Chapter 313: Brothers with Ulterior Motives!
Chapter 313: Brothers with Ulterior Motives!
Prince Qi didn't inquire further, and Aunt Qiu also decided to leave it at that.
Upon realizing that Feng Xuanjie had taken advantage of their fight to defect, the Feng Xuanrui brothers were furious.
Of course, they weren't angry about the defection.
A little betrayal was nothing to them.
What truly bothered them was that he had secretly embraced Suisu!
This was unacceptable!
Like a tiny bomb, Feng Xuanrui rushed forward, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Let go of my sister! She's mine, all mine!"
Feng Xuanjie had been talking to Suisu, retelling age-appropriate stories from old storybooks, captivating Suisu and making her round eyes shine with curiosity and wonder.
Seeing his adorable little sister, Feng Xuanjie couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for her.
Hearing Feng Xuanrui's voice, Feng Xuanjie was startled, and his sudden movement startled Suisu as well.
Puzzled, Suisu turned to look at her fourth brother's flustered face and asked softly, "Fourth brother, what's wrong?"
Not wanting Suisu to think of him as a coward, Feng Xuanjie gently shook his head and replied, "It's nothing."
It was at this moment that Feng Xuanrui charged forward, afraid of scaring his sister. As he approached, he abruptly stopped, but his momentum carried him forward, and he nearly fell flat on his face.
Fortunately, Feng Xuanrui had good balance and quickly stabilized himself. He then reached out to Suisu with a smile, revealing his pearly white teeth, "Sister, big brother is here!"
Feng Xuanrui had just tumbled with his brothers, and his body was still dirty, with grass stains in his hair.
While Suisu wasn't particularly repulsed, she was concerned about getting her new clothes dirty. After a moment's thought, she asked softly, "Brother, could you wash your hands first before holding me?"
Feng Xuanrui: ?
At first, he didn't react, his big eyes filled with hurt and disbelief. His expression seemed to say: Sister, do you despise me?
When they first met, he had been even messier, and she hadn't minded then!
Feng Xuanrui felt hurt and sad. He lowered his head, wanting to cover his face with his hands to show his sorrow.
But as he lowered his head, he saw his own dirty little hands.
Feng Xuanrui: ...
Ha!
Perhaps his sister's disdain wasn't entirely unfounded.
Even he was reluctant to touch his own face with those hands.
How embarrassing! Feng Xuanrui felt awkward and wanted to find something to do. But before he could, he felt Suisu gently tugging at his clothes.
Noticing her brother's sadness, Suisu became uneasy. She gestured slightly to her fourth brother, then climbed down from his lap and gently pulled at his clothes.
Seeing that he was looking at her, Suisu said anxiously, "Brother, hold me!"
Suisu valued her brother's happiness more than her clean clothes.
The little girl's outstretched arms were so adorable that it made one want to rush forward and hug her tightly, even if it meant running a few hundred kilometers!
Feng Xuanrui was deeply touched, but when he saw his own grimy hands, he also felt a bit of self-loathing.
So, Feng Xuanrui waved his hand and said, "Sister, wait just a moment. I'll be right back, I promise!"
As Feng Xuanrui turned to run off, he noticed that Feng Xuanbo had already quietly returned after washing his hands. Feng Xuanbo flashed him a triumphant smile, clearly enjoying his slight upper hand.
Feng Xuanrui: ?
Just as Feng Xuanrui was filled with suspicion, wondering what Feng Xuanjie was scheming, he heard Feng Xuanbo lower his head and gently say to Suisu, "Little sister, come, let your fifth brother give you a hug."
Feng Xuanrui: ??
Suisu didn't refuse the now-clean fifth brother and obediently let him pick her up.
Feng Xuanbo gave a light cough after hugging his little sister, signaling his victory.
Feng Xuanrui: ?!
Damn it!
One day, I'll bite that little punk to death!
Bite him to death, I will! Feng Xuanrui thought angrily as he stormed off.
That little schemer, Xuanjie, deserves a good beating!
Although Feng Xuancai was slower than Feng Xuanbo, he had also cleaned himself up and returned.
Feng Xuanbin followed slowly behind him.
When Feng Xuanrui saw that they had all finished washing up, he pouted unhappily.
Boo hoo!
My brothers are ganging up on me!
Not wanting Feng Xuanrui to be sad, Feng Xuancai turned around and accompanied him for another round.
The thoughtfulness of his third brother made Feng Xuanrui feel a little better.
However, as the two of them returned after cleaning up, Feng Xuancai made a request of Feng Xuanrui, "Little Six, can I hold our little sister first this time?"
Feng Xuanrui: ?
You bastards!
Why are you all after my little sister?!
She's mine! Mine, I tell you! I found her, so she belongs to me! Feng Xuanrui fumed, gritting his teeth in frustration.
In the end, he reluctantly agreed, knowing he had no other choice.
After all, Third Brother was a good guy, so he could be nice to him, too.
Soon enough, Feng Xuanrui realized the consequences of being nice to his third brother!
Feng Xuancai was over there, hugging Suisu and saying something that made her laugh out loud.
Meanwhile, he, along with Feng Xuanbin and the others, had to bend down and carefully search for the wooden pieces, measuring the dimensions precisely to ensure they didn't get it wrong.
Boo hoo!
Life was so difficult!
At that moment, Feng Xuanrui found himself praying that Consort Zhou would give birth to a daughter this time.
That way, the other brothers could dote on another little sister, and Suisu would be all his!
All his!
Just thinking about it made him feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Although Suisu wasn't much help with finding the wooden pieces, she had her allies.
First, there was Feng Xuanjie, then Feng Xuanbo, and now Feng Xuancai.
Everyone pitched in to help the girls, making sure they had all the materials they needed for their little waterwheel.
Among the remaining wooden pieces, there were indeed some that didn't belong.
However, Feng Xuancai had sharp eyes and, along with his younger brothers, promptly removed the miscellaneous pieces, identifying the ones that truly belonged to their little cart.
Now came the most crucial part: assembly.
This step would determine whether their theory would become a reality.
Shen Huatong gestured to the two younger girls while giving instructions like a commander.
"This piece should go here."
"All the leaves should face the same direction. Let's lay them out first and then insert them slowly."
"And this one is structural, so be careful with it."
...
With Shen Huatong's guidance, Suisu and Liu Hemeng became like two little dummies, simply following instructions without needing to think for themselves.
However, Shen Huatong soon realized that this arrangement wasn't ideal and decided to test the two girls instead.
"Suisu, tell Sister Huatong, where should this piece go?"
"Hemeng, you tell Sister Huatong, too. Which part is this, and where should we insert it?"
...
