Chapter 91: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 91: Isn't Feng Xuanrui Paralyzed?**
These little girls all have mothers who are concubines.
So, the methods used to raise them are rather plain and simple.
Find a good man to marry, or be taken as a concubine to a noble—either way is fine.
Just don’t end up like their mothers, being looked down upon as lowly concubines!
Xu Yueying's mother had long discussed the status of eligible young men in the capital with her. When Xu Yueyao asked, she started chattering excitedly.
Xu Yueyao initially worried about how to bring up the Sixth Prince of the Prince Qi’s residence.
But luck was on her side.
Ignoring the other's infatuation, Xu Yueyao continued her subtle probing: “Is the Sixth Prince particularly special?”
Hearing this, Xu Yueying looked even prouder and said loudly, “He is the legitimate son of the Prince Qi’s residence, someone we could never reach!”
Even though they had been recognized back into the household due to the old madam, their status was still lower than that of a legitimate daughter.
They couldn’t aspire to even be a concubine, let alone a legitimate son of the Prince Qi’s residence.
But who says one can’t dream?
Xu Yueyao listened, thinking: What does it matter whether he’s paralyzed or not?
She couldn’t say this out loud.
Xu Yuexiu, who had spoken first, lightly patted Xu Yueying’s shoulder: “Even if we can’t reach him, we can still take a look. I heard that the young masters come here for archery lessons in the afternoon. We could sneak over and watch.”
Xu Yueying’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. She squeezed closer to Xu Yuexiu: “How did you know?”
Xu Yuexiu raised her chin proudly: “My mother told me when she visited last night. She said the Sixth Prince returned from the south recently, and the brothers of the Prince Qi’s residence would definitely come here to celebrate and enjoy the open space.”
Xu Yueyao felt something was off.
She remembered clearly that the Sixth Prince of the Prince Qi’s residence was paralyzed.
Due to the sensitive nature of royal affairs, many people avoided discussing it.
She only learned about it through extensive inquiries: The Sixth Prince had been injured in a landslide during his return journey from the south with Prince Qing, resulting in the loss of the use of his legs.
Because of this, relations between the Qing and Qi Residence had deteriorated drastically, reaching an all-time low.
Xu Yueyao had even once maliciously wished that Yueyue had perished in the landslide as well.
Now, the timing matched, but according to Xu Yuexiu, the Sixth Prince wasn’t paralyzed?
It didn’t make sense.
Xu Yueyao was startled and felt a chill run down her spine, her face turning pale.
Xu Yueying, noticing her reaction, laughed heartily: “Ah, Xu Yueyao, you’re so timid. Just going out to take a look has scared you like this?”
“Indeed, coming from the village, you’re just not used to the big city.”
…
The relationships between the sisters were never genuine.
When they were friendly, they would huddle together and gossip.
But when things turned sour, they were quick to disdain one another.
The arrival of the governess provided Xu Yueyao a timely escape from the awkwardness.
She nervously glanced around.
By now, the luxurious carriage was no longer visible on the road.
The events of this life had deviated from her past memories.
This made Xu Yueyao deeply uneasy.
She clenched her fists and quietly followed the other girls to their lessons.
On the other side, Suisui had successfully arrived at the estate.
After disembarking from the carriage, Qi Wangfei first removed her cloak.
The cloak was too large for Suisui, who could easily trip over it while walking.
After checking that Suisui wasn’t cold, Qi Wangfei took it off.
Today’s visit was mainly to arrange a few potted plants.
Suisui, feeling concerned, kept a close eye on them.
“Is this temperature okay?”
“Will they grow long?”
“Will they bloom?”
“When they grow tall, should they be moved to the ground?”
“Do they need watering?”
…
They weren’t sure what these plants were.
They had already been planted, so it was inconvenient to dig them up for research.
Moreover, there are so many varieties of plants in the world.
Just because they hadn’t seen them didn’t mean they didn’t exist.
So, they could only provide vague answers.
Seeing their uncertainty, Suisui was still somewhat uneasy.
Lele had said these were good plants.
She needed to take good care of them!
Remembering Lele, Suisui quietly asked: **[Lele, can these grow big?]**
**[Of course, Sui Sui. Just take good care of them.]**
**[They’re very easy to grow. Don’t worry; the current temperature is enough. When the seedlings grow and you move them to the ground, in two to three months, you can harvest them.]**
**[But, their fruit grows underground. Be extra careful when digging them up!]**
Underground fruit?
Suisui knew about this.
She happily said: **[I know, I know. Just like peanuts, right?]**
The system agreed: **[Yes, that’s right, Sui Sui.]**
Knowing that they would grow and bear fruit, Suisui felt much more at ease.
The temperature in the greenhouse was still high, and Sui Sui began to sweat after a while.
She obediently stepped outside, staying close to her mother, and took in the vast estate.
Noticing her curiosity, Qi Wangfei took her hand and gently introduced her surroundings.
“That area is farmland. Further back is the orchard, where many fruits will grow in the summer. I’ll bring you to taste them then.”
“Over there are autumn fruits, which ripen later than summer fruits but are a perfect follow-up.”
“And over there, we keep a lot of cattle and sheep.”
“By the way, yesterday, there were many new lambs born. I’ll take you to see them.”
…
When mentioning the birth of the cattle and sheep, Qi Wangfei recalled the report from the steward earlier.
Having never seen them in person, she felt a sense of unreality.
Now that they were here, she thought it would be best to take Sui Sui to see them.
The steward, who had already arrived, respectfully led the way.
When he heard that the princess wanted to see the newborn animals, he became enthusiastic: “You’ll see for yourself, Princess. The little ones are full of energy, especially the piglets—they’re so eager for milk!”
At this point, the steward felt the subject was somewhat crude.
He paused and refrained from going into further details, briefly mentioning the sheep and cattle.
The livestock area was somewhat distant, closer to the orchard.
Due to the strong odors, it needed to be located farther away, especially from the water source.
As they approached, they could see a few lambs meandering about, looking quite relaxed.
The steward exclaimed: “Those are the lambs born yesterday. There are fourteen of them!”
