Chapter 163: By Any Means
Don't think that your little tricks can fool him. He pursued Yinyin Niang in the same way back then!
Yuan Jin was furious and wanted to slam her fist on the table, but she was afraid of startling her daughter, so she could only suppress her anger and wait to vent it on Yu Shiyan later.
Knowing that Yuan Jin always doted on his daughter, Yu Shiyan simply got straight to the point, and the two of them left the side room and sat down in the pavilion outside.
"As long as the general agrees, Shi Yan will send a matchmaker to propose marriage on a chosen day."
Zhong Heng served tea, and Yuan Jin had just taken a sip when she heard Yu Shiyan speak.
He nearly crushed the teacup with a single squeeze.
How shameless of him! He even wants to strike first?
"Your Highness is too kind. Even if my daughter has gained your favor, how can you know what she thinks of you?"
Yu Shiyan chuckled lightly and slowly took out a purse embroidered with the character "Yuan" in gold thread from his bosom.
Yuan Jin: "...Prince Mu is indeed meticulous in his actions." Mainly, he's ruthless in his methods.
"General, you flatter me. Even the grand banquet couldn't compare to your presence."
Yu Shiyan carefully put away the purse, smiling humbly and politely.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Yuan Jin coughed lightly, then said seriously, "The plague in the military camp has stabilized a lot recently, but we don't have enough medicine. I also heard that bandits are rampant in Liang and Qing prefectures, so I came here in person today."
"General, rest assured, the medicinal herbs were prepared yesterday. Zhong Heng, count them and pack them for you."
Zhong Heng bowed and accepted the order, then left.
"Even if the general hadn't come today, this batch of medicinal herbs would have been urgently escorted to the border."
Yu Shiyan stood up and respectfully poured him a cup of hot tea. "As for the bandits, there's probably no need to worry, after all..."
Before he could finish speaking, a dull thud came from the room, followed by a woman's wail. You could almost picture her clutching her head, tears welling in her eyes, even through the door.
Before the two could say much, they quickly got up, pushed open the door, and went inside. Sure enough, they saw Yuan Siyin rubbing the back of her head in pain.
"father?"
Yuan Siyin looked incredulous: "Have we arrived at the border?"
Yuan Jin stretched out his large, calloused hand and easily pulled her up from the ground: "We're still in Liangzhou, acting so recklessly. How old are you to still be rolling off the bed?"
These words sounded like a reprimand, but in reality, there was no anger in them at all, a stark contrast to their previous sharp and sarcastic demeanor.
"Should we see a doctor?"
“I’m not that delicate, and besides, it’s not the first or second time…” Yuan Siyin said awkwardly, pursing her lips.
She wanted to retract the message, but this version doesn't seem to support it.
Yu Shiyan was already used to her drowsy state while sleeping, so he just chuckled and didn't say anything.
Yuan Jin glared at him, clearly displeased.
It's none of anyone else's business to laugh at my own daughter!
"Now that you're awake, let's go back." After looking you up and down to make sure you were alright, he finally let go of your hand.
"Where are we going?" Yuan Siyin asked, somewhat wary.
She finally managed to enter the northern border region, and was just one step away from success. Now she's being asked to return to the capital?
No way!
Even her own father wouldn't do it!
Seeing her puffed-up face, Yuan Jin could more or less guess what she was thinking, but shook her head helplessly: "You child, Fang Ming understands you best. He said you would definitely find a way, and there was no use stopping you."
"Since he's said that, Dad, you should be mentally prepared, right?"
Upon hearing that there was hope, Yuan Siyin immediately put on a sweet smile and snuggled up to Yuan Jin's arm affectionately.
She's not bragging, but this trick of acting cute is used by the entire Yuan family.
