Another voice whispered, “If the girl in the painting represents Lady Chang, then the instigator is the fierce tiger… who do those monkeys in the trees signify?” The question hung in the air, with the two parties locking eyes momentarily. —Those monkeys must be them! “Monkeys represent metal, which can also suppress the fire from wood,” Chang Suining’s voice rang out as she smiled at the crowd. “I thank everyone for witnessing justice today.” Laughter erupted around them.

Chapter 24: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

  **Chapter 24: Overflowing Confidence**


Making kites seemed difficult.


But the two children were oblivious to this.


They brimmed with confidence, declaring, "We can do it!"

And so, they spent three days working on them.


During these three days, Prince Qing made only one appearance, quickly checking on the two children’s well-being and, seeing they were safe, left with reassurance.


As for Suisui and Feng Xuanrui...


Their initial overflowing confidence gave way to frustration. While molding the bamboo strips, they cried out, “Waaah, making kites is really hard!”


“Brother, my hand is injured again!”


“Waaah, I’m bleeding!”


...


On the first day of making kites, the children were full of confidence.


By the second day, their hands were cut up from the bamboo strips, and their enthusiasm waned.


By the third day, unable to even create a kite frame, they sat crying.


Qingshan and Qingshui not only had to split bamboo but also had to console the two children.


The good news was that Feng Xuanrui’s fever had subsided and had not returned.


And judging by the robust cries, it seemed he was recovering well.


The bad news was...


The entire relay station was filled with either the children’s cries or the sounds of trying to comfort them.


Of course, Feng Xuanrui was the one crying.


Suisui, when she cried, rarely made any noise.


Sometimes, silent tears were even more heart-wrenching.


Physician Liu had become increasingly irritable over these three days.


He often practiced swordplay late into the night, making Diao Jiao and Diao Yu walk on tiptoes and keep quiet.


On the fourth day, the weather was clear, and the spring breeze was gentle.


After waking up early, Suisui, being sensible, washed her face and brushed her teeth.


When cleaning her teeth with a bit of green salt, Suisui was very careful, even afraid to use too much salt in case she was reprimanded.


The system, observing this in Suisui’s mind, felt heartbroken.


It then began to poke at the main deity’s mailbox.


It suspected that the storyteller system was broken.


Because they hadn’t had a bedtime storyteller for three days!


Three days without one—was this reasonable?


The system seriously suspected that the main deity was conspiring against them!


Suisui didn’t understand these matters.


Though there had been no bedtime stories, she was very happy these three days!


Because her brother was by her side.


After tidying up and changing into her clothes, Suisui ran to find Feng Xuanrui.


At this moment, Feng Xuanrui was still lounging in bed.


Qingshui had tried every possible way to persuade him, but to no avail.


“I’m too tired, I don’t want to move.”


“Qingshui, stop calling me.”


“Leave me alone, I don’t want to get up.”


...


Just as Qingshui was about to give up, he turned around and saw Suisui peeking through the door.


Seeing that Suisui had discovered him, Qingshui’s face lit up with relief and he pointed at Suisui with a smile, “Young Master, the young lady is here.”


Because of Feng Xuanrui’s affection for Suisui, everyone in the post station referred to Suisui as “young lady.”


Feng Xuanrui, who had been trying to change his sleeping position, immediately jumped up upon hearing that his sister was here: “Where? Where is she?”


The young boy, who had slept in a very disheveled manner the night before, had his inner robe undone, exposing a fair and slightly fleshy chest.


Feng Xuanrui, initially confused, saw his state and let out a loud cry. He quickly tidied his clothes as if he were an embarrassed young bride.


After fixing his clothes, he nervously looked towards the door.


Suisui, startled by Feng Xuanrui’s scream, rushed in, fearing something had happened to her brother.


By the time Feng Xuanrui looked up, Suisui was already close.


With her freshly medicated little head showing a hint of yellow, it dazzled Feng Xuanrui, instantly waking him up.


The rarely embarrassed young boy instinctively shrank back into the bed, scratched his disheveled hair, and gave a sheepish smile: “Good morning, sister.”


Seeing that her brother was okay, Suisui sighed in relief and replied sweetly, “Good morning, brother.”


With Suisui here, Feng Xuanrui felt he couldn’t stay in bed any longer.


Previously, due to digestive issues, Suisui’s diet had been bland.


Feng Xuanrui, due to his fever, had also been eating plain congee.


Now that both children were recovering, their diet could be slightly adjusted.


Today’s breakfast was meat congee, with vegetable buns and pickles.


The meat was tender, and the congee was cooked until soft and slightly flowered.


A touch of salt made it delicious and savory.


Not only did it smell good, but it also tasted even better.


Suisui had never eaten meat before.


At least, not since she could remember.


So, when she saw the meat in the congee, she was somewhat apprehensive.


Unsure if she could eat it, she cautiously looked at Feng Xuanrui.


Feng Xuanrui, having been eating plain congee for days, was thrilled to see the meat congee. His eyes lit up: “Not bad, not bad, this congee looks good.”


Noticing Suisui’s gaze, Feng Xuanrui turned to her with a puzzled look: “Suisui, what’s wrong? Is the congee too hot? It’s alright, I’ll help you blow on it.”


As Feng Xuanrui spoke, he brought Suisui’s congee to his own bowl, stirring it while gently blowing on it.


After a few attempts to cool it, noticing that Suisui was still watching him, Feng Xuanrui was puzzled.


He thought for a moment and then had a lightbulb moment: “Suisui, do you want me to feed you?”


At the mention of this, Feng Xuanrui’s eyes brightened.


He had never personally fed Suisui before, and he was looking forward to it.


Suisui, having been reassured by her brother, began to understand that the meat congee was for her.


But she still wasn’t sure, so she timidly asked Feng Xuanrui, “Brother, can I eat this too?”


Hearing Suisui’s question, Feng Xuanrui instinctively replied, “Why wouldn’t you be able to?”


Realizing Suisui’s anxious expression, Feng Xuanrui then understood.


That damned Chen Dalang family!


They deserved to be sent to the southwest for stone quarrying!


After cursing inwardly, Feng Xuanrui smiled warmly, “You are Feng Xuanrui’s sister, of course, you can eat!”


With that, Feng Xuanrui scooped a spoonful of congee and brought it to Suisui’s mouth: “Ah, open your mouth, Suisui, let me feed you.”


Feng Xuanrui’s actions were both awkward and tender.


Suisui, having just received her brother’s affirmation, was already touched.


At this moment, seeing her brother’s actions, her eyes filled with tears.


She obediently leaned forward, opening her mouth to receive the congee.


Suisui, sitting there waiting to be fed, looked like a soft and adorable kitten.


Feng Xuanrui, witnessing this scene up close, felt his heart melt with warmth.


The young boy was internally screaming with excitement.


Ah, my sister is really so cute!


If it were a mischievous little brother, Feng Xuanrui thought, feeding him a spoonful of congee might result in him retaliating with a prank!
