My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 30: Just finally got a little freedom at 30

“Understood, Uncle.” The seriousness on Ye Gaosheng’s face elicited an exceptionally obedient response from Ye Wenqing. @@novelbin@@

Ye Jiu: “…”

Looking at the earnestness with which these two discussed, how could she, who appeared to be a child on the outside but was already an adult inside, bear it!

After all, in everyone’s hearts, Ye Jiu was like a national treasure. With the He family’s influence as well, nobody dared to take her lightly, unless someone who was too comfortable wanted to make their presence felt, just like Ye Erya.

Of course, not everyone could bear the consequences, as one could tell by how Ye Erya had had to lie in bed for half a month, still unwell, yet had to stay busy every day without a moment’s rest.

As time ticked by second by second, Ye Jiu felt her legs growing sore from crouching on the side.

...

Looking down the entire street, nearly half the peasant families were selling their own chickens’ eggs or radishes and cabbages. It was still uncertain when Ye Gaosheng would manage to sell off his goods.

Growing impatient from waiting, Ye Jiu tugged at Ye Gaosheng and said, “Fourth Brother, I’ve never been to the town before. I’d like to take a look around nearby. You and Wenqing keep watch here; I won’t go far and will come back soon.”

Ye Gaosheng couldn’t agree, “Little sister, the town is crowded; you can’t just walk around alone. What if we can’t find you later?”

“It’s okay, I’m not going far, just looking around nearby. Besides, I’m not a three-year-old toddler. People my age are already running around on their own. I’ll just take a short walk nearby; how could I possibly get lost!” In the past, Ye Jiu always wanted to enjoy being cherished, but now she realized that being loved too fiercely sometimes became a burden.

At the very least, she now lacked even basic freedom. Whether at home or outside, everything she did had to be supervised.

After Ye Jiu finished speaking, Ye Gaosheng thought for a long while before hesitantly compromising, “Fine, if you really can’t wait, let Wenqing go with you for a stroll. I can manage here by myself; just make sure you two don’t wander off too far.”

After speaking, Ye Gaosheng, still worried, admonished Ye Wenqing, “Wenqing, you must take good care of your little aunt. Make sure you don’t lose her.”

Ye Wenqing nodded seriously again, “Uncle, rest assured, I will certainly take good care of my little aunt.”

Ye Jiu resigned herself to the situation. With Ye Wenqing accompanying her, though it might be less convenient, it was still better than everyone stuck here.

Moreover, how could she find a way to market her ‘repair liquid’ if she didn’t look around!

“Let’s go, let’s go.” Ye Jiu said, walking ahead, as she couldn’t stand the way these two always treated her like a three-year-old toddler.

Seeing Ye Jiu walking ahead quickly, Ye Wenqing hurriedly got up to catch up, “Little aunt, slow down.”

Ye Wenqing couldn’t afford to be careless. This precious little aunt rarely came out; if anything were to happen to her, both he and his uncle would get in trouble when they got back—a mild beating would be the least of their worries. The scariest part would be Grandma’s concern, which would make their lives difficult afterwards.

However, it wasn’t easy for Ye Jiu to finally have some freedom, and she was not in the mood to consider Ye Wenqing’s worries.

Ye Jiu walked ahead without looking back, leaving behind the vegetable market street and entering a bustling street. However, after observing for a long time, she couldn’t find a suitable place to sell her merchandise.

Behind her, Ye Wenqing was filled with worry, “Little aunt, Uncle said not to go too far. It’s getting late; the eggs might have already been sold. We should head back now?”
