Chapter 111: Of course I'm avoiding you

Yuan Siyin didn't follow her father to see Yu Shiyan off; she was just wondering to herself.

Why did Father come back without saying a word?

You must understand that although her father loved her dearly, he wouldn't abandon the soldiers stationed on the frontier just because of a joke.

At that moment, a corner of clothing hurriedly disappeared into the corner, heading straight for the study.

"Ai Si..."

She called out halfway through, then stopped as if she had remembered something and chose to tiptoe after him.

Let's see what that bastard Si is up to.

"General, this is intelligence obtained from Prime Minister Lin."

Once outside the study, Yuan Siyin bent over and pressed her ear against the wall, glancing around to conceal herself, looking just like a spy who had infiltrated to gather intelligence.

"His Majesty is indeed harboring resentment towards us. Not only are our provisions being severely reduced, but our military pay is also being embezzled along the way. This is truly outrageous."

Yuan's father sighed, his words tinged with a sense of weariness: "Never mind, this matter still needs careful consideration."

I returned to the capital in secret, intending to personally report on the famine in the northern border. I didn't expect Prime Minister Lin to be so well-informed. If I were to show myself now, His Majesty would likely become even more wary of the Yuan family.

Si Fangming was taken aback: "So, you're leaving right now?"

"Um."

Yuan's father put his hands behind his back, looked at the portrait of the woman hanging on the wall, and let out another long sigh.

"Let's keep the unrest on the frontier a secret from Yin'er as before, so she won't worry."

"But she'll find out someday, and besides, Miss isn't as fragile as you think, so why bother..."

Yuan Jin interrupted him with a gesture.

"Her mother said that she only wanted her two children to be safe and sound, and asked for nothing else. Besides, she was still young and inexperienced, so this was enough for her."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin's mind was slightly flustered. She suddenly realized that she couldn't help at all, so she could only leave silently and quietly.

The plot has been completely changed because of her; there was no famine or turmoil in the original book.

In other words, the road ahead will only become more and more unpredictable.

Even if Yu Shiyan doesn't touch the Yuan family after ascending the throne, what if war breaks out?

She dared not think about it.

Just as Yuan Siyin was kicking the pebbles under her feet in a daze, a greenish thing "smacked" into her face.

She felt a warm sensation in her nose, and when she picked up the fluttering budgie upside down and touched it, she realized her nose was bleeding.

Yuan Siyin gritted her teeth and flicked it on the head without any mercy: "What are you doing, you good-for-nothing?"

"Yuan Siyin! Yuan Siyin! You're doomed! You're doomed!"

"Back door! Back door! Yuan Siyin! Come to the back door!"

After making a lot of random noises, the parrot struggled out of her hand and flew towards the back gate of the Yuan residence.

Yuan Siyin was probably stunned by the awl, and actually followed it to the back door, until she pushed open the door and saw the person standing under the moon.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored, moon-white brocade robe, she was slender and upright, with light and graceful steps, like a jade tree in full bloom, radiant and elegant, exuding indescribable nobility and grace, as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

Yuan Siyin instinctively turned and ran.

However, Yu Shiyan stretched out his long hand, hooked his fingertips around her belt, and easily pulled her back.

Why are you running? Who are you hiding from?

The man's voice was low, yet clear and pure, like snow that had just fallen into the world, without a trace of warmth.

Do I even need to ask that?

Of course I'm avoiding you!

Yuan Siyin dared not speak her anger at his actions, and could only tilt her head and give him a fawning smile: "I won't run away, can you let go now?"
