Chapter 1051: Chapter 892 Rumors in the Market?_2

"If she knew the National Master was coming to see her today, she’d definitely be happy!"

The National Master glanced at Li Xu and said, "I didn’t come to see her, I’m here to take her away from the Li Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xu felt a jolt of alarm!

"What do you mean, National Master?"

"Recently, there have been rumors, surely you’re aware?"

"Rumors? What rumors?"

Li Xu feigned ignorance, appearing as if he didn’t understand the National Master’s words at all!

"You’re a smart man, Mr. Li, there’s no need for me to explain further. Surely, you understand!"

Cold sweat began to trickle down Li Xu’s forehead. "Master National..."

"No need to put up an act in front of me. Matters of the Imperial Court are not something I wish to meddle in, but when it concerns the fate of the Great Han Country and the people of the world, it’s not just idle rumors that can decide who is a Lucky Star and who is a Calamity Star!

My disciple, and a country’s Princess, they each have their mission, their fortune.

Their existence has its own significance, not something to be decided by a few idle rumors!"

The National Master spoke bluntly before Li Xu and, in a fit of anger, directly took Li Yanyan away from the Li Mansion.

The next day, rumors spread in the Capital City that both Li Yanyan and Li Suisui have their Celestial Destiny, their own fortunes.

Furthermore, Li Yanyan had been taken by the National Master and would live permanently at the National Master’s Residence, learning under him.

Li Suisui knew nothing of these matters, at that moment she was accompanying the Ji Old Lady towards the Ji Mansion.

"Did Princess Ata really send the big Eastern pearls?"

"Yes, quite a few indeed!

Go back and see if there are any usable ones!"

The Ji Old Lady sat in the carriage, holding Xiaosui, tilting her head to look at her pretty little face, sighing, "You’ve been back for so long, with the mask taken off your face, Grandma still isn’t used to it."

On hearing this, Xiaosui blinked and touched her little face, saying, "Then should I put the mask back on?"

The Ji Old Lady pondered and said, "There are many skilled people in the world, and you have a long road ahead, so the mask! You should continue to wear it!"

Xiaosui obediently said okay, and after returning, she started learning to make human skin masks with Ji Old Lady!

"Yes, yes, that’s how you do it, see if the size of your face fits?

This scar! Needs to be adjusted regularly, you’re young and growing, so the scar on your face will change with your face shape, the color also needs to vary!"

Xiaosui said "Okay, remembered, Grandmother."

Ji Youyuan hurriedly walked in from outside, "Mother! I heard someone brought a few big Eastern pearls, is it true?"

Seeing Ji Youyuan’s anxious appearance, Ji Old Lady said, "They were sent by Princess Ata’s brother, Prince Ajia, only one is usable, plus the one in the Imperial Palace, at least one more is needed."

"Still one short, last night again, the unborn child in Dongxue’s belly moved frequently, if we don’t find the third one soon, it’ll be trouble!"

Hearing Ji Youyuan’s words, Ji Old Lady became worried, saying, "The fetal movements are frequent again, what should be done?"

Ji Old Lady immediately turned her gaze to Xiaosui and asked, "Suisui, do you have any methods to delay it?"

Xiaosui said, "There are ways, but they only temporarily solve the problem, not the root. If it comes to it, just drill holes in these two to make ornaments for Aunt to wear, and deal with the rest later!"

"If there’s no other way, that’s all we can do!"

Ji Youyuan agreed with Xiaosui’s suggestion.

However, Xiaosui then said, "But if we drill holes in these two, it’ll be hard to find more later!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan immediately turned and left.

Seeing Ji Youyuan’s reaction, Xiaosui quickly asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"Don’t mind him, he must be going to find your third uncle, then sending an urgent message to the Illusion Sect to find out if they’ve found more pearls?"

Xiaosui said nothing upon hearing this, softly acknowledging, and then continued learning to make masks with the Ji Old Lady!

In the Palace

Ji Youzhi reported to the Emperor about the exchanged birth dates of Xie Pan’Er and Xie Yingying.

The Emperor nodded knowingly.

"So it was! This explains a lot, then let’s expedite the matter of Ji Old Lady adopting a foster daughter!"
