"She insulted me and struck the mother of my beautiful sister. I wanted to insult her back, but I remembered what my beautiful sister said. I was angry because she insulted me, but I couldn’t hurl insults back at her. If I wanted to vent my anger, I could just strike her a few times instead. So, I did just that." "You struck her a few times?" Xiaosuisui counted on her fingers, "One, two, three, four... only four times in total!" "With just four strikes, you beat her up like that?" Ji Youze furrowed his brow. Why was he finding it hard to believe? The little Emperor smirked, "You have to believe in your little niece. She is not just a jinx... she possesses Great Divine Techniques, she’s also incredibly strong!" The little Emperor gritted his teeth. He’d nearly been led astray. It was because the little girl had mentioned ’crow’s mouth,’ and he’d almost repeated it himself... As for the little girl’s strength, he had also been a victim. He vividly remembered how this little girl had thrown him off the second floor and then innocently run to complain to Old Lady Ji. Seeing Ji Youze’s reaction now, he finally felt a sense of satisfaction. It wasn’t that he had underestimated her back then; it was simply that the little girl’s young age was incredibly deceptive. "So, your beautiful sister told you that hitting people can vent your anger? That’s why you no longer insult others, but resort to hitting them instead?" Zhu Xiuxiu felt caught between laughter and tears. Xiaosuisui nodded, "Yes! I also feel that insulting others is not good; it’s very unladylike!" Upon hearing this, everyone’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. Insulting others is unladylike, but is hitting people ladylike then? Xie Pan’Er, even more so, wished she could find a hole to crawl into. "That is not how it happened. I had no other choice at the time; the situation was urgent. If my reaction had been even a little slower, that little beggar might have lost his life by noon today! When I spoke that way with the Eldest Princess then, I was purely trying to save a life!" Xie Pan’Er quickly explained. Oh God, now that the Eldest Princess has brought this up, it makes me look like the unladylike one! "Hmm, at least you have some self-awareness. Back at the Xie Family, I observed you were concealing something when speaking about the incident at the City God Temple in West City. Now, do you plan to confess, or should I personally make a trip to ask that little beggar?" Xie Pan’Er was terrified by Huo Xing’Er and waved her hands frantically, urgently saying, "I’ll tell you myself." 「...」「Xie Family」 "Foolishness! Mrs. Lin! You’re usually arrogant and domineering, and that’s one thing, but how could you also raise your daughter to have such a disposition?" The Old Lady of the Xie Family slammed her teacup on the table, her face like frost as she angrily glared at Mrs. Lin. "If it weren’t for Ying Hui and Yingying being sent to the Celestial Prison today, you wouldn’t have even bothered to come to my little Buddha Hall to pay your respects, would you?" The Xie Family was a Noble Family from the previous dynasty. Due to the change of dynasties, coupled with the fact that for several decades the Xie Family had seen each generation weaker than the last, they had steadily declined. The Lin Family was a newly risen power. Back then, if Mrs. Lin hadn’t, in a fit of pique with Xie Wulang, thought of marrying into the Xie Family to torment Xie Wulang and Mrs. Luo, that despicable pair, a family of the Xies’ standing wouldn’t have even entered her sights. Precisely because of this, the Old Lady of the Xie Family held little importance in Mrs. Lin’s eyes. From the moment she married in, Mrs. Lin had taken over the management of the Xie household, completely sidelining the Old Lady’s authority in household affairs. Moreover, she showed no regard for the Old Lady, her mother-in-law, and her gestures of respect, like paying morning greetings, were always perfunctory. The Old Lady knew what Mrs. Lin was thinking. However, Mrs. Lin and her family were powerful, so for the sake of her children’s and grandchildren’s future, she had endured it and retreated to her small Buddha Hall. If it hadn’t been for the significant commotion caused by the Eldest Princess today, leading her to send people to the front courtyard to investigate, she would have remained entirely unaware of what had transpired. Only after summoning her son, daughter-in-law, and several of the Xie Family’s managing Nannies for questioning did she learn that her own legitimate granddaughter and legitimate eldest grandson had both been sent to the Celestial Prison.
