Chapter 128: Liu Hemeng (Liu's Unity)
Chapter 128: Liu Hemeng (Liu's Unity)
Sui Sui adored her new hat, but breakfast was equally important.
So, when her mother reminded her, she obediently followed to the dining hall.
Fenghan Rui and the others had arrived early, and they immediately surrounded Sui Sui upon noticing her new hat.
"Little sister, it's so pretty!"
"The braid is beautifully woven!"
"I want one too!"
...
Her brothers, of course, showered her with compliments.
Sui Sui lowered her lip shyly, a bashful smile on her face.
Fenghan Bin, being the youngest, spoke without restraint.
He wanted the hat too when he saw how lovely it looked, but he didn't dare ask Aunt directly, considering Zhou Yin's involvement.
Thus, he remained silent, merely pursing his lips.
Instead, it was Princess Qi who smiled and said, "We'll ask your mother later if she can sew one for you."
Fenghan Bin eagerly nodded, "Yes, yes, ask my mother!"
Zhou Yin had been bedridden for a day due to the issues with her family back in Wenzhou.
However, the next day, she forced herself to get up and pay her respects.
Zhou Yin was afraid of misunderstandings—it wouldn't look good if she fell ill right after the Princess merely called her for a chat.
She wouldn't have gotten up if she didn't have the strength to do so.
Thus, as soon as she felt a bit better, she made her way over.
Zhou Yin was relieved that Fenghan Bin hadn't returned to her courtyard these past few days due to Sui Sui's presence, sparing her the embarrassment of being seen with red, tear-stained eyes and a gloomy expression.
Zhou Yin was doing her best to adjust her state of mind.
She thought to herself that no matter how difficult it was, she had to endure for the sake of her seven young masters.
The group enjoyed a lively breakfast. Sui Sui drank her millet and yam porridge and ate red bean rolls.
After the meal, Fenghan Rui and the others went to class.
Fenghan Bin, a habitual truant, was so preoccupied with thoughts of the pretty hat that he kept turning back as he walked.
If it weren't for Princess Qi keeping a close eye on him, he would have definitely skipped class and run off!
However, in the end, he couldn't escape and obediently went to class.
As the people from the Grand Princess's mansion hadn't arrived yet, Princess Qi went to look for Doctor Liu, wanting to see if he had brought his granddaughter along.
Doctor Liu had entered the mansion early that morning to check on Sui Sui's health.
The young girl's frail body required extra attention, and he wanted to ensure she was being properly cared for.
At that moment, he was in the side hall of the front yard, sorting through medicinal materials.
By his side was a chatty little girl named Liu Hemeng, Doctor Liu's granddaughter.
The seven-year-old girl was very talkative, pointing out the different medicinal ingredients as her grandfather sorted them—now identifying cangzhu, now white bamboo, commenting on their unpleasant smells or their medicinal uses.
Hemeng's talent for medicine was undeniable, despite her young age.
Doctor Liu felt both proud and worried.
He was proud that his granddaughter had inherited the family's medical legacy, but he was concerned that...
Hemeng was too lively and found it difficult to focus for extended periods.
He feared that she would squander her talent due to a lack of concentration.
Hemeng had visited the mansion before and was familiar with it.
Today, she had been told by her grandfather that they were coming to keep a little sister company.
At that moment, the little sister hadn't arrived yet, and Hemeng was getting anxious, "Where's the little sister? Why isn't she here yet?"
"She didn't sleep in, did she?"
"Oh my, that would be so embarrassing. I don't even sleep in."
...
The little girl was indeed very talkative, and her voice carried.
As Doctor Liu sorted the medicinal materials, he would glance at her from time to time, a look of contentment on his face.
It was clear that Doctor Liu was satisfied and fond of this eldest granddaughter.
When Princess Qi led Sui Sui over, they could hear Liu Hemeng's loud voice.
Hearing the little girl's clear and loud voice, a smile tugged at the corners of Princess Qi's lips.
She thought that having an energetic little girl around might be good, as it could help Sui Sui become more bold and outgoing.
Hearing the commotion at the door, Doctor Liu realized that Princess Qi had arrived and quickly took Liu Hemeng's hand to greet and pay his respects.
After rising, they exchanged a few brief pleasantries before Doctor Liu pulled Liu Hemeng forward and introduced her: "Sui Sui, this is your sister, Hemeng."
Liu Hemeng's name was also the name of a medicinal herb, and the family didn't give her a separate nickname, so they just called her Hemeng.
Grandfather Liu had always been kind to her, and upon seeing him, Sui Sui politely greeted him first and then looked at Liu Hemeng, who was standing not far in front of her.
The girl had big, bright eyes and was very pretty.
Liu Hemeng wore her hair in a cute little bun adorned with a beautiful pink satin ribbon.
Her hair was shiny and thick, and Sui Sui couldn't help but feel envious as she gazed at it.
She thought that when her hair grew longer, it would look like that too.
Sui Sui, indulging in this fantasy, smiled shyly at Liu Hemeng and said, "Hello, Sister Hemeng. I'm Sui Sui."
Sui Sui's voice still carried the soft, childish tone of a young girl.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hemeng felt her heart melt.
Liu Hemeng's mother had only given birth to her and her brother, and she had often wished for her mother to have another child, a little sister.
Unfortunately, her mother had suffered an injury during her birth, and in the many years since, she had never conceived again.
A little sister had remained a fantasy and a longing.
Now, hearing Sui Sui call her 'sister', Liu Hemeng's eyes lit up, and her heart felt alive.
She thought, 'isn't this my own little sister?'
Wow!
She looked so adorable!
Unable to contain herself, Liu Hemeng took two steps forward, gently caressing Sui Sui's soft cheeks, her smile bright and cheerful. "Hello, little sister. I'm your sister, Hemeng. Just call me sister."
Who needed a name like 'Hemeng'?
She was her sister, her real sister!
If she wanted a little sister, she had to be shameless about it.
Taking advantage of the fact that her little sister was still young, she would just kidnap her!
Hey, by the time she grew up and realized what had happened, it would be too late!
She was already Liu Hemeng's little sister, and there was no escaping that fact!
No, she must not escape!
The more Liu Hemeng thought about her plan, the more brilliant she found it.
First impressions were a strange thing.
Due to their aunt's connection, Liu Hemeng had met Ying Zhi and even played with her before.
However, the two girls had started bickering as soon as they met, and if it hadn't been for the Grand Princess' identity, they would have probably come to blows!
In Liu Hemeng's opinion, Ying Zhi was cute.
But as a little sister?
No way, she didn't want that kind of sister!
Ying Qiaoqiao wasn't adorable either.
On the other hand, Sui Sui was soft and gentle, and touching her felt like caressing soft clouds in the sky.
Liu Hemeng felt that if she had a little sister, she would want her to be just like Sui Sui.
As for Ying Qiaoqiao...
She didn't want anything to do with her!
Thinking about having a little sister, Liu Hemeng suddenly remembered that she had some candy in her pouch.
She had thought that if she met a cute little sister, she would share the candy with her.
But if the little sister wasn't cute...
Well, then forget it!
She had a limited amount of candy to eat each day, and she wasn't about to share it with a sister she didn't like.
Not even half a piece!
