Chapter 75: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 75: The Empress**
Feng Xuanbin’s crying had actually dissipated half of the somber atmosphere.
Qi Wangfei reined in her emotions, gently wiped her tears, and tenderly released the three children.
Just as Feng Xuanbin squeezed in, tears streaming down his face, he realized he was being let go.
He looked around blankly, first at his sixth brother and sister, then at his mother, and foolishly asked, “Mother, are you not crying anymore?”
Suisui was equally puzzled, looking around helplessly before moving closer to Feng Xuanrui.
Feng Xuanbin was curious whether he should continue crying or not. Seeing his sister avoiding him, he sadly cried out, “Sister, don’t avoid Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother has candy!”
Qi Wangfei’s sadness was completely interrupted by the three children’s antics.
She thought to herself, it’s just good that the children are back!
After tidying herself up a bit, Qi Wangfei first looked at Feng Xuanrui.
After more than a month apart, not only had the young boy not lost weight, but he had also gained a few pounds.
And his face…
It had become even rounder.
Remembering Feng Xuanrui’s previous injury, Qi Wangfei asked with concern, “Does your foot still hurt?”
When Qi Wangfei asked, Feng Xuanrui was initially quite puzzled.
Foot?
Which foot?
Where does it hurt?
Children tend to forget the pain once they heal.
He didn’t even recall his previous injury.
When his mother asked, he thought about it carefully and finally replied, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, it hasn’t hurt for a long time.”
How long has it been since then?
It wasn’t a big issue that it would still hurt now.
Hearing that it didn’t hurt, Qi Wangfei felt somewhat relieved and turned to Physician Liu to ask, “Could there be any lingering effects?”
After Physician Liu reassured her that there were no issues and that he regularly checked on the Sixth Young Master, Qi Wangfei felt at ease.
Considering the hardships and exhaustion the children had endured, Qi Wangfei couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
At least, the children had returned.
Thinking about this, Qi Wangfei turned her gaze to Suisui.
She noticed the little girl casting a timid and nervous glance at her before quickly looking away, not daring to look again. Qi Wangfei’s feelings were complex.
When she first learned that the girl was the daughter of the Marquis of Jinyang, Qi Wangfei had reservations.
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes.
The children of rats know how to dig holes.
Qi Wangfei was truly afraid that from a whole bunch of bad bamboo, no good shoots would come.
But hearing about the experiences of Qings and their party later on…
Suisui’s appearance, first saving the young Sixth Master from falling off a cliff and then unintentionally alerting them to avoid a terrible calamity due to her fever…
Qi Wangfei believed that it was a small blessing from heaven.
She thought that maybe Suisui was a little lucky star sent by heaven.
The Marquis of Jinyang’s family just wasn’t lucky enough, and they happened to benefit from it.
Moreover, since the Marquis of Jinyang’s family had already acknowledged her cousin, even if they found out they made a mistake, they would probably have to grit their teeth and accept it.
After all, acknowledging the wrong child…
Isn’t exactly something to be proud of.
Additionally, Suisui’s household registration had already been canceled, so she was now an unregistered resident.
She could be known as Chen Suisui or Feng Sui Sui.
Who can say for sure?
And who would dare to cause trouble at Qi residence?
The more Qi Wangfei thought about it, the more confident she became.
Perhaps it was Suisui’s life-saving grace to Feng Xuanrui that made her feel compassionate.
She was also a pitiful child!
Thinking of this, Qi Wangfei waved to Suisui, “Suisui, come here, let Mother take a look at you.”
Qi Wangfei thought that she had always hoped for a daughter over the years. Now, she didn’t have to go through childbirth herself, and she had a gentle, soft, and fortunate daughter. Isn’t that wonderful?
The child had a connection with the Sixth Master. Perhaps, it was destined for her to be her daughter.
Qi Wangfei spoke softly and looked at Suisui with affection.
Suisui glanced at Qi Wangfei and then at her brothers.
Feng Xuanrui encouraged Suisui by patting her shoulder, “Go ahead, Sister, that’s our mother. She’s really nice.”
Feng Xuanbin didn’t fully understand the situation but still followed his sixth brother’s lead and encouraged his sister, “Yes, yes, Sister, go over there quickly. Mother is really nice!”
With both brothers encouraging her and Qi Wangfei’s loving gaze, Suisui took a deep breath and took small steps toward her.
What greeted her was the warm embrace of Qi Wangfei, “Suisui, you’ve suffered.”
After the embrace, Qi Wangfei gently lifted the child.
Since Feng Xuanrui had grown up, Qi Wangfei had rarely held children.
Even when Feng Xuanrui was small, she seldom held him.
With so many maids and servants around, there was no need for her to personally hold a child.
During affectionate moments, a simple hug would suffice.
Not having held a child for a long time, Qi Wangfei worried that she might not be able to lift her. She thought that if she couldn’t, she would squat down and hold her for a bit.
In the end, she easily lifted Suisui.
Suisui’s frail and slender form was beyond her expectations.
Thinking about the child’s difficult past and feeling the delicate little bones, Qi Wangfei couldn’t help but have red eyes.
She gently rested her head on Suisui’s shoulder and softly rubbed the little girl’s cheek, “Suisui, just settle down in the palace. From now on, you have Mother and your brothers.”
Thinking of the impracticality of the Prince, Qi Wangfei didn’t mention the father’s role.
The Prince Qi…
Whether he is present or not doesn’t really matter, right?
Qi Wangfei was grateful that although the Prince was straightforward, he understood the situation and wouldn’t ask too many questions.
Otherwise, if someone with a less flexible mind had asked, “What is Prince Qi doing at the villa?” Qi Wangfei wouldn’t even know how to answer.
Saying that the Prince went to the villa to find a master to select a good time and place and then took a concubine to give birth to a daughter?
That would be embarrassing to say!
Qi Wangfei felt that although she also wanted a daughter, she wasn’t as obsessive as the Prince.
He doesn’t just want a daughter, does he?
Isn’t he just fulfilling his own obsession?
Qi Wangfei couldn’t care less and was too lazy to interfere.
As long as it doesn’t affect her and the child’s status and normal life.
As for the Prince…
He can do whatever he wants.
Suisui, nestled in the beautiful aunt’s embrace, inhaled the fragrant scent, feeling as if she were in a dream.
She could hardly believe that this scene was real.
The mother of her brother is so gentle!
Is this the tenderness of a mother?
Suisui didn’t understand.
But she was very fond of this embrace.
And, if the beautiful aunt said she was the mother, did that mean she could also call her mother?
Suisui wasn’t sure. She tentatively tugged at Qi Wangfei’s clothing corner and, with a small, hesitant voice full of disbelief, said, “...Mother?”
