Ji Youbo pushed Ji Youyuan, who was still in the wheelchair.
To this day, he was baffled. His older brotherâs leg had obviously healed, but he still needed to be pushed around everywhere. He had no idea what was going on in his brotherâs mind!
Ji Youyuan gave Zhu Xiuxiu a look, signaling her to continue questioning.
Zhu Xiuxiu understood in an instant. She coughed once and asked Xiaosuisui softly, "My dear, you didnât go downstairs and pick a fight with that woman by saying those things, did you?"
Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes!"
Zhu Xiuxiu: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
The young Emperorâs face was terribly cold.
If this Xie Yingying truly possesses the Phoenix Destiny, then he resolved to make her disappear from this world. How could such an ill-mannered, arrogant, and domineering person be fit to be the mother of the nation?
"Huh... Where is Xiaobai?"
The little girl, after finishing her meal, finally, belatedly, remembered her little pet.
Everyone exchanged glances and searched the private room, but found nothing.
"Your Majesty, Lord God Hunter is missing. He has likely gone to find the rabbit."
A shadow guard, noticing Ji Youzhiâs absence, reported back to the young Emperor.
The young Emperor said, "If thatâs the case, your Xiaobai is probably no longer in the restaurant."
Upon hearing that Xiaobai was no longer in the private room, Xiaosuisui stood up and dashed out.
"Xiaosuisui, donât run off! Where are you going?"
Without turning her head, Xiaosuisui replied, "Iâm going to find Xiaobai!"

At the Lantern Festival on the banks of the curving river.
One after another, beautiful lanterns were hung along the riverbank, each painted with various auspicious floral and faunal motifs.
Some people began to set off firecrackers and fireworks by the riverside. The sky was filled with dazzling and brilliant displays.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Quick, look! The rabbit on that lantern is so beautiful! Itâs incredibly lifelike, as if a real rabbit is standing on top of it!"
These words drew everyoneâs gaze towards the lanterns along the riverbank. Everyone was momentarily stunned.
"That rabbit on the lantern is indeed beautiful. It looks so realâlook, its long little ears are even moving!"
"Heavens, thatâs not a depiction of a rabbit; itâs clearly a live rabbit standing on the lantern!"
Hearing this, everyone strained their eyes to get a closer look and couldnât help but be dumbfounded. "Good heavens, it really is a live rabbit!"
Xie Yingying, who had been thrown out of the restaurant by the young Emperorâs shadow guards, was currently seething with suppressed anger. Lu Yunsheng trailed beside her, softly trying to placate her. "Yingying, donât be angry. Itâs just a rabbit, isnât it?"
"Once weâre back in Capital City, Iâll buy you eight or ten. Theyâll be a hundred times prettier and more beautiful than that ugly creatureâs rabbit."
Xie Yingying had suffered one humiliation after another today and felt she had lost considerable face. Her proud and arrogant nature made her face contort with rage. Listening to Lu Yunshengâs carefully chosen sweet nothings, she began to feel slightly better. Besides, that little wretch, Xie PanâEr, was still trailing behind them! Previously, Lu Yunshengâs eyes were always fixed on Xie PanâEr.
At this moment, she felt as if she had thoroughly triumphed over Xie PanâEr, reveling in the thrill of having snatched Lu Yunsheng from her!
Suddenly, hearing people exclaim about a live rabbit on a lantern, Xie Yingying looked up. Her eyes widened, and a cold glint flashed within them!
"Itâs that rabbit! I want that rabbit!"
Hearing Xie Yingyingâs words, Lu Yunshengâs brow twitched.
"Isnât that the rabbit the little girl was holding earlier?"
