Chapter 298: Adding Fuel to the Fire
On the other hand, although Si Yuzhu left, she didn't completely leave.
At least one original copy remains.
As for the secrets that were just overheard...
She rubbed her temples and summoned Zi Yuan to secretly help push things along.
Si Yuzhu's analysis was correct; doing so would indeed help the Si family.
Since this storyline hadn't surfaced before, she hadn't thought about bringing it up too early. However, since the Si family was interested, as a cousin, she should at least offer some assistance.
Hearing that Si Yuzhu was alright, Hongxiu prepared dinner and came to invite her with a smile: "Miss, dinner is ready."
Yuan Siyin nearly choked on her own spit: "Don't always learn bad things from me!"
Hongxiu gave a half-understanding reply, "Okay, let's get this going."
Yuan Siyin: "..."
Hongxiu is truly a hidden talent; she learned popular internet slang so quickly.
"Is her name A-Qing now?" she asked casually as she walked ahead.
“I called for him, but the young master hasn’t seemed to have much of an appetite these past few days. He doesn’t eat much of the food that’s brought to his courtyard.”
Yuan Siyin stopped in her tracks: "What's going on?"
"This... I don't know either. I tried it a couple of days ago, and even using Four Happiness Meatballs to coax her didn't work."
When exactly did this happen?
Hongxiu shook her head. "I asked the young master's page, and he only said that the young master has been sullen ever since he came back from school. He doesn't know anything else."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Siyin changed direction and walked straight towards Yuan Fuqing's courtyard with the speed of the wind.
Halfway there, she stopped and said, "Send a servant to ask if Juxianlou is still making Four Happiness Meatballs at this hour."
Hongxiu subconsciously looked up at the sky: "I'm afraid we shouldn't do too much."
"Then just give them my name, and they won't dare not do it."
Yuan Siyin was no longer in the mood for jokes. Half worried and half angry, she quickened her pace and walked towards the courtyard.
Two guards stood outside the courtyard, their hands gripping their knives, exuding an aura that threatened to keep anyone from entering. But when they saw the menacing-looking newcomer, their legs went weak.
"Miss, the young master..."
"Get out of the way."
"Okay."
The guards wiped their sweat and, with remarkable awareness, slipped to either side.
As soon as she stepped through the round doorway, Yuan Siyin paused. "Call Aqing's pageboy here."
The poor pageboy had just picked up his chopsticks and hadn't even had a chance to let go when he was suddenly grabbed by two guards and taken to Yuan Siyin.
Knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, the page immediately knelt down on the ground, chopsticks in hand, sweating profusely: "Please forgive me, Miss!"
“Forgive what sin? Explain yourself clearly, and then I’ll see if I should forgive you.”
Yuan Siyin turned her back and didn't even glance at the person on the ground.
"this……"
Although he knelt down quickly, the pageboy still hesitated.
On one side is the young master, on the other is the young lady; how should I choose?
Think before you speak.
Yuan Siyin paced back and forth in front of him unhurriedly: "It's okay, no rush, I'll give you plenty of time to think it over."
Upon hearing that there was still hope for a resolution, the pageboy was racking his brains to come up with an excuse when he heard Yuan Siyin's lips part slightly: "3—2—"
Pageboy: "..."
Just kill me.
Who has enough time but only three seconds? That's so pathetic.
But since the person in front of him was Yuan Siyin, even if the young page had objections, he dared not utter a sound.
"Sister, don't make things difficult for him. He didn't do anything wrong."
Yuan Fuqing could no longer sit idly by. He covered his face with his sleeve, pushed open the door, and called out softly to his elder sister.
