After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qiao Yuchen finally understood what Taekwondo was and how powerful it was.
Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen with pride in her eyes, "She also said that once I'm familiar with this, she'll teach me martial arts."
It was another new term, one he had never heard of before. After witnessing Taekwondo and the pistol, he felt he should meet the Fifth Princess.
"Don't you also think the Fifth Princess Consort is strange?" Chen Siyuan asked, leaning closer to the man who remained silent.
Qiao Yuchen nodded honestly.
It was indeed very strange, but I was also very grateful.
"What are your plans?" Qiao Yuchen asked, unaware of the relief he felt inside.
Just as they initially suspected that Chen Siyuan and the Fifth Princess knew each other, it was later confirmed that it was all a shock.
Later, the Fourth Prince, whom the Fifth Prince had been assisting, died. He didn't think the Fifth Prince would be the kind of fool who would seek revenge for the Fourth Prince. Besides, revenge shouldn't be directed at oneself; the person most deserving of revenge should be the Third Prince.
Chen Siyuan glanced around warily, making sure their conversation wouldn't be overheard, before speaking again, "The Fifth Princess also told me that the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince met in private."
Qiao Yuchen looked at Chen Siyuan, "She told you that too?"
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan nodded. "Regardless of what exactly happened between the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince, I think the Fifth Princess is quite interesting."
"If you like her, you should spend more time together. When you go back this time, bring her some gifts."
"Great." Chen Siyuan grinned from ear to ear, pleased with the result she wanted.
She doesn't participate in many things, but she deeply remembers the kindness people show her.
This was the best conversation the two had since arriving in Huzhou.
They had let go of many things and viewed the whole situation with ease. When it came to Huoye, they both felt disappointed.
The method was good, but the fire element didn't appear.
It seems to have left an invisible bomb in their hearts, making them afraid to even touch it.
The next day.
As they prepared to leave, Qiao Yuchen and Su Wen began to get busy.
Many people and a lot of evidence need to be safely brought back to the capital so that some people can be convicted.
Along the way, they anticipated many dangers and began to become cautious.
Chen Siyuan still took Wang Li shopping, looking for business opportunities and choosing gifts.
I've made quite a stir this time, and if I don't perform well, many people will be disappointed.
Chen Siyuan took this very seriously.
Because they bought a lot of things, Wang Li drove the carriage while Chen Siyuan strolled around beside him.
Chen Siyuan gave the things she had just bought to Wang Li and continued to choose the next gift.
Suddenly, I saw someone who looked somewhat familiar walk past a shop next door.
Chen Siyuan was unsure, so she quickly followed.
Upon seeing this, Wang Li abandoned the carriage and followed them into the shop.
He went inside almost immediately, but couldn't find Chen Siyuan anywhere. Just as he was getting worried, he heard Chen Siyuan's voice in his ear.
He looked around and, apart from a waiter inside, couldn't see Chen Siyuan anywhere. He was terrified.
In this situation, Wang Li immediately summoned the nearby small animals.
There were only a few rats nearby, so Wang Li ignored them, squeaked for a bit, and stood there quietly waiting.
Actually, Chen Siyuan was only a few steps away from Wang Li. She could see Wang Li, but it seemed that Wang Li could not see her.
She looked at Huoye standing in front of her and said cautiously, "Thank you for what happened last time."
"It was nothing." Huo Ye's expression was calm, just like that day, always so calm, as if nothing could stir his emotions.
Chen Siyuan sensed that Huo Ye was in a bad mood today and wanted to ask him about the woman in red, but she felt it wasn't a good opportunity.
He then spoke.
"Is your father, Huoguang, really dead?"
"Um."
“My mother had a lock that your father made, but unfortunately she is no longer with her.”
Huo Ye glanced at Chen Siyuan indifferently, "You came to me for this?"
Chen Siyuan gave an awkward smile, as if her secret had been seen through, and as if she felt heartless and should explain, but she held back.
Many capable people have their own quirks, and a master mechanic like Huoye is definitely not going to have a good temper.
"I just want it returned to its rightful owner."
"..." Huo Ye didn't speak, but just glanced at them.
"I'm about to return to the capital. If you want your father's lock back, you can come to the General's Mansion to find me." She could see the other person's impatience; she wasn't oblivious to his rudeness.
"Hmm." After saying this, Huoye walked up the stairs.
Chen Siyuan kept watching Huo Ye's back; this man's temper could no longer be described as eccentric.
Just then, a surprised exclamation rang in my ears, "Young Madam, you're really here?"
Chen Siyuan looked at Wang Li and asked, "You can see me now?"
Wang Li nodded excitedly.
He heard Chen Siyuan's voice just now, and he also learned from the little mouse where Chen Siyuan was staying, so he waited anxiously.
Sure enough, the person who was clearly not there suddenly appeared.
"I've got my eye on a few things. Could you move them to the car?" Chen Siyuan said, then spoke to the waiter beside her.
Several valuable items were quickly loaded onto the carriage. Chen Siyuan seemed unconcerned about the exorbitant price asked by the other party. After paying, she quickly left in the carriage.
They were very quiet along the way, and when they arrived at the courtyard, the carriage stopped at the door.
Guards carried the items from the carriage inside.
Wang Li followed Chen Siyuan into the courtyard.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Chen Siyuan sat down at the table and drank a cup of tea. She was finally able to calm down.
Huo Ye is no ordinary person; I couldn't tell whether he was good or bad just from meeting him.
"Young Madam?" Wang Li couldn't help but ask.
What just happened was too bizarre.
"I just encountered Huo Ye. He probably used some kind of illusion to make you unable to see me."
Wang Li was shocked, but he could accept it.
"You don't need to bring your friends along, lest you offend this person."
"But?"
"That person isn't hostile towards us right now, but it would be bad if we angered him."
"Yes," Wang Li said, and quickly left.
In a deserted place, he muttered a few words to the empty space, and soon went back to his usual busy routine.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan looked at the few items in front of her that she had just bought from the shop.
It was quite ordinary and seemed perfectly normal, but Chen Siyuan still carefully put it away.
I always feel that these seemingly ordinary things will be helpful in the future.
Seeing Huoye before leaving is a kind of fate, and I hope that this fate will not turn into a bad one.
Huo Ye's starting point was different, and it was clear that what he cared about most was the woman in red.
He hoped that the bait he had used to lure him out would allow him to see this person in the capital.
