Chapter 181: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 181: Song Bi
Suisui still had a slight reaction to the term "aunt." Hearing that her big aunt couldn't come out due to health issues, she secretly felt relieved.
But soon, she realized that such thoughts were inappropriate. After all, they weren't like that bad aunt from Qingzhou.
Everyone was nice to her and even gave her gifts. She shouldn’t think that way; those thoughts were quite bad, just like how her previous aunt had been.
Thinking of this, Suisui nodded gently, “Okay, Second Aunt, Suisui understands.”
Her obedient and soft demeanor was indeed quite endearing.
The old lady watched for a while and, mimicking Qi Wangfei, reached out to stroke the child's head.
Suisui obediently allowed her to do so, even leaning forward a bit to make it easier for the old lady to reach her.
The old lady was delighted by the affection and began to understand why her daughter liked this child so much.
She was truly lovable, and she had heard that Suisui had a rather pitiful past.
At that moment, besides Song Kuan, there were no other children around.
The old lady worried that Song Kuan might not take good care of Suisui. After a moment of thought, she turned to her aunt beside her and said, “Is Yuan Niang in the back courtyard? Ask someone to bring her over to play with Suisui for a while.”
This was the adult way of saying that there were matters to discuss, and it wasn’t suitable for the child to be present.
However, the old lady wouldn’t just send the child away casually.
In the younger generation of the Song family, there were no legitimate daughters, only two illegitimate ones.
One was the seven-year-old Song Bi, and the other was the five-year-old Song Tong.
Among the two, Song Tong was younger and timid, to the point that the old lady rarely saw her even once a month.
That child hardly ever left the house!
Her biological mother wasn’t one to go out much either.
The old lady didn’t interfere much in daily matters, as the children had learned the necessary etiquette and studied as they should. She wasn’t particularly strict with her offspring.
Now, needing someone to play with Suisui, it was unrealistic to call Song Tong over.
Given her timid nature, it would be unwise to risk frightening her even more.
In contrast, Song Bi was quite lively, albeit a bit headstrong. The old lady did have some concerns, but there was no one else suitable at the moment.
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but wonder: “These children should really have more siblings; otherwise, when the time comes to need someone, there’s no one to choose from.”
Unfortunately, the eldest family’s health wasn’t great, and it was clear they wouldn’t have any more children. The two concubines were also rather docile, and there was no telling if they would even be able to bear children like Yuan Niang and Er Niang.
In comparison, the second wife was in good health and still young. If necessary, she could even take a concubine!
With these thoughts in mind, the old lady cast a faint glance at Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi:?
She completely failed to comprehend the old lady's gaze and pondered it for a while.
At that moment, Song Bi was in the back courtyard reading when her aunt called her over. She was still quite dazed.
On the way, she learned that her grandmother had summoned her to the front courtyard to play with a younger sister.
Her aunt had reminded her many times during the walk, and Song Bi obediently replied, “Aunt, don’t worry, I will definitely play well with my sister.”
Song Bi thought to herself: "Younger sisters are much better than brothers."
She loved playing with girls.
Girls smelled nice, which was her favorite!
Song Bi indeed enjoyed playing with girls, and she often felt disdain for the boys in the family.
Especially Suisui, with her bright eyes and shallow dimples; Song Bi liked her the moment she saw her!
After greeting the elders and receiving her grandmother’s permission, Song Bi friendly took Suisui’s hand and led her away.
Since Song Kuan, her familiar brother, was also there, Suisui felt reluctant to part with her mother but obediently followed along.
Song Bi and Song Kuan each took one of Suisui’s hands.
After stepping outside, although there were still servants following, Song Bi obviously relaxed a bit and cheerfully said, “Second Brother, why don’t I hold the little sister? You can check if the pond is cool; I want to take the little sister to see the fish.”
Song Kuan knew that the older sister didn’t like playing with them young masters.
Now, sending him away meant she wanted to monopolize Suisui.
Song Kuan was reluctant, but as Song Bi held Suisui’s hand and looked at him, he couldn’t help but feel pressured.
Suisui didn’t understand Song Bi’s intentions; she tilted her head to look at him.
Song Kuan sighed helplessly and finally said, “I’ll go.”
Hearing him agree, Song Bi immediately chimed in sweetly, “Thank you, Second Brother! I knew you were the best!”
Suisui thought that her Brother Kuan was helping them, so she mimicked her sister and said sweetly, “Thank you, Second Brother, you’re the best!”
While Song Bi’s gratitude was somewhat insincere, Suisui’s came across as much more genuine.
Especially with her round, sparkling eyes, she seemed utterly sincere.
If Song Kuan had any lingering unwillingness, it vanished when he met Suisui’s gaze.
He thought… it’s just looking at a pond; he could even go to the moon for her right now!
He was capable!
Song Kuan quickly strode away, leaving the two little girls behind.
Song Bi held onto Suisui’s small hand tightly, leaning closer as she sweetly asked, “Sister, can I hold you for a moment?”
Though Suisui didn’t understand why her sister suddenly wanted to hold her, she didn’t refuse and obediently opened her arms, saying, “Sister, I’m a bit heavy.”
Upon hearing Suisui’s agreement, Song Bi’s eyes lit up as she quickly shook her head, “Don’t worry, Sister is strong and not afraid!”
Saying this, she hurried forward two steps and directly lifted Suisui into her arms.
If Song Bi were older, she would have liked to carry Suisui in a princess style, but unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.
For now, she could only awkwardly hold her upright, which she couldn’t maintain for too long.
At this moment, Song Bi gained a clear understanding of her physical strength.
She thought, “I need to train more in the future!”
Otherwise, it’s exhausting just to hold a beautiful little sister!
As she held the lovely sister, Song Bi slowly nestled into Suisui’s neck, gently sniffing, “Hmm, you smell so good!”
A few strands of Song Bi’s hair fell on Suisui’s neck, making her feel a bit ticklish. Suisui shrank her neck and, mimicking Song Bi, leaned closer to her chin, sniffing a few times before softly saying, “Sister also smells very nice.”
When Song Kuan returned, he saw the two little girls sniffing each other like they were sniffing a bone.
Looking at this scene, Song Kuan felt his scalp tingle and couldn’t help but shout, “Song Bi, don’t lead my sister astray!”
