Chapter 350: Fiancee, Here I Come
Chapter 350: Fiancee, Here I Come
It took some effort, but everyone finally managed to placate Feng Youdan.
With red-rimmed eyes, Feng Youdan asked hesitantly, "Will...will Second Brother be alright? Sniff..."
Liuxin Xiao nodded, his scalp tingling. "It's just a minor cold. Nothing serious."
From what the doctor said, it seemed that the illness was caused by suppressed emotions, resulting in a fiery energy rising to his throat. After taking the medicine, he just needed some rest, and he would be fine.
However, Liuxin felt it was best not to elaborate further on this topic.
If he explained too much, and Feng Youdan thought about it more, this matter might drag on endlessly.
Hearing Liuxin's assurance, Feng Youdan was somewhat satisfied.
After her outburst, her face was a mess, and Yingzhi gently suggested that she freshen up a bit.
Feng Youdan didn't refuse, but she wasn't ready to let Liuxin go just yet.
However, faced with Liuxin, who stood there politely and maturely, Feng Youdan suddenly felt flustered.
What had she done in her moment of excitement?
Oh no!
She had even tugged on Third Brother's sleeve. She wanted to die of embarrassment.
Feng Youdan used the excuse of tidying herself up to hurry away. Before leaving, she made sure to bring Suisu and the others along, fearing that Liuxin might still be angry and take it out on her little friends.
Suisu, confused, looked around and politely nodded at Liuxin before following the other girls.
Liuxin felt that Suisu's eyes were as round as the grapes grown in Zhuangzi.
Unfortunately, the grapes there were still unripe, small, and green.
He reminisced about past years when the grapes would turn purple and round, juicy and tempting just by their appearance.
Suisu's eyes...
They possessed a liveliness and spirit that those purple-black grapes lacked.
She was indeed a very pretty young girl.
Liuxin watched as the group left, secretly relieved. After a short break, he hurried forward with his servant in tow.
He had been in the front yard earlier, and his original intention in coming to the back courtyard was to pay his respects to his aunt.
However, on his way back, he had run into Feng Youdan.
Now that he had finally resolved that matter, Liuxin felt much more relaxed.
Suisu accompanied Feng Youdan to freshen up and then returned.
Liuxin had already left, leaving Feng Youdan a little disappointed. "Third Brother wouldn't say much either. It's so frustrating."
Suisu, not wanting to see her sister-in-law upset, thought for a moment and suggested in a soft voice, "The lotuses in the mansion are in full bloom. Would you like to go and take a look, sister-in-law?"
Feng Youdan had no interest in lotuses. What couldn't be found in the palace?
However, facing Suisu's pretty, round eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, and finally, she nodded. "Alright, let's go take a look."
The group headed to admire the lotuses.
After enjoying the lotuses, Suisu led them to see the small garden of the Princess Consort of Qi.
This area was located in the back courtyard and wasn't easily accessible to others.
If Suisu hadn't been their guide, it would have been impolite for the others to intrude.
The small garden was well-tended, thanks to the dedicated gardeners in the mansion.
Although the Princess Consort's attention had been focused on Suisu lately, the gardeners ensured that the flowers and plants were always in pristine condition.
Now, in the peak season, the various flowers bloomed with vibrant colors, creating a stunning display.
As Feng Youdan gazed upon this garden of flowers, her mood gradually improved.
The children refrained from plucking the flowers but instead examined them closely. Yingzhi then suggested they play with bamboo dragonflies.
Yingzhi loved playing with these little toys. She had played with Suisu before and also with Feng Youdan.
Feng Youdan's interest in this toy was mild at best.
However, since Yingzhi wanted to play, she didn't object.
The girls formed a circle, with Feng Youdan in the middle, holding hands with Suisu on one side and Yingzhi on the other.
Next to Suisu was Feng Xuanrui, followed by Feng Xuanbin, Liu Hemeng, and Shen Huatong, with the last person being Yingzhi.
Once they were in position, it was Feng Youdan's turn to spin the dragonfly.
After spinning, the other girls would need to chase after it, and whoever caught it would be the next to spin.
This was a game that Yingzhi had come up with. After explaining the rules, she saw that everyone had no objections, so Feng Youdan began to spin.
However, the first attempt was a failure.
The dragonfly took flight but ended up spinning in a circle and landed at Feng Youdan's feet.
Feng Youdan: Huh?
Feng Youdan pouted, her soft and chubby cheeks puffing up involuntarily. She instructed her maid to pick up the dragonfly, and she spun it again.
The second attempt was a success.
The bamboo dragonfly flew off swiftly, and Feng Youdan laughed as she shouted, "Chase!"
Qingzhi yelled and ran after it enthusiastically.
Shen Huatong, who was holding her hand, was almost pulled away by her sudden movement, causing Liu Hemeng to be startled and pull her back. "Are you alright?"
Shen Huatong was indeed startled, but it turned out to be a false alarm, and she was unharmed. She shook her head at Liu Hemeng's concern. "I'm fine."
Yingzhi ran after it alone, but the others naturally didn't feel at ease, so they followed suit.
As a result, the bamboo dragonfly flew too far, and as they chased it, they ended up in another area.
In that area, several young masters were playing with spinning tops. Hearing the commotion, everyone looked up, and among them, He Dai spotted Suisu.
His eyes lit up brightly when he saw her.
The young boy had a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes. Due to his young age, these eyes didn't carry a suggestive or coquettish look, but they were still very captivating.
At that moment, his bright eyes shone as he rushed forward, his chubby little face looking rather amusing.
Upon seeing He Dai, Feng Xuanrui immediately became guarded and shielded Suisu behind him.
But He Dai paid no heed to this and happily ran towards them, shouting, "Fiancee, I'm here!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Feng Xuanrui felt his vision darken.
This was bad!
Why did they have to run into He Dai here?
And how shameless was he?
They had already rejected him!
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuanrui spread his arms, protecting Suisu while also puffing out his little stomach, and said sternly, "He Dai, think about what you're saying. This is my sister, not anyone's fiancee."
Hearing this, He Dai didn't get angry. After rushing over, he stopped and politely bowed to Feng Xuanrui. "Greetings, Big Cousin. I hope you are well."
Feng Xuanrui: Huh?
Are you asking for a beating?
Feng Xuanbin, who was hiding behind him, couldn't take it anymore. He poked his little head out and whispered, "Teach him a lesson, Sixth Brother!"
Suisu was their sister, and they wouldn't allow anyone to take her away.
They should teach him a lesson!
Feng Xuanrui was indeed seething with anger.
However, today's banquet was hosted by their mansion, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to make a move.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and suppress the restless Little Seven, opting to speak sternly instead. "He Dai, your reckless words could tarnish my sister's reputation!"
Hearing this, He Dai seemed to ponder for a moment.
After a while, he finally nodded. "Ah, yes, yes, yes. I didn't consider that. I apologize, Cousin."
The young boy had no filter when it came to speaking, but he knew his manners and rituals well, and he appeared very well-behaved.
However, Feng Xuanrui glared at him, feeling extremely displeased!
Suisu, who didn't understand these intricacies, peeked out from behind her brother and saw that it was a familiar face. She smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, He Dai."
He Dai: Suisu, your He Dai is here~
Suisu: Don't come over here!
The second update will be at 7 PM.
