Chapter 51: Choosing Sides Early
After saying this, he left with a group of followers, but after taking only two steps, he turned back and waved to her, saying, "Goodbye!"
Yuan Siyin nodded reluctantly and waved to him, "Goodbye, haha..."
Goodbye my ass.
It would be strange if we met again.
What kind of people are these?
Too lazy to dwell on the little incident, Yuan Siyin quickly finished her wontons, wiped her mouth, and was about to leave when she realized she hadn't paid yet. After some deliberation, she left a note on the table with some loose silver coins before happily departing.
Little did she know that many people secretly took the loose silver and stuffed it into their sleeves, but when they saw the three crooked characters "Yuan Siyin" on the note below, they were immediately frightened and dropped it.
So much so that the silver coins were exposed to the sun and rain, and finally, after the note was blurred by the rain and the writing became illegible, it was taken away by a beggar.
But let's get back to the present.
In the past few days, Yu Shiyan has gradually accepted Liu Huai and can at least tolerate his frequency of coming three times a day, which has made things much easier for her.
Just then, Qi Xinxin invited her to her residence. After exchanging greetings with Liu Huai, and leaving Ziyuan and Bai Tu to serve in Changbai Palace, Yuan Siyin finally felt at ease and left the palace.
Even if others come looking for trouble, and Bai Tu's words don't carry weight, there's still Zi Yuan there.
Following the route map drawn by Qi Xinxin, Yuan Siyin soon arrived at the vermilion gate. The plaque with the two characters "Qi Mansion" hung high, the strokes of the brush sharp and rhythmic, appearing extremely powerful.
He raised his hand and knocked on the vermilion door. Immediately, footsteps came from inside, followed by an old and deep voice: "Wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the brown robe opened the door.
The old man was over seventy years old, with white hair and beard, and somewhat cloudy eyes, but his back was still ramrod straight.
His gaze swept over Yuan Siyin and finally settled on the note in her hand.
"Please, Miss Yuan."
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion, as if he had known she would come all along.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin nodded and stepped over the threshold.
At first glance, the Qi residence doesn't seem very large, but its layout is well-organized.
Stepping into the courtyard, one is greeted by lush greenery. In the center of the courtyard, there are some evergreen trees. It is the height of summer, when the leaves are turning yellow and the flowers are in full bloom, creating a vibrant and exciting scene.
The interior is beautiful, quiet and elegant, a stark contrast to the bustling streets outside.
"Please sit down, Miss Yuan."
The steward, Yin Yuan Siyin, sat on a stone bench at the edge of the pavilion. He then brought tea and pastries, placed them on the table, and respectfully withdrew.
It seems they went to invite Qi Xinxin.
Yuan Siyin picked up a pastry and ate a couple of bites out of boredom, then stared blankly at the shimmering lake.
I wonder how Little White Flower is doing.
The reason he rushed out of the palace this time was largely to bring Qi Xinxin into the palace.
The fact that the female lead missed her first meeting with the male lead is entirely her fault, so why can't she make up for it later?
Furthermore, the innocent girl is currently in a vulnerable position. As long as she clings to the female lead and gets the female lead to adopt a conciliatory approach, there is hope that she can survive until the finale.
Yuan Siyin let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she glanced across the lake to the opposite side of the pavilion. A maid standing at the door lifted the curtain, and a person emerged from inside, bowing slightly.
"Lord Qi, please reconsider. The court is constantly changing, so it's best to keep your eyes open and choose sides as soon as possible."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Wang. I am but a military man, and I have not yet established myself in the capital. There is no rush in this matter."
A middle-aged man with a stubble beard came out with them, exchanged a few polite words, and saw them off.
