Chen Siyuan had just finished dinner and was planning to read for a while before resting.
During this time, she thought a lot. There were many things that she couldn't change, so she could only take it one step at a time.
Perhaps it was because I had let go of my prejudice against my father that I suddenly felt that this kind of life was really good.
The Chen family was bathed in a gentle atmosphere; if things continued this way, they would surely be living a life of bliss.
Unfortunately, everything was disrupted by the arrival of Tao Yifan.
The moment Chen Siyuan saw Tao Yifan, her expression instantly turned sour. "What are you doing here?"
"Madam Liu is dying and wants to see you one last time."
“I…” Death was impossible; the only possibility was faking it. Knowing it was just a murky mess, she didn’t want to get involved.
"Respect for the dead is paramount; you should go see her one last time." Tao Yifan could easily kidnap the woman, but he didn't want to strain the relationship too much.
Chen Siyuan was filled with hatred.
This person must have done it on purpose. I made myself so clear, he couldn't possibly not know, and he doesn't need my help at all.
She really couldn't accept it. They all had to be incredibly wise and capable. Even if they didn't discover it for a while, she had already explained everything clearly on her two trips to that place. They were capable enough to investigate and do it themselves. What did it mean to always drag her down with them?
For them, having powerful backers means they won't suffer, but for me, a businessman, if I were really in danger, I'd be the first one to be dragged out and beheaded.
Thinking about this makes me even less willing to go.
“Madam Liu is dying, could it be that you…” Tao Yifan came over and grabbed her arm with one hand.
Chen Siyuan wanted to shake him off, but he actually used force secretly. Left with no other choice, she had to agree.
Reluctantly following Tao Yifan to the Tao family home, she sensed something was amiss as soon as she stepped off the carriage.
She subconsciously looked at Tao Yifan.
What exactly does this guy want to do?
She could sense a conspiracy in the air.
Even more tragically, she didn't know if she would lose her life here.
They followed Tao Yifan to Madam Liu's courtyard.
Upon entering, I saw a child crying uncontrollably.
I felt sorry for them, but I didn't know what was going on with the children.
A child separated from his father and watching his mother die must be feeling incredibly sad.
What a terrible thing!
For adults, Chen Siyuan didn't feel anything, but for the child, it was like the sky had fallen. Even if he knew the truth later and knew that he had no choice but to do it, the damage to the child was irreparable for a lifetime.
She went to the child and gently hugged him. "Zhen'er, you're a man, don't cry, okay?"
"Waaaaah—"
“I know Zhen’er is sad. Look at your mother, she will worry about you if you cry like this.” Such a young child may not know many things, but a child should know what 'death' means.
"elder sister......"
"Okay, let's stop crying and go talk to Mom, okay?" Chen Siyuan's voice was very gentle, without the stiffness of an adult's voice, just like a child's.
Madam Liu had been observing Chen Siyuan's behavior ever since she arrived. Seeing that Chen Siyuan was very good to the child and that Zhen'er seemed to be somewhat dependent on her, Madam Liu, as the mother, felt relieved.
She knew in her heart that only by dying could she be temporarily safe, and her son could continue to live.
She knew it was unfair to Chen Siyuan, but she told herself that as long as she survived, she would remember this kindness forever.
Chen Siyuan was unaware of Madam Liu's considerations, and even less aware that she had been put to a test from the moment she appeared.
If Chen Siyuan hadn't looked at the child once or spoken to the child from the moment she entered the room, Mrs. Liu might not have been able to make her final decision.
Chen Siyuan took Zhen'er's hand and led her to the bedside, placing the child's small hand in Madam Liu's palm.
She hopes that as a mother, one should consider the child's needs more, and even in the most difficult times, one should not forget that one is a mother and has the obligation and responsibility to protect one's child from harm.
Even if there are difficult days ahead, as a mother, I will take my child with me.
Unfortunately, Chen Siyuan was not Madam Liu, and she did not know that under double betrayal, her heart held nothing but hatred and the desire for power.
"Mother..." Zhen'er timidly began.
"Zhen'er...do you think your sister is pretty?" Madam Liu said this as if she had used up all her strength. She spat out a mouthful of blood and then gasped for breath.
When Li Ma arrived, she hurriedly wiped the blood with a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more blood appeared, as if all the blood had gushed out and the person had died.
Chen Siyuan stood by and watched. If she didn't know the final outcome, even she would have thought it was all real.
Seeing the small body trembling beside her, she quickly covered his eyes.
What a terrible thing!
Why treat a child like this?
Chen Siyuan didn't want to see their complicated acting behind her. She just wanted to leave this place with her child. As long as she couldn't see it for the time being, she believed that it wouldn't leave a shadow in her child's heart.
Tao Yifan had been standing at the door since he arrived, watching Chen Siyuan's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Chen Siyuan actually took the child out.
This can be considered as fulfilling what Madam Liu said.
Just then, a cry came from inside the house.
"Madam, Madam, wake up!" Li Ma cried out.
