Chapter 642: Chapter 642: The Inner Voice of Li Yanyan

Xie Pan’Er bent down, squatting in front of Xiaosuisui, softly coaxing her.

"Mm! I understand, pretty sister. By the way, pretty sister, why did you eat that fish ball first just now? I clearly saw that at first, you were going to pick up that fish ball for me."

At this moment, Xiaosuisui grew curious and quickly questioned Xie Pan’Er.

Xie Pan’Er was a smart woman. She knew that after learning the Heart Communication technique, Xiaosuisui could uncontrollably hear others’ thoughts. Therefore, Xie Pan’Er consciously tried to avoid thinking about private matters. As long as her actions didn’t betray her thoughts, Xiaosuisui wouldn’t know what she was thinking.

"My silly Princess, when we’re out and about, we always need to be on guard. Have you forgotten the actions of those sailors on the ship, and the conduct of Fatty Aunt and the others during this journey? If you hadn’t poisoned them, would they be listening to us so obediently now?"

Xiaosuisui blinked, her large eyes darting around, and laughed heartily. "Ah! I get it! Pretty sister, what you said makes so much sense."

Xiaosuisui giggled, then pointed to the fish balls on the table and asked with a smile, "So now, can I eat this fish ball?"

"Mm! There’s no problem with this fish ball, go ahead and eat it!"

Xiaosuisui picked up a fish ball, popped it into her mouth, and then discussed with Xie Pan’Er, "Pretty sister, in the future, could you please not call me ’Princess’ or ’Young Lady’?"

Xie Pan’Er winked at her and giggled. "Are you worried I’m bothered by what Third Lady Yun said?"

"Pretty sister, you’re not my servant at all! You’re my pretty older sister. Maternal Grandmother, Second Maternal Aunt, and Third Maternal Aunt had you stay with the Ji Family because they wanted you to be my teacher, to guide me. Not to be my servant. In the future, when we are outside, could you just call me by my name, please?"

Xiaosuisui looked utterly sincere. Xie Pan’Er knew she meant it and instantly felt a warmth spread through her heart.

"Alright! Then I’ll call you by your name, Suisui, from now on. In that case, you shouldn’t call me ’pretty sister’ anymore either. I’m not actually that pretty. How about you just call me Sister Pan’Er?"

The girl had been calling her ’pretty sister’ for the better part of half a year, and Xie Pan’Er actually quite enjoyed it. However, she also knew that sometimes a title could attract unwanted attention. After all, she wasn’t the most beautiful woman in the world!

"Alright! Sister Pan’Er!" Xiaosuisui immediately changed how she addressed her.

Xie Pan’Er patted her small head and chuckled lightly just as footsteps sounded from outside.

"Li Suisui, you jinx, you harbinger of bad luck! You’ll be the death of us all!" Accompanying the footsteps was the arrogant and unrestrained voice of Li Yanyan.

"Li Yanyan! Watch your mouth! You’re the jinx, you’re the harbinger of bad luck!" Xiaosuisui had just eaten two fish balls when Li Yanyan ran in, cursing and blaming her.

Xie Pan’Er was so furious, a knot of anger tightened in her chest! "Miss Li! Please watch your words. If you continue to speak so recklessly and without regard for seniority, I will report you to the National Master."

Startled by Xie Pan’Er’s sharp rebuke, and also seeing Xiaosuisui with her hands on her hips, looking adorably fierce as if ready to devour her, Li Yanyan’s imposing manner instantly deflated.

"I... I won’t curse her anymore, alright? Li Suisui, you’ve caused huge trouble! I just overheard Third Lady Yun complaining to the Old Island Master. She said you were disrespectful and insulted her, and also called you an ill-omened person, so she wants to drive us out!"

"What? Miss Li, did you hear this yourself? What did the Old Island Master say? Are we really going to be kicked out?" Xie Pan’Er grew anxious and quickly questioned Li Yanyan.

"Of course, I heard it with my own ears. Let me tell you, Third Lady Yun is furious. She’s already gone to complain to the Old Island Master." Li Yanyan crossed her arms, looking at Xiaosuisui with a smug smile. Hmph! Let’s see if I can’t destroy you this time, you jinx, you reincarnation of bad luck. Mother was right, as long as you’re around, I’ll always be second best!

Xiaosuisui’s large eyes snapped open, staring fixedly at Li Yanyan. "Did you say bad things about me to Third Lady Yun?"

Li Yanyan’s expression suddenly changed. She asked in shock, "How did you know?"

"Your heart told me. You want to destroy me, and you were mentally cursing me as a jinx, a reincarnation of bad luck. Li Yanyan, you’ve gone too far! If you dare to curse me like that in your heart again, believe it or not, I’ll knock all your teeth out!" Xiaosuisui clenched her fists in anger, waving them at Li Yanyan in warning.

Li Yanyan had been beaten by Xiaosuisui before. The sight of her fists made Li Yanyan instinctively retreat until she reached the doorway. Just as someone caught her, she turned to see National Master Feng Wushang, his hair entirely white!

"Master! You’ve come at the perfect time! Li Suisui was about to hit me!" Seeing the National Master, Li Yanyan’s fear vanished instantly. She hurriedly tattled to him.

The National Master glanced at her. He had been outside the door earlier and heard everything. He sighed inwardly with resignation and said, "In the Flower Hall, Third Lady Yun stated that the Princess is disrespectful and a bearer of misfortune, and cannot be allowed to stay on Yunzhou Island. The Old Island Master and I wish to ascertain the truth of the matter. Princess, please come to the Flower Hall to confront Third Lady Yun and clarify the situation!"

Hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked and looked at Xie Pan’Er.

Xie Pan’Er saw her large, blinking, glossy eyes and quickly explained, "Third Lady Yun has lodged a complaint against you with the Old Island Master. If we don’t want to be expelled from Yunzhou Island, we need to go and explain what happened earlier."

Xiaosuisui understood, nodded, and then took the lead, striding towards the Flower Hall. Xie Pan’Er hurriedly followed her.

Behind them, Li Yanyan said smugly to the National Master, "Master! Li Suisui has caused such a huge mess. His Majesty will surely dislike her now, won’t he? Does that mean she won’t be a princess anymore?"

The National Master sighed inwardly again and said to her helplessly, "The Princess has learned the Heart Communication technique; she knows what you are thinking. As her master, I’ve long warned you not to provoke the Princess lightly, yet you stubbornly refuse to listen. Besides, even if the Princess falls out of favor with His Majesty, what good would that do you?"

Li Yanyan pouted, saying nothing but looking aggrieved. Internally, she was even more resentful. As long as she’s not a princess anymore, I’ll definitely become one eventually. I am the Lucky Star of Great Han, destined for great fortune. Mother said that as long as Li Suisui is gone, all her great fortune will be transferred to me!
