Chapter 300: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 300: The Adults Are So Harsh!
In Madam Lu’s courtyard, no one cared for Concubine He.
When Aunt Lin noticed the mention of her name, she nodded gently. “I heard that she couldn’t withstand it and fainted. A Physician has already been called, and she was carried out of the Buddhist hall.”
Though she wasn’t favored, Concubine He still held some weight in Young Master Lu’s heart from her earlier years.
Madam Lu, being experienced with the ways of the inner chambers, knew that if they simply let her die, the “beautiful filter” of her passing would remain in Young Master Lu’s heart forever.
Some people, alive, are more useful than dead.
This was a truth understood by everyone in Madam Lu’s courtyard.
So, despite knowing that Concubine He had fainted, whether it was genuine or feigned, they still called a Physician and took care of her with meticulous attention.
The methods of torment remained, but the way they soothed her was also complete and thorough.
They played the game perfectly, without a single flaw for others to pick at.
Madam Lu nodded lightly after hearing this and quickly asked, “What about the young master of the Wei family?”
Aunt Lin quickly responded, “After noon, His Highness arranged for someone to send him back to the marquis’s residence, along with Miss Wei.”
Worried that Madam Lu might still be concerned, Aunt Lin added, “It was one of His Highness’s most trusted maids, Aunt Yu, who personally escorted them back.”
Aunt Yu was one of the two most trusted maids of the Grand Princess.
Sometimes, a trusted servant represents the noble they serve.
Anyone with a brain in the Wei household would understand what this meant.
If the Grand Princess were displeased, the Wei family would probably be in trouble, though they wouldn’t dare to show it.
Madam Lu laughed when she heard this. “The arrangements made by mother are always the best. However, we mustn’t relax. Let’s keep an eye on things and make sure nothing happens. If anything goes wrong over there and we don’t know about it, the Wei family might make trouble for us…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but her tone carried a hint of mockery.
Aunt Lin immediately understood and responded, “Understood, Madam.”
Meanwhile, Suisui was sitting on her father’s lap, recounting the amusing events of the day. “Second Brother is Fourth Uncle, Third Brother is Seventh Uncle. Father, should I call him Second Brother, or Fourth Brother? Should I call him Third Brother, or Seventh Brother?”
She was trying to make sense of the complicated family tree, but it was a little beyond her understanding.
She had heard this earlier and only half-understood, but now, she couldn’t quite grasp it.
Since Suisui mentioned Feng Youtan and the others, Prince Qi knew who she was talking about. After a moment of thought, he lowered his head to ask her, “So, my little one, what do you want to call them?”
Suisui tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t know. I think I should call them whatever my brothers prefer. They have to be okay with it, too.”
Children are always considerate, often thinking of others before themselves.
Prince Qi thought to himself, This won’t do!
His daughter should be a little spoiled, what’s wrong with that?
His family could afford to indulge her.
If necessary, he would go to the palace and cry for help. He couldn’t believe his older brother wouldn’t support him.
With these thoughts, Prince Qi reached out and gently tapped Suisui’s head. “Sweetheart, you don’t need to worry about others. You can call them however you want. What they think is their problem. Your happiness is what matters most. Your father doesn’t care about anyone else; I only care about you.”
Qi Wangfei: …
Oh no, the child is going to be spoiled.
But, then again, their princess was indeed worthy of such indulgence.
What would others say?
Come at me if you don't like it!
Qi Wangfei hesitated for just a second before she joined her husband in indulging their daughter. “Let’s prioritize Suisui’s preferences. What others like doesn’t matter.”
Feng Xuanrui: ?
This doesn't sound right.
Mother, you didn’t teach me this way before!
Feng Xuanrui furrowed his cute little brows, lost in thought.
He couldn’t help but begin to question life.
This wasn’t right.
Things weren’t like this before.
Why was it different when it came to my sister?
But after thinking carefully, Feng Xuanrui realized his father’s words were annoyingly reasonable.
Do others’ opinions matter?
Looking at his adorable little sister, tilting her head cutely, Feng Xuanrui couldn’t help but shake his head internally: Not important, not important.
Sister is the most important.
What about the others?
Don’t need to care!
With these thoughts, Feng Xuanrui gently patted Suisui’s small face. “Sister, don’t worry about others. Just follow your brother, and call them whatever your brother calls them.”
Hearing this, Suisui’s bright, round eyes lit up. She nodded enthusiastically. “Sister Yoyo said the same thing!”
When Suisui mentioned Feng Youtan, Feng Xuanrui made a displeased face and pouted. “Don’t listen to that little madwoman Feng Youtan. She’s not right in the head. We don’t play with her.”
Suisui: ?
Suisui looked confused, first at her brother, then at her father and mother. She thought to herself, Sister Yoyo looks normal, though.
Sure, sometimes she looks all angry, like a little piglet, but she’s not a bad person.
She just gets a little scary when she’s throwing a tantrum.
But sister Qiao Qiao said that since she’s a princess, throwing tantrums is normal.
Suisui, with a confused look, glanced around, and Prince Qi’s heart softened a bit.
Feng Youtan’s temperament wasn’t great, and her foster mother, Consort He, was similarly arrogant.
It was to be expected that Feng Youtan’s nature wouldn’t be the best.
However, when the emperor’s older brother had her raised in Consort He’s palace, it was clear that this child, as long as she didn’t make a fatal mistake, would be indulged despite her spoiling.
Suisui was still young, with a soft temperament, and Prince Qi worried that she might get bullied if she played with Feng Youtan.
But thinking about it, since Feng Youtan rarely had the chance to leave the palace, the opportunity to play together wouldn’t come often. Prince Qi nodded gently. “Xiao Liu, be careful with your words. No matter what, she’s still your sister.”
When Feng Xuanrui heard this, he exploded. “I don’t want a sister like that!”
She even pulled a little chunk of my hair last time! It hurt for days.
Who has a sister who pulls their brother’s hair like that without mercy? She nearly ripped all my hair out!
Qi Wangfei remembered this incident.
When she heard Xiao Liu mention it, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
Meeting Feng Xuanrui’s accusing gaze, Qi Wangfei quickly became serious and adjusted her hair as if nothing had happened.
She was very busy, not laughing, really, not laughing.
Oh no, I’m going to burst out laughing!
But I can’t laugh.
If I laugh, Xiao Liu will get mad again.
Although, it’s cute when children get angry.
But if they keep getting mad, you have to coax them.
Qi Wangfei worked hard to suppress her expression.
Feng Xuanrui suspiciously stared at his mother for a while, then turned away, grumbling under his breath.
Prince Qi, influenced by Suisui’s previous comment, couldn’t help but mumble when he heard Feng Xuanrui’s voice: “It’s like a little piglet.”
Feng Xuanrui: ???
The look of accusation from the young boy landed in a split second. Prince Qi was choked by this look and thought for a moment before he shifted his words. “...Actually, it’s kind of cute.”
Feng Xuanrui: ...
Hmph!
I’m not talking to you guys anymore.
You adults are so harsh!
