"Young Miss, are you alright?" Chunlan and Chunping, who were finally able to move, knelt down and kowtowed when they saw that their young lady was unharmed.
It was their negligence in protecting her that led to the young lady being kidnapped.
Even if that person is Tao Yifan, it would be bad for the young lady's reputation if word got out.
Chen Siyuan was in a daze.
She cursed herself inwardly, wondering what she was being so narcissistic about.
Wasn't being hurt by Song Ji enough? With so many things going on around her now, she didn't have time to think about anything else.
Besides, given my current reputation, who would have any designs on me?
"It's alright, are you both alright?" Chen Siyuan said, helping the two maids up. She was worried about her troublesome and unlucky mistress.
"This servant is fine; it is our fault for not protecting the young lady properly."
Chunlan and Chunping bowed their heads.
“You are all mortals, how can you compare to a shameless pervert like Tao Yifan?”
Chunlan and Chunping didn't know how to react.
Judging from the young lady's appearance, nothing bad should have happened.
The two quickly began to serve the young lady tea. After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Siyuan suddenly remembered what Tao Yifan had said. She immediately went to the inner hall and took out the nanmu box that she had redeemed from the pawnshop not long ago.
When Tao Yifan mentioned this, he wondered if this thing was really related to his background.
I held it carefully in my palm, looked at it again and again, and knew it was a box, but I just couldn't open it.
"Does Miss want to open this box?" Chunlan asked cautiously.
Chen Siyuan glanced at Chunlan, thinking that she was sent by her maternal grandfather, and that these were her mother's things. Perhaps they would have a way.
Can you open this box?
Chunlan shook her head, "This servant can't open it, but Miss can."
Chen Siyuan looked at Chunlan with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
I've tried opening it many times but still can't. What does Chunlan mean by that?
He couldn't discern anything from Chunlan's face, so he turned to Chunping and said, "You tell me."
Chunlan stomped her foot angrily, "It was this servant who said it first."
I don't like people who keep you in suspense.
Chunlan was angry, but she couldn't say anything more.
Upon seeing this, Chunping asked, "Where did Miss find it?"
"Yes, there's a compartment inside the box."
"That was left by the young lady's mother and the young lady herself."
"my mother?"
“The real mother,” Chunping corrected.
Clang—
Chen Siyuan excitedly swept the teacup next to her to the ground, seemingly not hearing it, and stared at Chunping, very agitated, "What do you mean by that?"
Upon seeing this, Chunlan quickly went to close the door.
Chunping then spoke up, "Madam Chen is not the eldest daughter's biological mother."
"..." Chen Siyuan was very excited, but couldn't say anything.
"The eldest daughter's mother was the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and later the eldest daughter was adopted by Madam Chen."
"Wait a minute—" Chen Siyuan's mind was a little foggy, "My mother is the eldest daughter of the Wen family?"
"yes."
"My mother knows Mrs. Chen?"
"It was the eldest daughter's mother who saved Madam Chen's life back then."
Chen Siyuan got angry and swept everything in front of her to the ground in one fell swoop. The two maids knelt down and dared not utter a sound.
“Tell me everything.”
Chunping was frightened and tremblingly told what she knew, "This servant doesn't know much either. It was when I came to serve the eldest young lady that I was told that when the eldest young lady found this box, she would tell the eldest young lady the truth."
Chen Siyuan was furious and kicked over a chair.
Chunping kowtowed, "I don't know the specifics. Master Wen told me that if I wanted to know about her handwriting and background, I could go to the capital. If I didn't want to know, I would be the eldest daughter of the Chen family for the rest of my life."
Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from her, Chen Siyuan then remembered that she had been adopted by Madam Chen, so Madam Chen shouldn't have been pregnant back then, and the old lady should know this.
Thinking of this, she immediately took the nanmu box and ran to find Old Madam Chen.
The grandmother was drinking tea when she noticed her granddaughter's pale face and the nanmu box in her hand, and seemed to understand something.
He glanced at Lin's mother.
Lin Ma left with Chunlan and Chunping, who had just arrived.
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan seemed unable to bear it and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"Speak up if you have something to say." When Madam Chen learned that Chen Siyuan had brought back a box from the pawnshop, she knew that some things could no longer be kept secret.
"Grandmother—" Chen Siyuan cried uncontrollably, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Alright, child, don't cry." Old Madam Chen felt very sad as well.
Chen Siyuan sat on the ground and looked at Grandmother, "Grandmother, I heard that I am not your granddaughter."
She had known all along, but she kept it a secret, thinking that as long as she didn't say anything, no one would know. Now she realized that she had oversimplified things.
Not only that, she felt that everyone around her knew, but she was the only one burying her head in the sand.
"Nonsense, you are my granddaughter."
"But...but...they said..." Chen Siyuan choked up, unable to speak.
Old Madam Chen knew what had happened. Feeling sorry for the child, she pretended to be angry and slapped her on the head, saying, "What? I've raised you, and you don't even recognize your grandmother anymore?"
"No, I..."
"But what?" Old Madam Chen didn't give her granddaughter a chance to speak, patting her head repeatedly. "Don't talk dirty. I'll always be your grandmother. You can't deny it even if you want to."
