Chapter 132: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 132: Envy
When the Grand Princess mentioned Suisui, Qi Wangfei's heart leaped with joy.
It was always nice to have her child remembered by others.
However, recalling the disaster from that day, her heart sank again.
Before she could speak, Yingzhi was the first to ask, "By the way, where is Sister Suisui? Why haven't we seen her today? Did she go to the small classroom?"
Yingzhi's question piqued the curiosity of both Sun Shi and Yan Shi.
Qi Wangfei wanted to make up something to avoid having Suisui come out, but it seemed impossible now.
Suppressing her unease, she smiled and said, "She hasn't gone to school yet; I thought it best for her to rest a bit. Right now, she’s playing with Lady Liu’s daughter."
In just two days, the Grand Princess had learned enough about Suisui’s background—namely, that she had been brought back from Qingzhou by Prince Qing.
Beyond that, she didn't know much more.
Though Qi Wangfei had talked about Suisui with several people, she was selective about whom she shared details with.
She only spoke to those who wouldn’t spread rumors and who absolutely needed to know.
Thus, the Grand Princess had no idea about Suisui's connection to the Jin Yang Marquisate.
Furthermore, Qi Wangfei was keen on keeping that information under wraps to avoid any gossip.
The Grand Princess felt a pang of sympathy for the child.
But now that Suisui had come to the Qi royal residence, she felt reassured that the girl had endured hardship but was finally enjoying some peace.
When Yingzhi heard that Suisui was playing with Liu Hemeng, her eyes lit up. "Is she playing with Liu Mengmeng? Grandma, I want to go play too!"
Yingzhi, being quite mischievous and strong-willed, rarely had playmates her age.
So when she encountered a sweet and adorable girl like Suisui, she naturally remembered her fondly, especially with that lovely hair...
It must feel wonderful to touch!
Yingzhi eagerly looked up at the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess doted on her great-granddaughter, but since they were at someone else's home, she couldn't just make decisions based on her status.
After meeting Yingzhi’s gaze, she sighed and turned to Qi Wangfei, tentatively asking, "Shall we let the children play together?"
With everyone inquiring, Qi Wangfei couldn’t refuse and soon nodded. "If Your Highness doesn’t mind the noise, I’ll have them come over to play."
The Grand Princess thought to herself, "Why would I mind noise? My own kids are rowdy every day!"
She waved her hand dismissively, then casually asked about the recent births on the estate.
Although she often pretended to care only about mundane matters, when she needed something, she could be quite selective.
Qi Wangfei relayed the number of lambs born during the recent delivery.
Hearing this, the Grand Princess’s interest was piqued: "I’ll send someone to collect two lambs. Xiao has been unwell lately, and I thought lamb meat would be nourishing. Plus, Qiao Qiao likes it too. My own lambs..."
She sighed helplessly at the thought of her own sheep.
Originally, she had planned to take the kids to the separate estate, having arranged for lambs to be moved there beforehand.
But then, with that explosion...
The lambs were reduced to ashes.
Now, if she wanted to eat lamb, she'd either have to wait for the next batch of ewes to give birth or ask someone else.
The Grand Princess had always been proud and rarely begged, but sometimes there was no choice.
Despite her usual complaints about Yingzhi, she secretly remembered her great-grandson’s preferences.
Just a few lambs weren’t a big deal; Qi Wangfei wasn’t worried. "Alright, I’ll arrange for them to be sent to the front estate to be cared for."
The Grand Princess accepted without objection.
Aunt Qiu quickly went to call for Suisui and Liu Hemeng.
When she arrived, Suisui was busy spinning a bamboo dragonfly, beaming with pride for having accomplished it all by herself.
Liu Hemeng was an encouraging big sister.
"Suisui is amazing!"
"You’re so impressive, Suisui!"
"Wow, Suisui can spin it all by herself at such a young age—fantastic!".
