Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned. Suisui was still so young, yet she already knew about hatred? And she’d said she *thought* she hated him. It seemed she had deeply considered the question of whether she truly hated him or not. "Since you hate him, why do you want to save his leg?" "The ones who wanted to bury me were Grandma and Second Aunt He. Second Uncle, he..." Xiaosuisui paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Second Uncle used to hold me. He said that since I don’t have a father, I should think of him as my father!" "This..." Everyone was stunned. "So that’s how it was! Second Uncle Li probably wasn’t bad-hearted. Why then did Old Lady Li and Zhao Chunxiang treat our Suisui so cruelly?" Ji Youran said, perplexed. Ji Youcheng, however, disagreed. "Some people are good at hiding their true intentions. I’ve seen plenty of people in the business world who say one thing and do another." Zhu Xiuxiu, however, shook her head. "That’s not necessarily true. Suisui is four and a half now. I remember when I went to Ling Village, Suisui was already over a year old. Mother took me to see her. Back then, she was as pretty as a picture and very well-nourished, drinking Zhao Chunxiang’s milk. She wasn’t being mistreated by the Li Family at that time." "What are you trying to say?" Ji Youran jumped to his feet, cutting Zhu Xiuxiu off. "Let me tell you, it’s an undeniable fact that our darling girl almost died! If a disciple from our Medicine King Residence hadn’t been in Baiyun Town at the time, and if Eldest Brother hadn’t returned with the Rejuvenation Pill so promptly, Xiaosuisui would have definitely died! This is no time to be sympathizing with them!" Zhu Xiuxiu had been on the verge of a rare insightful moment, wanting to analyze why the Li Family had suddenly started mistreating Xiaosuisui, but Ji Youran had cut her off sharply. She was so angry her fiery temper almost made her lash out. "If you weren’t my Second Brother, believe me, I’d beat you until you couldn’t take care of yourself today!" Ji Youran snorted. "You dare hit me? You think I won’t hit back?" Ji Youcheng shot a sharp glance at Ji Youran. "Second Brother, it’s been a while since we last sparred. Let’s go to the backyard for a session." He then pulled Ji Youran away. "Hey, no, Third Brother! I can’t beat you, I know that! Don’t use me for practice! If you want to fight, go find Fourth Brother! His martial prowess is the highest in the family. If you’re afraid you can’t beat Fourth Brother, then go find Seventh Brother! He’s the Divine Hunter; he can take you on!" Watching her Third Uncle suddenly drag her Second Uncle away, Xiaosuisui furrowed her brows. She quickly turned to her Third Aunt. "Third Aunt, I still have so much more to say." Zhu Xiuxiu said, "...Darling, please don’t say any more. Third Aunt knows you want to save your Second Uncle Li’s leg, but your Second Uncle Ji Youran already said he won’t treat anyone from the Li Family. Not only that, he personally ordered that no one from the Medicine King Residence is to treat them. I’m afraid there’s no one in all of Yang City who can treat your Second Uncle Li’s leg now." Hearing this, the little girl couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected. After a moment’s thought, she added uncertainly, "Actually, there might be someone else who can." Zhu Xiuxiu turned to look at her. "Who else in this world possesses medical skills comparable to your Second Uncle Ji Youran’s? Someone who could save your Second Uncle Li’s leg!" "The National Master! He also knows medicine." Zhu Xiuxiu thought for a moment. "I have heard that. The National Master is indeed skilled in the medical arts." Once Xiaosuisui received this confirmation, she started pulling Zhu Xiuxiu towards the door. "Hey! Where are you going? Slow down! We still have to wait for your Third Uncle to show you the properties he’s arranged for you!" "I’m going to find Second Uncle Li and tell him to find the National Master!" Zhu Xiuxiu quickly grabbed her. "Just for that? We can send a young apprentice from the pharmacy to tell him."
