Chapter 141: Wishing Su Su Good Health and Growth
Chapter 141: Wishing Su Su Good Health and Growth
Ms. Sun examined it carefully and found that the problem was indeed minor. She first turned her head and glared at Ying Ningzhi.
The child was so scared that he shrank back and then thought about it. He smiled flatteringly: "I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't paying attention, I thought it was Qia Qiao..."
Before he could finish the words "thick-skinned and fleshy," he was met with a stern glare from Ying Zhi, who also bartered her teeth at him.
Ying Ningzhi was so scared that he dared not speak, and could only offer a flattering smile.
They were all children, so it wouldn't do to scold them too harshly.
Ms. Sun sighed helplessly and gently soothed Su Su's emotions: "Su Su, don't be afraid. The wound isn't big. It will heal quickly with some medicine. Your third brother is just impulsive and doesn't know his own strength. Don't take it to heart."
Upon hearing his grandmother speak, Ying Ningzhi quickly scurried over and said with a smile, "Little sister, little sister, I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. Third brother will definitely be more careful next time."
Ms. Sun gave him a helpless look as she heard these words: "There won't be a next time. You can talk about controlling your strength when you've actually learned to do so."
Ying Ningzhi was unwilling to accept this statement and stood there, heaving a mischievous smile.
By now, Su Su was no longer in pain and didn't blame her third brother.
Although he had tugged on her hat and scratched her chin, Su Su didn't sense any malicious intent from him.
Perhaps it was just an accident.
Moreover, when they were playing together earlier, her third brother had hugged her and even helped her spin the dragonfly.
Her third brother was a good person.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Su gently shook her head: "It's okay. I don't hurt, and I don't blame Third Brother."
Hearing this, Ying Ningzhi became proud and cocky, with his hands on his hips and his small belly sticking out, looking like a victorious general as he circled around Ying Zhi.
Ying Zhi: ...!
Her fists clenched in anger!
Once they returned to the mansion, she would definitely give him a couple of punches first!
Ying Zhi's killing intent was completely unconcealed, and as Ying Ningzhi thought about the beatings he had endured in the past, he silently lowered his boastful hands.
Ms. Sun gently soothed Su Su's emotions and then untied a beautiful green jade pendant from her waist, tying it around Su Su's waist.
In truth, an adult's jade pendant might not be the most suitable choice for Su Su.
However, Ms. Sun didn't have any other appropriate items on hand at the moment.
It wouldn't do to casually remove something from her head, as doing so and letting her hair down in someone else's mansion would be extremely impolite.
As for bracelets and such, Su Su couldn't wear them yet.
After much consideration, the jade pendant was the most fitting option.
Su Su took a look and, seeing that her aunt was about to give her something, quickly waved her hands: "Auntie, I can't accept this."
Her mother and Le Le had been teaching Su Su that it wasn't appropriate to casually accept other people's things.
Su Su always kept this in mind.
Even without their reminders, Su Su wouldn't dare to casually accept something due to her past experiences.
Seeing the child's anxious expression, Ms. Sun's heart softened, and the tone of her voice became much gentler: "Your third brother hurt you, and it was his fault. Although he apologized and you generously forgave him, I still feel bad about it. So I want to give this to you as compensation, alright?"
With her mother not by her side and her cousin standing far away, Su Su didn't know whether to accept it or not for the moment.
The little girl looked lost and pitiful yet adorable.
Ms. Sun's heart softened even more.
She thought, no wonder the Princess of the Qi Kingdom loved this child.
She was beautiful, pure-hearted, and had gone through such pitiful experiences in the past.
If it were her, she would also want to bring her back and raise her.
Ms. Sun gently lifted her hand and caressed the little girl's shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of gentle coaxing: "Su Su, just put your heart at ease and accept it, alright? This is to compensate you."
Liu Hemeng watched from the side for a while, then thought about it and reminded Su Su like a little adult: "Little sister, you should accept it first."
Finding it difficult to refuse such a kind offer, Su Su thought about it and then looked at Ms. Sun before nodding obediently: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Su Su originally wanted to stop Ms. Sun, but she withdrew her hand and allowed her to tie a jade pendant around her waist.
As Ms. Sun fastened the pendant, she smiled and said, "It's Auntie who should be apologizing for not keeping a better eye on my own child. This jade pendant is carved with bamboo joints, symbolizing my wish for you to grow taller and healthier with each passing day."
The meaning behind these words was a bit too complex for Su Su to fully understand.
At this moment, the system quietly prompted her, 【Su Su, your aunt is giving you a blessing. Remember to say thank you.】
Upon hearing this, Su Su looked at the jade pendant and then at Ms. Sun, her voice soft and gentle, "Thank you, Auntie."
Ms. Sun lovingly caressed the little girl's face and checked the scratch one more time before straightening up to turn her attention to her mischievous children.
Having caused trouble, Ying Ningzhi finally calmed down.
Ying Zhi also felt it was inappropriate to mention that she didn't want to leave.
Not wanting to part with Su Su, Ying Zhi gently pulled Su Su's hand and whispered, "Little sister, you really won't come back with me? I have lots of toys at my mansion, as well as pretty clothes, jewelry, and delicious food..."
These offerings were indeed tempting.
However, Su Su thought about it and realized that she wanted to stay with her mother and brother.
Having made up her mind, Su Su shook her head, "But I want to stay with Mother and Brother."
Hearing this, Ying Zhi felt a twinge of sadness. After a moment's thought, she reluctantly conceded, "Then, you must come visit me when you have free time."
Su Su didn't know if she would be allowed to go out and play.
However, Ying Zhi continued to hold her hand, insisting that she agree.
Thinking about this, Su Su softly replied, "...Okay."
Hearing her little sister's agreement, Ying Zhi beamed with joy.
She stopped holding onto Su Su's hand and turned to take Ms. Sun's hand instead, "Grandmother, Sister Su Su will come to our mansion to play, and we'll make delicious food for her!"
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Ms. Sun smiled gently, "Alright, whatever you say."
After agreeing, she paused to think...
Qiao Qiao calls Su Su 'little sister,' Su Su calls me 'auntie,' and Qiao Qiao calls me 'grandmother'...
These generational titles are quite confusing.
Technically speaking, there's a generation gap between these two children!
But, for now, let them play together happily without worrying about such intricacies.
We can remind them about it when they're older.
After meeting up with the Eldest Princess, Ms. Sun, Yan Shi, and the children prepared to take their leave.
The Princess of Qi held Su Su's hand and, along with Liu Hemeng and a group of servants, escorted them to the gate, watching as they boarded the carriage. Ying Zhi poked her head out once more, "Sister Su Su, remember to come find me to play!"
Perhaps worried that Su Su might not be familiar with the capital and would be unable to leave the mansion, Ying Zhi thought for a moment before adding, "It's fine if you can't come to me; I can come to you instead!"
After saying this, she didn't hurry back into the carriage but continued to wave at Su Su.
Su Su imitated her, waving back.
Out of politeness, Liu Hemeng also waved.
Hearing the commotion, Ying Ningzhi wanted to go out as well, but Ms. Sun held him back firmly, afraid that he would cause more trouble as soon as they returned home!
It wasn't until the carriage disappeared around the corner that the Princess of Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the relationship between the two mansions was good, there were still many things to pay attention to when interacting with each other.
The Princess of Qi had been on edge the entire time she was seeing them off, and only now could she finally relax a little.
She bent down and gently picked up Su Su, asking softly, "Did you have fun playing with your brother and sister today?"
As she spoke, the Princess of Qi's other hand reached out to hold Liu Hemeng's as well.
The Princess of Qi thought to herself, I must take good care of my daughter's little friend, too.
