Chapter 262: Playing by Unconventional Rules

To help Si Yuzhu get acquainted with the people around her more quickly, Yuan Siyin introduced them to everyone in detail. After all, the two were related by blood, and although they had never met before, they were still quite close.

"You were so busy talking that you forgot to ask your cousin when your maternal grandmother and uncle would be coming to the capital?"

Si Yuzhu seemed to remember it too clearly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Father still has some things to hand over in the south. I don't know exactly when. He should be able to come before Si Yin's birthday. Grandmother was worried about Father, so she asked Granny Wu to bring me to the Yuan residence first. We'll come together after Father finishes his official duties."

"There's still some time to go, no rush. My cousin can stay as long as she wants, she can even stay until her grandmother comes and not go back."

Yuan Siyin made a joke, and before Si Yuzhu could react, someone from the outer gate suddenly came to report that Zhong Heng, a subordinate of Prince Mu, had arrived.

"You came here right after I got back?"

Yuan Siyin was a little puzzled and asked, "Did they say there was anything important?"

"They're carrying a food box, so they must be delivering snacks."

"Okay, I'll go over there."

Yuan Siyin agreed and turned to greet Si Yuzhu: "Cousin, just tell Ziyuan what you need."

"good."

Si Yuzhu took two steps, seemingly hesitant, "Sister Siyin, be careful."

Yuan Siyin assumed she was just worried about the political infighting at court and didn't take it to heart. She smiled, nodded, and left.

The maidservant serving Si Yuzhu, seeing that everyone had left, first sent Yulan to a side room before returning to her to pour tea and hand it to her: "Miss, you're always right, it's truly amazing."

"There's no such thing as a god or anything like that. The Yuan Mansion is not the same as the Si Mansion. You shouldn't speak so rashly."

Even so, Si Yuzhu did not mean to blame her; she only said a few words to her lightly.

“What Liying said is all true.”

The little girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, looking like she was at the innocent and carefree age.

"Outsiders say that Miss Yuan is arrogant and domineering. I was worried that we would be turned away, but I didn't expect that we would actually be allowed to stay and that we would be settled in so well."

Looking at it this way, she doesn't seem as bad as the rumors say.

Si Yuzhu nodded without saying anything.

It was expected that Yuan Siyin would let her stay, but why would Prince Mu send snacks to her door out of the blue?

Could it be that they plan to poison Yuan Siyin?

Si Yuzhu thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Yuan Siyin deserved to die, but she shouldn't have died so young.

But it's for the best. Her death brings peace and tranquility to everyone else, and that's enough.

The reason I went to the capital at this time, which is different from the usual plan, is to help Yu Shiyan kill Yuan Siyin to vent his anger.

Otherwise, once Yu Shiyan ascends the throne, the entire clan will be implicated because of Yuan Siyin's mistake. It will be too late to say anything then. It is better to nip this troublemaker Yuan Siyin in the bud before the big mistake is made.

Si Yuzhu felt a little relieved. After taking a sip of tea, she couldn't help but rub her temples. "The journey was very bumpy. You guys pack your things. I'll rest first."

"Miss, please rest assured. Liying will call you to have your meal in a little while."

Before Si Yuzhu could fall asleep, a fragrance suddenly wafted into her nose.

Si Yuzhu frowned, got up and closed the window, then buried herself under the covers again, but she could still smell the aroma of food.

She swallowed hard, unable to resist.

The food at the Yuan residence is so good. Yuan Siyin is such a disappointment. She doesn't care about other people's lives at all. At least she should think about the delicious food.
