Chapter 405: Unexpected Incident in the Woods
Chapter 405: Unexpected Incident in the Woods
In response to the Princess Qi's inquiry, Lu Furen pointed towards the not-so-distant woods, "They say the air is fresher in the forest, so I let them go for a walk. There are people accompanying them, but I can't keep an eye on them all the time; otherwise, it would make him feel suffocated..." She sighed helplessly.
As she finished speaking, Lu Furen sighed again, feeling torn.
No matter how worried she was, she couldn't constantly keep watch over them. Otherwise, Lu Yinsong would feel pressured and refuse to meet with his family.
How could she not care about her own child? Despite her reluctance, she had to force herself to let go.
After listening, Princess Qi nodded, "Let the children be. Maybe by going out for a walk, he'll feel better and won't stay cooped up in his own courtyard in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Furen managed a smile and reluctantly nodded, "Hopefully."
She didn't want to dwell on this topic and, after some thought, glanced behind Princess Qi, asking softly, "Where's Suixui?"
Princess Qi pointed towards the woods, "She saw a butterfly and chased after it. Maybe she'll even run into Brother Song."
Upon hearing this, Lu Furen pursed her lips and smiled, "That child is a good one."
She really liked Suixui.
Mentioning her daughter, Princess Qi suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Lu Xuerou when she left the house.
Princess Qi curiously asked about her.
Lu Furen listened and couldn't help but laugh, feeling exasperated, "The other day, she bumped into something, and two bumps appeared on her face. They weren't noticeable, but she insisted they looked bad and refused to go out, even with a veil."
Princess Qi understood, "Girls care about their appearance."
As they spoke, they led their entourage towards the private compartment.
Both compartments were on the first floor, with windows offering a nice view.
However, being closer to the woods meant more insects.
Especially during the summer, the insect population increased.
Aunt Qiu had gone with Fourth Brother to fumigate the area, but it wasn't thorough, and insects still flew in from time to time.
One even landed on Lu Furen's face, startling her so much that she almost forgot her status and screamed! But she quickly composed herself, took a sip of tea, and calmed down.
Meanwhile, Suixui was already far away, chasing butterflies with her brothers.
There were still many butterflies in the summer woods.
The more Suixui chased, the more she saw, and she soon forgot which butterfly she had initially been chasing.
She happily chased after one butterfly after another.
Xiang Gugu followed closely behind, afraid of losing sight of the children.
Suixui's health had improved significantly, and she had good stamina and energy, running at a fast pace. If Xiang Gugu didn't keep up, she'd soon be out of sight.
Although the children were well-behaved, they could get carried away when playing.
Initially, Feng Xuanrui had been accompanying his sister, worried she might get lost.
However, he soon became distracted by the sound of cicadas.
Before long, Suixui and Lu Yinsong's group encountered each other.
Lu Yinsong politely nodded but didn't intend to say more.
Suixui respectfully greeted him, "Mingxi greets Fourth Brother."
Lu Yinsong had initially planned to ignore her, and his wheelchair had already rolled past Suixui.
But then, he reconsidered and turned back, his eyes lowered as he looked at Suixui.
Suixui curiously tilted her head, looking at Fourth Brother.
(End of Chapter)Fourth Brother was also very handsome, although he didn't possess the same stunning looks as Seventh Brother, he was still a dashing young man.
However, his complexion was a little gloomy, and there was no hint of a smile in his eyes, giving off a very cold aura.
Suixui felt that he might be a little unhappy.
The little girl's lively eyes curiously sized him up, and Lu Yinsong, for once, felt a little uneasy. He slightly furrowed his brows, adding a touch of coldness to his stern face.
If it were an ordinary child, they would likely have been scared to tears.
But Suixui's birth father was none other than Prince Xian!
How could she possibly be afraid?
She wasn't afraid at all!
Lu Yinsong turned back, intending to remind her, "You are the Princess, and it's my duty to bow to you. Even if I'm your Fourth Brother, I can't break the rules."
Suixui looked at him in confusion, "Huh?"
The little girl didn't understand at all.
She thought that brothers were supposed to bow to her since they were older.
Didn't Feng Youtan also bow to Fourth Brother?
So, what was wrong with that? Suixui was completely clueless.
Lu Yinsong looked at Suixui's innocent and ignorant expression, and as her clear eyes fell on him, he felt a little uneasy.
He had already stopped caring about how others viewed or spoke of him.
After losing the use of his legs, he had adopted a nonchalant attitude towards everything.
But facing Suixui's eyes and gaze, Lu Yinsong felt a bit uneasy.
At this moment, he vaguely realized that perhaps he couldn't truly let go of everything, ignore everything, and live solely according to his heart's desires.
Some things would still bother him, wouldn't they?
Seeing Suixui's bewildered and helpless state, like a lost little fox cub, Lu Yinsong fell silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted Suixui's shoulder, "Don't go deeper, it's not safe..."
He hadn't even finished saying the word 'safe' when six or seven black-clothed men suddenly emerged from behind the trees.
Their target was clear as they rushed towards Suixui.
At this moment, in this area, there was only Lu Yinsong and his attendant, Yuebai.
Suixui and Xiang Gugu.
Due to the mosquitoes in the woods, Xiang Gugu was worried, so she sent Nuandong to fetch the medicine bag, while Nuaxia went to pick flowers on the other side because Suixui liked the flowers in the woods. She was going to make a headdress for the young princess.
At this point, there were only four people here, and a little further away were Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin.
Lu Yinsong chose silence between calling for help and saving himself.
He grabbed Suixui, placing her on his lap, and then shouted, "Run!"
Xiang Gugu was startled and was reminded by Lu Yinsong's shout to get up, her legs feeling weak as she crawled and rolled to get outside for help.
She tried to call out, but her throat felt blocked, unable to utter a single word.
Yuebai was also startled, but as Lu Yinsong's attendant, he was quite skilled.
However, it was difficult to fight against multiple opponents, and their target was clear as they charged straight towards Suixui.
Lu Yinsong couldn't move his legs much, relying on his arm strength to protect Suixui while also considering the noise they were making, not wanting to alert Feng Xuanrui in the distance.
Over there were just two children and two useless attendants; startling them would only add to the trouble.
As Lu Yinsong pressed Suixui down in his wheelchair, he thought to himself with a touch of dark humor: He was truly unlucky; on a rare outing, he encountered an unexpected incident.
