A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 466: Suisui’s Predetermined Tribulation
Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Suisui’s Predetermined Tribulation
This was because Zhao Chunxiang had seen what Li Yu had written in his letter. In it, he explained that he had learned the National Master, during a divination, explicitly stated there was only one Lucky Star. Between Li Yanyan and Xiaosuisui, one was certain to carry the Celestial Destiny. Li Yu had therefore advised his second brother to find someone to read their birth charts. Crucially, he urged his brother to ensure that, before the Li Family came to collect the Lucky Star, their mother was dissuaded from beating or scolding the two children.
Li’s Fourth Son was aware of the rumors in recent years that Li Suisui was the reincarnation of an unlucky spirit, and that his mother had treated Suisui harshly over the years.
He feared this Lucky Star designation might fall upon Suisui, and if this child grew up holding a grudge...
That was why Li’s Fourth Son had hinted at these concerns in his letter to Li’s Second Son.
What he hadn’t anticipated, however, was that his second brother never saw the letter. Instead, it fell into Zhao Chunxiang’s hands. Consequently, she secretly set everything in motion. After receiving guidance from a mysterious figure, she planned to bury Li Suisui alive to transfer luck to her Yanyan, leading to the subsequent series of events.
However, Zhao Chunxiang and Old Mistress Li’s actions, as it turned out, had unintentionally played a part, for this tribulation was already fated in Li Suisui’s destiny. It was precisely because of this tribulation that the Soul-Calling Bell was activated by her blood.
Her constitution was altered. Furthermore, the celestial shield she had established for herself before her reincarnation had failed. Only at the moment she was revived did she connect with the Celestial Dao and receive the blessing of destiny’s Qi, thus becoming the Xiaosuisui of today!
「To return to the main subject, let us speak of what occurred after Li’s Fourth Son and his family were received into the Li Mansion.」
Old Mistress Li was rather muddle-headed. Convinced her granddaughter was the Lucky Star, she behaved like a tyrant. Not only did she constantly berate and strike the maids Lady Li assigned to serve in their courtyard, but she also incessantly demanded delicacies like Bird’s Nest and shark fin!
That was bad enough, but the main issue was Li’s Third Son. It was said that back in the countryside, he was merely a pig butcher, and his wife was lame. Furthermore, before his arrival in the Capital City, he had been dealt a vicious kick to the chest by a large pig, which caused him to develop some peculiar habits. At night, he insisted on sleeping under the bed, and by day, he took pleasure in harassing the young ladies and married women of the Li Mansion.
When Lady Li learned of this, she was so enraged that she often fumed to her Nanny, "Why didn’t that overgrown pig kick him to death and send him straight to the King of Hell?"
As Lady Li sat in the carriage, her thoughts grew increasingly vexing. Images of Li Yanyan’s biological parents—one blind, the other lame—flashed through her mind. Two disabled individuals, each more troublesome than the last!
"Mother!" Seeing Lady Li continuously rubbing her temples, Li Zhujun called out with a note of concern.
"Hmm!" Lady Li responded without opening her eyes.
She felt utterly exasperated.
"Are you unwell, Mother?" Li Zhujun asked cautiously. "Is it because of those country bumpkins?"
"Sigh..." Lady Li heaved a long sigh. "That Lucky Star is still so young. I thought that by teaching her personally, I could ensure she wouldn’t turn out like those other country bumpkins from her branch of the family. But no matter how much effort I expend during the day, once that old crone takes her back for the night, the girl’s gaze towards me is different when she’s returned the next morning."
Lady Li was referring to the time when Li Yanyan had first arrived at the Li Mansion.
Back then, when her family had just arrived, those country folk still appeared well-behaved, daring neither to speak excessively nor to overstep their bounds. What was the Li Family’s purpose in bringing Li Yanyan to the Capital City? Wasn’t it to use her to gain access to the National Master’s Mansion and secure the Li Family’s position in the Imperial Court?
Thus, Li Yanyan, being an outsider, required indoctrination. At the very least, she needed to be made to believe she was a child of the Li Family, destined to serve its interests in the future. So, they subtly endeavored to instill these notions in her.
Yet, somehow, after Li Yanyan and her daughter performed ’The Phoenix Approaching’ at the Double Ninth Festival banquet, attracting a True Phoenix, that old crone began to stir up trouble.
