Chapter 55: Does that mean he doesn't like her?
Yuan Fuqing held the cool, refreshing bowl of shaved ice, tilting his head in thought, seemingly troubled. After a while, he suddenly shouted excitedly, "I know! It'll be fine if my sister marries the Seventh Prince!"
Caught off guard, Yuan Siyin choked and coughed violently before dropping the bowl and immediately starting to pinch her philtrum.
Is this an attempt to kill her, or an attempt to kill her?
"Anyway, the Seventh Prince is a good-for-nothing, and he can't go against his aunt's wishes."
Even if he's blind and doesn't like my older sister, as long as my aunt speaks up, we can take him in and raise him at our household. An extra pair of chopsticks and bowls won't matter; all I want is for my sister to keep A-Qing company.
Yuan Siyin gave a weak smile.
Good brother, does the male lead not like her? He wants your sister dead!
Yuan Siyin held back her anger and let Yuan Fuqing finish his meal to his heart's content before getting up and instructing Hongxiu to clean up the leftovers. She then led him to the spacious training ground in the backyard.
This training ground was originally built by her father for practicing martial arts in the mansion, but unexpectedly, he was away for a long time later, so it became the place where she and Yuan Fuqing practiced martial arts.
"What will you teach me today, sister? Ah Qing doesn't want to practice horse stance anymore, she wants to learn from you, sister..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Siyin knocked him to the ground.
Yuan Fuqing lay on the ground, not quite reacting at first, blinking his eyes blankly, only knowing that the back of his head was buzzing a little.
Ultimately, she couldn't bring herself to be too ruthless; she only moved her legs with confidence after spotting the soft cushion behind her.
"The eldest son of the Yuan family, a man whom everyone would give way to, how could he be taken down so easily?"
Yuan Siyin bent down slightly to look him straight in the eye, her gaze unreadable, a mixture of indifference and mockery.
Yuan Fuqing had never seen his elder sister like this before; at least, she had never treated him like this.
He quickly got up, lowered his head, and carefully pinched her sleeve with two fingers, without even making a crease: "Is Sister angry? Aqing was wrong. Aqing didn't want Sister to be angry."
Yuan Siyin was both angry and heartbroken to see him like this.
It's infuriating that such a well-behaved child was corrupted by the original owner of this body, yet it also makes me feel sorry for him, as if he's afraid Yuan Siyin will abandon him.
But there was nothing she could do but teach him a lesson before he did anything too outrageous to Yu Shiyan.
She had been restless for several days, thinking that if all else failed, she would grit her teeth, send the person far away, and spend more money to create a fake identity.
If she couldn't change her fate, at least he could have survived by living in anonymity.
But looking into his eyes, Yuan Siyin suddenly understood.
Instead of trying to stop the boiling water by adding more water, it's better to cut the Gordian knot and remove the fuel from under the pot.
In fact, Yuan Siyin didn't say much, but Yuan Fuqing inexplicably understood.
From then on, he never mentioned Yu Shiyan again. The little bit of arrogance he had before was suppressed and subdued by this little thing.
Moreover, his relationship with Yuan Siyin not only did not fade, but became even closer.
Otherwise, Yuan Siyin wouldn't have said that he was sensible and that she genuinely loved him like a younger brother.
Changbai Hall in the palace—
Liu Huai and Yu Shiyan changed the gauze and carefully applied the medicine before sitting down to take his pulse.
"Thanks to Miss Yuan's continuous supply of tonics these days, as well as the ginseng bestowed by the Empress Dowager, I have recovered much faster."
Yu Shiyan lowered his dark, unwavering eyes, smoothing out his clothes little by little. Just as he withdrew his hand, he heard him sigh.
"In the past, they would get a good beating at the drop of a hat, and some even lost their lives."
Having observed him these past few days, it really seems like he's undergone a personality change, which is quite strange.
Liu Huai was packing his medicine box while turning his back to himself, but Yu Shiyan heard him clearly.
