A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 476: It’s all you picking on our Yanyan
Chapter 476: Chapter 476: It’s all you picking on our Yanyan
Huo Xing’Er’s words calmed the trembling Xiaosuisui. Her breathlessness eased in an instant.
"I’m her granddaughter, too," she said in a low voice after taking a deep breath. "Why does she always want me dead?"
Huo Xing’Er sighed softly and replied, "You two simply don’t share a grandmother-granddaughter bond. Besides, you have a maternal grandmother and a royal grandmother who adore you! Look how much they cherish you! Don’t envy what others have; value what you possess. What’s yours can’t be taken away, and what isn’t meant to be yours can’t be forced."
Xiaosuisui fell silent, surprised that her Second Aunt-in-law could also offer such profound advice.
"Alright! I won’t force it! I will cherish what I have!" Xiaosuisui declared.
Xiaosuisui instantly beamed, her earlier sadness swept away.
Relieved, Huo Xing’Er stroked her head. "Let’s go back. Your maternal grandmother and Third Aunt-in-law will be returning to their rooms soon." With that, she picked up Xiaosuisui and headed towards their courtyard.
As they were passing Old Madam Li and Yanyan, Old Madam Li suddenly sprang up and blocked their path.
"Stop right there! You hurt my Yanyan, and you think you can just walk away?" she raged.
Huo Xing’Er paused. Her face devoid of expression, she looked coldly at Old Madam Li. "She brought this upon herself. What does it have to do with us?" After replying impassively, she started to walk on.
Old Madam Li refused to back down. She jumped in front of Huo Xing’Er again, pointing at Xiaosuisui in her arms.
"Li Suisui, you little wretch, you jinx! It’s all your fault! You’ve brought misfortune upon my Yanyan!"
Upon hearing these words, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but tremble. She felt as if she had been thrown back to the times when Old Madam Li would verbally abuse and blame her.
"I’m not a jinx, and I don’t bring misfortune to anyone!" she argued, her voice trembling with fear and grievance, tears welling in her eyes. "You’re the bad one! Your own wicked heart is what will bring you misfortune!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er chuckled. "See? Even a child understands a principle that an old hag like you, despite living for so long, fails to grasp!"
Stung by Li Suisui’s retort, Old Madam Li’s anger flared. Before she could vent her fury on Xiaosuisui, Huo Xing’Er’s words enraged her further. Instead of reflecting on her own actions, her hatred for the woman and child before her deepened.
"Hmph! And who do you think you are? I’m disciplining my granddaughter; what business is it of yours? Put her down! I’m going to beat this jinx to death today!"
Hearing this, Huo Xing’Er merely laughed. "Who are you going to beat to death?"
"I’m going to beat *her* to death!" Old Madam Li shrieked, her eyes filled with malice as she pointed at Xiaosuisui in Huo Xing’Er’s arms. "This jinx should have died long ago! As long as she’s alive, she’ll bring death to our family! Put her down!"
"And what if I don’t?"
Huo Xing’Er’s aura suddenly shifted, her already expressionless face turning even colder.
Xiaosuisui had never seen this side of Huo Xing’Er. She always thought of her Second Aunt-in-law as a relaxed and easy-going person, but never realized how terrifying she could be when she was serious.
"Then I’ll beat you too!"
Old Madam Li swung her hand, aiming to strike Huo Xing’Er.
But before her hand could connect, Huo Xing’Er caught it. With a sharp CRACK, Old Madam Li’s agonizing scream echoed throughout the entire rear mountain!
