Chapter 206: Xie Yingying Bites Randomly, Xie Panpan Defends Herself

Chapter 206

The young Emperor, however, let out a "PFFT" and chuckled. "My daughter certainly has good taste! In that case, your Little Uncle must be the most beautiful person in the world!"

Ji Youze gritted his teeth upon hearing this.

If others weren’t present, he would want to commit regicide!

However, he soon heard Xiaosuisui retort, "No, he’s not! Little Uncle isn’t as handsome as Your Majesty, my adoptive father!"

The young Emperor’s face stiffened. A snigger from Ji Youze reached his ears.

Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er, who had rushed over after receiving the news, arrived just in time to witness this scene.

The Emperor’s face... that must really sting!

they thought.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er curtsied to the young Emperor. The young Emperor had previously decreed that the Ji Family did not need to perform the full kowtow when meeting members of the royal family. Their curtsy stood in stark contrast to the Xie Family, who were still kneeling on the ground, unable to rise.

"You may rise. You two Madams Ji have arrived just in time. I’ll leave matters here to you and Youze to handle. I shall take Suisui back to the Palace now."

As the young Emperor said this, he turned to leave. Huo Xing’Er took a step sideways, directly blocking his path.

"Your Majesty! Our Old Madam has fallen ill with worry over Suisui leaving home. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take Suisui back to the Palace today."

The unspoken message was clear: if he wanted to take their little darling away, he would have to get past Old Madam Ji first.

The young Emperor:

...

"Very well! In that case, I shall pay a visit to the Ji Mansion first!"

With that, the young Emperor departed.

"We respectfully see Your Majesty off!"

Huo Xing’Er, Zhu Xiuxiu, Ji Youze, and the others silently bid the Emperor farewell in their hearts. Once he was out of sight, Zhu Xiuxiu, Huo Xing’Er, and Ji Youze rose and exchanged formal greetings.

"Your younger brother, Youze, greets you, my two Sisters-in-law. Greetings to you both!"

Zhu Xiuxiu replied, "Eighth Brother, you are too courteous. I am your Third Sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuxiu, and this is your Second Sister-in-law, Huo Xing’Er. His Majesty just gave a verbal command for us sisters-in-law to handle the matters here together with you. Do you know what has transpired?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youze hurriedly said, "Third Sister-in-law, from what I can see, this appears to be a domestic matter among women, affairs of the inner household. It would be most appropriate for you and Second Sister-in-law to handle it."

At Ji Youze’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er surveyed the Courtyard thoroughly, their brows furrowing.

"Our Suisui wouldn’t have appeared in your home for no reason. Can someone explain what happened from beginning to end?"

Huo Xing’Er’s gaze swept over Madam Xie, Pan’Er’s mother Madam Luo, Xie Pan’Er, and Xie Yingying.

When their eyes fell on Xie Yingying’s face, they immediately understood the origin of her injuries!

"Don’t ask me! I don’t know anything! It was Xie Pan’Er! The Princess was abducted by Xie Pan’Er! If you want to assign blame, then blame her!"

?

A large question mark formed in the minds of Ji Youze, Zhu Xiuxiu, and Huo Xing’Er.

This question arose in Ji Youze’s mind because what this young girl said was completely different from what Xiaosuisui had told Long Wu when he had questioned her earlier.

Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er’s doubt, however, stemmed from knowing their own child far too well.

To say nothing of other things, just based on the abilities of their precious treasure Feifei, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl like Xie Pan’Er, even the Captain of His Majesty the Emperor’s Inner Guard might not be able to catch her.

However, Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er did not voice these thoughts, merely staring coldly at Xie Yingying.

No!

To be precise, they were looking at Xie Yingying’s blinded eye and the injured half of her face!

"Who are you? What do you mean by that? Explain yourself clearly!"

Zhu Xiuxiu, feigning ignorance, stared at Xie Yingying and questioned her sharply.
