Hearing about Li Yanyan getting beaten, Xiaosuisui quickly sat cross-legged opposite Princess Ata, her eyes wide and her face full of eager curiosity.
"Let tell you, that Li Yanyan truly is fearless. Ever since we boarded the ship, she’s been causing trouble all day long. Every day, she’s been muttering prayers, hoping Heaven will ensure you die in the Array of Heaven. Ai! Tell , does that girl harbor so deep-seated hatred for you? How can such a young child have such a vicious heart? She doesn’t possess an ounce of your kindness and charm!"
As Princess Ata said this, she reached out to touch the beautiful pearl flower Xiaosuisui wore in her hair.
Xiaosuisui quickly pulled Princess Ata’s hand away from her head. She began to fiddle with Princess Ata’s fingers, one by one, and then explained.
"Li Yanyan and I were born in the sa year and month. Ever since we were little, she’s liked to snatch my things. Because Grandma and the others didn’t like , they always sided with her and loved to give her my things. So, she’s always considered herself the Lucky Star, everyone’s treasure, believing that whatever others have rightfully belongs to her. She believes she’s naturally entitled to have everything, especially after the National Master took her as his disciple and publicly declared her a Lucky Star. She has beco even more arrogant and demanding."
After hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Princess Ata understood.
"Sigh! This is a matter of upbringing. Fortunately, you were raised in the Ji Family from a young age. Otherwise, if you had developed a temperant like hers, I’m afraid the world would be in chaos."
Princess Ata, who had practiced Witchcraft since childhood, could naturally see that Xiaosuisui possessed the remarkable ability to communicate with heaven and earth!
"Sister A Ta, you’re mistaken. Actually, I wasn’t raised in the Ji Family from a young age. About half a year ago, Li Yanyan tried to snatch the necklace my maternal grandmother gave . When I refused, Grandma beat half to death. All my internal organs were shattered. Then, my maternal grandmother arrived just in ti to save . Furthermore, when my eldest maternal uncle received the news, he and my fourth maternal uncle rushed back as fast as their horses could carry them. They brought back a Rejuvenation Pill, one capable of reviving the dead, for to take. That’s how I was brought back to life."
Princess Ata listened, her heart pounding with alarm. She couldn’t help but gently stroke Xiaosuisui’s small head and said softly, "I never imagined that at such a tender age, you would have endured so many hardships. You and Li Yanyan grew up under the sa roof from birth. It’s truly remarkable that you didn’t end up warped like her. No wonder you’re the one who truly possesses great fortune."
Princess Ata sighed softly, then gently called her na.
"Suisui! In life, things seldom go as planned, perhaps eight or nine tis out of ten. We can’t control whether events are good or bad, but we can control our attitude towards them! You suffered so much in the Li Family before. Now that you have the ans, have you ever thought about reclaiming those debts?"
A faint ache pricked at Princess Ata’s heart. Part of this pain was for the young child before her. The other part was for herself. There was a ti when she, like Xiaosuisui, had almost died at the hands of her own closest kin.
"I don’t know."
Xiaosuisui pouted, her spirits low. She buried her face, looking like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand.
"Actually, I’ve never thought of taking revenge on them. Otherwise, with so many uncles in my family, if they truly wanted them dead, the Li Family would have been annihilated, not even their bones left."
Xiaosuisui was telling the truth, and Princess Ata didn’t doubt her words. Regarding those uncles of hers—not to ntion others—Princess Ata herself had experienced Ji Youyuan’s ruthlessness seven years ago.
But that being said, the girl had suffered so terribly and nearly lost her life. Why hadn’t anyone from the Ji Family dealt with the Li Family? This seed of doubt took root in Princess Ata’s heart. She wanted to ask, yet she instinctively felt it was best not to inquire about anything. Otherwise... As a top-tier Witchcraft practitioner, her instinct for self-preservation—to seek advantages and avoid harm—warned her not to ask.
"Oh, Sister A Ta, you still haven’t told , why did the National Master beat Li Yanyan?"
Seeing Princess Ata remain silent for a long mont, Xiaosuisui grew anxious and hastily tugged at the princess’s sleeve, asking.
Princess Ata was pulled back to her senses by the tug. She finally pushed all her doubts to the back of her mind and told Xiaosuisui with a smile, "Today, you wouldn’t believe how audacious that Li Yanyan was! After Uncle Dafeng brought your seventh uncle back, we settled on a mountain peak outside Yunhang City."
