Chen Siyuan learned about this matter just now from Wang Yong. Qiao Yuchen sent invitations to many people, but not to the General's Mansion.
Was it intentional?
Chen Siyuan was certain that she knew in her heart that sending an invitation today was not an option, nor was not sending one; in short, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Ma followed over and, seeing the young mistress's worried expression, she came to her side and said in a low voice, "Young mistress, why don't you go back and rest first? I'll wait here."
Chen Siyuan sighed, "Aunt Jiang, tell me, did I do something wrong?"
Jiang Ma sighed inwardly; no matter what she did, she was caught in a dilemma.
Qiao Yuchen seemed completely unaffected, while the young mistress had been worried since yesterday. It was unclear what Qiao Yuchen was thinking; it seemed he was deliberately giving the young mistress too much to do, keeping her so busy that she didn't even have a chance to come to the General's Mansion to say hello.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ma grumbled inwardly, but dared not say it aloud.
"Young Madam, the Young General is doing this for your own good."
"I know." It's because my things were stolen and no one has noticed yet, but there's no need to make such a big fuss; it's really not right.
"Alright, I'll wait here a bit longer. You go in first. There will be a lot of people here today, so be careful. If anything happens, come find me." At this crucial time for the housewarming banquet, Chen Siyuan was worried that someone might cause trouble.
She knew clearly what was most crucial.
"Alright, I'll have Chunlan and Chunping come over."
"Um."
Chen Siyuan didn't have much on her mind, and she understood what Jiang Ma meant. She felt that the commotion today was too big, and she didn't know if Madam Qiao would come.
At this moment, he felt a little resentful towards Qiao Yuchen.
Why did she have to move away from that courtyard and come here? She had finally managed to improve her relationship with Madam Qiao, but it turned out like this again. She felt so reluctant to leave.
She has no mother since she can remember. She felt the warmth of a mother in Madam Qiao. She thought it would be like this forever. But now that she has moved away from the General's Mansion, it will not be so convenient for her to see Madam Qiao in the future.
She grumbled inwardly that even if Qiao Yuchen's intentions were good, he had acted too hastily in this matter.
If General Qiao and Madam Qiao treated them badly, Qiao Yuchen, now that he has military merits, should be allowed to establish his own household. What's going on now?
She was both resentful and worried. What should she do if Mrs. Qiao didn't come?
Should we go to the general's mansion immediately to ask for help?
No, it should be an apology.
Amidst a turmoil of complex emotions, just as Chen Siyuan felt she couldn't wait any longer, she suddenly saw a familiar carriage approaching in the distance.
Upon seeing that moment, Chen Siyuan's eyes welled up with tears.
She didn't know who was in the carriage yet, but seeing General Qiao riding beside her, she had a general idea. She quickly went to greet him, bowed to General Qiao who had just dismounted, and said, "Father."
"Hmm." General Qiao glanced at the magnificent mansion.
That damn brat, he even dares to covet this place?
He really deserved a beating, but seeing Chen Siyuan standing there so reserved, he was still secretly satisfied.
So what if that person is arrogant? He still makes the maid in front of him willingly bow and scrape before him.
Upon seeing this, I was extremely satisfied.
Seeing that the carriage hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Siyuan assumed that Madam Qiao hadn't come, so she bowed and asked, "Father, is Mother very busy today?"
I dared not say that I didn't come, so I could only use this euphemistic way of putting it.
Before General Qiao could speak, a familiar cough could be heard from inside the carriage.
"Cough cough—"
Chen Siyuan was taken aback, but quickly smiled and went to the carriage. "Mother—" she said, lifting the carriage curtain. When she saw Madam Qiao sitting inside, her eyes reddened again.
Madam Qiao reached out her hand to Chen Siyuan, who immediately helped her down from the carriage.
"Look at you, you don't know how to take care of yourself." She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Today is a joyous day, let's celebrate!"
"Mmm." Chen Siyuan finally smiled through her tears.
Chunlan and Chunping, who were standing nearby, quickly bowed and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Qiao has arrived. Madam Qiao is not angry, so the young mistress doesn't need to worry this time.
"Are you too tired?" Madam Qiao was still worried about the girl. Now she understood that the distance was very close, and if they wanted to come and see her, they could. Why did she have to look so miserable?
It wouldn't be good if others saw what day it was.
Chen Siyuan has just established her own household. If others see them like this, who knows what they'll say about this girl.
"Ahem!" General Qiao reminded him from the side.
I stood at the door, it would be too late if I didn't go in soon.
We arrived a bit late, and then we got in even later, which wasn't good.
He'd figured out exactly what kind of temper that brat had.
They couldn't let the father and son make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders.
Chen Siyuan quickly understood. She didn't lift her foot, but instead took Madam Qiao's hand and looked at Chunping beside her.
Chunping realized what was happening and quickly ran into the mansion.
To avoid making her actions too obvious, Chen Siyuan pulled Madam Qiao aside and asked, "Mother, they brought gifts when they came, have you forgotten?"
How tactful and pleasant those words are!
General Qiao was stunned.
Is this a request for a gift?
He's really seen something new.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at her and said, "You shameless girl."
"Mother, I just wanted to talk to you more," Qiao Yuchen whispered sweetly as he approached Madam Qiao.
Madam Qiao understood Chen Siyuan, so how could she not understand the girl's intentions? It was precisely because of this that she liked her even more.
This girl is so lovable.
They thought of everything so thoroughly.
Actually, when she saw Chunping leave, she didn't understand why Chen Siyuan was deliberately asking for a gift. Only then did she realize the girl's kindness.
To cooperate, she turned to Zhang Ma beside her and said, "Take out the gift I prepared for the young mistress."
"Thank you, Mother."
Aunt Zhang chuckled to herself. Asking for a gift at the front door was something only the young mistress would do.
Seeing that Madam Qiao was happy and that General Qiao did not seem to mind, she quickly got into the carriage and took out the things.
While busy, I was thinking to myself, thankfully Mrs. Qiao was prepared, otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing for her.
While waiting, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside.
Soon, Qiao Yuchen and his men strode in from inside.
Chen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qiao Yuchen walking ahead.
He understood what I meant even though I didn't say it.
Mrs. Qiao gently patted Chen Siyuan's hand, saying that such gestures were unnecessary.
Seeing how much effort they put in, I felt happy.
General Qiao didn't understand at first, but after seeing Qiao Yuchen, he realized why his daughter-in-law wanted a gift.
He was overjoyed, but he still maintained a haughty demeanor.
Qiao Yuchen came forward, and the people behind him automatically lined up and stood on both sides.
