"Yes. We've reached Chen Fan's side now, but we haven't gotten close yet," Wang Li said, bowing his head.
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment, "No rush." As long as someone is good-looking, they'll be noticed sooner or later.
Unfortunately, she couldn't know Chen Fan's specific movements, which put her at a disadvantage.
Thinking about it, he glanced at the village.
Life here seems simple, but it also brings Aunt Zhao a lot of convenience.
Thinking about this makes me feel uncomfortable.
She whispered something in Wang Li's ear, and Wang Li left shortly afterward.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wang Li returned.
Chen Siyuan stood still, and when she heard the commotion coming from the village, she smiled.
Soon, Zhuangzi became lively.
The kitchen is flooded.
This is a minor matter; tonight's wind direction could very well blow the flames to the wrong place.
Sure enough, after a while, Aunt Zhao's courtyard caught fire.
Chen Siyuan left with Wang Li.
Back at the Chen family home, it was still dark, so they could sleep a little longer.
Chen Siyuan fell asleep quickly; the fire at the villa had indeed burned for half the night.
The entire kitchen and the courtyard where Aunt Zhao lived were burned down.
The Chen family received the news at noon, just as Cheng Siyuan woke up from a nap.
Hearing the chaotic scene outside, Chunlan quickly told them what had happened.
Chen Siyuan wanted to go see what was going on.
Soon, he arrived at Xia Residence with two maids.
At this moment, Chen Xin was kneeling on the ground, vividly recounting the tragic events that had occurred at the villa.
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face; she truly seemed to be Aunt Zhao's good daughter.
Chen Siyuan paused for a while, getting the gist of it. She then noticed her grandmother frowning and her father remaining silent, recalling what she had overheard the previous night.
Does Aunt Zhao want to come back?
But what Aunt Zhao said was clearly not the case.
I felt there was something wrong with this. If Aunt Zhao wanted to use this opportunity to travel back and forth, it would be reasonable.
Judging from Chen Xin's appearance, he didn't seem to have much scheming. Thinking this, he glanced at Chunlan beside him.
Chunlan left quickly.
Chen Siyuan walked over and said, "What's wrong? Crying so early in the morning, anyone who doesn't know better would think someone's dead."
"Chen Siyuan, how cruel you are to curse your mother to die?"
"My mother passed away long ago. Has my half-sister lost her mind and forgotten this?" This only fueled her anger, reminding her of what she'd heard the night before.
"Grandmother, look at my sister, Mother..." Chen Xin seemed unable to reason with her and could only turn to Old Madam Chen for help.
"Xin'er, your mother passed away many years ago. How could you forget that?" Old Madam Chen asked.
A single sentence carries sufficient authority.
The surroundings fell silent instantly.
Chen Xin suddenly felt that he had lost Aunt Zhao, and that she was always the one being bullied.
Thinking about it, she felt resentful and could only change her words immediately, "Xin'er was wrong. She was too excited and didn't understand. Grandmother, please forgive Aunt. She knows she was wrong. Now that the house has been burned down, it is very inconvenient for Aunt to live on the estate."
"What? The estate was burned down? It must be worth a lot of money, right?" Chen Siyuan asked again.
"Sister, that's not the point, okay?" Chen Xin knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth.
She said so much, but her grandmother and father didn't react at all. What was she doing, making things worse?
"Does my half-sister mean that Aunt Zhao burned down the house herself in order to come back?" Chen Siyuan asked rhetorically.
Those around them seemed to agree with what he said.
This happened right after the master returned; it's too much of a coincidence. They all know Aunt Zhao's temper.
It's obvious. I felt sorry for Aunt Zhao just now, but now it's not like that at all.
"Cheng Feng——"
Butler Cheng immediately stepped forward, "Master—"
"Send two people to see what's going on and find someone to fix the house."
"Yes." Butler Cheng acknowledged the order and left.
Chen Xin knelt on the ground, dumbfounded. Was this the result of all her crying for so long?
She felt even more resentful, all because of Chen Siyuan's appearance. If it weren't for that, Aunt Zhao would definitely have come back.
Despite causing such a commotion, it was resolved just like that. Later, Old Madam Chen took Chen Siyuan's hand and went straight into the house.
He was saying some words of concern.
Chen Xin was still kneeling on the ground when she saw her father about to leave. She got up and chased after him, saying, "Father, can't we let Auntie come back and stay for a few days until the house is repaired?"
Chen Zhaokun looked at his woman, whose disheveled appearance was heartbreaking, but when he thought of what his grandmother had said last night, he felt a chill in his heart.
Indeed, children are not always the best for their own parents.
"Too many things have happened at home recently, is it not appropriate for her to come back now?"
"Father--"
"Things in Yuan'er's room have been stolen one after another. What are your thoughts on this?"
Chen Zhaokun's words left Chen Xin speechless. She had done many of the things, and she thought that since nothing had happened over the long period of time, everything was over. But her father's sudden mention of it made her feel a little scared.
Chen Zhaokun, having been through similar experiences, saw the look in his daughter's eyes and understood the situation, feeling mostly disappointed.
He was truly disappointed that they had brought so much trouble to the Chen family and still hadn't shown any remorse.
......
Chen Xin returned to her courtyard in a disheveled state. The way people looked at her almost drove her crazy.
She never imagined that after a lifetime of glory in this family, she would be so cruelly harmed by that bitch Chen Siyuan at such a crucial moment.
