Chapter 300: That's So Unfair, Your Highness!
Chapter 300: That's So Unfair, Your Highness!
The people in Lady Lu's compound didn't care much for Aunt He.
At the mention of her name by Lady Lu, Lin Gugu gently nodded: "I heard her body couldn't take it and she fainted. A doctor has been summoned and she has been carried out of the Buddha Hall."
Although they didn't care for her, Aunt He still held some significance in Lord Lu's heart from years past.
Having witnessed countless schemes within the rear courtyard, Lady Lu naturally understood that if someone were simply allowed to die, the beautiful filter of that person would remain forever in Lord Lu's heart.
Sometimes, people were more useful alive than dead.
This reasoning was known to everyone in Lady Lu's compound.
Therefore, upon hearing that Aunt He had fainted, whether it was real or fake, they would definitely call for a doctor and carefully attend to her.
While the methods of torment remained unchanged, not a single act of consolation was omitted.
The main focus was to ensure that others couldn't find the slightest fault.
After listening, Lady Lu gently nodded and soon asked, "How about the young master of the Wei family?"
Lin Gugu quickly replied, "After noon, His Highness arranged for someone to send him back to the marquis mansion, along with the eldest Miss Wei."
After finishing, Lin Gugu hesitated, thinking that her master might still be worried, so she added, "It was Miss Yu, His Highness's close attendant, who personally sent them back."
Miss Yu was one of the two close attendants of the First Princess.
Sometimes, the confidants of the powerful represented the powerful themselves.
As long as they weren't fools, the Wei family would understand what this meant.
Wouldn't the people of the Wei family panic upon displeasing the First Princess?
Hearing this, Lady Lu smiled and said, "Mother's arrangements are always the best. However, we must not relax. We'll have someone keep an eye on them to avoid being taken advantage of if something happens over there, and we don't know about it."
Lady Lu didn't finish her sentence; she merely held her lips, her attitude carrying a hint of mockery.
Lin Gugu understood immediately and quickly replied, "Yes."
On the other side, Su Su was currently sitting on her father's lap, recounting the interesting events of the day: "Second brother is Fourth Uncle, third brother is Seventh Uncle... Father, so should I call second brother 'Second Brother' or 'Fourth Uncle'? Should I call third brother 'Third Brother' or 'Seventh Uncle'?"
Some things were getting a bit absurd.
Su Su had only partially understood when she heard about this back then.
Now that she was talking about it again, she became confused once more.
Since Su Su had mentioned Feng You Tan and the others, King Qi also knew who Su Su was referring to at the moment.
After some thought, he lowered his head and asked Su Su, "So, what does Su Su want to call them?"
Su Su tilted her little head and thought carefully before shaking her head. "I don't know. I think that no matter how I call them, it depends on whether or not my brothers are willing."
Children were kind-hearted, always considering others' feelings first.
King Qi thought, this won't do!
His daughter could be a little spoiled, so what?
His kingdom could definitely afford to pamper her.
If things really didn't work out, he could always go to the palace and cry about it.
He didn't believe that his Imperial Brother wouldn't help him.
Thinking of this, King Qi raised his hand and gently tapped Su Su's head: "Su Su doesn't need to consider others. Call them however you want. How others feel about it is their business. Su Su's happiness is most important, and Father only cares about Su Su, not others."
Queen Qi: ...
It was over. Their child was going to be spoiled rotten.
However, their kingdom's princess could definitely be spoiled like this.
Don't like it?
Then come and fight me!
Queen Qi only hesitated for a second before joining the camp that spoiled their child: "Follow Su Su's preferences. Others' preferences are not important."
Feng Xuan Rui: ?
That doesn't sound right.
Mother, isn't this contrary to how you raised me?
Feng Xuan Rui furrowed his adorable eyebrows in deep thought, questioning his life choices.
Something wasn't adding up.
Things weren't like this before.
Why did it change when it came to his little sister?
However, after careful consideration, Feng Xuan Rui concluded that his father's words made perfect sense, damn it!
Do the opinions of others truly matter?
Feng Xuan Rui gazed at his sister, Su Su, as she tilted her head cutely, and he shook his head vigorously in his mind: No, they don't matter at all.
Su Su is the most important.
As for the others?
Who cares about them!
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuan Rui raised his hand and gently caressed Su Su's little face, saying, "Sister, don't worry about what others say. From now on, follow me. Call them whatever I call them, and that's that."
Hearing her brother's words, Su Su's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Yo-Yo said the same thing!"
Upon hearing Su Su mention Feng You Tan, Feng Xuan Rui pouted unhappily, "Don't listen to that little crazy Yo-Yo. She's not right in the head. We're not going to play with her."
Su Su: ?
Su Su looked at her brother in confusion and then glanced at her father and mother, thinking to herself, Yo-Yo seems pretty normal to me.
Although sometimes she gets angry and looks like a little piglet, she's not a bad person.
It's just that when she loses her temper, she can be a bit scary.
But Qing Qing said that it's normal for princesses to get angry sometimes.
Su Su looked around in bewilderment, and even King Qi's heart wavered a little.
Feng You Tan had a sharp tongue, and her foster mother, He Guifei, was also a proud and arrogant woman.
Like mother, like daughter—it was no surprise that Feng You Tan had a similar temperament.
However, when the Imperial Brother had initially sent the child to be raised in He Guifei's palace, he had made his stance clear: as long as she didn't commit an offense worthy of extermination, a little stubbornness and willfulness were tolerable.
Su Su was still young and gentle-hearted, and King Qi feared that she might be bullied if she played with Feng You Tan.
But then he remembered that Feng You Tan rarely left the palace, so they wouldn't have many opportunities to play together anyway. With that thought, King Qi gently nodded and said, "Little Six, watch your words. Regardless, she's still your sister."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan Rui immediately bristled, "I don't want that kind of sister!"
The last time they met, she had pulled out a small clump of his hair, and it had hurt for days!
Whose sister pulls her brother's hair out without mercy? She almost ripped all his hair out!
Queen Qi remembered this incident very well.
Hearing Little Six bring it up again, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Feng Xuan Rui glared at her, and Queen Qi quickly composed herself, pretending as if nothing had happened, casually fixing her hair.
She was so busy; she didn't laugh, really, she didn't!
Oh no, she couldn't hold it in anymore!
But she mustn't laugh.
If she did, Little Six would get angry again.
Although it was adorable when children got angry...
...they still needed to be appeased.
Queen Qi struggled to control her expression.
Feng Xuan Rui eyed his mother suspiciously, staring at her for a long time before finally looking away. He then huffed a couple of times, clearly still displeased.
King Qi, influenced by Su Su's earlier comments, couldn't help but mumble upon hearing Feng Xuan Rui's voice, "That sounds like a little piglet."
Feng Xuan Rui: ???
The young boy shot him an accusatory look, and King Qi was taken aback for a moment before quickly changing the subject, "...but it's kind of cute."
Feng Xuan Rui: ...
Hmph!
Even if you call it cute, I still won't talk to you!
You adults are so unfair!
