Naturally, the National Master was not aware of Li Yanyanâs thoughts. After all, unlike Xiaosuisui, he hadnât cultivated telepathy.
But Xiaosuisui wasnât here either, so no one knew Li Yanyanâs thoughts.
The National Master took her back and confined her to her room to copy scriptures.
He deeply feared she would go and provoke the Princess again.
After all, the National Master had come to realize that the Princess was the one truly blessed with great fortune.
Moreover, if she were to casually utter something, her words could bring either great prosperity or great calamity to others.
Although it had been confirmed that Li Yanyan was not the one truly possessing great fortune, she was, after all, his disciple. Even though she wasnât Li Suisui, she was still considered someone blessed with significant luck.
As long as she could lead a stable life this lifetime and stay far away from Li Suisui, her path would still be quite smooth.
Li Yanyan did not know the National Masterâs thoughts.
Similarly, Xiaosuisui knew even less. At this moment, she had arrived at the Flower Hall. Just as she walked in, she heard the Third Madame of the Yun Family saying loudly,
"Father-in-law, we absolutely cannot keep that Li Suisui! Iâve already heard that sheâs a jinx, a reincarnated bearer of misfortune.
Wherever she goes, she brings calamity. I heard that because of her, her family members have either died or been injured.
Itâs no different from their family being shattered and ruined."
Hearing the Third Madame Yunâs words, Xie PanâErâs expression changed. She quickly turned to look at Xiaosuisui. "Suisui!" she said, looking at her worriedly. "Donât listen to her nonsense."
Xiaosuisuiâs face was taut, her small hands tightly clenched.
Seeing her like this, Xie PanâEr was filled with worry and heartache.
From inside the room, Yun Yiâs resonant, Qi-filled voice emerged.
"Can you be quiet for a moment? Friend Youzhi has already said these are all rumors. Besides, what youâre saying comes from the one-sided account of a little girl. How can you believe such hearsay?"
"Oh, Father-in-law, you canât ignore this! Donât they say children speak without inhibition? A child wouldnât lie! That Li Yanyan looks about the same age as Li Suisui; her words are definitely credible. Think about it! A child of four or five, would she have any reason to lie? She wouldnât even know how to lie, would she? Donât you agree?"
The Third Madame Yun argued vehemently, determined to solidify the rumor that Xiaosuisui was a jinx.
"Alright, alright, stop your clamoring. The person in question has arrived. You have to at least let me hear what Xiaosuisui herself has to say, donât you? I canât just listen to your side of the story!"
Yun Yiâs words startled both Xie PanâEr and Xiaosuisui. They had indeed arrived, but they hadnât made any sound!
How did the Island Master inside know they were here?
While the two were still puzzled, Yun Yiâs resonant, Qi-filled voice reached their ears again.
"Little girl, if youâre not coming in, why are you still out there? How long do you plan to drink the northwest wind outside?"
"Hehe! The northwest wind outside wonât fill my tummy! Suisui wonât drink the northwest wind!"
PATTER PATTER PATTER! Xiaosuisui ran in on her short little legs and immediately clung to Yun Yiâs thigh.
"Great-grandfather! Sheâs talking nonsense! This woman is very bad, you mustnât listen to her!"
Yun Yi scooped Xiaosuisui up and held her in his arms, asking,
"How is she talking nonsense? You tell Great-grandfather so I can hear!"
Xiaosuisui blinked. "She just said that a child of four or five, like Li Yanyan, wouldnât lie. But Li Yanyan *is* lying! Iâm not a jinx, and Iâm certainly not a reincarnated bearer of misfortune. Great-grandfather! Have you ever seen a jinx as cute as me?"
As she spoke, Xiaosuisui blinked her big eyes at Old Island Master Yun.
Her large eyes, already very bright and as dark as black grapes, looked especially adorable and endearing when she blinked.
"No, I havenât. Great-grandfather only sees you, such an adorable little Lucky Star! You know, when Great-grandfather sees you, itâs like seeing my unfilial daughter when she was little. She was just as cute, pretty, and incredibly endearing as you are!"
As Yun Yi spoke, he couldnât resist gently tweaking her small nose.
Seeing this, the Third Madame Yunâs expression flickered, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled beyond recognition by her tight grip.
"Father-in-law! You mustnât be muddled by old age! This little girl, sheâs really not a good person! We should drive her away. Otherwise, what if she brings disaster to our Yunzhou Island?"
"Third Madame Yun, you keep saying that Suisui will bring disaster to Yunzhou Island. May I ask, do you have any evidence?"
