Chen Siyuan was speechless when she heard the rumors about herself.
She originally wanted to make a fortune, but thinking about how those people ended up in such miserable states, she changed her mind. Unexpectedly, there was such a reversal.
Now that my elder brother has gradually established himself in the southern part of the city, this incident will only broaden his future prospects.
After catching her breath, Chen Siyuan suddenly felt that something was missing from her side.
I glanced around and it seemed like nothing was missing.
"Young Miss, what are you looking for?"
"Where is Grandma?" So much has happened, why isn't Grandma here?
This is clearly illogical.
My grandmother cares about me a lot. Even though I kept the news of my serious illness from her, now that I'm perfectly healthy, why haven't I seen her yet?
Chen Siyuan is a woman of action.
She immediately went to her grandmother's summer residence, only to find that no one was there, not even Lin Ma.
What's going on?
She felt terrible; so many things had happened, and she had even forgotten her grandmother.
At first, it was because I was worried about my grandmother and didn't want her to see me injured. But what happened later?
She really shouldn't have done that.
Anxious, I started looking for my grandmother everywhere. Later, I heard from the maid that my grandmother had gone to offer incense.
is that so?
It seems so.
My grandmother has always been kind-hearted. After the flood, many families were displaced, so it was normal for her to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Is that really the case?
Chen Siyuan, preoccupied with her own anxieties, failed to notice anything amiss with Chunlan and Chunping.
Later, when he returned to his own courtyard, he ran into Chen Xin by chance.
When she saw Chen Xin, she almost didn't recognize him.
She used to dress exquisitely, adorned with various gold, silver, and jade ornaments, exuding the air of a wealthy noblewoman. Yet here she was, disheveled, without a single decent piece of jewelry.
Thinking of Aunt Zhao's departure, and then of what happened between Chen Xin and Chen Fan at the poetry gathering, and then Chen Xin's subsequent commotion, with no one giving in, her current situation has become awkward.
A daughter born of a concubine can never compare to a daughter born of the principal wife.
Coupled with what her mother did, it must have made her father even more disgusted.
Seeing Chen Xin like this, it's likely he'll never have the same glory he had in his past life.
"Sister—" When Chen Xin faced Chen Siyuan, she was not ashamed to face anyone because of her downfall.
Chen Siyuan stood still, waiting for someone to arrive.
At this moment, she had no intention of seeing how pathetic the other person was, nor did she intend to give him a chance. She just wanted to see what he still wanted to say after all this.
Chen Xin approached, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Is your sister very proud of herself?"
She went to Madam Tao's place to reveal that she already had a son, but she still couldn't suppress her. How despicable!
She refused to believe that with her current status, no matter how much she tried, she wouldn't be able to gain entry into the Tao family.
What right does a woman who has been jilted have to be arrogant?
In her view, the so-called "living bodhisattva" was just a reputation that someone had deliberately bought in order to marry into the Tao family.
"Not bad!" Chen Siyuan said with an air of pride.
They seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in the other person's words.
"When does my sister plan to marry into the Tao family?"
"It'll be soon!"
"Is my sister sure?" Chen Xin sneered.
Seeing Chen Xin's different demeanor, Chen Siyuan was slightly taken aback. Could it be that she had done something behind the scenes?
I've been too busy lately to think too much.
Thinking back to the day Tao Yifan took her to the Temple of the Matchmaker, and then to what happened afterward, could she have been involved as well?
"Has something come to mind, sister?"
"I'm thinking my wedding dress should be arriving soon, but I don't know if I'll be satisfied with the style."
"Hmph, then I'll wish my sister well, little sister."
"No need for blessings. I'm thinking that I shouldn't find a good family for my half-sister before I get married."
"No need," Chen Xin said through gritted teeth.
"I know it's unlikely my half-sister will find a very good family to marry into. Perhaps she could lower her standards and find someone..."
"You've gone to so much trouble, Sister Bu Lao. You should worry about your grandmother instead!" Chen Xin said, then turned and left.
As Chen Siyuan watched her departing figure, she felt that Chen Xin's words had a hidden meaning, as if she knew something.
Could it be related to my grandmother?
Thinking of this, she immediately went to her eldest brother's courtyard, but did not see him. Chen Siyuan then went to her father's courtyard, but still did not see him.
Upon seeing Butler Cheng, Chen Siyuan immediately stopped him and asked, "Where is my grandmother?"
Chunlan and Chunping quickly began to wink at the young lady from behind, and Butler Cheng immediately understood, "Young lady, the old lady has gone to offer incense and pray for blessings."
"Why did it take so long?"
Butler Cheng bowed respectfully and replied, "Miss may have forgotten, but the Old Madam spends most of the year at the temple..."
Chen Siyuan then remembered that her grandmother rarely stayed at home for long. With so many things happening this time, her grandmother, being kind-hearted, must have been saddened. Thinking of this, she realized that she was being too sensitive.
After being relieved about her grandmother's situation, she asked, "What have Chen Xin and Chen Fan been busy with lately?"
So much has happened lately, I wonder what bad things they're up to this time. I hope that with this flood, no one will be so heartless as to lose their humanity.
"The second young master and the second young lady stay in their own courtyard every day and rarely go out."
"Does someone bring them food every day?"
"some."
"That's good." Chen Siyuan felt it was inappropriate.
Their nature is not so quiet.
They haven't yet discovered what they should have started doing.
