Chapter 68

Before encountering the man in black, Song Jiyun might have considered ways to persuade Yuan Yunzhong.

But now, all she hoped for was to avoid further conflict with him.

She sat down beside him with a smile and teased, "Persuade Young Master Yuan?! I'm afraid I have the will but not the power! You, who cannot be bent by force or corrupted by wealth, while I only carry a few pieces of silver, truly find it challenging to move you."

Yuan Yunzhong paused with his tea in hand.

Yet, Song Jiyun had made up her mind to commit the blunder without correcting it, and her smile grew more sincere as she said, "I will go check on Song Li in a bit. Would you like to rest in the elegant room, Young Master Yuan?"

Yuan Yunzhong said, "Aren't you going to interrogate that thief?"

"What's there to interrogate if I cannot employ private punishment?" Song Jiyun shook her head.

Yuan Yunzhong scrutinized her unabashedly, his face full of suspicion.
