"You..." Madam Jiang's face paled slightly.
"I've seen Miss Jiang frequently these past few days. She keeps crying and complaining to me, saying she keeps trying to talk to Madam Jiang, but for some reason, Madam Jiang seems unable to hear her. She's done some things for you, but Madam Jiang..."
Madam Jiang turned pale with fright and grabbed a nearby tree to steady herself.
Several strange things have happened around me recently. Could it really be the vengeful spirit of my daughter?
"Alright, sister-in-law, stop scaring Madam Jiang. How could there be ghosts in this world!" He deliberately emphasized the word "ghost" to clearly see the panic and fear in Madam Jiang's eyes.
Chen Siyuan glanced at her. "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean everyone can't see it. Miss Jiang and Madam Jiang are connected by heart, so they can see it. I don't know why Miss Jiang keeps trying to talk to Madam Jiang, but she can't see her. I think there must be something on someone who shouldn't be there. Otherwise, why hasn't Miss Jiang reincarnated yet, even after all this time, and instead keeps bothering Madam Jiang?"
The words were directed at Qiao Zhen. Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Qiao Zhen and Chen Siyuan exchanged a glance.
Qiao Zhen left quickly, and Chen Siyuan called out Wang Li, asking him to take Madam Jiang back to the De'an Marquis's residence.
If it weren't for her son, Madam Jiang wouldn't be alive today.
When Chen Siyuan returned to the banquet, she continued to busy herself, displaying the demeanor of a hostess and absolute respect for Madam Qiao.
Even though he had already paid attention to many things, he would still deliberately ask Mrs. Qiao for advice.
Madam Qiao knew what the girl was thinking, and she taught her with all her heart.
Such a scene takes on a different meaning in the eyes of others.
But no one dared to say anything.
The emperor arrived briefly and left quickly.
When they left, a large number of rewards were sent to the general's mansion, supposedly to celebrate his move.
Everyone watched with envy, but there was nothing they could do.
Qiao Yuchen led everyone to continue drinking, while Chen Siyuan gradually went to the backyard to invite the many women to admire the flowers.
There happened to be a patch of jasmine flowers in the backyard, which were in full bloom. Chen Siyuan had tea and snacks prepared to entertain them under the trees.
At first, many people thought that Chen Siyuan was just a person from a small place and was indeed not up to par. But when they saw the jasmine petals falling in the breeze, they were all dazzled.
What a nice view!
Chen Siyuan caught a petal, smelled it, and then playfully offered it to Madam Qiao, saying, "Mother, smell it, it smells so good!"
Mrs. Qiao smiled and glanced at her, then leaned closer to smell her. "You really know how to have fun." Although it was a slightly disdainful remark, the smile on Mrs. Qiao's lips made them seem to see a mother and daughter who were completely uninhibited.
"I'll collect some flower petals to make pastries another day. I'm sure they'll taste great then."
"You still love to eat!" Mrs. Qiao seemed to be infected by the joy, and even her usual caution disappeared at this moment.
"Madam Qiao is so blessed!" A noblewoman stepped forward and said to Madam Qiao.
Chen Siyuan looked over and saw that it was the Third Princess Tao Jingmei, who was also Tao Yifan's aunt.
It's normal to see her on this occasion; they only exchanged a few polite words at the beginning, and I didn't expect her to take the initiative to speak to me.
"This humble servant greets the Third Princess Consort."
The Third Princess looked at Chen Siyuan, who was originally her niece-in-law but had become someone else's daughter-in-law.
She was a little envious of what she just witnessed, which is why she couldn't help but speak.
"Young Madam, there's no need for such formalities!" The Third Princess Consort offered a slight gesture of support.
"Yes." Chen Siyuan took the opportunity to stand up and quietly stood in front of Madam Qiao.
"Mrs. Qiao is very fortunate."
Mrs. Qiao smiled gently, "It's because this child is sensible."
"Doesn't Madam Qiao think...?" The Third Princess glanced around.
This is precisely why Mrs. Joe arrived.
Noticing the stares from those around her, she calmly replied, "I think this courtyard is very nice."
"It's beautiful!"
Chen Siyuan stood quietly to the side, behaving like a dutiful young wife, keeping a low profile and maintaining a calm demeanor regardless of how others looked at her.
These ladies speak with great erudition; she remains silent.
I hadn't directly met the Third Princess Consort in my previous life, but we did meet at the same banquet. The Third Princess Consort had a good reputation, but I knew that someone without brains wouldn't be able to manage the Third Prince's mansion so well and keep it from causing any trouble.
We cannot treat the Third Princess Consort the same way we treat the ignorant Madam Jiang; it's best to be more cautious in everything we do.
If, on this occasion, the Third Princess were to inadvertently reveal that she and Tao Yifan had a past engagement, even if she hadn't done much wrong, the mere fact that someone mentioned it would inevitably cause her considerable trouble.
Adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid trouble, she continued to listen and watch, becoming a beautiful part of the scenery.
The women were having a lively time, while the men were drinking quite quickly as well.
Just as the Third Princess Consort was about to continue talking to Madam Qiao, the Fifth Princess Consort arrived and repeatedly interrupted her by addressing her as "Third Sister-in-law."
The Third Princess was clearly unwilling, but due to her status, she could not express her displeasure openly.
When the Third Princess couldn't see, she winked at Chen Siyuan a few times.
Because of the angle, Mrs. Joe saw the interaction between the two of them.
Gradually, a large number of people gathered here.
As more and more people gathered, they started chatting amongst themselves, creating a lively atmosphere.
Later, they gradually split into two circles.
The younger ones are in Chen Siyuan's circle, while the slightly older ones are in Mrs. Qiao's circle.
