Chapter 207: Fed to the Dogs
"Miss, wake up, it's time to get up."
"Don't bother me, let me sleep a little longer."
Yuan Siyin's face was almost completely scrunched up. Ignoring everyone's calls, she buried her head in the blanket and said, "Five minutes—"
Ziyuan protested while pulling hard on the brocade quilt, "What do you mean by 'division of the middle'? Every time you mention this 'division of the middle', we have to sleep until noon!"
A young lady's words are deceitful, especially those who sleep in late in the morning.
Zi Yuan tried her best but to no avail, and finally had no choice but to open the food box: "Steamed buns, feed them to the dog."
Yuan Siyin immediately opened her eyes, somewhat startled, and threw off the covers. She then rubbed her eyes, sat up, and muttered to herself, "Why did I dream about Ziyuan again..."
"It's not a dream, Miss."
Seeing that the person had woken up, Zi Yuan turned and walked back to the table outside the screen, taking out the food from the food box and arranging it in a dish.
"It was the Empress Dowager who sent Eunuch Quan to bring me into the palace, saying that you had traveled a long way and were tired, so she sent me to serve you."
Yuan Siyin watched Ziyuan's busy figure through the purple gauze screen, still somewhat dazed.
It felt like waking up from a dream, as if from another world.
She propped her head up and thought for a while, then naturally closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Zi Yuan seemed to have anticipated her move, and calmly turned around to strike again: "Hey..."
Yuan Siyin painfully got up, without even opening her eyes, and after getting off the bed, she easily found her way to the dressing table and sat down.
Zi Yuan wrung out a towel and carefully wiped her face, then brought her hot tea to rinse her mouth. After doing all that, she stood behind her and combed her hair, without letting Yuan Siyin move an inch.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Yuanchao immediately became smug again, "This spring banquet is for idle people. I am ordered to inspect the salt, so please excuse me for not accompanying you."
Yu Shiyan found the person in front of him increasingly displeasing.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Yuanchao immediately became smug again, "This spring banquet is for idle people. I am ordered to inspect the salt, so please excuse me for not accompanying you."
Everyone knows that inspecting salt is a lucrative job, and the Emperor's intention in assigning this task to him is self-evident.
"Take care, brother." Yu Shiyan nodded.
Yu Yuanchao was enraged by his nonchalant demeanor. She stood up, picked up the porcelain cup, and smashed it on the ground. Then she grabbed his collar and said, "Did I have been in a good mood for a while and make you forget your attitude towards your brother? Just because you have Si Yin backing you up, you think I can't teach you a lesson?"
I don't know what she sees in you, but whatever it is, she will eventually willingly become my person and help me ascend the throne!
"Sister Siyin?"
Yu Shiyan chuckled and repeated, slowly prying open his knuckles, his eyes filled with chilling coldness: "Brother is overthinking it. Even if you think highly of the Yuan family, the Yuan family may not choose you."
Yu Shiyan smiled and didn't continue.
Extremes beget their opposites; sometimes, saying only half of what you mean can be more effective.
As expected, Yu Yuanchao immediately lost interest in arguing with him. Although his face was ugly and he was clearly angry, he turned around and left without saying a word.
Yu Shiyan squatted down and slowly gathered several pieces of broken porcelain into his palm. He then slowly tightened his grip until the sharp points pierced his skin, and a series of broken beads of blood gushed out. Only then did he indifferently release his hand, watching the fragments, now stained with beautiful blood, fall back to the ground.
He stood up, and a mocking snort drifted away on the wind.
Isn't it ridiculous that others are jealous of what you hate most?
Unfortunately, there are some things he didn't need before, so naturally he doesn't care about them now.
Moreover, it's uncertain whether this belated arrival will even happen.
