Chen Zhaokun stared intently at the carriage.
Does Wang Li possess some extraordinary medicine?
I hope so.
The wait was long, and everyone was on edge.
As the stench of blood intensified, their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
Chunlan and Chunping weren't so worried; it seemed that with Wang Li around, nothing was impossible.
Da da da—
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came galloping in.
Chen Zhaokun was already furious; at this moment, he felt that anyone who rushed at him deserved to die.
The sword is already in hand; I can act at any time.
Tao Yifan galloped wildly on his horse, his forehead covered in a thick layer of sweat, but his face was frighteningly pale.
When he arrived and saw Chen Zhaokun in front of him, he was about to speak when Chen Zhaokun's sword rushed towards him.
Tao Yifan could have dodged, but he stood still, letting the sword come straight at his heart.
Chen Zhaokun was determined to kill. Seeing that Tao Yifan neither fought back nor dodged, seemingly waiting to die, he originally intended to pierce Tao Yifan's heart with his sword, but at this moment, he slightly deviated.
Fresh blood spurted out instantly.
Tao Yifan's body, Chen Zhaokun's sword, and his hands were all covered in blood.
"Uncle, I'm sorry." It was all because of him; Tao Yifan felt sorry for Chen Siyuan.
That was the sword he deserved.
If it weren't for me, Chen Siyuan wouldn't have gone through what happened today.
"Cough cough—"
At that critical moment, Chen Siyuan's cough came from inside the carriage.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Siyuan.
Tao Yifan was hit by the sword; he was the furthest away, but also the fastest.
He lifted the carriage curtain and squinted instantly upon seeing the scene inside.
His whole body trembled slightly.
He had always known about the methods some people used, but he never imagined they would be this utterly depraved.
He never imagined that his mother would raise Chen Siyuan to this extent.
Chen Siyuan had always been engaged to her and was considered half a member of the Tao family, yet her mother dared to take matters into her own hands.
He is now not only shocked, but also deeply afraid.
If Chen Zhaokun hadn't found it first, he might have arrived to find a cold corpse.
Only now did he realize what his mother's true intentions were.
Why did they keep delaying telling me their whereabouts? It turns out it was because of this.
"Get out of my way!" Chen Zhaokun stepped forward, shoved Tao Yifan aside, and after getting into the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter awake. At the same time, he met Tao Yifan's eyes and said, "Young Master Tao, from now on, your engagement is null and void. We will keep to ourselves from now on."
"..." Tao Yifan wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything.
His gaze lingered on Chen Siyuan, unable to look away for a long time.
Chen Siyuan opened her eyes and glanced at him, then quickly closed them again without saying anything, seemingly agreeing with her father's words.
Chen Zhaokun was an impatient man and didn't want to stay there any longer, so he immediately drove the carriage away.
The carriage slowly drove away, and Tao Yifan seemed frozen in place.
Ren Lu and Yu Shuo arrived relatively late. When they arrived, they saw the carriage speeding away, and Tao Yifan standing straight with blood streaming down his chest and tears in his eyes.
"Young Master—"
"Young Master—"
Tao Yifan seemed to have all his strength drained away at that moment.
His body slowly fell backward.
......
One hour later.
Tao family.
Mrs. Tao was unaware of what had happened. She began to dwell on her son's anger and disgust towards her, and later heard that Tao Yifan had been injured.
When she arrived, she saw her son covered in blood and the imperial physicians rushing to treat him.
She was scared.
I thought of what my son had said to me.
"I will only marry Chen Siyuan."
'If I break this oath, may the Tao family line end.'
Is the Tao family really doomed?
"Fan'er..."
She couldn't stand Chen Siyuan, that bitch, because she wanted her son to have a good future.
How can you want a woman who had an improper relationship with your servant?
Given the Chen family's affairs and Chen Siyuan's overly domineering style, she was simply worried that her son would be bullied.
There are so many good women out there, why did you have to choose this one?
It was heartbreaking for her as a mother to see her perfectly healthy son ruined like this by Chen Siyuan.
Back then, because of her low social status, she had suffered cold looks from others in the Tao family for so many years. If it weren't for her own womb proving its worth, and if it weren't for her son proving himself, she wouldn't have had a say at all.
My son is so outstanding; he deserves a better woman and has a brighter future. How can we let a woman hold him back?
Soon, my son will be able to establish himself in the capital. With such a woman by his side, how can he hold his head high in front of those people?
With Chen Siyuan's petty and narrow-minded ways, how can she help her son advance further, aside from her pretty face?
At this time, Madam Tao was unaware of Chen Siyuan's abilities.
In her past life, Chen Siyuan was able to turn a servant of the Tao family into a high-ranking official; such an ability is not something everyone possesses.
Seeing the imperial physicians constantly busy, Madam Tao felt a pang of regret that Chen Siyuan didn't just die, while also worrying about her son's safety.
This continued until midnight before the son's condition finally stabilized.
Mrs. Tao, who had been tense all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her son's life was saved.
Because of this, she immediately went to burn incense, feeling that it was the blessing of her ancestors.
