Chen Siyuan and Wang Li arrived at the village around midnight. At this time, everyone who had nothing to do was asleep, and those who were still awake were busy with important matters.
When Chen Siyuan and Wang Li arrived, they stopped their horses a short distance away. With Wang Li's help, they climbed over the wall again and entered.
She stood up. Given Chen Siyuan's current status in the Chen family, she didn't need to do this. Naturally, many people would be willing to do things for her. However, Chen Siyuan didn't want to.
There are many things that the fewer people who know them, the better.
She's here to 'see' Aunt Zhao today; there's no need to disturb too many people.
I could see Aunt Zhao's courtyard in the distance; the lights inside were still on.
Still not asleep at this hour? Must be very busy!
They quietly approached the house and heard sounds coming from inside.
"Madam, these are the account books that have just been delivered." Xia Zhu brought the account books to her.
"Hmm, why is it delivered so late today?" Aunt Zhao began to look at the account book, expressing her dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the people who were doing the work.
"I'm not sure, Xia Xiu has already checked."
"That's good. Keep a close eye on them."
"yes."
"Is all the money I was asked to prepare ready?"
"It's still missing one thing."
Snap—
Aunt Zhao was furious. "What time is it? We're still short of funds? How can this be allowed?" In her anger, she threw the account book on the ground.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xia Zhu knelt on the ground with a thud. "This servant did not expect the young lady to target the cloth shop. Our people dare not make a move for the time being."
"I dare not move. Will I die if I move even a little?" Since arriving at the manor, Aunt Zhao has found it inconvenient to do anything, which has greatly troubled her.
If it weren't for the people she'd planted over the years, she and her children would probably be starving by now.
The thought of this only fueled her resentment towards Chen Siyuan.
Thinking about this, I wondered, "How do you do things?"
"This servant deserves to die." Xia Zhu was also afraid.
That day, he clearly ran over Chen Siyuan and killed her, but unexpectedly, someone appeared, the plan failed, and he was punished. He still hasn't fully recovered.
"Fool!" Aunt Zhao kicked him angrily.
"Auntie—" Xia Zhu knew she had done a bad job, so she prostrated herself on the ground, hoping to atone for her mistake.
Aunt Zhao got up and walked angrily into the room, stepping on Xia Zhu's kneeling hand every time she passed by.
After several times, Xia Zhu, whose body was not yet fully recovered, started sweating from the pain on her forehead. Later, she seemed to be able to bear it and let out a cry.
Aunt Zhao was annoyed and kicked Xia Zhu away.
He crashed into the wall next to him and coughed up a mouthful of blood the moment he hit the ground.
"Useless thing."
Chen Sihou watched from outside, shocked. She had no idea that Aunt Zhao possessed martial arts skills.
Judging from the situation just now, Xia Zhu is probably not going to make it.
Thinking back to when Xia Zhu was sitting in the carriage, intending to run him over, he felt that the man deserved it.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but wonder if Xia Zhu, who had been by Aunt Zhao's side for so many years, knew something.
Having already decided to kill, Chen Siyuan tried her best to control herself and postpone the action.
Just as Chen Siyuan was trying to control her emotions, she heard a sentence coming from inside, and her whole body instantly turned ice cold.
"Why should Mother be angry? Back then, you were able to get rid of that bitch Xiangmei without anyone noticing. Why bother with that little bitch Chen Siyuan!" Chen Fan suddenly appeared.
If they hadn't been guarding outside, they would have all thought that Chen Fan had walked in right under their noses.
There is a secret passage in this place.
What they found even more unacceptable was that Xiangmei, who was Madam Chen, had died of illness back then. Hearing what they were saying, they finally understood that Madam Chen had not simply died of illness, but that it was the good deed done by this mother and son.
But Chen Fan was only a few years old back then, how could he...?
Just as Chen Siyuan was feeling surprised, they witnessed an even more astonishing scene.
Xia Zhu, who had been lying unconscious in the corner, let out a bloodcurdling scream as Chen Fan approached, but the sound quickly disappeared.
Chen Siyuan clearly saw that Xia Zhu's body suddenly emitted a puff of white smoke, and soon she disappeared, leaving only a puddle of water. Even the water quickly seeped into the ground and disappeared.
Bone-dissolving liquid?
Chen Siyuan was very shocked.
They were so vicious, and what's even more unacceptable is the calm demeanor of Aunt Zhao and Chen Fan, suggesting they've done similar things many times before.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan felt a chill run down her spine.
Aunt Zhao looked at the maid who had served her for so many years, who had died without leaving a trace. She felt nothing; what worried her more was the big event at hand.
"Let's not talk about that now. How's your situation going?"
Hearing this, Chen Fan laughed, a rather chilling laugh, "You don't trust your son to handle things?"
Aunt Zhao smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, then we'll go to the capital together."
"Okay, everything over there is ready, we're just waiting for Mother..."
"I'll be there soon too."
"I heard Father is back?" Chen Fan thought for a moment, then said what he knew.
"He's back?" Aunt Zhao's emotions were somewhat fluctuating, which she hid very well, but her sharp-eyed son still noticed.
"Mother, you can't let go of her, can you?"
"This..." After all, they had been husband and wife for many years. If it weren't for that bitch Chen Siyuan changing later, she wouldn't have become like this. Recently, Chen Zhaokun hadn't been at the Chen family home, and he was unaware of many things.
"Mother, do you think that person would...?"
Chen Fan's reminder startled Aunt Zhao. "I understand. I'll handle things here properly. You, on the other hand, can't let me down at crucial moments."
