"Pan’Er, Suisui’s Third Aunt was at the scene when this happened. She’s one of the eyewitnesses!" Lady Ji knew Xie Pan’Er wouldn’t believe her own brother would assassinate the Princess of Nanjiang. But that was the reality, and she had to tell her. "How... How could this be?" Xie Pan’Er muttered to herself. "Could Third Lady have seen it wrong?" Lady Ji sighed and remained silent. The horse carriage trotted towards Ji Mansion. The faint sound of Xie Pan’Er’s sobs could be heard from inside the carriage! "Pretty Sister is very sad!" Xiaosuisui lifted the carriage curtain, looking towards the carriage her maternal grandmother and Pretty Sister were in. Listening to Pretty Sister’s crying, she felt a dazed, inexplicable sadness in her heart. "After all, that’s her biological brother! I’ve heard that Miss Xie and her brother are very close," Nanny Zhang sighed softly, explaining to Xiaosuisui. Xiaosuisui nodded, as if only half-understanding, and whispered, "I don’t want Pretty Sister to be sad." Nanny Zhang gently patted her small head and said, "It will get better. Life is ; no matter what happens, time eventually washes everything away!" "Can time wash away all of Pretty Sister’s sadness?" Nanny Zhang nodded affirmatively. "Yes, it will. Princess, you must believe that this will pass." Xiaosuisui watched Nanny Zhang nod, then nodded along herself. "Mhm! It will definitely pass!" The carriage came to a stop. Yunxiang lifted the curtain and carried Xiaosuisui out. Right in front of them, waiting by the entrance, stood Huo Xing’Er and Zhu Xiuxiu. "Second Aunt! Third Aunt!" Xiaosuisui cheerfully called out to her two aunts, then saw them both open their arms to her at the same time! Xiaosuisui blinked, unsure for a moment whose embrace she should rush into! "Sweetheart, come! Third Aunt will take you to eat Roasted Duck from Chef Zhou at Luming Academy!" "Ah! Really?" Xiaosuisui’s eyes widened, her dark pupils shining brightly. "Of course, it’s still warm! Third Aunt personally went to Chef Zhou to get it." Chef Zhou’s Roasted Duck from Luming Academy was usually only available to the academy’s students; outsiders could hardly get their hands on it. However, this was no match for Zhu Xiuxiu’s wealth. To ensure her little darling could eat it whenever she craved, Zhu Xiuxiu had brazenly barged into Luming Academy in the dead of night, carrying thousands of silver banknotes. She entered Chef Zhou’s room and slowly counted the banknotes, one by one, until Chef Zhou was practically drooling.

Xiaosuisui reached out her hands towards Zhu Xiuxiu and dived straight into her embrace. Huo Xing’Er watched and could only facepalm. Back in Sweet Aroma Courtyard, Xiaobai had already built itself a nest in the old locust tree that had once been struck by lightning. Ever since it provoked Strong Wind by building a nest in an old Willow Tree in the backyard of Cining Palace, it had found building nests in trees to be a very comfortable affair. Seeing Zhu Xiuxiu carrying Xiaosuisui into the courtyard, Xiaobai leaped down from the tree with a WHOOSH. It immediately jumped into Xiaosuisui’s arms. "Xiaobai!" Xiaosuisui called out cheerfully, then reached out to pat its fluffy little head. "Xiaobai, can you smell the Roasted Duck too? Good Xiaobai, we’ll eat Roasted Duck together later, okay?" Xiaobai immediately turned around, presenting its rear to her. Then, with a WHOOSH, it leaped back onto the old locust tree. Roasted Duck, my ass! I’m not a dog. Whenever the Master says they’ll eat Roasted Duck together, she actually treats me like a dog, only ever giving me the bones!
