Xiaosuisui let out a strained grunt, while Ah Ling inside the bell was at her wits’ end.
"Master, you are too daring. With your power, you can only use this Heart-seizing Technique for about four to five breaths. You need to stop now."
Ah Ling’s voice interrupted Xiaosuisui’s action. Quite disappointed, she said to Ah Ling, "I was so close, so close to seeing what she does in the middle of the night."
Ah Ling was left bemused and helpless.
"I must admit, you’re really sothing. You couldn’t use the Heart-seizing Technique, yet you managed to make her cry and used her tears as a dium. Even though this is a thod, you’ve been too violent. Little girls should be more ladylike; they shouldn’t be so violent."
Xiaosuisui was still pondering, what was this Madam Liu frequently doing, flitting in and out during the night? She didn’t pay any attention to Ah Ling’s comnts about violence. What is ’ladylike’ behavior, anyway?
"It’s strange. Why are you always skulking around in the middle of the night, sneaking in and out? What are you up to?"
Xiaosuisui stared into Madam Liu’s eyes. Madam Liu, too preoccupied with the pain in her ribs inflicted by Xiaosuisui to even think straight, instinctively retorted.
"How do you know I often go out at night?"
Xiaosuisui blinked. "I saw you!"
"How is that possible? I am always very careful when I go out. You couldn’t have seen !"
Madam Liu’s astonishnt and responses aroused suspicions about her among the bystanders.
"You’re very careful when you go out. What do you do when you go out?"
Huo Xing’Er knew that the little girl had been learning all sorts of miscellaneous things these days from her uncles, and from her and Zhu Xiuxiu.Now she seed to have used soone’s tricks to peek into Madam Liu’s mory. Fearing that Xiaosuisui exposing too many of her own thods might lead to trouble, Huo Xing’Er hurried to change the subject.
"I..."
Madam Liu turned pale and turned to look at the Lin Family.
The Lin Family also felt uneasy. Sensing Madam Liu’s gaze, the Lin Family grew furious enough to want to kill soone.That idiot! Why is she looking at the Lin Family now? Isn’t that a dead giveaway?
"You what? Why are you looking at your First Mistress? Is your going out related to her?"
The Lin Family exclaid, "No, no! I have nothing to do with her. I have no idea what she does when she goes out. How could it have anything to do with ?" Hearing Huo Xing’Er’s words, the Lin Family was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly, imdiately wanting to make her non-involvent clear to Huo Xing’Er.
Just then, a young man’s voice ca from outside the Flower Hall.
"Of course, she was going out to buy wine."
The voice made Xiaosuisui very excited.
"Uncle Seven!"
With her footsteps clattering, Xiaosuisui dashed out and threw herself straight into Ji Youzhi’s arms.
Ji Youzhi embraced the little girl. "Weren’t you supposed to be taking a nap? How did you end up here?"
In response, Xiaosuisui chuckled and pointed towards Ji Youran in the Flower Hall. "I ca to see Uncle Two remove the Gu Insect."
Xiaosuisui’s words imdiately made the Lin Family’s expression change, and she blurted out.
"What do you an? Can soone get rid of the Gu Insect inside them?"
Xiaosuisui blinked and suddenly realized she had let the cat out of the bag. She couldn’t help but slap her little head.
"Oh dear! I’ve let it slip. Uncle Eight said that the matter of drawing out the Gu Insect should be kept secret!"
Ji Youzhi’s mouth twitched, and he patted the little girl’s head.
"No harm done. Uncle Seven has already captured the man who supplied the wine. Now, we just need to interrogate clearly to find out with whom the Lin Family is colluding, which constitutes treason."
