Upon hearing Zhu Xiuxiu’s question, Xie Yingying believed she had gained Zhu Xiuxiu’s trust and cast a triumphant glance at Xie Pan’Er. "Madam, my name is Xie Yingying. I am the young mistress of the Xie Family. This person here is Xie Pan’Er, my cousin, and also my personal Girl. Today, she went out to buy preserved fruit for me and ran into the young Princess, who was out alone. Taking advantage of the Princess’s young age and with evil intent, she abducted her to our Mansion. As for what she intends to do, we know nothing. Ladies, and you, Young Master, if you wish to punish and blame someone, blame her. This matter has nothing to do with the members of our Xie Family or anyone else!" Upon hearing Xie Yingying’s words, Xie Pan’Er was taken aback, her wide eyes incredulously fixed on Xie Yingying. "Cousin... what nonsense are you spouting? When did I abduct the Princess?" Xie Pan’Er queried Xie Yingying urgently and angrily. "I’m not spouting nonsense. What I am saying is the truth. You tell me then, if you didn’t abduct the Princess—a mere child—how did she end up at our Mansion? And descending from the roof, no less! Don’t think I don’t know that you usually practice martial arts quietly when you have free time. You, Xie Pan’Er, are indeed good at hiding. On the surface, you seem to have only average martial arts talent, but the way you descended from the roof with the Princess earlier even startled me! If I hadn’t witnessed it with my own eyes, I would not believe that your lightness skill was so good!" Upon hearing these words from Xie Yingying, Huo Xing’Er and Zhu Xiuxiu exchanged glances, gleaning much information from her statement. They looked at Xie Yingying’s face for a moment, then, without saying more, turned to Xie Pan’Er. "Do you have anything to say?" Xie Pan’Er shook her head vigorously. "No, it’s not like that. Madam, I did not abduct the Princess. I met the Princess at Zhiwei Restaurant. I didn’t kidnap her. Please believe me, I really didn’t abduct the Princess!" "You say you met the Princess at Zhiwei Restaurant?" Zhu Xiuxiu asked. "Yes!" "What happened at Zhiwei Restaurant?" What happened at Zhiwei Restaurant? Xie Pan’Er murmured to herself. Then she began to explain, her words tumbling out. "I went to Zhiwei Restaurant to buy preserved fruit. While waiting in line, I heard a commotion coming from within. Upon closer inspection, I saw a white rabbit stealing preserved fruit from Zhiwei Restaurant. The shopkeeper got angry and ordered Xiao Er to catch the rabbit. Inside Zhiwei Restaurant, many things were knocked over, creating a big mess. Then the Princess showed up. At first, the shopkeeper couldn’t find out the Princess’s identity, so he asked me to help inquire. It took me quite a while to find out. Madam, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the shopkeeper of Zhiwei Restaurant!" Huo Xing’Er glanced at Zhu Xiuxiu. "Third Sister-in-law, in your opinion, should we bring in the shopkeeper from Zhiwei Restaurant for questioning?" Zhu Xiuxiu shook her head. "No need. I went to Zhiwei Restaurant earlier looking for Suisui. The shopkeeper’s story is consistent with this girl’s. But what I don’t understand is, if you separated from Suisui at Zhiwei Restaurant, then how did you end up together at the Xie Mansion?" Hearing Zhu Xiuxiu’s question, Xie Pan’Er was nearly brought to tears. Reflecting on all that had happened since she’d met the Princess, she felt utterly heartbroken. "Madam, you might not be aware, but my mother is ill. She often catches a cold when the seasons change. So I went to the Ping’an Pharmacy to get her two portions of medicine to ward off the chill. However, after I left the pharmacy, a beggar tried to steal my medicine. I shouted ’Thief!’ and chased him. Surprisingly, the Princess heard my call in the street and she also started chasing the thief. So we met again at the City God Temple in West City. Madam, I am telling the truth. Please believe me. If you don’t, you can have someone bring in the beggar from the City God Temple for verification."
