Chapter 74: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 74: “Sister, is Seventh Brother’s kneeling up to standard?”
Feng Xuanbin was dumbfounded when he realized he still had to apologize to his sister.
Upon reflection, he remembered that he had made his sister cry just now.
He really should apologize!
Previously, he had thought it was his sister’s fault for snatching his brother away, which made him feel justified in bumping into her.
But if it was his sister…
Feng Xuanbin started to laugh again.
No wonder it felt so soft when he bumped into that little bald head earlier; it turned out to be his sister.
Feng Xuanbin seriously thought about how to apologize so his sister would forgive him.
Offending his sister on his first day in the mansion was not ideal.
He put his clever little brain to work and fell into deep thought.
Feng Xuanrui, feeling uneasy, decided to check on the situation.
Suisui, showing her strength, did not dare to cry and followed Aunt Qiu quietly.
Aunt Qiu carefully took care of Suisui, changed her clothes, and then brought her out again.
After all this fuss, Suisui was no longer feeling as aggrieved.
She thought that if being near her brother meant enduring some grievances, she could accept it.
Compared to before, her life now was indeed very good.
At least she had her brother’s love.
A bit of suffering was expected.
When Aunt Qiu brought Suisui out again, she had already comforted herself.
As soon as she came out, she saw the little chubby boy who had bumped into her earlier kneeling there properly, looking up at the house.
Seeing Suisui, Feng Xuanbin’s eyes lit up. He quickly crawled over, and upon reaching her, he directly hugged Suisui’s little leg and cried out, “Sister, I’m your Seventh Brother!”
His loud cries seemed to shake the heavens and earth, making it sound like the sky was falling.
Suisui was startled, looked down, and saw the little chubby boy kneeling there and clinging tightly to her leg.
Seventh Brother?
No, no, no. Suisui felt that right now she didn’t want a Seventh Brother; she wanted her brother.
She was scared!
Seventh Brother was too frightening!
Even though Suisui had bravely held back her tears after being bumped, she was now so frightened that she was on the verge of crying.
She wanted to struggle but was also a bit afraid.
In the end, Feng Xuanrui came over quickly, pulled Feng Xuanbin away, and scolded him unhappily, “What are you doing? Don’t scare your sister!”
Feng Xuanbin, looking up with a confused expression, said, “I’m apologizing to my sister!”
After explaining, he looked at Suisui with eager eyes, “Sister, look, is Seventh Brother’s kneeling up to standard? Can you forgive Seventh Brother now?”
Seeing that Suisui just pursed her lips and didn’t speak, shrinking behind Feng Xuanrui, Feng Xuanbin felt a pang of disappointment. He skillfully changed his approach and looked at Suisui again, “If you don’t want to forgive me, at least call me Seventh Brother first? No one has ever called me that before.”
Seeing Suisui still shrinking back, Feng Xuanbin wondered if his apology wasn’t sincere enough.
He turned his clever little head (or so he thought) and then started banging his head on the ground.
Aunt Qiu was startled and quickly lifted him up.
Feng Xuanrui was also furious and said, “Foolish Seventh, why are you banging your head? Stop it!”
Feng Xuanbin, still not angry and with a puzzled face, asked, “If I don’t need to bang my head, can my sister call me Seventh Brother?”
Feng Xuanrui’s perception of him was that he was a bit dim-witted.
Although Feng Xuanbin had bumped into his sister and was now bowing his head, acknowledging his mistake, Feng Xuanrui thought he was a good person and shouldn’t be harshly judged for his stupidity.
With that in mind, he turned to Suisui and gently asked, “Sister, Seventh Brother is a bit foolish; let’s not bother with him. Let’s go find Mother.”
After speaking, Feng Xuanrui looked at Feng Xuanbin.
Feng Xuanbin, looking at him with a pitiful expression, did not dare to cry.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanrui felt a bit of sympathy.
He gently held Suisui’s hand and asked, “Sister, do you want to call Seventh Brother?”
He also gave Feng Xuanbin a bit of encouragement, “Seventh Brother is just a bit slow; don’t hold it against him. He’s not a bad person.”
Suisui had previously encountered children who liked to bully her.
Feng Xuanbin was less malicious compared to them.
Moreover, his malice was only during the time he bumped into her.
Now, Suisui no longer felt any malice.
And her brother was asking her too.
Suisui thought for a moment and softly called out, “Seventh Brother.”
Feng Xuanbin, upon hearing this, chuckled twice and then shouted, “Ah, ah, ah, ah!”
Feng Xuanrui found him too noisy and quickly pulled Suisui forward.
Aunt Qiu and the servant hurried to keep up.
Feng Xuanbin, who had just enjoyed being called Seventh Brother, saw that everyone was leaving and hurried to catch up, “Wait for me!”
When Suisui and Feng Xuanrui returned to the front hall, Prince Qing was preparing to leave.
If not for his concern that the young girl might feel insecure, he would have left earlier.
Seeing them come over, Prince Qing nodded to the two children before turning to Qi Wangfei to say goodbye, “sister-in-law, I’m sorry, but I have official business and need to go to the palace to report to His Majesty. I must take my leave.”
Prince Qing had to report back to the capital.
Qi Wangfei was aware of this and knew that Prince Qing’s trip had delayed his other matters due to her own children.
Qi Wangfei was both grateful and apologetic, and before he left, she prepared a gift.
Prince Qing graciously accepted it after some persuasion.
Prince Qing indeed needed to go to the palace.
During the mountain bandit capture, he had discovered many things.
Some of these things could not be clearly explained in written reports and needed to be discussed directly with His Majesty.
For example, the bandit leader’s identity might be more complex, involving matters beyond just bandits.
However, the people he brought, except for Master Hanshuang who was sharp-witted, were all like him—rough and unskilled in investigations.
So, he would report to His Majesty and let him make arrangements.
After seeing off Prince Qing, Qi Wangfei turned to look at the two children.
After more than a month, Qi Wangfei naturally missed her young son.
Her child, who had been pampered and never left her side for so long, was now returning.
If it hadn’t been to clarify the situation, Qi Wangfei wouldn’t have sent the children away.
Now, seeing them and thinking about Feng Xuanrui’s experiences, Qi Wangfei’s tears flowed uncontrollably.
She pulled the two children close and cried, tears streaming down her face.
Feng Xuanrui, seeing his mother crying, also couldn’t hold back his tears and kept wiping them away.
Suisui, who had not intended to cry, was also unable to control herself due to the atmosphere.
Feng Xuanbin, whose chubby legs moved slowly, saw his mother and the siblings crying when he arrived.
He was confused but couldn’t help but cry too.
Noticing he was alone, he squeezed in between Feng Xuanrui and Suisui, creating a space, “Let me in, ah, let me in, woo woo!”
For his brother, he was willing to endure hardships.
