"Sister—" The child seemed to sense being rejected and called out "Sister" before fainting again.
Even so, he still clung to Chen Siyuan's clothes and refused to let go.
Chen Siyuan had no choice. Something big was about to happen here, and if she stayed any longer, she might not be able to leave. She had no choice but to compromise.
She picked up the child and quickly left.
Chunlan and Chunping immediately followed and left.
Once outside, Ren Lu's carriage was parked at the door. Seeing them come out, he stepped forward and explained, "Miss Chen, you'd better leave quickly."
really!
Holy crap!
Damn Tao Yifan, you schemed against me!
Chen Siyuan felt uneasy. As the fire suddenly shot into the sky, she knew something was wrong.
Then the carriage sped away.
Chunlan and Chunping were both skilled in martial arts, and they were startled by the car's speed.
Fortunately, they did not forget their duty and immediately protected Chen Siyuan after realizing what was happening.
This situation did not last long before the carriage gradually slowed down.
Chen Siyuan's heart was unable to find peace for a long time.
Something big is destined to happen tonight, but she gets dragged into it by Tao Yifan.
She couldn't be sure what would happen in the future.
At this moment, she wondered if she should reveal that she was not the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, so that she could distance herself from the Chen family and perhaps prevent them from being implicated.
Why--
That damned Tao Yifan, it's all because of him.
After returning to the Chen family home, Chen Siyuan did not enter through the main gate. Instead, she had Ren Lu drive the carriage through the back gate, while Chunlan jumped in and secretly opened the door. Chen Siyuan then quickly walked in, carrying the child.
Ren Lu left quickly.
Chen Siyuan didn't think about Ren Lu's matter. She had made up her mind that if Tao Yifan didn't handle the aftermath properly, she would make sure the Tao family wouldn't have peace either.
Back at the warm room, they made sure no one had noticed.
Chen Siyuan hadn't figured out what to do with the child.
Originally, they planned to find an opportunity to send the child to Tao Yifan at dawn, but unexpectedly, the child developed a fever that night. Fortunately, Lin Ma, who was by Madam Chen's side, knew medicine. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain that the Chen family suddenly had an extra child.
Chen Siyuan took care of the child all night, and by dawn, the child's temperature had finally come down. Exhausted, Chen Siyuan fell asleep beside the child.
If you didn't know better, you would think this child was your own granddaughter when you saw her.
As I watched, I became very curious about the child.
Where did this child come from, and why does Chen Siyuan care so much about this child?
He glanced at the two maids beside him, gesturing for them to come aside and talk.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"The young lady rescued this child on the street a while ago."
"What? Save her?" Isn't that incredibly dangerous? She didn't even know about this.
"The child's mother is Madam Liu, who now lives in the Tao family. I heard Young Master Tao call Madam Liu, and the child calls Young Master Tao Uncle Tao."
Hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
The day before yesterday, Grandpa Tao came in person, wanting the two children to get married as soon as possible. If another child suddenly appears at this time, it will obviously make his granddaughter's situation awkward.
Hearing this, Old Madam Chen thought a lot.
What should we do if there's suddenly an extra child? For the sake of my granddaughter, it's best to send this child away as soon as possible.
Old Madam Chen stood in the courtyard of the warm residence without uttering a sound until the sun rose.
Tao Yifan arrived.
He saw Old Madam Chen.
I was mentally prepared, but when I actually saw this scene, I was still a little scared.
He bowed to Madam Chen, but she ignored him.
This stalemate lasted for a long time until Chen Siyuan woke up. She was feeling a little hungry and looked for her maid, but the maid was not there. Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, she got up and went outside to check on him.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the gate and seeing the scene in the courtyard, Chen Siyuan rushed over, grabbed Tao Yifan's clothes, and slapped him across the face as he looked up.
Snap—
Old Madam Chen was angry with Tao Yifan, but she didn't expect her granddaughter to react so strongly.
Hitting someone.
She didn't even dare to think about it.
Chunlan, Chunping, and Lin Ma were all taken aback. When they saw the look in Madam Chen's eyes, they immediately left.
Last night, because Chen Siyuan returned with a child, she sent away the maids in the warm room under various pretexts.
Now, in this cozy home, there are only Chen Siyuan, Old Madam Chen, Tao Yifan, and the sleeping child.
Tao Yifan stared at Chen Siyuan for a long time without making a move.
He seemed stunned by the attack and remained motionless for a long time.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he realized she was much better than he had expected.
At that moment, he thought that perhaps Madam Liu was right.
If we entrust Zhen'er to Chen Siyuan, perhaps she can protect the child.
If I were to assist from the sidelines, protecting a child shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking about what he was about to say, he couldn't find his voice for a long time.
The woman in front of me is no ordinary person.
If the Third Prince advances further and sits in that position, then this child is very likely to become the Crown Prince.
With this child, Chen Siyuan's status will rise accordingly.
The plan was good, but he was worried that if things changed, it might implicate the woman.
"Tao Yifan, you know perfectly well what you're doing. What do you mean by dragging me into this? Do you think I'm dying too slowly?" Chen Siyuan roared hoarsely.
After yelling, she cried.
The peace she longed for was now completely out of reach.
Thinking about this, she felt very conflicted.
What's even more worrying is that her situation will implicate the entire Chen family.
Thinking of this, he released Tao Yifan and knelt down in front of Madam Chen with a thud.
"Grandmother, it is your unfilial daughter who asks you to expel me from the Chen family."
"Siyuan—" Old Madam Chen's eyes reddened.
"Grandmother, I beg you." Chen Siyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Tao Yifan was deeply moved when he saw this scene.
After they calmed down a bit, "Actually, there's another way."
"Sister... Sister..." The child suddenly woke up and cried out.
Chen Siyuan and Madam Chen were shocked.
Chen Siyuan wiped away her tears hastily and had just stood up when Zhen'er ran out.
The moment she saw Chen Siyuan, she ran over and hugged her tightly, crying, "Sister, sister..."
Why are you awake?
"I dreamt that my sister didn't want me anymore."
These words made everyone who heard them feel heartbroken.
A child who has just lost his mother, so pitiful.
Chen Siyuan tried her best to control the complicated emotions in her heart and carried the child into the house.
Seeing this, Tao Yifan could only tell the old lady part of the truth, "Old Madam—"
"What exactly happened? Who is this child?"
Tao Yifan confessed, "He is the only son of the Third Prince."
"What?"
"Now in the capital..." Tao Yifan wasn't sure if the old lady could understand him. He stated part of the facts, and finally said, "Old lady, please let Siyuan marry me." With that, Tao Yifan knelt on the ground.
