Chapter 293: Lu YinSong
Chapter 293: Lu YinSong
Of course, Feng Youdan didn't want to give up just like that. She tiptoed and kept looking in her second brother's direction.
Unfortunately, all she saw was her second brother's ruthless back as he walked away without even turning his head, his actions cold and decisive.
This hurt Feng Youdan a little. Pouting, she glanced at the young servant, Yue Bai, and asked in a low voice, "How has Second Brother's body been lately? How is his appetite? Has there been any foolish troublemaker from the mansion paying him a visit?"
The young girl had quite a few questions.
Unfortunately, Yue Bai bowed slightly and simply replied, "Your Highness, the young master is well."
So, he wasn't willing to say more, huh?
Feng Youdan pouted and reluctantly replied, "Alright then."
By now, Cousin Gu and the others had already passed through the main entrance and entered the small courtyard.
However, the servant had only allowed them to wait at the entrance and hadn't invited them in.
Noticing this, and given that her second brother refused to meet anyone, Feng Youdan had no other choice but to leave, pulling Suisu's hand as they walked out.
Suisu was perplexed but didn't ask further.
She merely turned her head to glance at the distant retreating figure and whispered to Feng Youdan, "Sister, his little carriage is bigger than my wooden horse."
That little carriage was so big it could definitely seat her, her brother, and her seventh brother.
Suisu wanted one, and she planned to ask her father about it when she returned to the mansion today.
Feng Youdan, who had already been walking out sadly, paused upon hearing Suisu's words, instinctively raising her hand to cover Suisu's mouth.
However, just as her hand reached out, she suddenly looked up towards the direction where her second brother had walked away.
Now that she thought about it...
With Suisu's mention, Feng Youdan also felt that this wheelchair was quite convenient.
One didn't need to walk during travel.
The thought of it was quite comfortable.
If her second brother's leg hadn't been injured, she believed Feng Youdan would still be willing to give it a try.
However, thinking of her second brother's injury, Feng Youdan sighed like a little adult, "Second Brother's leg is injured, so he has no choice but to sit in the little carriage. Actually, if he could, Second Brother wouldn't want to sit in it."
If one's legs were fine, who would want to sit in a wheelchair?
Who wouldn't want to run and jump freely?
Those who had never experienced it would long for it even more.
And those who had once enjoyed it would long for it again after experiencing misfortune.
Unfortunately, the royal physician had said that the chances of her second brother's leg...
healing were too slim.
Moreover, her second brother now lived in seclusion and didn't want to meet anyone, much less allow a physician into his courtyard.
So, even that slim hope had now been severed.
Thinking of this made Feng Youdan feel a little sad.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Suisu finally realized that her second brother had an injury on his leg.
Back in the village, she had also seen people with injured legs.
However, the village lacked resources, so many people could only rely on their families to take care of them, after which they would continue to work with their ailing legs.
If they didn't work, they wouldn't be able to plant or harvest the crops, thus being unable to feed their entire family.
Only those who truly lived as peasants could truly understand their hardships.
However, Suisu was still young, and while she might unconsciously understand the peasants' struggles, she didn't know how to express it.
Or perhaps she understood too little and didn't truly grasp these things.
Staring at her second brother's distant retreating figure, she thought about her sister's words and gently nodded, "Then Second Brother is so pitiful."
Upon hearing this, Feng Youdan panicked and waved her hands in a fluster, "Suisu, you mustn't say such things..."
Before she could finish her words, they heard the already distant Fourth Young Master shout again, "Get lost!!!'
Fearing further delay, Feng Youdan pulled Suisu's hand and ran out of the small courtyard.
Cousin Gu and the others were quick to react, quickly catching up.
Then, the small courtyard's door slammed shut.
The young servant closed the door almost simultaneously with the last person exiting, ensuring it was firmly shut.
The commotion startled Suisu.
She thought, "This second brother has quite a temper."
However, upon further reflection, considering his injured leg, it seemed like a natural reaction to feel upset.
Suisu reasoned that when she was unwell, her body felt uncomfortable, and it affected her mood.
With this thought, she felt she could understand his behavior a little better?
Suisu was perplexed, tilting her little head in confusion.
After escaping, Feng Youdan paused to catch her breath, then turned back to look.
All she could see now was the tall courtyard wall and the mercilessly closed door.
The young girl stood at the doorway for a long time before finally lowering her gaze and speaking in a choked-up voice, "Suisu, do you know? Your second brother used to be the most passionate young man in the capital. Many people said he had the talent to be a general, and that he might even surpass Uncle Qing Wang in the future. What a pity..."
An unexpected fall from a horse had cut short his path to the battlefield, turning the once vibrant young man into a reclusive, morose lunatic.
Feng Youdan was aware of the whispers behind her back. Some people mocked, saying that the once vibrant Lu Yinsong had become a cold, heartless lunatic after his leg injury.
However, Feng Youdan refused to believe those words.
Her second brother had once been so full of hope and eager to fight on the battlefield.
Even if he couldn't bear the blow of his leg injury, he wouldn't have turned into a lunatic.
As Feng Youdan mentioned her second brother, her soft and tender bun-like face took on a withered look.
Seeing this, Suisu felt a twinge of heartache.
She raised her tiny hand and gently touched Feng Youdan's soft bun-like face, "Don't cry, sister. Second brother will get better."
Suisu's attempt at comfort only made Feng Youdan's tears flow more profusely.
The young girl sobbed, "Boo hoo, he won't get better! The royal physician said he won't get better! Boo hoo, my second brother..."
Feng Youdan remembered that her second brother probably couldn't bear to hear such words. So, even as she cried loudly, she controlled her volume, trying to muffle her voice while ensuring Suisu could still hear her.
"It's okay, Suisu. You don't understand these things. If he really is as talented as they say, then just because he's injured his leg, it doesn't mean he's lost everything."
【If this young master truly possesses the capabilities as rumored, then even with a leg injury, his abilities remain intact.】
【After all, if he was a military genius, then his brain must hold a set of strategies that others cannot fathom. Even if he can no longer pursue his original aspirations due to his physical condition, that doesn't mean he can't teach others.】
【Being the brain of a team or a commander is also a crucial role. Without this piece, even the most powerful machine cannot function properly.】
【Every single person in this world is like a small piece of the grand puzzle of the world, irreplaceable.】
