Chapter 410: Seeking Self-Reliance is Better than Seeking Others
Seeing Lu Yinsong's deputy general, Lu Furen immediately understood the misunderstanding and hurriedly spoke up, "Fourth Young Master only injured his leg, and has some minor injuries on his body, but it's not serious!"
Lu Furen was so shocked that she froze, but upon hearing the voice, she regained her senses. She grabbed Xiang Gugu's hand and stood up firmly, moving towards Lu Yinsong, "Really... really?"
Lu Furen looked at her son several times, noticing the rise and fall of his chest, confirming that he was indeed breathing. It seemed that he had only fainted, and she finally slumped back to the ground.
Doctor Liu had already arrived, and Suixui was asleep with some superficial wounds on her body.
It was not convenient to examine the little girl's body in public, so Doctor Liu gave her a quick examination and then signaled Xiang Gugu to take the child back to the carriage for a more thorough check.
Lu Furen also prepared a doctor for Lu Yinsong.
The doctor carefully examined Lu Yinsong and then spoke, "We must hurry back. His arm bone is broken and needs to be reset and stabilized. The wound on his leg also needs treatment, but the bleeding has stopped. Although he lost a lot of blood, the fact that it has stopped is a good thing, and it's not severe."
Hearing the doctor say it wasn't severe, Lu Furen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about what the doctor said, Lu Furen curiously asked, "The wound on his leg has already been treated, but why did he faint?"
After inquiring about the situation from Prince Xing's Manor, Aunt Qi whispered, "I heard it was the Young Duchess who treated the wound."
Lu Furen was surprised and looked at her, "Suixui?"
Aunt Qi nodded.
Lu Furen was even more surprised, "That child is really good."
Hearing the praise for the child, Aunt Qi nodded, "Our Young Master is not bad either. I heard he was injured while protecting the Young Duchess."
Since Lu Yinsong was fine, Lu Furen naturally wouldn't take her anger out on anyone, especially...
No matter what, she shouldn't take it out on Suixui.
She was just a child, and those who coveted her were the real villains!
So, after hearing these words, Lu Furen nodded, "A brother protecting his sister is what he should do. Even with his injured leg, he still remembers to protect the young and old."
At this point, Lu Furen sighed softly, "Why doesn't this child know how to protect himself properly?"
The two families were busy and bustling, returning to their respective homes.
Suixui woke up during the journey, and although she had no major external injuries, there were several minor scrapes. Because her skin was too delicate and fair, the wounds appeared more frightening.
Xiang Gugu applied ointment to her wounds and held her in her arms, comforting her.
However, on the return journey, Xiang Gugu didn't have a chance to hold her, as Prince Xing held Suixui in his arms the entire way.
Perhaps it was the sense of security her father gave her, as the little girl tightly held onto her father's clothes and slept deeply.
Seeing Suixui like this, Prince Xing's heart softened.
Xiang Gugu felt terrible for not protecting the child well and was filled with self-blame.
She had been reflecting on whether her status as a widow brought bad luck, causing trouble for the child.
Princess Qi knew exactly what she was thinking.
The matter hadn't been fully investigated yet.
Moreover, no matter who took care of Suixui, they might encounter such situations.
Princess Qi had to admit that she was initially angry.
But now, thinking about it...
Xiang Gugu was indeed very attentive to Suixui, striving for perfection in every detail, from small hats to objects, and even the finest needlework.
Furthermore, her love for Suixui was genuine.
And Suixui also genuinely liked her.
So, Princess Qi only said a few words and didn't punish anyone.
Suixui's behavior was fine, but an accident occurred. A few words of scolding would suffice.
If they truly punish the people and hold resentment, they might take it out on the child. How could they not know that Suixui would suffer as a result?
Princess Qi thought about adding more people around Suixui.
The previous bodyguards seemed a bit dull and incapable of protecting her. She decided to replace them and add a few more.
Duke Ling had a similar idea.
However, Suixui still had her Daddy, and it was necessary to consult Prince Xing.
After listening, Prince Xing furrowed his brows and said, "It's better to rely on oneself than to seek help from others."
Duke Ling was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
Prince Xing pursed his lips and quickly made a decision, "Once the child recovers, I'll teach Suixui martial arts."
Duke Ling was furious, "Are you crazy? My soft and well-behaved Suixui, how can she do such rough work?"
Prince Xing also found it difficult to bear.
The little girl was so soft and delicate; who could bear to let her practice martial arts?
It was a path of hardship and suffering before one could achieve results.
However, Suixui had her own abilities and could better protect herself.
Thinking of this, Prince Xing gritted his teeth and ignored his reluctance, "Then what should we do? Rely on those dull-witted bodyguards?"
Duke Ling: ...! Well, it's not entirely appropriate to say that.
Those bodyguards actually had decent backgrounds.
But today, their reaction was indeed a bit dull.
However, this wasn't a reason to turn a soft lady into a mother demon!
Duke Ling wanted to say something more, but Prince Xing sighed helplessly, "Don't you think I'm worried about the child? But our child is different!"
Although Duke Ling hadn't told Prince Xing about Suixui's longevity, the latter wasn't a fool.
Previously, Suixui's sudden illness had helped her avoid danger.
Afterward, when Prince Xing added up the incidents, he quickly discovered the issue.
He chose not to speak about it to protect Suixui and prevent others from paying too much attention.
But what if others discovered the problem and tried to harm Suixui? Human hearts were unpredictable, and if Suixui was capable, she would have a better chance of avoiding these dangers.
Duke Ling found Prince Xing's words reasonable, but he still couldn't bear it.
He couldn't even bear to let Suixui get her ears pierced, and it had been delayed until now.
How could she practice martial arts?
However, not practicing didn't seem like an option either.
Duke Ling angrily pounded the carriage, "Damn it, I'll find out who did this!"
Prince Xing's teeth were clenched even tighter, "Rest assured, they won't live long."
How dare they harm his daughter?
Prince Xing thought...
Those people must have thought he couldn't wield a knife anymore.
He was injured, not dead.
The group hurried back to the capital. Madam Lu and Lu Yinsong returned to their manor, while Princess Qi expressed her concerns to Madam Lu, who, despite worrying about her son, didn't forget about Suixui, "Please inform me about the child's situation."
Princess Qi held her hand and nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, the same goes for you."
They soon parted ways and returned to their respective manors.
Suixui woke up not long after returning.
When she regained consciousness, she was still a bit dazed.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then let out a soft hiss.
Her neck was injured, and the movement caused pain.
Suixui raised her small hand to touch it, and Prince Xing, concerned, leaned down and asked, "Where does it hurt? Tell Daddy, and Daddy will blow on it for you."
Suixui's arm hurt, her leg hurt, her back hurt, and her neck hurt.
Although they were just bruises and minor scrapes, they were still quite serious for a child.
At that moment, Daddy opened his mouth, and Suixui immediately spoke in a soft voice, "Everything hurts, Daddy, blow on them all!"
