Chapter 273: What a joke!
The man who was with the two turned his head and glanced at her. It was during this brief moment that Yu Shiyan gently shook his head at her.
So it means you're not allowed to take action?
Yuan Siyin blinked, pretending to be "not quite right," and obediently sat down on the ground, then hid the golden whip behind her back.
She's so gentle and delicate; she didn't mean to beat you to death.
The man scoffed, grabbed Yuan Siyin, pulled her up, and shoved her into the house: "Behave yourself, or I'll break your legs and throw you out on the street to beg!"
Yu Shiyan's eyes, which had been filled with coldness, vanished the moment Yuan Siyin leaned closer.
"Fifth Brother! Are there any empty rooms left?"
The man shouted into the room in a rough voice.
"Where are we supposed to find room for these good-for-nothings all day long?!"
The man called Fifth Brother lifted the curtain and came out, carrying several food boxes in his hands. When he saw three more people standing outside, he immediately flew into a rage: "Why are there three more?!"
The fourth brother shrugged helplessly: "Who knows what the eldest brother is thinking? Let's just lock him up for now."
"Easy for you to say, but where are the second and third brothers?"
"They came, dumped the person, and left."
The fifth brother just wanted to curse.
Damn it, all they told him was to deliver food to these people so they wouldn't starve, not to clean each room one by one. Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
"My older brother said it's better to be cautious, otherwise how could we have lived such a comfortable life for so many years?"
The fourth brother, of course, knew his grievances, so he went straight up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Just bear with it. Once the higher-ups give the order, who cares about locking up anyone else?"
The fifth brother, with his neck stiff, finally spoke after a long while, which was considered a concession: "Okay, but there are only two rooms left. There are no more. The three of you will have to squeeze in. If anyone else is sent over, we'll say we can't fit them all!"
The fifth brother then lifted the curtain and herded the three men into the backyard.
“These two are from the same group, so let’s separate them.”
The fourth brother pointed and told the fifth brother to lock Zhong Heng and Yuan Siyin together, while Yu Shiyan would have a separate room.
Zhong Heng spoke first with a cold face, "I know her."
"know?"
The fourth brother frowned, then casually pushed open an empty room and shoved Zhong Heng inside. "That's it, isn't it? Alright, lock the other two up together."
They locked her in the same room as Yu Shiyan?
Yuan Siyin felt a chill run down her spine and tried to object, but Yu Shiyan reached out and hooked her belt with his finger.
Caught off guard, she stumbled two steps. Fortunately, the two men were ahead and didn't see Yu Shiyan's little actions, so they didn't suspect anything.
"Alright, stop dawdling and get inside!"
After throwing down the food box, the fifth brother slammed the door shut and locked it.
Yuan Siyin and Yu Shiyan stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
Yu Shiyan chuckled lightly, seemingly in a good mood: "What a coincidence, Princess."
Yuan Siyin: "..."
What a coincidence! You'll know if it's a coincidence or not once she pulls out her whip and lashes him ten or so times.
"For the princess to find you even in such a remote place, does the princess favor Shi Yan?"
"Instead of babbling at a time like this, you should be thinking about how to get out of here."
Yuan Siyin was about to sit down in annoyance when she noticed that the bench was covered in dust. She then reached into Yu Shiyan's sleeve and rummaged around for a while, successfully finding a handkerchief.
Yu Shiyan chuckled, "Did you notice anything just now?"
Yuan Siyin paused in wiping the dust, then spoke as if casually, "They discovered they were cheating, and then they got angry and locked me up."
