Chapter 266: A Man's Little Tricks
"You're just going to let it go like that?"
Seeing that Yuan Siyin had no intention of pursuing the matter, Yu Shiyan frowned, his fingers gripping the porcelain cup, his tone slightly displeased.
When Si Yuzhu first met Yu Shiyan and was met with such a sour face, she was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Yuan Siyin.
"Forget it, there won't be a next time."
Yuan Siyin naturally stepped in front, making her stance clear.
"Are you really okay?"
Compared to the banquet, Qi Xinxin had no reservations and directly took her hand: "Prince Mu is right, one should always be wary of others."
Unable to explain to them immediately, Yuan Siyin could only look helplessly at Si Yuzhu: "The carriage is waiting outside the mansion, why don't you go back and get some rest?"
Si Yuzhu nodded vigorously and immediately ran out.
As soon as Yuan Siyin finished speaking, Yu Shiyan gave a soft hum, seemingly angry.
"Aren't you afraid that someone might want to kill you now?"
Yuan Siyin's smile froze.
Does that sound like a veiled criticism of her?
“This is different; you are not the same as others,” she said seriously.
Yu Shiyan gave a soft "hmm," then slowly got up, leaving only the hundred-day gift before leaving with Zhong Heng.
Before leaving, he turned back and gave her a meaningful look.
Yuan Siyin couldn't figure out this man for a moment, so she could only turn to Qi Xinxin and ask, "What's wrong with him?"
Qi Xinxin pondered for a moment: "I guess they're hungry. Let's go back and have some breakfast."
Ha, playing hard to get, a man's little trick.
She and Si the Fool are not even officially dating yet, she can't let Mu Wang sneak away.
He's already keeping such a close eye on Sister Siyin even though it's still so far in the works. What will happen if he actually succeeds?
It made some sense, so Yuan Siyin decided not to think about it any further.
"Oh right, I was going to tell you something, but they got distracted and I forgot. Si Fangming sent a message this morning."
Upon hearing the name Si Fangming, Qi Xinxin's ears perked up: "What did he say? What's the situation on the border lately?"
Yuan Siyin chuckled and pinched her cheek: "It's nothing serious. They colluded with my aunt to trick me into returning to the capital. I figured they should have calmed down by now, so I wrote this letter."
As she spoke, she pulled a grass rabbit out of her bosom and waved it in front of her: "He made it, here you go."
"This... I can do this too, why do I need his?"
Qi Xinxin awkwardly turned her face away, but couldn't help stealing a couple of glances.
"I already told you it was him who made it up, so it's more meaningful for you to keep it."
Yuan Siyin stuffed it directly into her hand.
Since that bastard Si finally gets to eat swan meat, she, as his younger sister, has to help keep this little swan on its leash.
"Madam is back. She seems to have caught a chill this morning. Quickly, bring her a cloak."
Hearing the sounds of servants bustling about, Yuan Siyin glanced into the distance and asked, "Should we go to the outskirts of the city now?"
"My parents just got back. Sister Siyin, wouldn't you like to stay at the Qi residence for lunch?"
Qi Xinxin carefully put the grass rabbit away and tilted her head to look at her.
"Forget it, I can't handle this kind of situation, and there's no need to keep bringing up things I've done."
Yuan Si sighed, speaking from the heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Siyin." Qi Xinxin smiled sweetly, grabbed her hand, and ran off.
Father Qi had a lot to say from the bottom of his heart, and he even wrote a cheat sheet on his palm in fear that he wouldn't remember it. But as soon as he rushed over, he saw the two girls disappear over the wall.
Father Qi: "..."
We'll push down the wall tomorrow; we can't let the general's daughter twist her ankle.
