Chapter 211: Nothing happened to us.
Yuan Siyin stared blankly at her departing figure, feeling that Shen Ruomei was a little too calm.
So calm and detached that she seemed devoid of desire, like a self-controlled puppet.
"Sister Siyin, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Qi Xinxin suddenly appeared behind her, smiling and lightly patting her shoulder: "I've called you several times, but you didn't answer."
Yuan Siyin snapped out of her daze and saw her coming over. She immediately laughed and said, "How dare you say that to me? Why are you so late?"
"Well... something came up on the way and I was delayed."
Recalling what had just happened, Qi Xinxin stammered a few times.
Yuan Siyin narrowed her eyes and gave a soft hum, her voice trailing off: "Hmm—? Really?"
"real."
Qi Xinxin felt a little guilty, so she could only nod reluctantly.
"Could it be that she went to see Yu Shiyan?"
Yuan Siyin took two steps back, revealing an expression that said, "You don't need to explain, I understand."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"No, you've misunderstood..."
Qi Xinxin blushed, turned her head away shyly, and kept fanning herself to distract herself: "It's so hot, I'm sweating all the way here."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. What's the progress like? Tell me quickly."
Yuan Siyin leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."
I didn't expect Yu Shiyan to be so good at this; he's already won over Xin Xin's heart so quickly.
"There's no progress at all, nothing's wrong with us!"
Qi Xinxin was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
What's going on? Yu Shiyan clearly asked her to explain, but the misunderstanding has only gotten bigger and bigger.
Although she couldn't stand Yu Shiyan having feelings for Si Yin, she also couldn't let Si Yin think she had a relationship with Prince Mu.
Yuan Siyin paused: "Don't you like Yu Shiyan?"
"Who likes him? I like Si..."
Qi Xinxin was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.
Thunder rumbled down at Yuan Siyin's feet.
It seems she has experienced temporary hearing loss.
Consort Wan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to give an order to her personal maid. A dozen or so maids then carried trays to the table, allowing the young ladies to choose their favorite silk flowers.
Yuan Siyin got up and followed the Empress Dowager, asking as they walked, "Does Aunt not get along with Consort Wan?"
"It's not a matter of dealing with each other or not, it's just that I look down on them."
The Empress Dowager said calmly.
Yuan Siyin sensed there was some story behind it, but didn't ask any further questions. After following for a while, she was persuaded to go back by the Empress Dowager: "Alright, I have the jadeite, that's enough. Go back and have a good talk with Miss Qi. Don't keep anything to yourself." "It's not a matter of getting along or not, it's just that I don't think much of her."
The Empress Dowager said calmly.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry."
Yuan Siyin nodded and turned back to look for Qi Xinxin. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Shen Ruomei walking slowly by the lotus pond, glancing at the tender green lotus leaves in the middle of the river.
Remembering the gossip behind her back, Yuan Siyin paused, intending to walk around her. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruomei called out to her from afar, lifted her skirt with both hands, and went up the bridge to talk to her. However, when she reached the end of the bridge, she accidentally stepped into the air, lost her balance, and fell straight forward.
