Chen Siyuan looked at the colored clothes and asked, "Who are you?"
"Miss Chen, who we are is not important. What's important is who you want to see?"
At this point, Chen Siyuan realized that she had been tricked.
He glanced at the tall gate in front of him and remembered that Chunlan had given him something after the last incident.
Unsure of what was happening, she squeezed the small pill in her hand, which was tucked into her sleeve. Finding that no one around her seemed to be acting strangely, she could only pray in her heart that the pill would work.
The old women all looked ruthless. Seeing that Chen Siyuan didn't move, they immediately attacked.
The two men grabbed her arms and dragged her through the gate.
Her hands gripped Chen Siyuan's arms tightly like giant pincers, making Chen Siyuan feel like her arms were about to break.
"Miss Chen, I'm sorry to offend you!"
"Let go!" Chen Siyuan shouted angrily at them.
He thought that Madam Tao had gone too far.
There are many things she could have said openly, or she could have gone to her son; why treat herself like this?
Thinking of his grandmother, he suddenly felt that this woman was trying to get back at him.
very good.
Since that's the case, things can't be resolved amicably.
She didn't learn much in the capital in her previous life, but she was very familiar with dealing with situations like this.
For the sake of effect, to portray her weakness, she might have to suffer.
This is the second time in my life I've been held hostage.
Last time I didn't feel anything at all, but now I can clearly feel other people's malice.
"It is not rational for you to kidnap people in broad daylight."
The old women were slightly taken aback, and one of them, who looked older, gave a cold laugh.
"Miss Chen, you'd better keep quiet. It wouldn't be good if you startled our important guest."
"A distinguished person?" Could it be Madam Tao?
Besides Madam Tao, who else would treat me like this on Tao family territory?
Chen Siyuan's heart sank, and she suddenly looked up at the old woman who was about to speak.
"Since you are a servant of the Tao family, you should know what kind of person Young Master Tao is, right?"
The person who can sit in that position must have some skills. She used Tao Yifan to remind them that no matter who they obey now, the Tao family will eventually fall into Tao Yifan's hands. Now that Tao Yifan likes her, he will allow her to get hurt.
As for Madam Tao, she was Tao Yifan's mother, so they couldn't confront her directly. As for the few servants, it wouldn't be surprising if they died.
Before the old woman could even speak, she heard footsteps approaching from afar, and soon several people arrived.
The old woman who had spoken pushed Chen Siyuan to the ground.
Caught off guard, Chen Siyuan instinctively braced herself against the ground when she sensed danger.
She could feel a burning pain in her palms.
But... even though both hands landed at the same time, why does my left hand feel like it's about to be ruined from the pain, while my right hand feels nothing at all?
Could the medicine Chunlan gave herself have such a strange effect?
As I was thinking, I saw several people approaching.
She was stunned when she saw the shoes in front of her.
A sudden wave of panic washed over her. She recalled the news she had heard at the Temple of the Matchmaker not long ago. Could it be that the person she was to meet was not Madam Tao, but that ruthless Princess Qiya?
If it's this person, then it's not good.
Princess Qiya abandoned the bustling capital and came to the southern city, directly seeking out the Tao family. What does this signify?
Since they were both women, she seemed to know what the other was thinking.
What alarmed Chen Siyuan even more was Madam Tao's treachery.
She didn't want to confront her son directly, which is why she deliberately let Princess Qiya appear. So...
When the old women saw the young girls arrive, they dared not be presumptuous and quickly bowed in greeting.
Seeing this scene, Chen Siyuan became even more certain of her thoughts.
"Are you Chen Siyuan?" someone asked.
Chen Siyuan slowly got up from the ground, looking disheveled, but her attitude towards others was still so superior.
She knew a thing or two about dealing with the few obedient palace maids.
To be humble at this moment would be a grave mistake. If they were to harp on the word "noble" now, they would be seen as top-tier women from the palace. So, being decisive and direct might buy them more time to allow Chunlan to come and rescue them.
The old women, who were bending over, looked at Chen Siyuan with some surprise.
The thought that they were being so cautious because they knew each other's identities made Chen Siyuan realize that she was just an ordinary merchant's daughter and had no idea that she was facing a princess from the capital.
"Who is your master?" Chen Siyuan asked, her voice neither humble nor arrogant, despite her disheveled appearance.
"Take him away!" The bearded palace maid didn't wait for Chen Siyuan's reply. Once she was sure the person was right, she ordered him to be taken away.
Two palace maids who were standing nearby immediately came over and grabbed the person.
"Don't forget, in Nancheng, at the Tao family's residence, do you know the consequences your actions have brought to your master?"
Chen Siyuan raised her voice a few decibels, but did not show any panic in her heart.
"Within the Tao family's territory, they treat people this way. If this gets back to the old emperor, how many of you do you think will have your heads chopped off?"
Chen Siyuan's words immediately frightened all of Tao's servants, causing them to kneel on the ground.
My goodness, why are they bringing up the old emperor too?
The leading palace maid turned to look at the woman from this small place; she seemed to have some courage.
However, few people around them had the courage, simply because those who wanted to stand out had all become dead.
The dead have no chance to speak, so what do they have to be afraid of?
"Are you so fearless because the old emperor ordered you to eliminate the Tao family, and therefore you're targeting the young mistress of the Tao family who hasn't even married into the family yet?"
