Regardless of whether it would fit, Xiaobai had already left, and she was Xiaobaiâs Master. She couldnât just abandon it like that, could she?
So, the Girl bent down, squeezed her head through, and followed it out.
The streets of Capital City were bustling, with pedestrians flowing like water.
Suisui had been out for quite some time, but she hadnât seen any trace of Xiaobai.
She walked along, shouting "Xiaobai" and searching.
Then she bumped her head against someoneâs thigh.
"Ouch!"
Rubbing her very sore little head, she looked up at the person she had bumped into, her eyes widening. "Pretty Sister! How can it be you?"
Xie PanâEr was also quite taken aback. How had this little girl run into her?
Thinking about Xie Yingyingâs current state, she instinctively took a step back and forced an awkward smile. "You recognize me?" she asked tentatively.
Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously. "I do, I do! Youâre the Xie Familyâs Third Miss, Xie PanâEr."
"How do you know that?" After asking, Xie PanâEr couldnât help but feel she was being rather foolish. This girlâs family must have investigated the Xie Family because of Xie Yingying.
"Did your parents investigate the Xie Family because Xie Yingying offended you?"
When Xie PanâEr asked this, she was quite cautious, her heart leaping into her throat.
Heavens, Xie Yingyingâs disastrous actions... please donât let them bring trouble to Mom and Dad! Life for Mom and Dad in the Xie Family was already difficult. If they offended some important figure because of Xie Yingyingâs disastrous actions, they would definitely be used as punching bags by the main branch in the future.
"Investigate the Xie Family?" Xiaosuisui shook her head. "I donât know!"
Her reply was remarkably straightforward. She grabbed Xie PanâErâs arm and asked, "Pretty Sister, have you seen Xiaobai? It disappeared after coming out of the hole. Iâve been looking for a long time and still havenât found it. I donât know where it ran off to."
Xie PanâEr did know that Xiaobai was this little girlâs pet rabbit.
Everything Xie Yingying was suffering now was because of that rabbit.
Xie PanâErâs heart ached with bitterness. Xie Yingying, blinded and disfigured by the rabbit, constantly tormented her.
Because no one in Yang City could treat Xie Yingying, the Xie Family and Lu Yunsheng discussed it and decided everyone should rush back to Capital City, traveling day and night by fast horse.
The Xie Family members were exhausted from the non-stop travel. Upon reaching Capital City, everyone was weary in body and spirit. Yet, that Eldest Miss Xie insisted on having preserved fruit from Zhiwei Restaurant, specifically demanding that Xie PanâEr personally go and buy it.
Actually, Xie PanâEr knew very well that Xie Yingying didnât genuinely want preserved fruit from Zhiwei Restaurant; she was just finding ways to torment her.
"Sister hasnât seen your rabbit. You should look somewhere else!"
Thinking of Xie Yingyingâs torment, and then of this little girl whose words very possibly came trueâto put it bluntly, a legendary âcrowâs mouthââshe desperately wanted to keep a wide berth from her!
"Oh! Then Iâll go look somewhere else." The Girl didnât overthink it, turned, and left, planning to search elsewhere.
Xie PanâEr went to Zhiwei Restaurant. Although it was already past noon, there was still a long line of people waiting to buy preserved fruit. Several types of preserved fruit here were special supplies, with only fifty portions sold daily before they stopped. Even the ordinary ones that sold particularly well required taking a number and queuing. As for the others, they were sold as available; whatever they had on hand that day was sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Xie PanâEr took a number and queued. She hadnât been standing for long before she started yawning, her body utterly exhausted.
Suddenly, a loud shout erupted beside her, "Get away! Where did this damned rabbit come from, causing trouble here! Someone, quickly drive this rabbit away for me!"
Hearing the word "rabbit," Xie PanâEr, already exhausted, couldnât help her eyelids from twitching!
A rabbit? Could it be the one she was thinking of? The rabbit that could avenge its master?
Thinking of the little girl she had parted from not long ago, Xie PanâEr wailed inwardly,
Little girl! I miss you!
