The Three Princes' Palace.
The Third Princess cried until midnight, but the Third Prince didn't care at all. He simply rested with the newly arrived concubines.
Later, the Third Princess gritted her teeth and simply invited an opera troupe in the middle of the night to watch a play all night long.
......
The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
When the Fifth Princess returned to the Fifth Prince's residence, she didn't even glance at the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince seemed to ignore her as well.
The two, who were inseparable, suddenly changed their personalities, which puzzled many of the maids.
That night, some of the maids thought they had a chance and climbed directly into the Fifth Prince's bed.
As a result, he died in the arms of the Fifth Prince the next morning.
People say it was the Fifth Princess who did it, but the Fifth Princess was sleeping the whole time and didn't even know that the maid had secretly climbed into her bed. How could the Fifth Princess be blamed for the death?
...
The Prince of Qi's Mansion.
Miss Qi Hong fell into the water again, in the same place and under the same circumstances. After half the night of turmoil, it was only thanks to Chen Xin, who was supposed to be in the villa, arriving with a doctor that Qi Hong's life was saved.
Princess Qi was so angry when she saw Chen Xin that she gritted her teeth and wished she could tear him to pieces.
When Prince Qi returned, without any explanation, he immediately kicked Chen Xin out.
Princess Qi was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Prince Qi initially cared about Chen Xin, so why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Princess Qi didn't know what was going on. Later, she heard that Prince Qi had actually ordered the steward that Chen Xin was not allowed to set foot in the Prince Qi's residence again.
Princess Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this news.
I don't know why, but it's obviously a good thing.
Seeing her eldest daughter, who had narrowly escaped death, she felt a pang of guilt; her eldest daughter had suffered so much this time.
......
Tao family.
Tao Yifan's mother died in the other courtyard.
Madam Tao was considered the matriarch of the household, yet she died just like that, and neither Master Tao nor Tao Zhilu, who were far away on the frontier, returned.
The funeral was relatively simple.
Madam Tao was buried in the Tao family cemetery.
Tao Yifan knelt at the grave for two whole days, neither eating nor drinking, and even skipping the morning court session.
It was only thanks to the Third Prince's help in covering for them that they didn't anger the Emperor.
......
Chen Siyuan finally finished her work at the General's Mansion and put everything aside. It was five days later when she left the General's Mansion.
Chen Siyuan walked on the long-missed streets, feeling very happy.
She felt that the weather was colder now, which seemed to confirm what had happened in the past few days.
Chunlan, who was standing beside her, noticed that the young mistress seemed no different and asked cautiously, "Young mistress, why aren't you sad?"
"I'm sad, why?" Chen Siyuan said, still staring at the vendors on both sides of the street. She felt that since she hadn't been out for a few days, there were more vendors, and some novel little items were appearing.
"Madam Tao... is dead."
"You mean Madam Tao?" Chen Siyuan said with a sigh, "It's such a pity that she passed away at such a young age."
Chunlan was stunned. Why did she feel that Chen Siyuan was gloating?
"Young Madam, you?"
"It's alright, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I absolutely cannot set off firecrackers to celebrate at this time."
Chunlan was completely dumbfounded; she had lost the ability to speak.
Chunping knew what someone meant, but said nothing and quickly followed Chen Siyuan's steps.
"Young Madam, you like these things too?" Chunping quickly followed and asked Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan was standing in front of a vendor, and she was buying a crystal bag.
It turns out this dish wasn't available in the capital. Its sudden appearance reminded Chen Siyuan of something she had eaten on the streets of Huzhou.
She didn't think that someone had seen the business opportunity in the capital so quickly; on the contrary, she felt that something was amiss.
She bought several crystal bags without answering Chunping's question.
After passing several vendors, I bought a lot of things and carried them towards Nanguan Street.
She entered the shop through the back door, not in a hurry to eat what she had bought, but simply laid the items out in front of her and examined them carefully.
Chunlan and Chunping didn't know why Chen Siyuan's expression suddenly changed, but judging from the situation, it didn't seem good.
Not long after, Wang Li rushed in from outside, "Young Madam, Su's Pastry Shop is closed."
When did this happen?
"today."
"I understand." Chen Siyuan looked at Wang Li. "Anything else?"
"Princess Qiya fell from her horse and was carried into the palace covered in blood." Wang Li told what he knew.
Chen Siyuan suddenly remembered what Qiao Zhen had once said: there was no need for her to do it herself.
"And what about Madam Jiang?"
"He's sick, and they say he's contagious. He's currently in his own yard and won't let anyone near him."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Siyuan knew that Qiao Yuchen was behind Madam Jiang's actions, and as for Princess Qiya, it was still uncertain, but she knew that Qiao Zhen should know who it was.
Chen Siyuan didn't pay too much attention and continued to draw blueprints.
During this period, Madam Jiang's shop had a significant impact on business on Nanguan Street. Originally, there were plans to close the shop and investigate the matter. However, with the successive incidents involving Madam Jiang and Princess Qiya, the threat to business on Nanguan Street has been temporarily relieved.
Chen Siyuan had a very fulfilling morning.
Even lunch was bought by Chunlan from outside and they ate together.
After finishing our meal, we continued with our work.
When Chen Siyuan felt tired, she realized it was already evening.
Looking at the sunset outside, Chen Siyuan once again saw the things she had bought placed not far away.
