"Why is there still a note on your tail?"
Lady Ji reached out and took the note from Xiaobai’s short tail. As soon as she saw the writing on it, she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth corners in amusent!
"I went to the Celestial Prison (circle)!"
The word ’prison’ was too hard for her to write, so she substituted it with a circle.
The word ’I’ was even missing a couple of strokes.
"This child! These chicken-scratchings, it’s surprising she dares leave a note! But, what exactly does this circle an?"
Lady Ji had grown used to Xiaosuisui’s whimsical departures. After the matters with the Xie Family, Mr. Li’s pharmacy, and even the Imperial Palace, she was no longer concerned about the little girl’s safety.
On the contrary, she was now more worried about the safety of others.
"Guards!"
"Lady Ji!" a maid entered from outside.
"Go and call over the Third Madam."
Zhu Xiuxiu soon ca in.
"Mother! You were looking for !"
Lady Ji handed over the note that Xiaosuisui had left her.
"Take a look! Where did she go this ti?"
Zhu Xiuxiu saw the note and asked, "What does this circle represent?"
Of all the words she could omit, why did she have to leave out the most important one?
"She’s not a child anymore. It’s ti we found her a proper tutor."
Xiaosuisui was taught how to read by Ji Youyuan, and Ji Youran even said she never forgot anything she read. But her handwriting...
"Mother! Shouldn’t you be more worried about where Xiaosuisui has gone?"
Zhu Xiuxiu gave Lady Ji a puzzled look.
"What do I have to worry about? It’s not the first ti she’s done this."
Zhu Xiuxiu agreed with Lady Ji’s words.
"You’re absolutely right! When Xiaosuisui goes out, we should be more worried about others, not her!"
Zhu Xiuxiu kept flipping the note over, "What does this circle an though?"
Lady Ji thought about it and suggested, "Could she have gone to find Pan’Er?"
Zhu Xiuxiu slapped her forehead. "You might be right. Xiaosuisui treats Pan’Er like a real sister. If she doesn’t see Pan’Er for half a day, she would go looking for her."
"If she went looking for Pan’Er, then the circle probably represents ’prison’!"
Zhu Xiuxiu started her own analysis.
Lady Ji found it reasonable. "Going to the Celestial Prison... this child is not so stupid after all!"
Lady Ji didn’t hesitate to express her admiration for her smart girl.
"I’ll go and check the Celestial Prison."
Lady Ji nodded. "Go ahead! I called you because you’re quick!"
「At the entrance to the Celestial Prison.」
Xiaosuisui looked up at the words ’Celestial Prison’. "So ’prison’ is written like this!"
She nodded and firmly imprinted the character ’prison’ in her mind.
Yes, she would know how to write it next ti.
Two jail guards walked up to her and pointed at her.
"Where did this kid co from? Why is she here without an adult? What are you doing here at the Celestial Prison?"
Hearing the guards’ words, nothing else ca to mind except her Seventh Uncle.
Seventh Uncle was a Divine Hunter who often sent people to the Celestial Prison.
Thinking of this, she pouted, put her hands on her small waist and puffed out her chest.
"Who says I don’t have an adult! My Seventh Uncle is a Divine Hunter and he often locks people up in the Celestial Prison."
Hearing this, the two jail guards burst into laughter.
One of them, a man in his thirties with rosacea on his nose, mocked her.
"Divine Hunter? Do you even know who the Divine Hunter is? He’s the childhood friend of His Majesty and very good at resolving cases. Who’s your uncle, huh? Can he even compare to him?"
