then. He has now woken up, but his condition is very bad, and he could die at any time.
...
The Chen family is different.
Not long ago, Chen Luyang was arrested, Chen Zhaokun was suspected, but was later proven innocent, and the entire Chen family disappeared.
The Chen family still exists, but the original owner is gone.
He appeared the day after Chen Siyuan's burial.
Unfortunately, as scheduled, Old Madam Chen was carried into the Chen family home.
The Chen family isn't much better off.
It seems that no matter where they are, they cannot accept the fact that Chen Siyuan has left.
...
General's Mansion.
Qiao Yuchen and Chen Siyuan were buried together.
This incident was a huge blow to Mrs. Qiao.
He was bedridden all day and didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
General Qiao took care of him every day, but his health never improved.
The entire general's mansion fell into silence because of the funeral.
No one dared to speak loudly; they would not speak unless absolutely necessary.
Even when speaking, they would only say one sentence if possible, never two.
The once vibrant General's Mansion gradually declined.
With such an incident at the General's Mansion, it seems everyone has forgotten about Concubine Xu in the warm pavilion.
The food and drink were forgotten to be delivered, and they didn't show up that day; it seems they starved to death inside.
That day, the General's Mansion was as quiet as ever, but Qiao Zhen's arrival made it slightly different.
Qiao Zhen did not come alone; the Third Prince came with her.
When Qiao Zhen arrived at the General's Mansion, she heard that Madam Qiao had been bedridden for a long time and could not even get out of bed, so she rushed to the West Garden.
The Third Prince, who had been following behind, only glanced at Madam Qiao before exchanging greetings and quickly leaving.
Upon hearing the news, General Qiao rushed back from outside.
Upon seeing the Third Prince, he immediately bowed.
Later, the two went to the study to talk.
They went in for a long time but didn't come out.
Aunt Xu heard the news while she was in the warm chamber.
A hint of coldness flashed across her face.
Why should it be that the daughter she raised for so many years finally sat in the position of the Third Prince's consort, while Madam Qiao took away this achievement?
She was unwilling to accept it.
It turns out that Madam Qiao was suppressing things, because Qiao Yuchen was under Madam Qiao's name. Now that Qiao Yuchen is dead and Chen Siyuan is dead, the only child in the General's Mansion is her daughter, who is the Third Prince's consort.
There is no longer any oppression over them, so why should she have to accept this treatment now?
Wang Ma, who was standing quietly to the side, saw the ferocity on Aunt Xu's face.
She knew in her heart that Aunt Xu in the General's Mansion was never simple and was the most cunning person there.
Aunt Xu changed into an exquisite outfit and slowly walked out of the warm pavilion.
She first went to General Qiao's central garden and glanced at the location of the study.
The Third Prince has not yet come out, which means he is obviously discussing important matters with General Qiao.
She didn't disturb them and turned to go to the West Garden.
Upon arriving at the West Garden, perhaps because of Qiao Zhen's return, Aunt Xu, who was usually amiable, suddenly had a hint of coldness in her eyes, followed by a chilling smile on her lips.
Today, Aunt Xu thought she was showing off, but little did she know she had gotten herself into big trouble.
Oh!
She thought that with her daughter, she could make a remarkable comeback in the general's mansion, but little did she know that her actions were tantamount to courting death.
At this moment, what Aunt Xu wanted most was to expose Madam Qiao's hypocritical mask and tell her daughter how she had been placed under house arrest in the General's Mansion.
When Consort Xu arrived with an air of nobility, the many maids who were already nervous because of Qiao Yuchen's death became even more nervous when they saw Consort Xu looking so radiant.
Now that there's a funeral at the General's Mansion, how could Aunt Xu be dressed like this?
It seems that Qiao Yuchen's death was the death she was most happy about.
Zhang Ma had been by Madam Qiao's side the whole time. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Aunt Xu standing not far behind her. Seeing her clothes, she felt a surge of anger.
"Aunt Xu—"
To deliberately exclaim in surprise in order to attract attention.
Madam Qiao, Qiao Zhen, and Ju Hong saw Aunt Xu, dressed in a bright outfit, standing not far away because of the exclamation.
Mrs. Qiao sighed deeply.
She thought to herself, "Some people think they have an opportunity now, but they don't know that their so-called opportunity will also be lost today."
Qiao Zhen was about to send everyone away and reveal the secret when she turned her head and saw Aunt Xu's appearance. Instantly, her eyes turned sharp, "Ju Hong."
"This servant is here." Juhong also felt that Aunt Xu was too insensible. After experiencing this funeral in the General's Mansion, how could someone act like this?
Back when she was in the General's Mansion, I thought Aunt Xu was the most sensible person. I never imagined that she would turn out like this after only a short time away.
She felt sorry for Qiao Zhen because she didn't see Aunt Xu during that homecoming. Now that she saw her, she wished she hadn't seen her at all.
Ju Hong quickly approached Aunt Xu and said politely, "Aunt Xu, please."
Aunt Xu raised her hand and slapped Jiu Hong across the face, saying, "What do you think you are?"
“Aunt Xu…” Qiao Zhen hadn’t expected Aunt Xu to turn out like this. She was about to get up when someone pulled her back down. She then met Madam Qiao’s gaze and sat down again.
"Someone, Aunt Xu is tired. Take her to the Four Warm Pavilion to rest."
As soon as these words were spoken, a maid walked in from outside. This maid was clearly no ordinary person; she was tall and imposing, and her eyes held a knowing gaze that seemed to belong to a man.
Aunt Xu looked at her daughter, thinking that Madam Qiao must have been instigating her. Just as she was about to speak, the maid who had just entered did not give her a chance to speak. She covered her mouth with one hand and dragged her out.
That's really disrespectful.
Wang Ma was stunned. She didn't care about anything else, bowed to Madam Qiao, and immediately ran out.
Ju Hong was also stunned.
It turns out the maid sent by the Third Prince was so audacious.
Suddenly, she felt that the slap was nothing.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen said, "Zhang Ma, take Ju Hong downstairs to apply the medicine."
Zhang Ma glanced at Madam Qiao, bowed, and said, "Yes."
She was also stunned by Qiao Zhen's actions.
Aunt Xu is Qiao Zhen's biological mother, yet she treats her like this; she truly has no dignity whatsoever.
She could almost foresee that after today, the General's Mansion would have one more topic of conversation.
Thinking back on what I just did, it was really exhilarating.
Even though it wasn't made by me, it still feels satisfying to see. What kind of thing is that, daring to challenge Madam? They're asking for death!
Only Qiao Zhen and Madam Qiao were in the room. Qiao Zhen, no longer behaving timidly, spoke up, "Mother, I know you've never liked me?"
