Chen Siyuan and Qiao Yuchen returned to the General's Mansion.
Once inside, after dismissing the maids, Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen and asked the sensitive question, "Yuchen, do you really trust him that much?"
He was clearly the seventh prince.
"What do you mean?" Qiao Yuchen never wanted to discuss matters of the court with women, and she never asked him any questions. But today's words were too sharp, making him begin to have doubts.
"To be honest, you think you know Qin Chu better than the third and seventh brothers. Without you, the seventh brother wouldn't be where he is today. He is capable, but he is not steady enough and his vision is not broad enough."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Yuchen shouted.
Chen Siyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to confess at this moment.
"Qiao Yuchen, have you never thought about why I am different from my peers?"
Qiao Yuchen looked at Chen Siyuan, wondering what she wanted to say.
"You should have sent someone to investigate. Didn't you notice that I changed a lot in Nancheng? Didn't you notice that the me you investigated is completely different from the me you know?"
Qiao Yuchen acknowledged this statement.
I did investigate Chen Siyuan, and as she said, she had changed a lot before and after.
"Actually, I have died once. In my previous life, I died five years later in the autumn. At that time, I was framed for treason. I don't know what happened. I was beheaded. When I opened my eyes, I found that I had returned to the beginning of the mistake."
"Nonsense." Qiao Yuchen denied such absurd claims.
Chen Siyuan seemed startled by the sudden shout. A picture suddenly appeared in her mind, and she looked at Qiao Yuchen with wide eyes.
She hurriedly began, "I clearly remember that in my past life, Seventh Brother seemed to have won, but because he fell from his horse and became lame, that's why..."
"Enough!"
This was the first time Qiao Yuchen had ever been angry with Chen Siyuan. Along with his anger came a torrent of fury, and many things in the room were completely destroyed.
Chen Siyuan stood rooted to the spot, watching the crazed Qiao Yuchen, and uttered her final words, "What I wanted to say was that in the past life, the third brother sat in that position, and that child just now became..."
"Shut up!" Qiao Yuchen said, and as he strode away, the door, which had been perfectly fine, was knocked to the ground with a bang as he passed by.
Chunlan and Chunping had never seen Qiao Yuchen like this before, and it frightened them.
They were even more worried about Chen Siyuan.
Fortunately, despite the mess inside the house, Chen Siyuan was unharmed.
Chen Siyuan truly didn't care what others thought of her; she did indeed smile as she looked at the dilapidated door.
Having finally said some things, she felt much lighter.
After falling in love with someone, even though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but make plans for the future.
She wanted to help Qiao Yuchen out of his predicament, and no matter who became emperor, she wouldn't let them lose their lives.
Even though she knew perfectly well who Qiao Yuchen supported, she still risked getting involved, just so that the people she cared about could live.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan knew very well.
The Third Prince's power base is already solid, and with Qiao Yuchen's connection, it's impossible to curry favor with him now. It would be better to focus on a child.
Is she selfish?
They actually used a child?
She didn't think so. From the moment she was reborn, she knew she wanted to protect her family. It's just that now she includes Qiao Yuchen in her family as well.
......
Not long after moving to the new general's mansion, Chen Siyuan and Qiao Yuchen began a cold war because of this matter.
Jiang's mother tried several times to persuade Chen Siyuan to learn to humble herself, and at least not to throw a tantrum at a man at this time.
It's not good for either of them.
Unfortunately, Chen Siyuan didn't give Jiang Ma a chance to speak; she was busy all day long, as if she always had something to do.
Since the argument that day, Qiao Yuchen has been leaving early and returning late, and he always rests in the study when he comes back.
Chen Siyuan and Qiao Yuchen lived under the same roof, but unfortunately, they never met again.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and the once quiet capital city seemed to have changed somewhat.
I don't know why, but I always feel like something's off about this atmosphere.
That day, Chen Siyuan originally planned to go to Nanguan Street. Just as she stepped out of the gate of the new general's mansion, she saw Steward Wang suddenly appear not far away.
Butler Wang is the Wen family's butler, so why is he here?
Still standing outside the gate of the new general's mansion.
Thinking about this, she couldn't stay calm.
Looking from a distance, Butler Wang said something to her, not loudly, but Chen Siyuan still understood what he meant.
She boarded the carriage, which initially headed towards Nanguan Street. However, just as they were about to reach Nanguan Street, Chen Siyuan instructed Wang Li to turn around and go to the Wen family's residence.
Chunlan and Chunping, who were sitting in the car together, didn't know what was going on, but because Qiao Yuchen and the young mistress had been having some tension lately, they assumed that he was going to seek advice from Old Master Wen.
The carriage arrived at the Wen family's house quickly.
After Chen Siyuan got off the carriage, she instructed Wang Li to immediately drive the carriage to Nanguan Street.
Wang Li said nothing and, as always, headed towards Nanguan Street.
Chen Siyuan led Chunlan and Chunping directly to Fuyuan.
When they arrived, Butler Wang was already waiting at the door.
Seeing this, Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that her grandfather found out about her relationship with Qiao Yuchen?
Thinking about this, it seems to be the only possibility.
Feeling very nervous, she walked to the door and glanced at Butler Wang, who shook his head slightly at her.
Chen Siyuan was even less certain.
What could it be that even Butler Wang doesn't know?
Just then, I heard my grandfather's deep voice.
"Come in!"
Chen Siyuan was startled. She was prepared to be criticized, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in.
When she saw Steward Wang at the entrance of the new general's mansion, she knew something was wrong. She had thought about many things on the way there, but now that she was at the entrance, thinking about anything was unnecessary. So she simply stepped inside.
Grandpa—
"close the door."
Chen Siyuan turned to look at Chunlan and Chunping outside the door, indicating that they didn't need to worry.
"What kind of behavior is this, dawdling like that!"
Wen Tonghai's disdainful voice rang out again.
Chen Siyuan quickened her pace and went into the inner room, where she saw her grandfather painting.
At first glance, it turned out to be a grove of bamboo.
Bamboo should be a symbol of beauty, so why did she see heaviness on her grandfather's face?
"Grandpa," Chen Siyuan said cautiously as she approached him.
"I heard you angered the young general?" Wen Tonghai was still painting bamboo, his hand not lifting, and the words came out naturally.
The voice didn't betray any anger or resentment. Hearing this, Chen Siyuan felt slightly relieved. So that's why; she could explain it.
“Grandpa, actually I…” As he was speaking, Wen Tonghai suddenly put down his calligraphy brush and looked at himself.
"Yes? Or no?"
