Chapter 264: Away from Yuan Siyin

Si Yuzhu was unaware of what she was thinking; only one thought occupied her mind.

Stay away from Yuan Siyin!

May there be no Yuan Siyin in heaven who single-handedly reaped the benefits of everyone around her!

"But this is fine, it saves me the trouble of going in to look for you again. Get in the carriage."

Yuan Siyin pointed towards the carriage.

"Just the two of us?"

"Yes, I'm used to going out alone. Ziyuan and the others all stay at the manor, and I only see them off at the door at most."

Zi Yuan stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and let the two of them sit inside. Then she stepped back two steps and watched the carriage leave.

"How about we go to the Qi residence first, and then go for a spring outing in the countryside this afternoon?"

Yuan Siyin picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, tilting her head to ask for her opinion.

"good."

Si Yuzhu responded subconsciously, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar. After getting off the carriage and seeing the plaque of the Qi family mansion, she tried hard to recall it before she became flustered.

Isn't this the female lead's house?

As fellow cannon fodder female supporting characters, it's one thing to bully the male lead, but why are you being so overbearing, even chasing after the female lead to her doorstep?

Could she first rid the male lead of this menace and save his own life?

Why didn't you follow?

Yuan Siyin had already reached the door when she turned around and saw that she was still standing there, which puzzled her.

This cousin doesn't seem very bright.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to come here so abruptly?" Si Yuzhu tried to persuade her tactfully.

"What's wrong with it?"

Yuan Siyin stepped forward and knocked on the door. The same old man answered the door as before. Upon seeing that it was her, he immediately opened the door respectfully: "Please, Miss Yuan."

"Thank you, sir."

“Miss Yuan, you’re too kind. Please come in. You’ve come at an inopportune time. Master and Madam went out early this morning to pray for the young master. But since you’re here, I’ll go and inform you.”

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Yuan Siyin didn't need anyone to lead her; she navigated the place as if she were in the Yuan residence, which left Si Yuzhu speechless.

Before long, Qi Xinxin arrived happily, "Sister Siyin!"

Yuan Siyin smiled and waved the box in her hand: "Don't say I didn't give a gift. I brought a longevity lock and a pair of silver bracelets. I didn't get to attend the 100-day banquet, but I still spent a lot of money."

"It's good that Sister Siyin could come. It's just a pity that Father and Mother are not here, so we missed it."

Qi Xinxin sighed with regret, then glanced at Si Yuzhu behind her and immediately became wary: "Who is this...?"

"My cousin, Si Yuzhu."

Yuan Siyin deliberately emphasized the words "cousin," her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Your future sister-in-law."

Qi Xinxin blushed immediately and dared not look at Si Yuzhu any longer. She kept hiding behind Yuan Siyin, saying, "You always tease me. I knew I shouldn't have told you!"

"But I already know, there's nothing I can do."

Yuan Siyin chuckled and pinched her slightly flushed cheek: "Come on, won't you show me your precious little brother?"

Reminded by her, Qi Xinxin immediately took her hand and walked towards the rebuilt Feihua Courtyard, while Si Yuzhu said that she was not feeling well and stayed in the pavilion.

The servants brought some tea and pastries, and Si Yuzhu remembered the packet of arsenic hidden in her sleeve, and couldn't help but have some thoughts.

I won't go into what Yuan Siyin did, but I'm innocent and don't want to be implicated and lose my life.

Since it was her first time doing something like this, Si Yuzhu was a little nervous.

She subconsciously glanced left and right to make sure no one else was around, then picked up a piece of pastry to conceal her presence, broke it in half, and reached into her sleeve to open the oil paper packet containing the arsenic, shaking the fine white powder onto the filling.

Just as she finished, a cool and pleasant voice came from behind her, "What are you doing?"
