Chapter 128: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 128: Liu Hemeng**
Suisui really liked her new hat, but breakfast was also important.
So, when her mother mentioned it, she obediently followed to eat.
Feng Xuanrui and the others came over early and quickly surrounded Suisui when they saw her new hat. “Sister, this looks great!”
“This braid is beautiful!”
“I want one too!”
…
Her brothers naturally showered her with compliments.
Suisui shyly pressed her lips together and smiled bashfully.
Feng Xuanbin, the youngest, spoke without reservation.
Seeing the pretty hat, he wanted one too.
It was a bit awkward for her to respond, especially since it involved concubine Zhou.
So, she just kept quiet.
Qi Wangfei smiled and said, “Ask your mother if she can help you sew one.”
Feng Xuanbin quickly nodded, “Right, let’s ask my mother!”
Concubine Zhou was still feeling unwell from the troubles back in Wenzhou.
The next day, she forced herself to come and pay her respects.
Concubine Zhou was worried about what others might think. How could the Wangfei call her over for a chat and then she fell ill the next day?
If she hadn’t been so weak, she wouldn’t have come at all.
So, as soon as she felt a bit better and had some strength, she made her way over.
Concubine Zhou felt relieved that in the past few days, because of Suisui, Feng Xuanbin hadn’t come to her courtyard and hadn’t seen her red eyes and worried expression.
She was trying hard to adjust her state of mind.
She thought, no matter how difficult it was, she had to hold on; she still had the seventh son to care for.
Everyone happily had breakfast; Suisui drank millet and yam porridge and ate red bean rolls.
After breakfast, Feng Xuanrui and the others went to class.
Feng Xuanbin was addicted to skipping classes and kept glancing back at the beautiful hat with every step he took.
If it weren’t for Qi Wangfei watching closely, he really would have wanted to run away from class!
In the end, he didn’t manage to escape and obediently went to class.
The people from the Grand Princess's residence hadn’t arrived yet, so Qi Wangfei went to find Physician Liu to see if he had brought his granddaughter.
Physician Liu had come into the residence early today to check on Suisui’s health.
The little girl wasn’t well, so he needed to keep a close eye on her to see how her recovery was going.
At this moment, he was in the side hall of the front yard sorting medicinal herbs.
Beside him, a chattering little girl named Liu Hemeng was Physician Liu’s granddaughter.
She was very talkative, pointing out the herbs as her grandfather sorted them, saying, “This is Atractylodes, and that is white bamboo,” and then, “This herb smells bad, but that one is for treating….”
Although she was only seven years old, her talent in medicine was already evident.
Physician Liu was both proud and worried.
He was proud that his granddaughter had a good talent and could inherit their family’s medical knowledge.
But he was worried that…
The little girl was too lively and found it hard to focus on studying for long periods.
He was afraid that Mengmeng would waste her talent and ultimately fail due to a lack of concentration.
Liu Hemeng had been to the palace before, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with it.
Today, she came along because her grandfather said they were here to keep a little sister company.
As the little sister hadn’t arrived yet, Liu Hemeng grew anxious. “Where’s my sister? Why hasn’t she come yet?”
“Could it be that she’s sleeping in?”
“Oh dear, if that’s the case, it would be so embarrassing! I don’t even sleep in!”
…
The little girl was indeed very talkative, and her voice was quite loud.
While Physician Liu was busy sorting the herbs, he would occasionally glance at her with a satisfied smile.
Clearly, he was very fond of his granddaughter.
When Qi Wangfei arrived, holding Suisui’s hand, she heard Liu Hemeng speaking loudly.
Listening to the little girl’s bright voice made Qi Wangfei unconsciously smile.
She thought it was nice to have a lively little girl around; it would help Suisui become bolder too.
Hearing the noise at the entrance, Physician Liu noticed Qi Wangfei had come and hurriedly pulled Liu Hemeng’s hand to greet her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he introduced, “Suisui, this is Sister Mengmeng.”
Liu Hemeng’s name came from a medicinal herb, and her family hadn’t given her a separate nickname, so they just called her Mengmeng.
Physician Liu was very good to her, and Suisui, upon seeing her, politely greeted her and then looked at Liu Hemeng, who was standing not far in front of her.
The older sister had big, bright eyes and was quite pretty.
Liu Hemeng wore an adorable little bun with a beautiful pink ribbon on top.
Her hair was shiny and thick, and as Suisui looked at her, she felt a twinge of envy.
She thought, once my hair grows longer, it should be like that, right?
Holding onto this fantasy, Suisui sweetly smiled at Liu Hemeng, saying, “Sister Mengmeng, hello! I’m Suisui.”
Suisui’s voice still carried a childlike lilt.
Upon hearing that, Liu Hemeng felt her heart melt.
Liu Hemeng’s mother had only given birth to her and her brother, and she had once thought about asking her mother to have another little sister.
Unfortunately, her mother had complications during her birth and hadn’t been able to conceive again for many years.
A little sister had become a fantasy and a wish.
Now, hearing Suisui call her sister, Liu Hemeng’s eyes lit up, and her heart felt alive.
She thought, isn’t this just like having a real sister?
Oh no!
She looked so adorable!
Unable to control herself, Liu Hemeng took a couple of steps forward, gently touching Suisui’s soft little face, her smile bright and cheerful, “Hello, little sister! I’m Sister Mengmeng; just call me sister!”
What sister Mengmeng?
Just sister, real sister!
If she wanted a sister, she had to be shameless.
While the little sister was still small, she’d just take her away!
Hey, by the time she grew up and realized it, it would be too late.
Suisui was already her Liu Hemeng’s sister. How could she run away?
No way, that must not happen!
The more Liu Hemeng thought about it, the more she felt her plan was brilliant.
Fate was a strange thing.
Due to her aunt, Liu Hemeng had met Ying Zhi and played with her before.
However, when the two little girls met, they would immediately bicker. If it weren’t for the respect for the Grand Princess’s status, they would have practically fought!
In Liu Hemeng’s eyes, Ying Zhi was cute.
But as a sister?
Only a dog would want that kind of sister!
No, she had to resist!
Ying Qiao was not cute at all.
How could she compare to Suisui, who was soft all over, as if touching a soft cloud?
Liu Hemeng thought, if she had a sister, she would definitely want one like Suisui.
As for Ying Qiao…
No way, she didn’t want that!
Thinking of her sister, Liu Hemeng suddenly remembered that she had candy in her pouch this morning.
She had thought that if the little sister was cute, she would share it with her.
If she wasn’t cute…
Well, forget it.
She had a limited amount of candy each day and wouldn’t want to share with a sister she didn’t like.
Someone like Ying Qiao, she wouldn’t even share a piece of candy with!
Not even half a piece!
