▶▶ Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl

Chapter 1017: More Than a Dozen Rooms

Lu Da Song had no choice but to put the things they bought behind the counter, inform the old lady, and then leave with Li Shi.

In fact, he was also surprised because he didn't know about Third brother's plan to buy a house.

When it came to things like houses and cars, very few men could completely ignore them and not be curious.

Lu Dasong also felt a strong desire to take a look. So when Li Shi mentioned it, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow along.

However, they were on foot while Shu Yu and the others were on a mule cart. By the time they arrived at the place Liang Shi mentioned, Shu Yu's group had already arrived.

This place was not in the same location as the alley where she rented a house. The environment here was slightly better, and it was separated from the original rental house by a street.

The house that Liang Shi had her eye on was located in the middle of the alley. At the entrance of the house, under the eaves, stood the middleman who had shown the house to Liang Shi.

The weather was hot, and the middleman fanned himself impatiently while occasionally glancing towards the street.

When he saw the mule cart, he didn't pay much attention. It was only when the mule cart stopped in front of him that he paused.

Liang Shi got off the mule cart, and the middleman's eyes lit up. Oh, she took a ride in a mule cart when she left, and now she's back on a mule cart?

This deal has potential.

The middleman stepped forward, smiling, and asked, "Sister Lu, you've arrived. Just now, another family came to see the house and said they needed to raise money."

Liang Shi's eyebrows twitched, and she felt a moment of panic.

But Shu Yu had just told her not to appear too anxious. Otherwise, the price wouldn't be easy to negotiate.

Liang Shi knew this reasoning, but when the house she had set her sights on was snatched away by someone else, she panicked.

Now that Shu Yu was by her side, Liang Shi no longer felt anxious.

She smiled at the middleman and said, "Let them raise the money. The price of this house isn't low, and raising the money won't be easy."

The middleman... This attitude was a bit difficult to handle.

He could only force a smile and then saw several more people getting off the mule cart. However, they were all young.

The middleman was puzzled. Didn't Liang Shi say she was going back to discuss with her husband?

Shu Yu glanced at the house in front of her. It looked good from the outside. It seemed to have been recently renovated in the past two years, but she didn't know what it looked like inside.

Liang Shi said to the middleman, "Open the door quickly. Let's go inside and have a look. If it's suitable, we'll buy it. If not, we'll continue looking."

The middleman didn't understand, but they were customers, so he dutifully opened the door.

Lan Hua and Er Niu curiously peeked inside. When Shu Yu entered, they quickly followed.

"Wow, this house is huge."

In the county, unless it was a second or third courtyard, most houses couldn't compare to the size of village houses.

But compared to other houses in the county, this house was indeed quite large.

Lan Hua and Er Niu had seen the house in the Lu Family's second courtyard that they had rented in Liufang Alley. Whether it was the living area or the tailoring workshop, they couldn't compare to the large courtyard in front of them.

Shu Yu was also surprised. This house was only considered a single courtyard, but it had a row of back houses. There were five rooms in this row alone.

Including the main house, side rooms, east and west wing rooms, as well as the kitchen, thatched rooms, and firewood storage, there were more than a dozen rooms in total. To their surprise, there was even a small courtyard at the back with a small well.

No wonder Liang Shi immediately set her sights on this house and hurriedly came to borrow money, afraid that it would be snatched away by someone else.

▶▶Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked me? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

**Chapter 23: Weaving Beautiful Dreams for You**

Upon hearing the system's reminder, Suisui glanced at her brother.

Feng Xuanrui was already asleep, but due to his fever, his sleep was restless.

Suisui gently held her brother's hand, wishing to give him more strength, while she softly replied to the system.

**[Okay, Lele.]**

She intended to listen to the story carefully and then tell it to her brother!

The system nervously selected today’s bedtime storyteller.

Soon, a young and beautiful lady appeared in Suisui’s mind.

She had a name.

**[Wang Zhenyi]**

Unfortunately, Suisui couldn’t read.

She looked at the elegant and beautiful lady and sweetly greeted her, “Hello, Auntie.”

Wang Zhenyi, still thinking about the system’s perks, looked down upon hearing the childish voice and saw a cute little bald head. She couldn’t help but smile warmly, “Hello, Suisui. I’m Auntie Deqing.”

Suisui greeted back politely, “Hello, Auntie Deqing.”

Such a well-behaved child.

Wang Zhenyi reached out and lightly patted Suisui’s head before beginning to narrate the vast universe and magnificent starry sky.

This was a world even more unfamiliar to Suisui, so unfamiliar that she didn’t understand many of the words Auntie Deqing used.

Nevertheless, Suisui listened attentively and gradually became enchanted.

As she listened, Suisui began to feel sleepy.

Reluctant to miss the story and worried about her brother, she just sat there, nodding off repeatedly.

Physician Liu, observing the situation, couldn’t help but smile.

He attempted to separate the hands of the two children.

However, as soon as he moved, Suisui instinctively tightened her grip on Feng Xuanrui’s hand.

Feng Xuanrui also felt uncomfortable and, in his sleep, grumbled a bit while gripping Suisui’s hand tighter.

Physician Liu sighed, “Alright, I’m the bad guy here!”

Unable to separate the two children, he had no choice but to let them squeeze together for the night.

Diao Jiao quickly fetched a blanket and covered Suisui, trying to arrange them on the bed to minimize any disturbance between them.

In Suisui’s dream, Auntie Deqing looked at her sweet sleeping face and lightly pointed in her direction.

**[I bring the romantic starry sky, weaving beautiful dreams for you.]**

**[Suisui, good night.]**

The next morning, Suisui woke up…

Not from needing to urinate.

But from…

Feng Xuanrui’s leg sprawled across her!

Though Feng Xuanrui was young, his legs were quite thick!

The pressure nearly squeezed the air out of Suisui!

When Qingshan opened his eyes after a brief nap, he saw his young master’s leg firmly across Suisui.

Qingshan hurriedly got up to adjust his young master’s sleeping position and saw Suisui struggling to crawl out from under Feng Xuanrui’s leg.

Once she was free, Suisui gasped for breath, her complexion improving.

Qingshan was startled and asked worriedly, “Suisui, are you okay? Do you need water?”

Mentioning water made Suisui feel the urge to urinate.

She shyly shook her head, pointed to the outside lavatory, quickly put on her clothes, and ran out.

Qingshan was stunned by the girl’s swift reaction, then quickly called out, “Shoes, shoes!”

Suisui was not used to wearing shoes, as she had none before.

Reminded by Qingshan, Suisui awkwardly ran back, put on her shoes, and hurried out again.

As Physician Liu entered, he felt a gust of air brushing past him.

He glanced in the direction Suisui ran and understood the situation.

Shaking his head and smiling, Physician Liu entered the room, asked Qingshan about the situation, and checked Feng Xuanrui’s temperature.

Physician Liu’s slightly cool hand roused Feng Xuanrui from sleep.

The boy sat up abruptly, looking bewildered and squinting, his first words being, “Where’s my sister? Where’s my sister?”

Physician Liu took his arm to check his pulse while reassuring him, “Don’t worry, she’s fine.”

Feng Xuanrui rubbed his face with his free hand, glanced around, and then slowly turned back to his bed with a thud, noticing the intact river lantern.

Physician Liu realized he hadn’t fully woken up yet.

After Suisui returned, she was taken by Diao Jiao to wash up and receive medication before coming back to see Feng Xuanrui.

Feng Xuanrui’s fever had subsided, but he still needed to be monitored for the day to avoid any recurrence.

Once he had rested well, Feng Xuanrui was full of energy.

After breakfast, he began to fidget, “Where’s Uncle Qing Wang? How about Uncle Zhanyuan? Are they still busy? Let’s go release the lanterns tonight!”

Uncle Qing Wang was very busy.

He had come back briefly the previous night to check on things before heading out again and hadn’t returned since.

The resolution of the bandit issue and related matters still required his decision.

Additionally, maintaining law and order within the city of Qingzhou also needed his assistance alongside Governor Sun.

Seeing Feng Xuanrui’s inquiries, Physician Liu couldn’t elaborate and simply shook his head, “His Highness is very busy and likely won’t be able to make it.”

He added some final advice, “The city will probably be chaotic for the next few days. Stay indoors and play in the courtyard.”

Feng Xuanrui pouted, clearly unhappy.

Although disappointed he couldn’t release the lanterns or take his sister to see the excitement, he knew official duties were important.

No lanterns? No lively outings? Feng Xuanrui was still determined to make the best of it!

Chapter 22: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

▶▶Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked me? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

**Chapter 22: My Brother is Not Cute!**

The two children chatted for a while, and Physician Liu advised Feng Xuanrui to rest, “The fever has just subsided, and we don’t know if it will return. You should lie down and rest more to recover your strength quickly.”

Even if Feng Xuanrui wanted to release the lanterns, he needed to wait until he was fully recovered.

Suisui also realized that her brother was still unwell.

Recalling the discomfort she felt when she was sick, Suisui hurriedly pushed Feng Xuanrui back to bed, saying, “Brother, go lie down quickly. Once you’re better, we can go together.”

Not wanting her brother to worry about her, Suisui softly added, “Brother, I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you.”

Hearing that his sister wouldn’t leave, Feng Xuanrui happily returned to bed, making extra room by scooting over and patting the bed, “Sister, come up. Let’s be together.”

Seeing this, Qingshan’s face darkened, and he quickly intervened, “Young Master, that’s not appropriate!”

Even though Suisui was still young, you, young master, are ten years old now. It’s not suitable for you to sleep with your sister anymore!

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuanrui’s expression fell, clearly unhappy, “I want to. Don’t interfere!”

Qingshan dared not speak further and instead looked to Physician Liu for help.

Physician Liu, smiling, said, “They’re just children.”

This implied he had no objection.

Physician Liu’s stance was also due to several considerations. One was the more relaxed attitude towards such matters in the Great Xia Dynasty, where it wouldn't be a big issue. Another was that Suisui was still young, so it was unnecessary to make a fuss about it and affect their sibling relationship.

Physician Liu’s words made Feng Xuanrui happy again, and he proudly said, “When we return to the capital, there will be rewards for everyone.”

Before he could bask in his triumph, he flopped back onto the bed with a thud.

Suisui, about to sit by the bed, was startled when she saw her brother like this. Her face turned pale, and she opened her mouth, trembling, “Brother, what’s wrong?”

Feng Xuanrui lay still, his voice much weaker, “I have no strength.”

Hearing this, Physician Liu quickly checked his temperature.

The fever had returned. Children’s temperatures during illness were unpredictable and could greatly affect their mental state.

Seeing Feng Xuanrui’s condition, Physician Liu realized it wasn’t good.

Since Feng Xuanrui had already taken medicine, he couldn't be given more in a short time unless the situation was critical. For now, physical cooling was the only option.

Suisui, still worried, helped out.

Though Qingshan, Qingshui, and the others were present, Suisui’s concern made Physician Liu allow her to stay by the bed.

Suisui sat quietly by the bed, occasionally holding Feng Xuanrui’s hand to feel his temperature.

She was anxious because she remembered two children from her village who had died from high fevers during the winter.

Suisui was scared her brother might be the same.

Feeling Suisui’s trembling hand, Feng Xuanrui turned his head and smiled at Suisui, “Sister, don’t be afraid. It’s just a small problem. It’ll be fine soon!”

Though his words were weak, Suisui’s heart ached, and her eyes reddened.

Seeing Suisui’s teary eyes made Feng Xuanrui feel even worse.

The rising fever made him uncomfortable, and his own eyes started to redden.

The two children held hands, their eyes red, each holding back tears.

Physician Liu observed them, feeling both heartbroken and amused.

He thought: If either of these children started crying, the other would definitely follow!

Fortunately, they both remained stoic, which made Physician Liu secretly sigh in relief.

Feng Xuanrui, with a cold cloth on his forehead, couldn’t turn to look at Suisui.

Without eye contact, their emotions calmed down a bit.

Suisui, still worried, asked the system softly, **[Will Brother be okay?]**

Medical conditions in ancient times were uncertain.

But the system couldn’t be honest.

**[Don’t worry, Suisui!]**

**[Suisui still needs to tell Brother a bedtime story!]**

Remembering the bedtime story, Suisui nodded obediently and whispered to Feng Xuanrui, “Brother, can I tell you a bedtime story?”

Even though young master Feng Xuanrui had never enjoyed bedtime stories, he was now a bit confused, “Huh? A bedtime story? What’s that?”

Suisui wasn’t entirely sure either. She hesitated, saying, “I don’t really know. It’s just something like a pit filled with forty thousand kids.”

A pit filled with forty thousand kids? Why?

How big a pit is needed to fit that many?

Feng Xuanrui didn’t understand and directly asked Suisui.

But Suisui didn’t know either!

She had heard it in confusion and thought that Uncle Qi was amazing!

The two children continued to whisper, while the adults busied themselves and didn’t pay much attention.

Their main concern was Feng Xuanrui’s recurring fever.

After Physician Liu checked his pulse, he nodded to Diao Jiao, “Wait another half hour, follow the new prescription, and make three bowls of water into one bowl of medicine.”

Diao Jiao nodded and quickly helped Qingshan change to a new cloth.

The two children didn’t reach a conclusion on the pit filled with children.

Suisui, confused, then brought up “rescuing brothers.”

She had mixed up what Uncle Dongpo said: “If you make a mistake, write a letter to your brother to make amends.”

She remembered it as “rescuing brothers.”

Upon hearing “brother,” Feng Xuanrui immediately rolled his eyes, “Sister, let me tell you, brothers are not good!”

“Brothers are bad. We don’t play with brothers, okay!”

“My brother is a nuisance, a fart machine!”

...

Suisui, a bit confused, thought of her cousin at her uncle’s house and agreed with her brother, “Yes, a nuisance, a fart machine!”

Seeing his sister on his side, Feng Xuanrui proudly bobbed his head but was soon held back by Qingshan, “Cloth, cloth, young master!”

Feng Xuanrui reluctantly lay back down, still mumbling.

He mainly talked about how brothers were not cute at all.

How could they compare to his sister?

“Sister may be a little bald, but she’s cute.”

▶▶Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked me? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

**Chapter 21: I Also Made a Lantern for My Brother**

Listening to Suisui's cautious yet hopeful tone, Physician Liu smiled affectionately and said, “Of course, your brother will definitely be very happy to see it.”

Suisui couldn't help but feel excited upon hearing Physician Liu's words. “Really?”

Physician Liu patted her shiny little head and responded with a smile, “Of course. Come on, Grandpa Liu will take you there.”

Suisui obediently followed Physician Liu.

She had been up and about last night but, being in better health, she didn't develop a fever.

The spot on her head that was previously injured had scabbed over, and now it no longer needed bandaging. She just needed to apply medicine daily to avoid scarring.

As for other scars on the child's body...

Physician Liu was already contemplating the prescription his master had given him. He hoped to prepare the ointment with sufficient medicinal ingredients after returning to the capital, to apply to the child.

The lantern didn't need to be made from scratch. The steps Suisui needed to follow were quite simple.

She only needed to paste the painted design onto the prepared bamboo lantern.

During the process, attention had to be paid to handling the edges, such as the border and creases.

To make it look nicer, it was essential to handle the glue properly and avoid spreading it everywhere.

The lantern that Feng Xuanrui made for Suisui previously, though not perfect, had its glue handling well done, with almost no visible edges.

Suisui, being young and inexperienced with such detailed work, wasn't sure if she could achieve that level.

But she would try her best!

Physician Liu had previously explained the details to Suisui. Now, with a bit of recollection and guidance from the system, and occasional assistance from Physician Liu, Suisui gradually understood.

The little girl worked slowly but meticulously, seemingly hoping that her careful work would make the final result satisfying.

She repeatedly checked every edge and corner before applying glue.

Physician Liu watched on, his eyes shining with admiration: What a wonderful child!

Good focus and patience—she's definitely a good candidate for learning medicine.

He thought it was unacceptable to not bring her back to his house.

No, he had to make an effort to bring this child home!

Suisui was unaware of Physician Liu’s intention to adopt her as his granddaughter. She was earnestly working on the lantern, being cautious with every step.

She thought if she worked carefully, maybe the heavens would hear her prayer and her brother would get better soon.

Suisui, being small and slow, took a whole day to complete the lantern.

A few times, her fingers were scratched by the edges of the bamboo lantern. Suisui endured the pain, sucked on her fingers to stop the bleeding, and continued.

By evening, the lantern was finally done and dry, ready to be handled.

Looking at the pretty pink bunny lantern, Suisui nervously asked Physician Liu, “Grandpa Liu, is this okay?”

Physician Liu carefully examined the lantern before smiling and nodding, “Very good, Suisui. You did a great job.”

Suisui blushed with happiness at Physician Liu’s praise.

She held the freshly made lantern and went with Physician Liu to see Feng Xuanrui.

In the afternoon, Feng Xuanrui had been burning up repeatedly.

By evening, the fever had subsided, and he was in good spirits.

When Suisui and Physician Liu entered, Feng Xuanrui was bargaining with the doctor about whether he should take medicine tonight.

Hearing his strong voice, Physician Liu finally felt relieved.

Feng Xuanrui had been triumphant, proudly showing off, but when he saw Physician Liu, his smug expression instantly disappeared.

However, upon seeing Suisui, he joyfully jumped out of bed, running over without his shoes on, and happily exclaimed, “Sister!”

Qingshan quickly followed, helping him put on his shoes and outer robe, before finally feeling at ease.

Suisui, excitedly presenting the lantern she had worked on all day, said with bright eyes and an eager voice, “Brother, this is the lantern I made for you!”

Remembering the auspicious words the system taught her, Suisui quickly added, “May the heavens bless my brother and keep him safe.”

Suisui had not mastered complex auspicious phrases, so the system had taught her the simplest ones.

Feng Xuanrui was surprised that Suisui made a lantern for him.

Although the pink bunny didn't quite match his heroic image, it didn't matter.

What mattered was that this was made by his sister, something others didn't have!

He happily and contentedly hugged the lantern as if afraid someone would take it from him, then pulled Suisui back to the bed, carefully placing the lantern on the side of the bed.

The onlookers: ...!

They hadn't said they wanted to take it!

Well, considering how lively he was, he should be feeling better, right?

Everyone sighed in relief.

Suisui, unaware of the adults' thoughts, softly boasted to Feng Xuanrui about how quickly and well she made the lantern!

She seemed to know that even if her work wasn't perfect, her brother would never laugh at her.

Her brother would be gentle, encourage her, and praise her.

Listening to Suisui talk about the lantern-making details and thinking about the injuries he had when he made his own lantern, Feng Xuanrui, with tears in his eyes, looked at Suisui’s hands.

His eyes turned red upon seeing the old scars on her small hands.

A tear fell onto Suisui’s hand, startling her.

Suisui, not understanding, thought her brother might be feeling unwell and gently blew on his hand, saying, “Suisui will blow for Brother, and Brother won’t hurt!”

Feng Xuanrui, feeling anger towards Chen Dalang’s family, wiped his tears and forced a smile, saying, “Mm, with my sister here, it doesn’t hurt.”

With a smiling face, Feng Xuanrui’s heart was cursing: Damn it, they should have been sent to the southwest to quarry stones, it would have exhausted them!

Not wanting his sister to remember past sorrows, Feng Xuanrui wiped away his tears and began discussing the lantern release with Suisui.

Previously, people released lanterns in the city because a wealthy family’s daughter was celebrating her birthday, and many young ladies went to join.

Suisui, who was sick and couldn’t attend, heard later that it was quite a lively event.

Feng Xuanrui didn’t want Suisui to have regrets, so he was considering that if it was just him and Suisui, it wouldn’t be enough.

So, Physician Liu and the others needed to go too.

Including Uncle Qingwang and the guards, it should be lively enough, right?

However...

How to persuade Uncle Qingwang to agree?

What other people’s brothers have, my brother must have too.

▶▶Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked me? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

**Chapter 20: Wanting to Be Sick Instead of Brother**

After Prince Qing and Physician Liu returned, they carefully cleaned up the two children and sent them to bed.

The adults tidied up briefly and had the servants clean up the disheveled inn.

Prince Qing still needed to handle the matter of the mountain bandits, so he couldn't sleep just yet.

Physician Liu had to keep an eye on the two children, worried that they might catch a chill and develop a fever.

In short, while the two children slept soundly, the others couldn't rest for the time being.

The prefect magistrate of Qingzhou, upon hearing the news, scrambled out of bed in the middle of the night and hurried over on horseback to inquire about the situation.

prefect magistrate Sun wasn’t incompetent, but he had no way of dealing with the rampant mountain bandits, so he had reported the matter to the imperial court.

Prince Qing would handle these issues, so Physician Liu didn’t need to worry.

What concerned him now was the possibility of the two children falling ill.

Whether from shock or a cold, it was all too easy for them to get sick.

So, he repeatedly instructed Diao and Dihua, "Be sure to keep an eye on them, and check their foreheads from time to time."

By the time they finished, the sky was almost light.

When everything finally settled down, dawn had already broken.

Physician Liu got up and stretched his old limbs, ready to rest for a bit when Dihua suddenly called out urgently, "Master, the Sixth Young Master has developed a fever!"

Hearing this, Physician Liu rushed over, touched Feng Xuanrui's forehead, and confirmed it was indeed hot.

Worried, he also checked Suisui’s forehead and, finding her temperature normal, sighed with relief.

Physician Liu quickly had Qingshan carry Feng Xuanrui back to his room and lay him down on the soft bed. He then ordered Diao to brew some medicine while instructing Dihua to stay by the boy’s side, using wet cloths to help reduce the fever.

Suisui woke up just before noon, still feeling a bit dazed.

Dihua, who was looking after her, smiled and asked, "Suisui, you're awake! Are you hungry?"

When he asked, Suisui instinctively touched her stomach, which indeed felt empty.

However, instead of asking for food, Suisui looked around for her brother and, not seeing him on the small bed, anxiously asked, "Brother Dihua, where’s my brother?"

As Dihua helped her dress, he softly replied, "The Sixth Young Master is sick, and Master is taking care of him."

Upon hearing that Feng Xuanrui was sick, Suisui grew worried and, without putting on her shoes, tried to run off. "I want to see him!"

Dihua, startled, quickly pulled her back. "Oh no, put your shoes on first! If you get sick too, we’ll all be in trouble!"

Suisui understood that she couldn't get sick, couldn’t cause trouble, and couldn’t be a burden.

So, she hastily put on her shoes and ran off to find her brother.

It took her a while, given her small size and short steps, but she finally arrived at Feng Xuanrui’s room.

He had developed a fever in the morning, taken some medicine that brought it down, but it kept coming back throughout the day.

Physician and the others had been exhausted, dealing with the on-and-off fever all morning.

At that moment, Qingshan was helping with the physical cooling, as Feng Xuanrui’s temperature had risen again.

Feng Xuanrui had woken briefly, groaning in discomfort, unable to eat anything.

But not eating made it difficult for Physician Liu to administer medicine, as he feared it would upset the boy’s stomach.

After coaxing and persuading, they finally managed to get him to drink some porridge.

Having already taken medicine in the morning, they couldn’t give him more just yet, so they relied on physical cooling for now.

When Suisui arrived, she saw Feng Xuanrui’s flushed face from the fever.

The young boy was half-awake, groaning in discomfort.

Seeing this, Suisui’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She ran to the side of his bed, tears streaming down her face as she silently stood there, watching her brother.

Physician Liu, busy nearby, quickly reassured her, "It’s nothing serious, just a slight fever. Once he’s taken his medicine and eaten something, he’ll be fine. Don’t worry, Suisui."

Last night, the two children had been in similar condition, and Suisui hadn’t fully recovered from her illness.

But in the end, it was Feng Xuanrui who fell sick.

At first, Physician Liu found it surprising, but after recalling Suisui’s past experiences, he began to understand.

If Suisui’s body wasn’t strong, if her fate wasn’t tough enough, she probably would have died a long time ago.

Thinking of this, he wasn’t sure whether to admire the child or feel sorry for her.

After hearing Physician Liu’s words, Suisui turned her head, tightly pursing her lips to stop herself from crying out loud and scaring her brother.

She held back her tears for a long time before asking in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Liu, is my brother in a lot of pain?"

After asking, she looked down and softly said, "I don’t want my brother to suffer. I wish I could take his place."

Feng Xuanrui, who had just woken up in a daze, immediately objected when he heard this. "How could that be? I’m the big brother; if someone’s going to be in pain, it should be me!"

Hearing her brother’s voice, Suisui’s eyes lit up. She wanted to rush forward but restrained herself, afraid of hurting him, and said excitedly, "Brother! You’re awake?"

Feng Xuanrui, weak from the fever and his injured leg, had little energy. But seeing his sister upset, he mustered the strength to lift his hand and gently touched Suisui’s small, shaved head. "Don’t worry, your brother is as strong as an ox. I’ll be fine!"

The medicine he had taken in the morning was finally starting to take effect.

Feng Xuanrui’s fever gradually subsided, though he still felt weak. Physician Liu checked his pulse carefully and then signaled to Qingshan, "Prepare some porridge for the Sixth Young Master, a warm millet porridge to nourish his stomach."

White rice porridge is slightly cooling, but millet porridge is warm and more nourishing.

Qingshan quickly went to prepare it, while Diao changed the cloth on Feng Xuanrui’s forehead.

Feng Xuanrui, too weak to do much, touched Suisui’s head again before lying back down quietly.

Suisui, still worried, sat obediently beside his bed, her bright, grape-like eyes fixed on her brother, afraid that if she looked away for even a second, he would start suffering again.

Feeling his sister’s gaze, Feng Xuanrui, though exhausted, thought to himself: Having a sister is really nice!

If he were sick back at the manor, his mischievous little brother would only be making trouble like a monkey, not caring about him at all.

After drinking the porridge, Feng Xuanrui drifted back into sleep.

Suisui kept watch for a long time, and when Physician assured her that the fever had subsided and that all she needed to do now was monitor him to prevent a relapse, she finally relaxed.

Children with fevers can have recurring episodes, which can easily harm other parts of the body.

Even though Physician Liu said there was no more danger, Suisui still felt uneasy and wanted to stay by her brother’s side.

But then she remembered her brother had told her that floating river lanterns was for making wishes and bringing blessings, and she wanted to make one for him.

Thinking of this, she looked up and carefully asked Physician Liu, "Grandpa Liu, I want to make a river lantern for my brother. Is that okay?"

Chapter 113: Growing Suspicion - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

By Bbing Translations

Read

Chapter 113: Growing Suspicion

"About a month ago, I went to my mother's room to see my younger brother. As I passed by his courtyard, I saw an old maid sneakily entering his room with a small inconspicuous box. Worried that she might be up to something, I hid in the corridor and watched as she placed the box in a hidden compartment under my brother's bed before quietly leaving."

After hearing this, Feng Jinyao began to grow suspicious.

Feng Yunli was only four years old and barely knew how to read, let alone orchestrate such a thing. It was likely that Concubine Lin was behind it.

"And then? Did you see what was inside the box?"

Feng Yunhe nodded, his expression becoming even more serious.

"It was a few promissory notes, land deeds, and field deeds. I looked closely at the writing. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Concubine Lin had lent money with high interest, and since the borrowers couldn't repay her, they gave her the deeds as collateral."

Hearing this, Feng Jinyao was quite surprised. Although it was common in large households to lend idle money at interest, the Feng family had always been above such practices, likely due to the efficient management by her mother. The Feng family had never been short of money and had no need for such dealings.

But when did Concubine Lin start doing this and how had she hidden it for so long?

"How do you know it was Concubine Lin?"

"The signatures and seals were in someone else's name, but I recognized her handwriting. She once pretentiously gave my mother a handwritten copy of the 'Heart Sutra,' which I had seen."

Lending money under an alias, Concubine Lin was truly audacious, thinking she had someone to take the fall if things went wrong.

"Why didn't you tell your sister-in-law about this?"

If Madam Wen had known about this, there wouldn't have been any secrets. The only possibility was that Feng Yunhe hadn't told anyone.

Feng Yunhe fell silent, deep in thought.

A month ago, many things hadn't happened yet. Although he knew about it, he wasn't sure if it could bring down Concubine Lin.

Without understanding his father's thoughts, even if the deeds and promissory notes were found, they wouldn't be of much use.

Unfortunately, he couldn't share these thoughts with Feng Jinyao. The conflicts within the main family weren't recent, and he didn't want anyone to know that the eldest legitimate son of the main branch was so wary of a concubine, thus losing face for Madam Wen.

Feng Jinyao, being perceptive, understood his thoughts even without him saying anything.

She sighed, gently stroking Feng Yunhe's hair. "Yunhe, I've told you before, if you stand straight, you don't need to worry about your shadow. Now, let me tell you this: 'When content with what one has, the heart remains at peace; when desiring nothing, one's character stands tall.'"

Though her words were not explicit, Feng Yunhe understood. After a moment, he blushed and lowered his head in apology.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. I wanted to use this to bring down Concubine Lin, so I hesitated, waiting for the right moment to strike, but I forgot that if this matter were exposed by outsiders, it would still put the Feng family at risk. I was selfish."

Hearing his sincere words, Feng Jinyao was relieved.

A precocious child who goes astray and gets involved in these complex household schemes would harm his future prospects.

"It's good you understand. Always remember, you are the future head of the Feng family. You must consider the bigger picture."

Feng Yunhe nodded firmly. If given another chance, he wouldn't let his resentment delay the matter.

The aunt and nephew planned to wait until the courtyard was unrestricted before reporting the matter, but unexpectedly, Feng Jinxu had already investigated most of it.

Holding the box, he opened it to examine the deeds and promissory notes without anger.

The maid who had visited Concubine Lin earlier knelt before him, looking anxious and terrified that her actions would be discovered, leading to her doom.

"Is there anything else besides these?"

"No, my lord. I only handled these. Please spare me, my lord!"

The maid cried and blamed everything on Concubine Lin, thinking that since she was just an abandoned concubine, the lord wouldn't delve deeper.

But Feng Jinxu's calm words chilled her heart with each passing word.

"Last June 19, your grandson got drunk at Yihong House and let it slip that he had been handling these matters for Lin Lang for three years. In other words, a year after Yunli was born, she started lending money under an alias. She cleverly used the name of the Hua family, thinking that if investigated, she could use it as a scapegoat."

The maid's face turned pale with fear. She had forgotten that the lord had been working at the Court of Judicial Review for a long time. It was not difficult for him to trace the entire matter.

"Also last year, your precious grandson killed someone in a fight, and it was Lin Lang who found someone to take the blame, helping him escape. He's now hiding at her maternal home, disguised as a member of the Luo family. That's why she had leverage over you, forcing you to place items used by a smallpox patient in Yunhe's courtyard, causing him to contract the disease, correct?"

Feng Jinxu's light words were spoken calmly, with no visible change in his expression. But the more he spoke, the more terrified everyone around him became.

It was like the calm before the storm, silently invoking fear.

"My lord..."

At this point, the old maid was sweating profusely, too frightened even to beg for her life, only thinking about how to protect the rest of her family.

"It's also my fault for neglecting the first lady and Yunhe in the past, making you all think that the main wife and legitimate son could be easily bullied, and emboldening Lin Lang to the point of trying to take Yunhe's life. Given the current situation, I won't say much more. If you want your family to remain safe and undisturbed, leave a confession and end it yourself."

He put the promissory notes, land deeds, and field deeds back into the box, which Fu Yi, who had been silent, then took away.

Seeing this, the old maid lost all hope of survival.

About a quarter of an hour after Feng Jinxu left, someone reported from the back courtyard that the old maid had committed suicide by running into a pillar.

Fu Yi sneered coldly. "A clean death."

If this matter hadn't involved Concubine Lin, who was Feng Yunli's biological mother, potentially affecting the young master's future, they would have been tied up and sent to Ying Tian Prefecture long ago, without needing any confession.

"Find her grandson and investigate thoroughly the incident where he killed someone. Hand everything over to Yingtian Prefecture."

"Yes, sir!"

Feng Jinxu had promised not to harm her innocent family members, but that didn't include the despicable grandson. If the law didn't deal with him, how could they maintain order and justice?

Chapter 517: Delayed

Seeing several more bundles, Ye Muyu became suspicious.

Now that she saw the boots, there was no mistaking it.

Wang Chuan stood up and bowed, "These are horsehide riding boots made of precious material. It's a small token of appreciation from me and my father. Thanks to the help of Brother Heng in the past, everything at home has been settled. These three pairs of riding boots are well-deserved. I hope Sister-in-law won't dislike them."

"Although horsehide riding boots are not as good as deer leather, they are suitable for riding."

"That's not necessary." Ye Muyu truly listened to his words and quickly stood up to decline.

But Wang Chuan insisted on giving them and even said it was a token of gratitude.

However, Ye Muyu had already accepted a discount from the store before, so it was inappropriate to accept another gift.

Wang Chuan and Ye Muyu were at a stalemate.

Wang Chuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't accept them, I won't dare to tell Jiao'er when I go back. She specifically instructed me."

"If you feel unworthy of accepting them, I have one request to make with all due respect."

"I wonder if Sister-in-law could go and present the dowry to Jiao'er on the day of her and He Cheng's wedding."

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu quickly congratulated, "Congratulations, Chuan. Is the date set?"

"Yes, it's set for the fifth day of the ninth month." Wang Chuan's face was full of joy.

The date mentioned here was according to the lunar calendar. It was currently late June in the lunar calendar which was equivalent to late July in the solar calendar. There were still more than two months to go. Considering that Chu Qingxiang's marriage would be over by then, the next event would be Liu Jiao's wedding.

Ye Muyu was accustomed to using the solar calendar to look at dates, just as she was used to remembering the days of the week. Therefore, the dates would be earlier when using the solar calendar, about one month earlier than the lunar calendar.

She rubbed her forehead and felt that she might have to slowly get used to the lunar calendar in the future, rather than the solar calendar.

"In that case, I'll accept them." Ye Muyu didn't refuse anymore, thinking that adding makeup to Liu Jiao on that day was just a social gesture, like giving gifts.

Seeing her accept them, Wang Chuan smiled sincerely. He and his father had always felt that they hadn't been able to repay Chu Heng's kindness.

Now they could finally let go of their worries.

"Hu Shi, please prepare lunch."

Although Wang Chuan didn't arrive late, after chatting for a while, it was almost time for lunch.

After giving instructions, Ye Muyu smiled and asked Wang Chuan to stay for lunch. She reassured him that he needn't worry about it getting dark by the time he left.

After some consideration, Wang Chuan didn't refuse. "Then I'll trouble Sister-in-law."

"It's no trouble."

After entertaining Wang Chuan and seeing him off, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the promised date for Chu Heng's return had passed but there was still no sign of him, Ye Muyu's worries were about to overflow.

That morning, she hesitated for a while in front of the courtyard gate, pacing around.

In the end, she ordered Zhang Shu to hurry the donkey cart to the county seat and ask Housekeeper Luo about the situation.

Zhang Shu didn't dare to delay, so he took his breakfast with him and left for the county seat.

Hu Shi stayed at home to comfort Ye Muyu. "Madam, don't worry. Master might have already arrived in the county but he hasn't had a chance to come back and inform you."

"I hope so." Ye Muyu glanced at the sky which was overcast and seemed like it was going to rain.

Sure enough, not long after, a cool breeze blew, bringing a refreshing chill to the hot air and rain began to fall.

The whole village became extremely quiet.

Ye Muyu sat in front of the main hall, looking through the rain curtain from time to time towards the gate outside.
