Chapter 917 - 815: Unable to Explain Clearly
Mu Yulin slapped his own head firmly.This summer, there were rumors in the court that His Majesty traveled incognito to the south, adopted a righteous daughter, and conferred upon her the title of Great Han’s Long Princess, with the honorary title of Chang Rongshun Princess!
And this Long Princess, still quite young, is a child of the Ji Family, and now...
Suisui looked at Mu Yulin, who was mumbling to himself, thinking he hadn’t heard her, so she said again, "You may rise!"
Suisui’s royal aura was simply at her command, revealing her inherent nobility of the Royal Family!
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Long Princess!"
Mu Yulin got up from the ground with his hands and feet together, cautiously glanced at Suisui, thinking he had really committed treason just now!
He had even thought of reaching out to pinch the Long Princess’s cheek!
"Your Highness, the Long Princess, Sect Leader Ji has come from afar and must be extremely fatigued. Perhaps it would be better to rest at the County Yamen first."
Suisui tilted her head upon hearing this and asked, "Is Eighth Uncle there too?"
"Yes, yes, the Eighth Master is staying in the backyard of the County Yamen."
Mu Yulin led the way ahead while talking, guiding Suisui and Ji Youyuan towards the County Yamen.
When they arrived at the County Yamen, Ji Youze had already tidied himself up, wearing a crescent-white long robe with a scholar’s headdress, giving off a refreshing and invigorated vibe!
"Eighth Uncle!"
From a distance, Suisui saw Ji Youze and shouted loudly.
She trotted over from Ji Youyuan’s embrace with her short legs, running up to Ji Youze, reaching out her little hands for him to hold her.
Ji Youze bent over, scooped the little girl up from the ground, looked her over up and down, and asked, "Who bullied you? Your eyes are all swollen from crying!"
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily turned to Ji Youyuan several times.
Ji Youyuan, feeling the gaze from Ji Youze, glared back angrily, "Why are you looking at me? Could it possibly be me bullying her?"
Seeing the expression on his brother’s face, Ji Youyuan suddenly felt inexplicably wronged!
"Suisui was only with Elder Brother the whole time. Her eyes are swollen like this; do you dare say it’s not because you bullied her?"
Ji Youyuan was so angry that he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
"Old Eight, what kind of logic is that? The kid cried, so it must be me bullying her? Can’t you see how old I am and how young she is? Would I really bully a child?"
"If you didn’t bully her, then why is she crying, with her eyes swollen to this extent?"
"You... I... She..." Ji Youyuan was so outraged by Old Eight’s barrage of questions that he struggled to respond, "Her crying means I bullied her?"
Ji Youze coldly snorted, "Even if it wasn’t you bullying her, it’s your fault for not taking care of her, causing her to cry and her eyes to swell like this!"
Ji Youyuan, exasperatedly flinging his sleeve, said, "I... there’s no reasoning with you, it’s truly a scholar encountering a soldier, logic doesn’t work!"
Ji Youze coolly reminded his brother, "I’m the scholar here!"
Ji Youyuan: "..."
Unable to reason with his brother, Ji Youyuan turned his gaze to Suisui instead.
"Others don’t know what’s up with your eyes, but surely you do?
Can’t you explain?"
Suisui scratched her little head guiltily, pouting and, with a look of grievance and sadness, let her little tears fall, "Eighth Uncle, don’t blame Big Uncle, Suisui’s eyes got caught in the sand by herself."
That small demeanor, how could it not seem like someone had a knife at her neck, forcing her to lie?
