Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Behind Princess Xuehua, a maid was holding a wooden bucket in her hand. Faintly audible from the bucket were the panicked squeaks of mice and the sound of their claws scrambling around inside.

Raising her hand to signal the maid holding the wooden bucket to hide first, Princess Xuehua herself walked towards Nanny Jin and said, “Nanny, the two-hour mark is almost up. Please go and invite the Empress Dowager over now.”

Nanny Jin, seeing the smile on Princess Xuehua’s face, asked somewhat anxiously, “And what about you, Princess?”

Nanny Jin was an old nanny in the palace and had seen many of the scheming and plotting that went on in the harem. She had long noticed Princess Xuehua’s animosity towards Su Qian and naturally did not feel at ease leaving her alone, so she asked her to stay.

“Of course I’ll go with you, Nanny.” Princess Xuehua blinked innocently and asked, “Why do you ask? Are you worried that 1 might do something bad to Miss Su?”

“I wouldn’t dare, Princess. Let’s hurry and go so we don’t keep the Empress Dowager waiting.” Nanny Jin finally felt relieved and left together with Princess Xuehua.

Xiao Yin looked at Princess Xuehua with a hint of disdain before noticing the maid who had hidden herself away. As soon as she saw that no one was around, the maid quietly carried the wooden bucket over to Su Qian’s window.

The maid sneaked a peek at Su Qian, who was diligently copying scriptures, through the open window. Then she smirked and placed her hand on the lid of the wooden bucket, preparing to put the mice inside. But suddenly, she heard a young and childish voice ringing above her head.

“Hey, little sister, what are you up to?”

The maid was so scared that she almost forgot to breathe. When she looked up, she saw a chubby spider descending from above, spewing out a big mouthful of snow-white spider silk, which instantly glued her face, making it impossible for her to breathe. She raised her hand to try to tear off the spider silk, but was stuck by the sticky silk. In a panic, she flung the bucket away and threw it into the room.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yin’s eyes widened in fear, “It’s over, it’s over, this is really bad!”

Su Qian heard a loud thud and followed the sound to see the wooden bucket that had been thrown into the room by the maid.

The lid of the wooden bucket was open, and several black rats the size of a palm crawled out all at once. There were seven or eight of them, and they swarmed towards Su Qian in a dark mass.

As the terrifying mice screeched and ran towards her, most women would have been frightened to the point of wailing.

However, Su Qian only glanced at the rats before withdrawing her gaze and calmly continued copying the scriptures.

The mice seemed to sense Su Qian’s contempt for them, and immediately swung their plump bodies and screeched as they charged towards her.

As Xiao Yin climbed in through the open window, it happened to witness this scene. It was so scared that it quickly puckered its lips and sprayed out seven or eight sharp spider silk needles, which nailed the mice to the ground.

The leader of the mice, who was originally charging forward with its followers, was so frightened by the sight that it let out a miserable scream and turned around to run. However, it was caught by Xiao Yin’s spider silk and stuck to the ground, howling in fear as Xiao Yin descended from above and sat on it.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!” Although the mouse couldn’t communicate with high-level demonic beasts like Xiao Yin, it knew what fear was. The moment Xiao Yin appeared, the absolute bloodline suppression made it unable to resist, and it could only scream in fear.

“Stop whining, or I’ll kill you.” Xiao Yin said, tapping the mouse head with one of its spider legs and warning it coldly, “I can spare your life for now, but later you’ll have to do something for me..”
