After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Seeing that Qiao was so angry, Chen laughed.

She felt a little more relaxed. With Qiao's personality, this was the right response. If she acted unusually calm, that would be a problem. Her reaction just now didn't seem like she was traveling through time. However, to be on the safe side, Chen still kept a watchful eye.

She decided to observe for a while to see if there was anything abnormal with Qiao.

When Qiao Rongjin saw that she could still laugh after being told that, her expression was indescribable.

"Goodbye!" Qiao Rongjin acted out the reaction that the original owner would have if he encountered such a situation. Seeing that the time was almost right, he just ran away.

He turned around neatly and strode forward, giving Chen a cold look before leaving.

Chen was not angry when she saw this. Her goal today had been achieved. It all depended on how Qiao would react. A person could pretend for a while, but not for a lifetime. In life, one could best observe a person's character.

She had to think of a way to arrange people to go to Haitangyuan, or to incite the servants of Haitangyuan to rebel, which would help her control over Qiao and her son.

Thinking of Qiao's son Qi You, Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

That madman!

In the past, she had never taken this unremarkable, silent and gloomy boy seriously, but in the end, this boy who was looked down upon by everyone became the final winner. How could she accept this!

But she knew that this kid had grown up in a different environment from others. Even the princess's son, who would later become the crown prince, was not as good as Qi You. Qi You possessed the decisiveness and ruthlessness that an emperor should have. He was extremely deep-minded, and he was swift and resolute in doing things. His control over people's hearts was even more terrifying. The most important thing was that although he was paranoid like a madman, he was good to the people, and was extremely generous to the court officials who followed him, and was very popular.

Chen even knew that King Rui had been secretly helping Qi You many times. Among the ministers that Qi You had won over, several of them were highly respected and were personally sent to him by King Rui. This was King Rui's way of strengthening Qi You's team. He had already chosen the true heir in his heart!

What about Zhao'er? Her son was his favorite. Why didn't he pass the throne to his favorite son? The crown prince was gone, but there was still her son. Her son was extremely intelligent since he was young, and he was good at both civil and military affairs. Why couldn't he sit in that position? Chen was unwilling to accept this. Whenever she thought of this, the resentment in her heart was like a substance that almost ate her to death.

"Not this time." Chen muttered to herself as she stood there.

She would strangle Qi You in the cradle, and only after his death would her son finally have the chance to ascend to the supreme position.

It is best to take action now when Qi You is still young, undeveloped and knows nothing.

She must kill Qi You.

The sickly prince is nothing to be feared. He will die sooner or later anyway, so let him live a few more years.

Chen made up her mind and planned to go back and think about some countermeasures carefully.

The maid following Chen today is Yushu.

Seeing that her wife had been behaving strangely since leaving Qiu Shui Garden, Yu Shu couldn't help wondering what was going on. However, seeing her master's appearance, she didn't dare to ask, as her master seemed to be in a bad mood.

Qiao Rongjin, who returned to Haitangyuan at a high speed, was also extremely uneasy at this moment.

The heroine was suspicious of her, but she had not done anything out of the ordinary since she came here. Her every move was consistent with the original owner's personality. She did not reveal any of her modern vocabulary, and she had rarely even left Haitang Courtyard. So why did the heroine suddenly suspect herself?

Qiao Rongjin was so puzzled that his head was about to go bald from thinking about it.

And what was the difference between today's heroine and the one I saw every day? What was the difference? Qiao Rongjin pondered.

We hardly ever met in the past, but today he suddenly stopped me. His behavior was very different from before. This change must have happened in the past few days.

He couldn't come up with any result by thinking this way, so Qiao Rongjin immediately thought of Qin Yun.

"Qinglian, go call Qinyun in. I have something for her to do."

The master's slightly anxious expression made Qinglian a little worried. Just now, the master was stopped by Master Chen and said a bunch of weird things. Then he came back and kept frowning and tapping the table with his fingers, looking like he couldn't figure it out. But the master was even immersed in it, so she didn't dare to ask.

"Yes, I will go and call her right away."

Soon, Qinyun arrived.

"Your servant greets the master." Qin Yun felt happy in her heart. This was the first time that the master took the initiative to call her.

When Qiao Rongjin saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Qinyun, I have noticed your performance these days. Today I need you to do something. If you do it well, you will be rewarded."

Wen Yan, Qin Yun knew that her chance to show off had come, "It is a blessing for a servant to work for the master."

Qinglian on the side was very satisfied. She thought that the maid she had trained was indeed very capable.

"Go and find out if there is anything unusual about Madam Chen these days, what she has done or said during this time, and see if there is anything different from usual. Try to find out as much as you can, but don't be too deliberate. Try to keep a low profile, don't you understand?"

"I understand, my master, please wait for my good news." Qin Yun was full of confidence.

She is good at this job, it's just a matter of talking.

"Okay, go ahead." Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin was very satisfied.

I sighed again that it was a wise decision to keep Qinyun.

After Qinyun left, Qinglian finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you suspicious of something?"

Qiao Rongjin glanced at Qinglian and did not hide his thoughts. "This Chen is really abnormal today. Let's check what's wrong with her first. Otherwise, I will always think about this. By the way, I'm afraid that Chen will keep paying attention to our Haitang Courtyard in the next few days, and may even attack one of our people. You should be more careful these days. Also, you and Zhuyun should emphasize this to Qiyou."

Qiao Rongjin was worried until he found out why Chen was like this, so for safety reasons, he had to notify everyone.

When Qinglian heard what her master said, she naturally understood her master's concerns, so she nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, master, I will take good care of it."

"Ah."

Soon, it was time for dinner.

Qiao Rongjin and her son were eating slowly. She asked about his homework today and whether he was happy or not as usual.

But usually when Qiao Rongjin is worried, his appetite will not be very good.

Qi You discovered it keenly.

Putting down his chopsticks, Qi You softly said, "Mom, do you have a poor appetite today?"
