Chapter 172: Who's Unlucky?

"Whether he has changed his ways or not is unknown, but if he wants to keep his official position, he has to give back what he has taken in."

Yuan Siyin smiled and then solemnly clasped her hands in a fist salute to Yuan Jin in front of her: "Three days. Just give your daughter three days, and Father will surely get what he wants."

He didn't say anything, his face was a little stiff, and he went out with his hands behind his back.

Once Yuan Jin left, Si Fangming approached her in surprise: "Wow, you're good at keeping things quiet. What else are you hiding from us?"

Why didn't you tell me what you were hiding from me first?

Yuan Siyin responded with a smile.

"What could I possibly be hiding..."

"For example, how come I have no idea about the contents of those letters you exchanged with your father?"

She slightly raised the last syllable of her voice, and raised the corner of her eye, looking quite malicious.

Faced with this interrogation, which was not in his favor, Si Fangming wisely kept quiet.

"So what exactly do you mean by 'three days,' and what are your plans?"

Yuan Siyin turned around, smiling mysteriously: "Guess."

The girl's eyes held a hint of cunning; she was clearly trying to pique people's interest.

Si Fangming touched his nose, knowing that she was deliberately seeking revenge, so he simply didn't rush to ask.

We'll find out in three days anyway; once she's made up her mind, even the general can't stop her.

As expected, by evening the red-clad figure was gone from the tent, replaced only by the shadow of an old father, pacing anxiously back and forth by candlelight.

"No, you shouldn't have agreed to her during the day!"

Yuan Jin was so confused that he finally sat down and slammed his hand on the table, deeply regretting his impulsive actions during the day.

In contrast, Si Fangming appeared much calmer.

He quietly sipped his tea, then poured another bowl and pushed it in front of Yuan Jin: "Father, don't worry. If she runs away, who knows who will be the one who suffers the consequences."

From childhood to adulthood, she has never allowed herself to suffer even the slightest injustice.

Although this made sense, Yuan Jin still worried, "She may not necessarily suffer any injustice, but I'm afraid she might suffer like Prince Mu."

Harboring ill intentions! Plotting something sinister! Eyeing us with predatory intent!

I'm not afraid that my daughter will suffer losses when she goes out, but I'm afraid that she will suffer losses without even realizing it, and that she will be easily deceived!

While Yuan Jin was pacing around in worry, Yuan Siyin changed into the elegant and refined attire of a gentleman, and swaggered into Saibei City with Taxue in hand.

Although the situation between the two countries is tense, and sometimes even hostile, no one would refuse money that is offered to them, especially under these circumstances.

Yuan Siyin had never been to the northern frontier before, and her sole purpose in coming here was to gather information and then make her move discreetly. As for where her target was...

Her captivating phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the distant long street, a place of brothels and pleasure quarters.

"Oh my, what an elegant young master! Is this your first time here? Please, please come in!"

The madam, waving her handkerchief, saw Yuan Siyin and her eyes lit up. She pushed and shoved her into the brothel.

Yuan Siyin smiled and did not refuse. She even hooked her arm around a girl halfway there and said, "She's the one. I feel a connection with her."

As she spoke, she tossed a silver ingot to the madam.

The madam was overjoyed, then turned to the woman beside her and pointed at her with exasperation: "Hurry up and take the young master upstairs, and serve him well. If you displease him, you'll be in for a beating!"

The woman responded, then charmingly took Yuan Siyin's arm and led her upstairs to the second floor.
