"Princess, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean for the Eighth Prince to bully anyone. I’m just guessing that if my cousin-sister and cousin-brother can be released from the Celestial Prison, the Eighth Prince should have the authority to decide this matter."Upon hearing Xie Pan’Er speak, Old Madam Xie couldn’t help but look at Huo Xing’Er and Zhu Xiuxiu. Yesterday, Ji Youzhi and Ji Youze had entered the Palace with the Emperor and hadn’t returned yet. It seemed they wouldn’t be back until nightfall today. "Whether he has the authority to make the decision is hard to say, but if he pleads with His Majesty the Emperor, it should likely be fine," Zhu Xiuxiu said, coughing impatiently. In fact, both she and Huo Xing’Er knew very well that if First Madam Xie had produced the servitude agreement yesterday, and they, as sisters-in-law, had assisted the Eighth Prince in handling the Xie Family’s household affairs, then Xie Yingying and Xie Yinghui likely wouldn’t have been imprisoned. "That would be best!" Xie Pan’Er’s face showed a resolute expression. "I’ll return home shortly. If things are as I suspect, my Eldest Aunt—who has been fruitlessly seeking help all day—will inevitably think of me, knowing I am favored by the Princess. She will surely come to me for help." "So, you intend to use this situation to retrieve your mother’s servitude agreement? Once you have your mother’s servitude agreement back, your family will no longer be controlled by First Madam Xie." Zhu Xiuxiu thought this could be a viable method. "Not just that!" Xie Pan’Er’s face was filled with excitement, her eyes shining! "I also want to use this opportunity to break away from the clan, to have them remove us from the clan records. I want my father to establish a new family register and our own Ancestral Hall. From now on, we will be a separate branch." "Mm! Ambitious! That would indeed solve the problem once and for all," Old Madam Ji laughed. Zhu Xiuxiu, ever impetuous, said, "That’s an excellent idea! I’ll have someone send a message to the Palace immediately, ensuring the Xie Family has no other recourse and is forced to seek Pan’Er’s help!" Xiaosuisui blinked, tilting her head. She pondered every detail of the Xie Family’s situation, from its beginning to the present: her beautiful older sister’s methods, the reactions of her Third and Second Maternal Aunts, her Maternal Grandmother, the actions of her Seventh and Eighth Maternal Uncles, and what His Majesty, her adoptive father, had said after appearing. She connected all these events in her mind. It felt as if she understood something, yet at the same time, she understood nothing at all, leaving her in a muddled state. Xiaosuisui didn’t realize it then, but at that very moment, she was beginning to learn the rules of survival in this world. "Old Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, it’s time for this commoner to return home," Xie Pan’Er said, having formulated a plan and wishing to take her leave. Old Madam Ji nodded. "Mm! You may go first. Third Daughter-in-law, select two people to accompany and attend to her." Xie Pan’Er quickly waved her hands. "There’s no need, Old Madam. I am just an ordinary commoner; I usually do the serving. How could I accept being served by others?" "Alright, just listen to the Old Madam on this," Zhu Xiuxiu interjected. "Don’t you want to handle this matter smoothly?" This... Xie Pan’Er, understanding the reason behind Zhu Xiuxiu’s words, quickly knelt and kowtowed to Old Madam Ji again. Then, with the two young maids Zhu Xiuxiu had assigned her, and Xiaosuisui, she headed back to the Xie Family residence. "This little girl, this vast Ji Mansion just can’t seem to hold her!" Old Madam Ji said with a touch of resignation. Huo Xing’Er quickly said, "Please don’t worry, Mother. Third Sister-in-law and I will go to the Bright Moon Pavilion to buy some gifts, and then we’ll go to the Xie Family’s place to look after things. We won’t let anything happen to Suisui." "Go then! Settle the Xie Family’s affairs as soon as possible. Bring them back to learn the rules, and you also need to find a way to control Xiaosuisui’s mouth!"
