Chapter 401: Rainy Day Fun
Chapter 401: Rainy Day Fun
Without sending anyone to investigate, Jingyangzi Manor had confirmed Suixui's identity.
Why?
Duke Ling couldn't understand, and he felt that if his mind wasn't clever enough, he should find someone smarter to analyze the situation and see what was going on.
Princess Qi was also confused, and Prince Xing was equally perplexed after hearing the explanation.
They knew without investigating?
Did the Chen family explain?
Prince Xing voiced his confusion, and Duke Ling shook his head, "No, I sent people to test the Chen family's background, but they don't know what's going on either. When the fake items were returned, they were also confused."
The Chen family didn't say anything, and the Xu family didn't investigate, but they still found out?
That doesn't make sense, does it?
The three of them looked at each other, equally puzzled.
Finally, they decided to ask His Majesty in the palace.
However, it was getting late, and it wasn't convenient, so they decided to wait until the next day.
The next day, a light rain fell.
Suixui woke up early to find it raining, and she was initially excited.
After breakfast, she held her brother's hand and sat in the corridor, watching the rain.
As she watched, the surroundings became too damp, and with the summer heat, Suixui felt uncomfortable and started to dislike the rain.
The rainy day made the roads slippery, so Duke Ling sent someone to inform Master Shen that there was no need to come over.
Hearing about the cancellation, Feng Xuanrui was the first to cheer, "Great, great, I'll get the ball, let's play ball."
Their ball wasn't big, just the right size for indoor play.
Suixui enthusiastically raised her hand in agreement, "Yes, yes, I like the ball, brother!"
With her sister's support, Feng Xuanrui proudly raised his head.
Feng Xuanbin walked with his short legs to get the ball, happily pulling Feng Xuanbo along.
Feng Xuanbo didn't feel like moving; on rainy days, he just wanted to sleep.
But Feng Xuanbin was full of energy, and he was afraid of stretching Little Seven's arm, so he eventually half-dragged, half-led him.
Princess Qi prepared the guest hall for the children to play in.
The rain outside wasn't heavy, and Princess Qi watched for a while before attending to some tasks at hand. Then, she went to check on Lady Guo.
Lady Guo was now showing her pregnancy, but it wasn't very noticeable.
Given her young age and it being her first pregnancy, Princess Qi was extra cautious.
It had been over seven years since a child was born in Duke Ling's Manor, so everyone was eagerly anticipating the upcoming birth.
Especially for the aunties who had never given birth, this child was a source of great anticipation.
Perhaps the backyard was too boring, and having more children running around was a way to pass the time or a form of entertainment for them.
So, harm the child?
That's impossible!
On one hand, they dared not, and on the other, they indeed needed some excitement.
Princess Qi brought some fabrics and jewelry, carefully inquiring about Lady Guo's recent physical and mental state, as well as the diet and instructions from Doctor Liu.
Lady Guo had passed the initial phase of anxiety and uncertainty after learning about her pregnancy.
Now, her mindset was relatively calm, and her focus had shifted from the Duke to the child.
Thinking back, Lady Guo found it incredible that she had been occasionally happy and sad due to the Duke's comings and goings.
However, thankfully, she had gotten through it, and Lady Guo felt relieved.
Now, with her and the child doing well, she was much more at ease.
After thanking the Princess, Lady Guo carefully described her physical condition, and only then did Princess Qi leave.
(End of Chapter)After the Duchess left, Lady Guo heaved a soft sigh and murmured, "I'm also blessed."
She had encountered a gracious and magnanimous mistress.
Perhaps it was because the Qi Manor had few children, so they cherished each one.
But it was also because the Duchess of Qi was inherently gentle and kind, treating her concubines with exceptional generosity.
After the Duchess finished her duties in the inner court, she went to check on the children.
When she arrived, the little ones were engrossed in their play, fighting over a ball.
Suixui tightly hugged the ball, and her brothers couldn't directly snatch it from their sister, so they pushed and shoved each other.
Feng Xuanbin was small, but he had the weight advantage.
Thus, relying on his weight, he managed to secure a decent position.
Feng Xuanbo was thinner, and Feng Xuan Jie wasn't particularly strong either.
So, the two of them were at a disadvantage, and after exchanging a glance, they formed an alliance.
They were ineffective on their own, but together, they were a force to be reckoned with.
The alliance of the two brothers indeed gave them an edge over the little fatty, Feng Xuanbin.
The chubby boy wailed, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, save me! They teamed up, ah, ah, they're so mean!"
Suixui stood there, holding the ball, looking dazed as she watched her brothers jostle each other, leaving her at the back, well-protected.
Suixui: ?
Is this how you play ball?
I'm here, and the ball is here. Why don't you come and grab it?
Suixui, feeling left out of the game, pouted in slight disappointment.
The Duchess of Qi noticed this and smiled, gesturing to Feng Xuanrui, "You're playing like this, and your sister isn't happy."
Feng Xuanrui had just been pushed by Feng Xuanbin, causing his shoe to come off, and he was about to retrieve it.
Hearing the Duchess's words, Feng Xuanrui instinctively turned his head and met Suixui's teary eyes.
Seeing her expression, Feng Xuanrui's heart raced, and he spread his arms and rushed over, "Sister, I'm coming to get the ball! Run, or the big black bear will eat you!"
At first, Suixui thought her brother was going to hug her, and she smiled with narrowed eyes.
But when she heard his words, Suixui's smile froze, and she turned and ran.
The little girl ran with all her might, her footsteps pounding loudly, creating a rhythmic and loud noise.
Hearing this, the Duchess of Qi thought to herself, "The children have gained weight. Just from the sound, I can tell they're well-fed."
Gaining weight is good!
The hardships of the past will eventually fade away.
Suixui will have a better tomorrow.
As Suixui turned and ran, her brothers also reacted.
Feng Xuanbo, who was holding back the crowd, struggled to control Feng Xuanbin, muttering, "Little Six is so cunning, too cunning!"
Hearing this, Feng Xuanbin didn't bother to push against Fifth Brother and turned to chase after Suixui, "Sister, I'm coming!"
His voice was particularly loud, and when Suixui heard it, she felt as if a sound pierced her heart and reached her head, energizing her entire being.
She almost lost control and dashed out of the living room, into the rain.
Far from feeling annoyed or angry, Suixui found this amusing. She turned back and shouted with a smile, "Seventh Brother, come and get me! I'm running so fast, so fast!"
The last three words were almost roared out with all her might.
The children's voices were crisp and resonant.
Suixui's shout seemed to trigger something in the others.
The brothers couldn't control themselves, and a chorus of screams and roars filled the room.
