Xiaosuisui held a rabbit in one hand and grabbed the collar of Xie Pan’Er’s clothes with the other.
"Pretty Sister, don’t be afraid! Suisui’s Feifei is great fun!"
WHOOSH... The little girl lifted Xie Pan’Er onto the roof of a large house. With another WHOOSH... she landed in an alley.
"Pretty Sister, is your home up ahead in this alley?"
Xie Pan’Er’s face turned pale. She pointed to a mansion ahead. "That’s my home, Suisui. I’ll go back myself..."
WHOOSH...
"...Suisui..."
Before Xie Pan’Er could finish speaking, Xiaosuisui grabbed her by the collar again. In no time, the little girl had brought Xie Pan’Er onto the wall of the Xie Family’s house.
Just as they landed and before they could jump in, they heard a furious voice.
"It takes this long just to buy some preserved fruit? Someone born of a wretch will always be a wretch! I wonder if she went off flirting with some scoundrel!
Luo Yuqing, look at the daughter you’ve birthed! A lowly maid should accept her fate. See? So what if you became the main wife of a prominent family?
Isn’t the daughter you bore still serving as my daughter’s maidservant?
I’m telling you, your daughter failed to protect my daughter outside. So here, you will take the blame for her! Beat her!"
As soon as these words reached Xiaosuisui’s ears, she was about to jump into the Courtyard with Xie Pan’Er but paused. Xie Pan’Er was firmly gripping her hand, signaling her not to go down yet.
"Little darling, can you take me to a higher rooftop?"
Taking someone to a higher rooftop was no trouble at all for Xiaosuisui. "Sure! No problem."
She grabbed the collar of Pretty Sister’s clothes, and within a few leaps, they were on the roof of the main building.
In the Courtyard of the First Lady of the Xie Family, two female servants were pressing a middle-aged woman onto a long bench, while a young girl wearing a bamboo hat was viciously whipping her.
"I’ll beat you to death, you lowly slave! I’ll kill you! My face is ruined, and you’re just standing there laughing at me, aren’t you?
I’m telling you, dream on, you lowly slave! I won’t let you or your wretched brat have your way!"
These words rang in Xie Pan’Er’s ears, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Xie Yingying is beating my mother! What is happening?"
Xiaosuisui was young and didn’t understand many things, but she surprisingly understood what Xie Pan’Er was saying now.
"That mean sister is beating Pretty Sister’s mother! Pretty Sister, quick, go down and hit her!"
After Xiaosuisui finished speaking, she directly lifted Xie Pan’Er by her collar and leaped down from the roof, landing right in front of Xie Yingying.
Xie Pan’Er snatched Xie Yingying’s whip, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Xie Yingying! How dare you strike my mother!"
Xie Pan’Er was incandescent with rage, glaring furiously at Xie Yingying. Xie Yingying, refusing to let go, still clung fiercely to the whip Xie Pan’Er had grabbed.
"Xie Pan’Er! You dare glare at me? Are you tired of living?"
Xie Yingying had been whipping Xie Pan’Er’s mother, who was nominally her aunt by marriage. She hadn’t expected Xie Pan’Er to suddenly drop from the sky and snatch her whip.
At first, she was startled, but she quickly composed herself. She’s just the offspring of a servant, anyway. I am the Eldest Young Miss of the Xie Family! So what if I hit her mother?
Besides, her own mother, the First Lady of the Xie Family, was standing right there on the veranda, backing her up!
"I’m tired of living?
I think you’re the one who’s tired of living!
The person you’re hitting is my mother—your aunt! As a junior, how dare you raise your hand against an elder?"
