Chapter 351: Children's Squabble
Chapter 351: Children's Squabble
Hearing Sui Sui's voice, He Dai immediately grinned and moved closer, "Sister Sui Sui, it's your brother!"
He Dai thought to himself, why call him Brother He Dai when he is simply her brother!
Not only did He Dai move closer, but he also took Sui Sui's hand.
Feng Xuanrui, standing beside them, was about to explode with anger, "Don't you dare! You're not allowed to touch my sister's hand, you outsider!"
Before He Dai could respond, Feng Youtan pushed her way through, using her weight advantage to forcefully separate He Dai from Sui Sui, "You scoundrel, let go of my sister! She's mine!"
Usually a playful pair of cousins, they had now become bitter enemies!
Seeing that it was Feng Youtan blocking him, He Dai gritted his teeth and pretended to be fierce, "Sister, whose side are you on?"
Hearing this, Feng Youtan rolled her eyes and bluntly exposed him, "Hmph, am I still your sister? Don't you already have a new sister? Do you still need this old sister?"
He Dai: ...
Speechless, but still wanting to argue.
Ying Zhi, annoyed by their bickering, quietly pulled Sui Sui away, "Never mind them, let's play."
Feng Youtan quickly followed, "I want to play too! I want to come too!"
He Dai had a few young masters following him, and seeing that they were about to leave, they quickly joined in, "Sister Sui Sui, wait for me! I want to come too!"
Feng Xuanbin watched He Dai's figure and whispered to Sixth Brother, "Sixth Brother, we should've taught him a lesson earlier!"
It wouldn't do to cause too much of a ruckus, after all, they had to consider the face of both mansions.
And today, they were the hosts, so it wouldn't be appropriate to cause a scene, especially since He Dai was still their guest.
Feng Xuanrui also had her concerns, which was why she let He Dai off the hook for now.
Hearing Feng Xuanbin's words, Feng Xuanrui grit her teeth, "After the banquet ends, let's teach him a lesson!"
Feng Xuanbin immediately nodded in agreement.
He Dai felt a chill down his neck for some reason, but looking at Sui Sui walking in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a row of pearly whites, looking rather dopey.
When Sui Sui heard the commotion and turned her head, she was met with He Dai's goofy grin.
Seeing He Dai like this, Sui Sui paused for a moment.
He Dai was an expert at seizing opportunities, and upon noticing Sui Sui's gaze, he smiled even brighter, "Sister Sui Sui, don't worry, I'll protect you. I'm very strong!"
As he spoke, He Dai imitated the tutor's actions, raising his arms to showcase his strength.
Unfortunately, with his baby fat, even when he lifted his arms, the flesh on his arms didn't look taut, but rather soft and squishy...
It would probably feel nice to touch?
Somewhat like a steamed bun.
Sui Sui thought to herself, but she also acknowledged that it was quite an achievement to have so much chub.
Sui Sui looked on enviously, and after stealing a few extra glances, Feng Youtan pulled her back, "Sui Sui, don't look at that scoundrel cousin of yours. He's so naughty, he even wet the bed last year! How embarrassing!"
He Dai: ?
You're not my sister, you're my ancestor!
That incident last year was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!
Don't ruin my reputation out here.
I still have to get married one day! He Dai felt like pinching his waist in frustration and yelling, but he couldn't bring himself to scold Feng Youtan, so he could only sulk as he trailed behind.
After walking and bickering for a while, they bumped into another group of children.
Upon recognizing one of them, He Dai almost lashed out, "You coward, Xu Nanchen! Always running to tattle when you lose a fight! See if I don't beat you up today!"
He Dai immediately spotted Xu Nanchen among the crowd.
Previously, the two had gotten into a fight, but the other party couldn't beat him and ended up reporting it to their parents, causing him to get a scolding from his family.
Because of that scolding, he had been tied up that day, and no one had paid him any mind, thinking he was simply reflecting on his actions indoors.
Damn it!
Thinking back to the events of that day, He Dai felt his anger rising, and he clenched his teeth.
He wanted to take action directly, but the young masters beside him hurried to dissuade him. "Hey, we can't do that, Young Master He. It's not appropriate for us to fight."
"Yes, yes, let's go outside if you want to fight."
"They outnumber us; it's not wise to pick a fight."
...
After all, they were at someone else's banquet, and if things got out of hand, it wouldn't reflect well on them.
Their previous fight had occurred when they went horseback riding in the suburbs and happened to cross paths with the other group, leading to a confrontation.
Feng Youtan was, of course, aware of He Dai's previous encounter.
Now that she saw the culprits, she knew exactly where to direct her anger.
Finally, she had found the perfect opportunity for revenge. The young girl waved her hand vigorously, fanning the flames of conflict. "Why can't we fight? If this princess says we can fight, then we fight! Let's go, He Dai! If you don't fight, you're not my cousin!"
"How can you prove your bravery if you don't fight?"
"You're not even a real man; how will you ever get married and have children?"
"Cousin, you're not going to back down, are you?"
...
Feng Youtan, a seasoned brawler, knew exactly how to provoke her cousin and fan the flames of his anger.
With her well-chosen words, she successfully reignited the fury that He Dai had barely managed to suppress.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Feng Xuanrui quickly stepped forward to stop it.
Unfortunately, he wasn't as sturdy as He Dai, and the other boy's chubby arm barred his way. If Feng Xuanrui hadn't been quick to steady himself, he might have been pushed away by the force of the other boy's arm.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Feng Xuanrui regained his balance and was about to step forward to intervene when he saw He Dai surge forward.
Xu Nanchen had not gotten the better of He Dai in their previous encounter, and now, seeing He Dai charge at him, he turned tail and ran.
Following close behind him was a group of children, both boys and girls.
The older ones naturally wanted to flee.
The younger ones, ignorant of the potential consequences, still wanted to rush forward.
The forward-charging group collided with those trying to retreat, causing chaos and disarray in their ranks.
This created an opportunity for He Dai.
Seeing that there was no chance of escape, Xu Nanchen had no choice but to turn around and shout defiantly, "I'll fight you, He Dai!!!"
In the crowd, there was a short and chubby boy who stood out due to his stature.
He was one of those who had eagerly charged forward without a second thought.
At that moment, he was also waving his chubby little fists at He Dai, ready to join the fray.
He Dai's companions saw this and knew they had to act. If He Dai were to get hurt, they didn't dare to imagine the consequences from the Concubine in the palace, let alone the treatment he would receive from the Elder Madam and Madam He back home.
So, with a battle cry, they charged!
Sui Sui almost got separated from the group in the chaos, but Feng Youtan eagerly rushed forward. Liu Hemeng also kept a vigilant eye on the situation, and the two of them worked together to protect Sui Sui.
Seeing that his sister was safe, Feng Xuanrui joined forces with Feng Xuanbin to help break up the fight.
If things got too intense, it would be challenging to de-escalate the situation afterward.
