A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Xiaosuisui made a face at him.

"You’re just being stubborn! It’s clearly your fault, yet you’re so concerned about saving face!"

"Alright, enough of your nonsense. Don’t mess this up, now. When you return to the capital, take this into the palace and give it to your foster father, the Emperor. I’ve had quite a time finding this, and I’ve sent out quite a few people over the past few days."

Xiaosuisui laughed and agreed, then urged him to apologize to Auntie Eight.

Ji Youze couldn’t back down, "You shouldn’t meddle in the affairs of elders!"

"Oh! Then I won’t meddle, but keep in mind, we’re setting out for the capital tomorrow. If you don’t apologize to Uncle Eight tonight, you won’t get another chance!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhenzhu was completely stunned.

"Are you saying he misunderstood that I gave the imperial seal to some man outside?"

Enchanting nodded, "That’s what I heard. Tell me, Miss, who did you give the imperial seal to?

Why don’t we go ask for it back and give it to the master?"

After saying this, she suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, you didn’t give the imperial seal to the third prince, did you?

Oh, it’s not that I’m saying this, our third prince is naturally not meant to be an emperor. Even if you gave him the imperial seal, he might not restore the nation.

It’s better to take it back and hand it to the master to handle. You must know that the current Emperor of Da Han is a wise ruler, and the country’s strength is formidable, with a strong and robust military. The future of Da Han has talents like the master to be pillars of the state, and the third prince stands no chance of restoring the nation."

Xiao Zhenzhu heard this but didn’t say anything, her expression looked much better, with a hint of bashfulness and a slight joy.

"Miss, did you hear what I said?"

"I heard you. Just say less, and also, don’t try to involve Suisui in your schemes, that child is young, and if she accidentally spills the beans to the master, saying you instigated her, what will you do then?"

Enchanting: "..." Haha, that girl is not one to just accidentally spill the beans. She clearly did it on purpose.

Under the moonlight, Ji Youze finally couldn’t resist and came to Zhenzhu’s door, pacing back and forth several times, unable to gather the courage to knock.

Zhenzhu stood at the door, watching his helpless and indecisive demeanor through the gap in the door.

Eventually, when he seemed to give up and was about to leave, she opened the door.

"Are you really going to leave without saying anything to me?"

Xiao Zhenzhu suddenly opened the door, standing at the entrance to ask him.

Ji Youze froze immediately, not daring to turn around to look at her.

"You can leave, but at least tell me why, right?

Though ours started as a transaction, I... I always felt, always felt you liked me a little!"

Xiao Zhenzhu’s words successfully made Ji Youze turn around.

"I... I do like you, but... I always feel that coercing you with underhanded tactics is not gentlemanly. But I just can’t control myself, I just don’t want you to look at any other man, I just need you to have me in your heart and eyes alone!"

Ji Youze spoke instinctively, without thinking, and after saying it he somewhat regretted it, feeling like a big man being so fussy wasn’t quite right.

Xiao Zhenzhu softly laughed, stepping quickly out of the house, running to Ji Youze, she looked into his eyes, staring quietly into them, her smile blossoming, "There’s no one else in my heart, I gave the imperial seal to Suisui. I originally wanted to give it to you, but back then we weren’t very close, so I thought of using her hand to pass it to you. Who knew she was such a foodie, just focused on eating, without even opening it to take a look, and then she put it away, so..."

Zhenzhu’s eyes widened, suddenly being kissed by Ji Youze.

"I know!"

He said softly, his voice so small that it was almost swallowed by Xiao Zhenzhu, barely audible!

The next day, when everyone was setting off, Ji Youlin wouldn’t let go of Hu Shu’Er’s hand.

"Be careful on the road, stay in Suisui’s carriage, and don’t stray from her, make sure you don’t get separated from the group.

If you do get separated from them, just find a Bright Moon Pavilion shop and show them the jade pendant I gave you to the shopkeeper there, he’ll help you inform the three of us, and someone will be sent to reunite you with them!"

Hu Shu’Er quietly listened, her face full of a blissful smile.

Xiaosuisui watched from the side, then shook her head and got on the carriage first, muttering, "What exactly is love? It seems it can even turn the stubborn Uncle Six into an even bigger fool!"

Ji Youze also gave his blessing to Xiao Zhenzhu.

"After you get to the capital, write to me; on second thought, you don’t need to write, someone else will do it for me. Please help take care of my mother, her health isn’t the best, so on the journey keep close to Suisui, don’t stray too far from her, understood?"

Xiao Zhenzhu replied, "Rest assured, I will make sure to look after Suisui, I will protect her, ensure she doesn’t get hurt, and will safely bring her back to the Ji Family!"

Ji Youze: "..." Forget it, there’s no way to explain how a five-year-old little one could have strength comparable to a Grand Master...
