The Chen family.
Chen Siyuan and Shang Zizhen ate their breakfast at a leisurely pace.
Chunlan and Chunping were extremely anxious.
Lin Ma had been waiting for a long time, but the young lady wasn't in a hurry, so there was nothing she could do.
The old lady was still waiting for a reply, and judging from the situation, the young lady had no intention of going.
He sighed inwardly.
The old lady takes today's poetry gathering very seriously.
Thinking of this, she forced herself to speak, "Miss, the old lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Siyuan glanced at Lin Ma, "No rush." It seems she has no choice but to go.
Her older brother and grandmother both wanted her to go, so she decided to go.
Thinking of this, seeing that Shang Zizhen had finished eating, he asked, "Are you done eating?"
"Um."
"Want to go out and have some fun?"
Shang Zi really wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to.
"Young Miss, are you trying to make the old lady faint?" Lin Ma immediately put on a bitter face.
It would be terrible if word got out that the young lady had a child with her.
She looked at the young lady with a mournful expression. Even if she didn't want to go, she could have just said so. Why use a child as an excuse?
"Sister, can't I see anyone?" Shang Zizhen was a little uneasy. He had been staying in this courtyard and had never gone out. After experiencing some changes, he had seen many things.
"Who said that? I pulled out her tongue."
"Sister—" Shang Zizhen cried with excitement.
"Look at you, you're still crying." Chen Siyuan wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief. "We made a promise that it's okay for you to cry in front of me, but you can't shed a single tear in front of others."
"Why?" Shang Zizhen asked, her eyes bloodshot.
"Because I'm your older sister!" Chen Siyuan said with an air of pride.
Chunlan, Chunping, and Lin's mother were speechless.
This is their young lady.
She may lack real skills, but when it comes to arguing and making a scene, no one can compare to the young lady.
"Okay, I'll only cry in front of my sister from now on." With that, Shang Zizhen rushed into Chen Siyuan's arms and burst into tears.
Chunlan, Chunping, and Lin Ma were all in a panic. What was going on? Why did she suddenly start crying?
Chen Siyuan gently patted his back without saying anything until Shang Zizhen cried himself to sleep in her arms. Chen Siyuan then carried the child into the inner hall.
She placed him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and held his little hand in hers. "Yuzhen, I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
"Young Miss—" Chunlan reminded her from the side.
Chen Siyuan glanced at her and said, "It's nothing. I just took him to the mountains to catch birds."
The spring orchid remained silent.
If the young lady is capable of doing something like this, it's probably not a good idea to involve a distinguished young master.
These days, even the young lady gives up her private room to this young master, and she goes to the side room next door.
This is enough to show that the young master's identity is not simple.
Chen Siyuan, unaware of their thoughts, took a close look at the child, instructed Chunping to stay and take care of the child, and told Chunlan to leave with her.
While changing her clothes, Chen Siyuan glanced at the colorful clothes her older brother had brought her yesterday.
She couldn't bear to wear it.
After hesitating for a moment, I chose a brightly colored dress to wear.
Then he took Chunlan to see his grandmother.
Lin's mother followed behind, shaking her head and sighing. It was too easy for Miss Chen to go out.
She saw Chen Xin, dressed in formal attire, leave when she arrived.
The stark contrast made one think that Chen Xin was the legitimate son of the Chen family.
When they arrived at the warm house, Old Madam Chen almost fainted from anger when she saw what her granddaughter was wearing.
It was too late, so we had to leave.
After Chen Siyuan left the Chen family, she immediately left by carriage, while Old Madam Chen sighed at home.
Is her granddaughter trying to anger her to death?
As Chen Siyuan left the Chen family's house, she kept sneezing.
One after another, without stopping.
Chunlan watched anxiously from the sidelines, but there was nothing she could do.
Chen Siyuan remained calm, saying, "It's alright, things will be fine once Grandma stops nagging me."
The spring orchid remained silent.
He has some self-awareness.
If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have been much better to have listened to them. Instead, I made myself look so bad.
Actually, Chen Siyuan wasn't bad-looking today; she was dressed similarly to her usual self. However, this made her look quite different from a woman dressed up in formal attire, which was why the old lady sighed.
It was already quite late, and most of the people who were going had already left, so the roads weren't too congested.
In order to save time, Wang Li drove the carriage a bit fast. When they passed an intersection, a child suddenly ran out. In order to avoid the child, the carriage crashed into a stall next to it.
Wang Li tried to negotiate with the stall owner, but to no avail. Seeing Wang Li's awkwardness with words, Chunlan followed him off the carriage.
After they finished dealing with the matter and got back into the carriage, they discovered that Chen Siyuan was gone.
What's going on?
Did the young lady get impatient and leave on her own?
"Impossible, this place is far from the poetry gathering, and besides, Miss..." Chunlan thought, when she suddenly saw the hairpin that had fallen into the carriage.
Chunlan was startled.
A sense of foreboding washed over her, and she quickly lifted the carriage curtain.
"What's wrong?" Wang Li asked, noticing Chunlan's pale face.
"The young lady is missing!" Chunlan panicked.
Wang Li's face also instantly lost all color.
Today's matter is not simple, especially since it happened on the street. After discussing it, the two decided that Wang Li should drive the carriage back to the Chen family first, so that no outsiders would know that the young lady was missing, while she would start searching along the way.
Actually, Wang Li's more important reason for returning was to lead a group to find the young lady.
Chunlan searched all the nearby clothing stores, jewelry stores, teahouses, and restaurants, but couldn't find any trace of the young lady.
