She reached out, picked it up, and sniffed it lightly. Her expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you figure something out?\" Wang Dongxue leaned close to her ear and asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Xing’Er shook her head lightly. \"I couldn’t figure anything out. I just think this red string seems to have a scent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Youzhi snatched the red string from Huo Xing’Er’s hand. He held it under his nose and sniffed; his expression changed instantly.He felt as if he had overlooked something crucial.He then bolted outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going? What did you find out?\" Zhu Xiuxiu hurried to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Xing’Er quickly grabbed her. \"Old Seventh’s reputation as the Divine Hunter isn’t for show; he’s probably thought of a key point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Zhu Xiuxiu stop herself from chasing after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ji Youzhi opened the door, he saw Xiaosuisui hiding beneath the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosuisui was crouched down, muttering, \"You can’t see me, you can’t see me, Seventh Uncle can’t see me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you take me for a blind man?\" Ji Youzhi suddenly found it amusing. This little girl was always hiding outside the window; he had known all along. He hadn’t come out only because they were at home, where she wouldn’t be in any danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Uncle isn’t blind! He’ll never be blind!\" Xiaosuisui chirped a blessing casually and turned to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youzhi grabbed her by her small collar, then took the red string from her wrist. He sniffed it and remarked, \"It does indeed have a faint, fresh fragrance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then said, \"Seventh Uncle is taking this red string,\" and went to knock on Ji Youran’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ji family members came out of the room and saw Xiaosuisui, they were all startled. Her aunts exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you asleep?\" Zhu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but blurt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosuisui giggled, scratching her little head. She looked down at her toes, twiddling her fingers, and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam glanced at her three daughters-in-law, then picked up the little girl and carried her back to her room. The three daughters-in-law immediately felt a pang of guilt. The Old Madam’s gaze clearly conveyed her thought:Three adults, and you can’t even watch over one child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the bed, Xiaosuisui looked tentatively at Old Madam Ji. \"Grandma, did I cause trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Ji stroked her small head and sighed. \"Child, when we are born, we are all like blank sheets of paper. Every experience we have adds a stroke of color to that paper. The red string on your wrist is one such stroke of color on your paper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosuisui nodded at the Old Madam’s words, whether she truly understood them or not, and slowly closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dongxue approached and whispered, \"Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam rose and, with Wang Dongxue’s support, went to Ji Youran’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youran looked at the two red strings, his expression solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These strings have been treated with special medicinal herbs to create a fragrance,\" Ji Youran explained. \"This scent is undetectable unless one has a particularly sensitive nose for smells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ji Youzhi’s face showed an ’I knew it’ expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youran continued, \"This fragrance is very similar to a type of Gu scent I’ve been researching recently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu?\" Everyone in the room exclaimed in unison, their faces instantly paling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me Suisui has been afflicted with Gu?\" Old Madam Ji was agitated and slapped Ji Youran on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother! Please listen to what Second Brother has to say first.\" Ji Youyuan’s face was taut, his fists clenched tightly. Those who knew him well understood how furious he was.\u003C\u002Fp>",621,"2026-06-06T14:52:07.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","46cd9009be35ef0abb274532f2306c609f86defed32bd2cc3150370aa00d9e0d","a-cutie-spoiled-by-her-seven-uncles-chapter-45","a-cutie-spoiled-by-her-seven-uncles-chapter-43",1070,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-cutie-spoiled-by-her-seven-uncles-cover.jpg"]
