Chen Siyuan lay on the table, slightly raised her head, and glanced at her father. "How could a mortal like me possibly get close to such an immortal?"
"Nonsense, my daughter is..."
“But what?” Chen Siyuan laughed. “Father knows I don’t have any outstanding strengths, right?” She said nonchalantly. “I used to think I was superior to others, but now I know my own worth, so I don’t think about things I shouldn’t think about.”
Chen Zhaokun had to admit that Tao Yifan was indeed a very good person, and he would have agreed with him if it weren't for this incident.
"Father, actually I never intended to marry Tao Yifan." Chen Siyuan was a little drunk. She wouldn't normally say such things, but today, fueled by the alcohol, she decided to get it off her chest.
"Father, Tao Yifan and I never intended to be truly together from the beginning. We were just cooperating. I wanted to use his connections and influence to get to the capital... Waaah..."
Chen Zhaokun knew what his daughter wanted to say, and he knew no one was around, but he still couldn't let her say it.
Hearing this, he was truly relieved.
Chen Luyang returned from outside. He had originally gone to find his younger sister, but upon hearing that she was with his father, he came to check on her.
Everything outside was going smoothly, but his biggest worry was his grandmother and sister. To mislead them, he could only continue to busy himself with his business.
I've been really tired these past few days. I heard they were here, so I came over to get some fresh air.
He always liked his younger sister, but now that she has changed, he likes her even more.
His father hadn't allowed him to go see his sister in the last few days, but he had already gone to see her long ago.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a few people standing at the gate. Later, when I got to the gate, I saw two drunk men inside, and I was speechless.
"Father, are you drinking?" he said, walking to the table and pouring himself a drink.
"You're back?" Looking at his two children, whom he was so proud of, he suddenly felt content.
His son has built a solid foundation in recent years and is no longer as impulsive as young people when handling matters, which is what a father is most happy to see. His daughter is also no longer confused, which makes him happy too.
"Brother, let's drink." Chen Siyuan heard the noise, looked up, saw Chen Luyang, and immediately grabbed the wine jar with both hands to drink. Unfortunately, it didn't work after several attempts, and in the end, she dropped the wine jar on the ground and broke it, spilling the wine all over the ground.
Chen Zhaokun saw that his daughter was really drunk.
"Yang'er, take your sister home."
Chen Luyang is very obedient.
He carried his sister away, and Chen Zhaokun, who had been a little drunk, suddenly sobered up and looked at the person who came.
Having served Chen Zhaokun for many years, Fushan knew his master's temperament and immediately relayed the news he had just received.
"We still haven't heard from the old lady. However, we found out that a carriage from the capital left the city in the middle of the night on the day she disappeared."
"The capital?"
Chen Zhaokun thought about the information he had received.
Many people have recently arrived in the capital. These people from the capital, who arrived at the Tao family's residence a few days after her mother's disappearance, are likely Princess Qiya, who mysteriously disappeared again.
Could it be her?
Thinking of this, he immediately took a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Fushan, saying, "Go to the capital and find Minister Su."
"Yes." Fu Shan carefully put away the jade pendant in both hands and left quickly under the cover of night.
Chen Zhaokun was indeed sitting alone at the table drinking, staring intently at what was in front of him.
Things are getting interesting.
So many years have passed, and now he is going to the capital.
Or was it forced upon them?
interesting!
He hopes someone will take good care of his mother; otherwise, he will settle accounts for what happened back then, along with what happened today.
...
Warm home.
Chen Luyang carried his younger sister to the inner hall and carefully placed her on the bed. Just as he got up, he was startled when his sister suddenly opened her eyes.
"you....."
Chen Siyuan sat up and looked at her elder brother. "Brother, what are you hiding from me?" Chen Siyuan wasn't stupid; after just one drink, she knew something was wrong.
It seemed that everyone was hiding something from her. She wanted to know, but the maids dared not tell her, so she decided to start with them.
Chen Luyang was shocked; his sister was no ordinary person.
He hadn't originally planned to hide it, but seeing this, he simply admitted, "Grandmother is missing."
When Chunlan and Chunping saw that the young lady had suddenly sobered up, they were startled. After hearing this, they knew they couldn't hide it anymore.
They didn't know exactly when the young lady discovered it.
"Missing?"
"Um."
"when?"
"The night after the flood."
"At night? At home?" This time it was Chen Siyuan's turn to be surprised.
How could my grandmother disappear from her own home?
With my father and elder brother here, how could such a thing be allowed to happen?
Besides, Tao Yifan is a martial arts master, yet his own father was able to injure this person. Even if Tao Yifan felt guilty towards him, it still shows that his father's martial arts skills were extremely high. And yet, his grandmother still disappeared in his own home.
“My father has been investigating, but there are still no results. I hope my grandmother is alright.”
With some things brought up, Chen Luyang's long-hidden worries were revealed without reservation.
He had to wear a mask outside, and couldn't even rest at home. Fortunately, things are better now. His sister knows, and he has someone else to talk to, which makes him feel much more at ease.
Chen Siyuan thought for a long time, then looked at Chunlan and Chunping, "When you found me at the Tao family's old house that day, did you see anyone else?"
"No, there was only the young lady at the time."
Chen Siyuan snorted coldly. It seems that Princess Qiya is not a fool either; she saw that things were not going well and ran away.
