Chapter 31: Chapter 31 The Troublemaker Appears 2_1

This troublemaker finally showed up!

Shen Tianxing watched as her mom, along with grandma, grandpa, and uncles, greeted each other with happy faces and asked about each other’s recent lives. She couldn’t bear to dampen their spirits at that moment.

If she pointed out that woman now, it would surely spoil everyone’s mood, and the meal at noon wouldn’t taste good.

Let the troublemaker strut around for a while longer. After everyone has had their fill, she would treat them to an exciting show for free.

At the full-moon celebration, the adorable protagonist, Shen Tianxing, naturally became the child everyone wanted to hold and cuddle.

Shen Tianxing’s rosy, tender baby face was so cute that every adult wanted to pinch it. The soft and elastic feel was extremely comforting to touch and pinch.

But Shen Tianxing was about to cry, her little cheeks almost swollen from all the pinching by these adults.

However, Shen Tianxing also knew that this was how the adults expressed their affection for her. She could only endure it, occasionally mustering her Spiritual Power to heal her pinched and reddened cheeks.

It was only toward that troublemaker that Shen Tianxing sensed a deep malice directed toward Li Xiuxia and her lovable self the moment the woman entered.

So, when that woman’s hand reached out to pinch Shen Tianxing’s face like everyone else’s, sensing her malice, Shen Tianxing grinned at her with an innocent and bright smile, but secretly used her Spiritual Power to fiercely jab needles of energy into her hand.

"Ah———"

Seeing the troublemaker scream from the pain of the jabbing, Shen Tianxing laughed heartily with a "giggle giggle giggle," clearly enjoying herself.

The adults were also amused by Shen Tianxing’s devilishly infectious laughter, and started laughing along heartily.

Li Xiuxia laughed as well, "My goodness, my little treasure must be so happy seeing grandma, grandpa, uncles, aunties, and cousins, right?"

"The child’s laughter is so sweet. It makes one’s heart feel light."

Li’s mother saw that the troublemaker was cradling her right hand with her left, as if severely injured, and with a pitiful look, she gave Xiaoxing an indulgent smile before turning to ask the troublemaker, "Xiuping, what’s wrong? Are you okay?"

Of course, Li Xiuping would never suspect that Shen Tianxing, the little one, had something to do with her discomfort.

Hearing Li’s mother’s question, she could only complain with a sense of grievance, "I just felt as if something jabbed my hand fiercely, it was so painful that I couldn’t help but scream. Is there something unclean in Xiuxia’s house?"

Li Xiuping is Li Xiuxia’s cousin.

They were born in the same year and grew up together. They used to be very close, but ever since Li Xiuxia got married, Xiuping also moved to a village in the next town, and their contact lessened.

This time, she had obviously heard the news of Li Xiuxia adopting a daughter and specifically returned to her mother’s home, deliberately seeking out Li’s mother to say, "Auntie, I haven’t seen Xiuxia for many years and I miss her. I’ll come with you to Xiuxia’s house tomorrow to see both Xiuxia and the child!"

Li’s mother, unaware of her hidden malice and remembering her past good relationship with her daughter, thought it was natural for her to want to see an old friend after so many years, and readily agreed.

Now, Li’s mother saw Li Xiuping suddenly scream and talk about something jabbing her. At first, she really thought some insect might have bitten her in her daughter’s home, but started to feel suspicious as she continued.

Has Li Xiuping lost her mind?

On the auspicious day of Little Xingxing’s full moon celebration, she actually claimed there was something unclean in the girl’s family. Li’s mother’s face immediately darkened, "What has pricked you? Show me right now!"

Li Xiuxia’s two sisters-in-law also looked displeased and crowded around, "Let us have a look too, were you really bitten by something?"

Li Xiuping immediately rolled up her sleeve and stretched her arm out in front of everyone.

Upon inspection... there was nothing!

The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family sneered, "There’s nothing there, Li Xiuping, could it be that you just had a delusion?"

"Exactly, or else how could there not be any trace?"

Li’s mother and the others also considered this possibility; if it wasn’t a delusion, then the ulterior motive behind her fussing was even more suspicious.

Li Xiuping herself looked at her unscathed wrist in surprise as well, and after hearing what her sisters-in-law had said, she spoke with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, I really did feel something pricking me just now, it hurt me so badly that I cried out, I wasn’t lying! I wasn’t lying!"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family hummed, "If you really were bitten or pricked by something, how come there’s not even a scratch on your hand?"

Li Xiuping said with a sobbing voice, "Xiuxia, Aunty, I really didn’t lie! You have to believe me!"

Upon seeing that Li Xiuping was about to cry, and fearing that her tears might spell bad luck for Little Xingxing, Li Xiuxia, although annoyed, still patiently comforted Li Xiuping, "Sister Ping, I believe what you said, alright, alright, since Sister Ping is fine, let’s all sit down and talk! Wenru, serve everyone some tea, quickly!"

Everyone glanced deeply at Li Xiuping.

Li’s mother was even more silently irate; she shouldn’t have agreed to bring this woman here today.

Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia, when they heard Li Xiuping talk about being pricked and Shen Tianxing giggling loudly, the clever couple seemed to have made a quick connection in their minds.

Taking the opportunity while feeding Shen Tianxing, Li Xiuxia subdued her inner pain and secretly asked Shen Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, was it that harmful thing released by her, by Li Xiuping?"

Shen Tianxing curiously replied to her with mind communication, "Mom, how did you know it was her?"

Upon hearing Shen Tianxing’s retort, Li Xiuxia knew it was done by Li Xiuping.

Li Xiuxia thought about the times when they were sisters; they always had a good relationship. Over the years, although they had married and hadn’t seen each other, Li Xiuxia had thought it was merely because both of them had their own concerns, which made it inconvenient to meet, never suspecting anything else.

When she got married, Li Xiuping hadn’t been married yet; she came over along with the people from her maiden home, so she indeed had the opportunity to act that day.

Li Xiuxia, holding back her teary nose and choking up, said to Shen Tianxing, "If it hadn’t been for your intervention just now, mom would never have thought of her. We grew up together and our feelings for each other have always been good, why would she want to harm me? Little Xingxing, tell me, why?"

Shen Tianxing quickly stretched out her little hand, comforting the somewhat upset and angry Li Xiuxia, "Mom, mom, don’t be angry, rest assured, I won’t let her off. After everyone has finished eating, I will make her confess her deeds herself, let her kneel in front of you and dad and apologize!"
