CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172: BORROWING LUCK

After Lu Yunsheng finished speaking, he ordered the servants accompanying them from a short distance away to catch the rabbit.

Xie Pan’Er felt embarrassed and indignant. She glared at Lu Yunsheng before turning to leave.

Suddenly, a stout arm stretched out, blocking her way.

"Third Miss, surely you haven’t forgotten the Old Madam’s instructions? You are to accompany the Eldest Miss everywhere she goes. She’s not done enjoying herself yet! Are you already thinking of leaving?"

Xie Pan’Er’s face turned pale, and her body swayed as if she were about to collapse.

Nanny Hua swiftly grabbed her arm, forcing her to stay standing.

"Don’t you dare faint! Stand properly! I didn’t bring any extra maids out today. If you faint, there’ll be no one to carry you back. Perhaps Young Master Lu will end up carrying you back then. Third Miss, you wouldn’t want that, would you?"

Hearing this, Xie Pan’Er panicked. She quickly pinched herself with her fingernails to force herself to stay composed.

"Thank you for the reminder, Nanny Hua!"

"Third Miss, if you are more sensible, Fifth Master and Fifth Mistress can also be more at ease in the Xie Family, don’t you think?"

Xie Pan’Er forced a smile. "Nanny Hua is right."

The Little Emperor, who was not far away, overheard the conversation between Nanny Hua and Xie Pan’Er and roughly understood what was going on.

This Xie Family... is quite interesting...

"Darling, look at the pretty older sister!"

The Little Emperor pointed at Xie Pan’Er and called out to Xiaosuisui, who was staring unblinkingly at the pot of Wonton Soup being cooked.

"Where?"

Instantly, the little girl looked up, her face full of excitement.

The Little Emperor thought, Could it be that his daughter was born the wrong gender?

"Over there. Look at those two older sisters. Which one has a large bird following her?"

The little girl gave her godfather, His Majesty, a look as if he were an idiot.

"Didn’t I tell you last time? It’s that older sister! The one wearing the pale cyan dress!"

It really is Xie Pan’Er. But why did the Xie Family say it was Xie Yingying?

"What about the other one? Does she have a large bird following her? Is there any aura of wealth and honor around her?"

Xiaosuisui followed the direction the Little Emperor pointed and immediately saw Xie Yingying, the older sister who had argued with her.

"Isn’t that the older sister who argued with me? There are no large birds following her, but..."

"But what?"

The Little Emperor quickly pressed.

Xiaosuisui held her breath and focused, activating her Celestial Eyes to look at Xie Yingying’s physiognomy again, then said, "That older sister not only lacks an aura of good fortune and large birds, but she also seems to have a short-lived fate and should experience many dissatisfactions in life. I just don’t know why, but there’s a current of fortune around her that doesn’t belong to her. That’s why her life has been so smooth these past few years, getting whatever she wants, as if she could summon wind and rain at will!"

The Little Emperor understood most of what she said. There was a small part he didn’t fully grasp because it wasn’t his area of expertise.

If Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er had heard these words, they would have immediately understood: this was someone borrowing luck...

"The Wonton Soup is ready! Young Master, Young Miss, come and eat!"

Xiaosuisui scrambled onto the table with her short legs. Holding her bowl, she scooped up a small wonton and started to blow on it, not noticing that her godfather, His Majesty, had given a look to a passerby. She also didn’t notice that her Xiaobai was currently being attacked with bamboo poles and wooden sticks.

"You must catch this blasted rabbit today, no matter what! If you can catch it alive, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. If you really can’t catch it alive, but can kill it and bring it to me, I will reward you all the same!"
