CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 168: DID SHE OFFEND A BIG SHOT?

The moment she said that, a murderous gleam appeared in the eyes of the hidden guards beside Xiaosuisui.

The duty of a hidden guard is to operate from the shadows. Unless their Master is in danger, they should not appear before others.

However, today was different, as they were on a mission to escort the Princess.

No member of the Ji Family was with them. They could not let the Princess travel alone, so they followed at a discreet distance.

When this woman started insulting the Princess, they could still grip the hilts of their swords, awaiting orders.

But the Princess hadn’t given any orders the first two times, and this was the third. Good heavens, they couldn’t stand it anymore! Who did this woman think the Princess was, to be insulted so freely?

Feeling the anger emanating from the people around the little girl, Xie Pan’Er had a bad feeling. This little girl is clearly not of ordinary status.

Behaving like this, Xie Yingying is practically courting death, Xie Pan’Er thought. I’m afraid I’ll be implicated today because of her.

Just as Xie Pan’Er was thinking this, she started walking towards the little girl and Xie Yingying. Before she could reach them, she heard Xie Yingying shriek.

"You ugly freak, why are you just standing there? Are your legs really broken or something?"

Xie Pan’Er screamed inwardly in alarm, Eldest Sister, don’t be rude!

But it was too late. She only heard the little girl ask in a sweet, childlike voice,

"Big Sister, is there something wrong with your eyes?

Can’t you see I’m standing here perfectly fine?

Why would you say my legs are broken?"

This person is so strange, Xiaosuisui thought. I’m not sitting in a wheelchair like Eldest Maternal Uncle. How could she say my legs are broken?

"You... You’re cursing me! Fine, you ugly freak hiding behind a cotton veil! Today, this tiger will show its might; you’ve mistaken me for a sick kitten!"

Xiaosuisui looked curiously at the "big sister" who was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws as she lunged. Beneath her veil, Xiaosuisui’s small face was already taut with tension.

"Suisui is not an ugly freak! You’re the ugly freak, Big Sister! Your intestines are so bad!"

Xiaosuisui had recently read many books and learned many new words, but she couldn’t always use them accurately.

She had a vague understanding of the phrase "vicious heart and evil bowels." She only remembered it ambiguously, grasping just the general idea. So, when she blurted it out, she meant something like, "This person is very bad, even their intestines are rotten."

"You... you little brat! I’ll skin you alive today!"

Xie Yingying instantly puffed up like a fighting cock, raising her hand to slap Xiaosuisui across the mouth.

However, the people beside Xiaosuisui were no pushovers. The hidden guards had already anticipated her move and drawn the scimitars concealed beneath their clothes.

"Audacious! Take one more step, and you will be killed without mercy!"

Xie Yingying was stunned. She stared angrily at the ordinarily dressed people before her, so much so that she didn’t even hear what the little girl under the veil had just retorted.

"Who are you calling a little brat?" Xiaosuisui asked.

"Are you talking about my Xiaobai in my arms?

Let me tell you, my Xiaobai is not a little brat. She is very fierce. Don’t make her angry, or she’ll bite you."

"You... who are you people? What business is it of yours if I teach a lesson to an insolent little girl who doesn’t know her place?"

Xie Yingying struggled in the grasp of the hidden guards, threatening, "You’d better not meddle in others’ affairs! Otherwise, our Xie Family will not let you off easily!"

"Audacious! Do you even know who our Master is?"

"How dare you act so presumptuously before her? Believe it or not, I could take your worthless life right now!"

Their... their Master?

Xie Yingying’s mind slowly caught up. This little girl has attendants with her? Then she must not be from an ordinary family! Did I... did I just offend someone important?
