Chapter 283: The curse can be lifted now (Thanks to the Sakura tree on the street for casting the monthly vote and more updates)

Feeling Xiaosuisui’s excitement, Ji Youran was very happy.

Deep down, he had a strong feeling of having found a worthy successor.

"This matter cannot be rushed; we have to wait a bit longer."

Xiaosuisui pouted, saying, "The villains have all been caught by my Eighth Uncle, why can’t we lift the curse now?"

Ji Youran gently touched her little head, softly explaining, "If your Eighth Uncle could come out and stop us before, then whether he can continue also depends on news from him!"

In fact, waiting for Eighth Uncle was just an excuse; what they really needed to wait for was the Imperial Decree. Ji Youze was always inseparable from the young Emperor. When he came out to stop them before, it must have been the young Emperor’s intention, which was as good as an Imperial Decree. To lift the curse now, it would certainly be impossible without an Imperial Decree.

On hearing this, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but pout. She stood in the Courtyard and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Eighth Uncle! Eighth Uncle, come quickly!"

Her loud shout confused everyone in the Courtyard. Huo Xing’Er simply held her forehead in exasperation. Ji Youran’s mouth twitched. Xie Pan’Er and Xie Si both looked around nervously. Xie Wulang had fallen asleep again, and Lady Luo’s legs could no longer support her. Although nervous, they didn’t get up.

The young Emperor on the roof was looking in the direction of the Xie Family’s Courtyard, clearly intending to go over. Ji Youze promptly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, it’s time to return to the Palace!"

The young Emperor squinted at him. "My daughter is here. I should at least say hello to her before I return to the Palace!"

Ji Youze looked back at him without expression. "Your Majesty probably wants to see Third Miss Xie!"

The young Emperor looked surprised. "Why would you say that?"

Ji Youze pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the one with the Phoenix Destiny is the eldest Miss Xie of the Xie Family! This Third Miss Xie’s birth chart destines her for a short life!"

The young Emperor’s mouth twitched.

My daughter said that Third Miss Xie is the one who truly bears the signs of the Phoenix Destiny! But then he remembered that the strange matter of the birth chart and physiognomy hadn’t been clarified yet, so he suppressed his words.

"Youze!" the young Emperor called out.

Ji Youze bowed his head. "Your servant is here!"

The young Emperor opened his mouth as if to instruct him on something, but in the end, said nothing. Instead, he stared at him for a long time, then turned and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Ji Youze watched the young Emperor depart, frowning.

Why did he feel His Majesty’s final glance before leaving looked like one of sympathy?

Xiaosuisui’s shouting for her "Eighth Uncle" actually managed to summon him. Ji Youze wasn’t as flamboyant as Xiaosuisui, who would casually fly down from other people’s rooftops. Instead, he entered through the gate of the Xie Family’s Courtyard.

"Eighth Uncle! You’re finally here! Quick, tell me, can Second Uncle now remove the curse for Pretty Sister’s brother and father?"

Ji Youze nodded, reaching out to take Xiaosuisui from Xie Pan’Er’s arms. "The curse can be lifted now."

Xiaosuisui cheered. "That’s great! Second Uncle, I want to watch!"

Then, kicking her short little legs, she slid down from Ji Youze’s arms and went to find her Second Uncle.

Hearing that the curse on her brother and father could be lifted, Xie Pan’Er was also ecstatic.

As long as the curse is lifted, our family will truly be free!

"Thank you, Eighth Young Master. The Ji Family has shown us immense grace. In the future, Pan’Er will surely do everything in her power to repay the Ji Family!"

Upon hearing her words, Ji Youze’s expressionless face remained unchanged.

What repayment could he expect from a girl with so little time left to live? Still, she was the ’Pretty Sister’ that Xiaosuisui was fond of, though he had no idea what Xiaosuisui saw in her.

"My mother should be about done talking with Old Lady Xie. Get the list of assets for your family’s Fifth Branch, and come with me. I’ll help you resolve your family’s matters. After that, you can focus on accompanying the Eldest Princess."

"Really... Really? Am... Am I dreaming? Can our family’s problems really be resolved?"

Xie Pan’Er was overwhelmed with excitement.

Am I dreaming?
