My Princess Holds Superpowers

"Mm-hmm." Eight-year-old Yan Caicai nodded, tugging at the just-six-year-old Yan Jun, and headed towards Ye Jiu and Ye Qinghua.

Once outside, Yan Caicai looked in the direction where Ye Qingzhi and others were playing in the snow and asked Ye Jiu, "Auntie, can I go play with them?"

"Of course, go ahead." After saying this, Ye Jiu called out to Ye Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, Wenhao, take Caicai with you to play."

Yan Caicai, while walking, didn’t forget to pull the little Yan Jun along. It was clear that the siblings had a good relationship.

Ye Wenqing and Ye Wenyu had also run off somewhere by then, leaving just a few children in the courtyard, who were still horsing around. Ye Jiu, feeling uneasy, had the servants in the courtyard keep an eye on them.

Turning her head, Ye Jiu asked Ye Qinghua, who was still standing behind her, "Why don’t you feel like playing?"

Ye Qinghua in turn asked Ye Jiu, "Auntie, aren’t you going?"

Ye Jiu shook her head and smiled, "I’m afraid of the cold."

Ye Qinghua glanced at the few little brats and then thought about her own age, suddenly losing the interest to join them: "Then I won’t go either. I don’t want to play with those little brats."

"You speak as if you’re much older!" Ye Jiu laughed, "Is it that your sister-in-law has been too strict with you, making you forget that you’re still a child yourself?"

Ye Qinghua’s face immediately wrinkled in consternation, pleadingly pulling on Ye Jiu, "Auntie, dear auntie, can I stay here with you for a few days? I’m nearly driven mad by my mother at home!"

"What happened?" Ye Jiu asked in surprise.

Given Mrs. Zhang’s temperament, at most she would be a bit strict. It shouldn’t have reached the point where Ye Qinghua felt the need to escape, should it?
