Chen Zhaokun didn't say anything, but reached out and touched his daughter's hair. She had grown up.
It's not the child we brought home back then.
Seeing his daughter now grown up, he thought of the stubborn woman he once knew.
Thinking of that woman, in the prime of her life, it was precisely because of that confidence that she ultimately lost her life in that place.
He didn't have the ability then, but now he thinks he might have the ability to protect his daughter.
After a long while, once the two had calmed down, Chen Siyuan looked at her father and asked, "Father, do you know my mother? What kind of person was she?"
"Your mother?" This question plunged Chen Zhaokun into memories.
That woman was dazzling; wherever she went, she was the most radiant one.
Unfortunately, I was so insignificant back then that I was never noticed.
Even so, he still secretly kept an eye on many people.
Unfortunately, in his quest to become powerful, he went to the State of Chen, intending to do big business and attract that woman's attention. Who knew that when he returned...
"Father?" Chen Zhaokun remained silent for a long time, thinking that his father, like his grandmother, did not want to tell him.
"Your mother's name is Wen Jingya. She is your maternal grandfather's only daughter."
Chen Siyuan was excited to hear this, but after saying these words, her father fell silent.
This made her very anxious. "What else?"
“There are many things I don’t know. When I came back from Chen State back then…” Thinking of that time, his voice carried a hint of sadness. “I only know that your mother knew the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince, and even the current Minister Su seems to know your mother. It seems that your mother had done a favor for Minister Su back then.”
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Chen Siyuan was stunned for a moment.
My mother is really capable; she knows all the important people in Beijing.
Thinking about it, a crucial point suddenly occurred to her: "Does Mother know anyone from the Tao family?"
Chen Zhaokun shook his head. "I don't know, but I think they should know each other." Chen Siyuan was sent to him by the Tao family back then, but he didn't know the specifics of their relationship.
He had been investigating Wang Jingya's cause of death for years, but no news had come.
He knew this was a secret in the capital, and that someone was deliberately hiding it, which was why he hadn't gotten any results for so many years.
Chen Zhaokun revealed a secret he had kept for many years, and his feelings were quite complicated.
Soon after, Chen Zhaokun left.
As Chen Siyuan watched her father's departing figure, she was surprised to find that he was lonely at that moment.
Thinking of his mother, Madam Chen, and Aunt Zhao, he realized that his father was now without a single woman by his side.
Do fathers today also need a woman they can confide in?
Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan fell silent.
When Chunlan and Chunping saw the master leave, they brought their child in. Seeing Chen Siyuan's appearance, neither of them said a word.
Even after the lamp was lit, and Zhen'er was practicing calligraphy beside her, Chen Siyuan didn't move an inch.
The chirping of insects came from outside, making it far from quiet.
"Sister, I'm hungry."
When the child's voice rang out, Chen Siyuan finally moved.
"Zhen'er—"
"Sister, I'm hungry."
Chen Siyuan looked at Chunlan and Chunping, "How are you taking care of Zhen'er?"
The two maids felt wronged, but they couldn't say anything and could only quickly get busy.
Not long after, the food was served.
Chen Siyuan and Zhen'er started eating.
After dinner, Chen Siyuan took the child's hand and went to chat in the yard. "Zhen'er, I never knew your name. Can you tell me?"
The child leaned close to Chen Siyuan's ear and whispered, "Shang Zizhen, Mother said we can't tell anyone. My sister isn't just anyone, she can..." As she spoke, the child's eyes reddened and her voice choked with emotion.
Seeing the young child in front of her, who was clearly sad but trying hard to suppress his emotions, Chen Siyuan felt a pang of pity. She reached out and picked him up, pointing to the stars in the sky, "Everyone will eventually become a star in the sky, and there are many stars in the sky that are silently watching over you."
"Really?" Shang Zizhen's eyes were red, and she felt wronged, but she forced herself to become stronger.
"Of course, your sister wouldn't lie to you."
Shang Zizhen stared wide-eyed at the stars in the sky, "Which star is watching me?"
"All the stars?"
"ah?"
Chunlan and Chunping remained silent.
How could you lie to a child?
Chen Siyuan, however, didn't feel that way. She was addicted to talking to the child. She felt that it was great to be able to chat with a child without being caught.
The two chatted and joked for a long time until the child fell asleep in Chen Siyuan's arms. She then carried the child to the bed.
Cover the child with a blanket and go outside.
Chunlan and Chunping knew that the young lady had something to say, so they followed her outside.
"A lot of things have happened around us, and there will always be a result, but we can't let anything happen to this child."
"What does the young lady mean?"
"Keep your eyes wide open. No matter who comes near here, keep your eyes wide open and don't miss any possibility, even if they are people you know."
"yes."
"yes."
"You two stay here and keep watch, I'm going to take care of something."
“Young Miss, I will go with you.” Chunlan stepped forward.
How could we let the young lady go out alone at such a critical time?
"It's alright, I'll bring Wang Li with me."
Wang Li, who had been hiding in the shadows, heard this and instantly appeared beside him.
Seeing this, Chunlan and Chunping stopped insisting.
They simply watched them leave in silence.
After leaving the Chen family, Chen Siyuan headed straight for the village in the suburbs.
The city gates were already closed, and as far as Chen Siyuan was concerned, as long as Wang Li, a master, was there, there would be no danger. Once outside the city, they quickly rode away on horseback.
It's only a short half-day's journey by carriage from here to Zhuangzi, and riding a horse will shorten the time.
Recently, a lot has happened around Chen Siyuan. She has never been at ease with Aunt Zhao and has been keeping an eye on her with Wang Li.
When she discovered that her jade pendant had been stolen, she knew something was wrong.
Later, it was found in a pawn shop. Such a coincidence should not be taken lightly by Chen Siyuan.
No sooner had Madam Liu moved into her own courtyard than the land deed, which had been missing for several days, suddenly reappeared. She felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this.
If Chen Xin had already made connections with people in Beijing by this time, it would put her in a passive position.
She planned to use the crown prince to protect those around her; the cancerous elements around her could not be allowed to remain.
most......
The dead have no chance to speak.
Chen Siyuan came in person to confirm something.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan's body was very tense, like a sharp sword piercing the night.
Wang Li felt heartbroken seeing his young mistress all alone.
He has already notified the Wen family and believes those people are on their way.
