Chapter 173: Fighting Against the Heavens is Endless Fun
Chapter 173: Fighting Against the Heavens is Endless Fun
Su Su couldn't remember much, but looking at Sister Shuran's pale and frail appearance, Su Su thought hard and said everything she could.
She even mentioned chloral hydrate, which Doctor Xu thought the little girl might not remember.
Although Madam He couldn't understand, the more she listened, the more excited she became.
The more she felt...
This must be sent by the heavens to save her daughter.
Is this just a friend her daughter knows?
No!
This is a little fairy sent by the heavens to save them!
With these thoughts, Madam He's gaze grew more and more intense.
Queen Qi, watching from the side, felt more and more uneasy.
However, she didn't want to show it.
Being able to save someone's life was indeed a good thing.
Moreover, the He family was quite decent, and He Shuran, the young lady, got along well with Su Su.
Queen Qi wouldn't feel good either if she just let it go.
But what about next time?
What if they encounter someone else in the future?
Would the deity she prayed to really be effective?
Queen Qi felt helpless and clueless, yet she had to pretend to be calm.
It wasn't until later, when Su Su really couldn't think of anything else, that Madam He excitedly held her hand and stuffed things into her small purse.
Bracelets, necklaces, jade pendants, and agates, among others.
If not for her concern about her image, Madam He would have taken off all the jewelry from her head and even removed all the beaded flowers to give to Su Su. "Good child, Auntie thanks you, I really thank you. Take all these, and Auntie will give you more when I get something good in the future."
Madam He was so excited that tears fell from her eyes.
He Shuran tugged at her sleeve, looking a little scared.
The worried and shy gaze from her daughter brought Madam He back to her senses.
She thought she shouldn't be too excited, as it might scare the child.
Moreover, the adult accompanying Su Su was still there.
With these thoughts, Madam He wiped her tears, adjusted her emotions, gently hugged Su Su, and then stood up to first apologize and then thank Queen Qi.
Inside, Queen Qi felt extremely flustered, but on the surface, she remained very calm. "It's also the children's encounter, and for such matters, we must consult the doctor carefully."
Madam He naturally understood, nodding continuously. "Yes, yes, but regardless, we must still thank Su Su."
Madam He was so happy that she couldn't even finish the vegetarian meal.
However, since they had come to the temple to pray for blessings, it would be inappropriate to waste the food. In the end, she forced it down, tasting like wax in her mouth, and then hurriedly bid farewell and left with He Shuran.
From their hurried manner, it seemed that they intended to find the doctor to discuss the treatment plan.
Su Su watched as her sister and aunt left in a fluster.
Not wanting the young children to be overly panicked, Queen Qi smiled and said, "Your sister needs to see the doctor now, Su Su, don't worry."
Hearing this, Su Su felt relieved and nodded obediently, allowing her mother to lead her by the hand to listen to the sutra again.
During the sermon, more people arrived, and Su Su noticed that her mother's eyes lit up, and she smiled and nodded at them, apparently recognizing them.
Curious, Su Su turned her head and met the smile of a young aunt with gently curved eyebrows. Beside her stood a young master with an exceptionally proper posture.
The young master looked to be around the same age as her brothers. Seeing Su Su looking over, he politely nodded at her. Perhaps feeling that his demeanor was a bit cold, he thought for a moment and then smiled at Su Su again.
Su Su returned his smile out of politeness, revealing shallow dimples.
Upon seeing Su Su's smile, Song Kuan was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the little girl to have such a charming smile, and he couldn't help but smile back. Su Su, seeing this, smiled in response as well.
The two children continued to smile at each other, each not wanting to be the first to stop.
Princess Qi, who had been feeling anxious, gradually calmed down as she listened to the sermon. Seeing the two children laughing and smiling, her worries began to fade away.
She thought to herself, 'Since the fortune slip told me to be at peace, I should just trust in it and stop worrying. Even if there are blessings or misfortunes ahead, we still have the support of the Qi Wang Manor and the Song Manor.'
'What is there to fear? If raising Su Su means fighting against the heavens, then I'm willing to give it a try!'
'What's the point of fighting against others? Fighting against the heavens is where the endless fun lies!'
With these thoughts, Princess Qi's heart not only calmed but also filled with determination.
Su Su eventually laughed to the point of exhaustion, but she was reluctant to admit defeat.
As for Song Kuan, being a young boy, he certainly couldn't be the first to give in to his younger sister.
And so, he continued to smile.
By the time the sermon ended, both children's faces were stiff from smiling. Su Su's face felt sore, and she thought to herself, 'Oh no! Smiling is so difficult! No, it's that brother who's too good at smiling!'
With these thoughts, Su Su stole a glance at Song Kuan.
Song Kuan had been rubbing his face but smiled at Su Su when he noticed her looking at him.
Su Su: "..."
She cried for help inwardly, not wanting to engage in another smiling match. She instinctively hid behind Princess Qi, deciding not to take the bait this time. Her face felt so sore, and she didn't want to smile anymore.
Princess Qi couldn't help but chuckle at Su Su's actions.
Zhou, holding Song Kuan's hand, watched this interaction and couldn't help but smile as well.
As the crowd dispersed, Princess Qi and Zhou brought up the rear. Before Princess Qi could say anything, Zhou spoke first, "So this is Su Su, eh? Just looking at her, you can tell she's a clever and adorable child."
First, she praised Su Su, then bent down to greet her warmly, "Hello, Su Su. I'm your Aunt Zhou, and this is Song Kuan, your brother."
The young auntie took the initiative to introduce herself, and Su Su politely nodded in response, "Hello, Aunt Zhou. I'm Su Su."
After replying, she turned her head to look at Song Kuan and unconsciously quickened her tone, "Hello, Brother Song Kuan."
Having introduced herself, Su Su quickly turned back, afraid that Song Kuan would smile at her again.
'It's so scary! Constantly smiling is truly scary!'
Su Su was anxious, and so was Song Kuan.
He was still rubbing his face, recovering from the prolonged smiling.
However, the fact that Su Su had greeted him made Song Kuan feel better. Like a little adult, he cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "Hello, Su Su. I'm your brother, Song Kuan."
Su Su returned the gesture, remembering the etiquette her aunt had taught her these past few days, and bowed slightly.
The little girl's bow was both adorable and well-executed.
Song Kuan watched her, then cupped his hands again in response.
Aunt Zhou, seeing this exchange, couldn't help but pull Song Kuan's hand, "Alright, do you want to tire your sister out?"
Song Kuan felt a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand.
Seeing this, Su Su quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
'Whew, that was close! I almost ended up constantly bowing to Brother Song Kuan!'
Watching Su Su's reaction, Princess Qi's mood improved as well.
She thought, 'Such a cute, well-behaved, interesting, and sensible child. If I don't adopt her, I'll be the one missing out!'
