Chapter 43: Father is right, little sister is wonderful
Chapter 43: Father is right, little sister is wonderful
By the time Prince Qing returned, it was already morning of the following day.
He must have had a busy night.
Seeing his return, Doctor Liu hurried forward and asked, "What happened? Did you catch them all?"
Doctor Liu didn't care about the identities of those who dared to harm the six young masters of their princely mansion—they all deserved to die!
Prince Qing had indeed been busy throughout the night, and the results were quite satisfactory.
Hearing Doctor Liu's question, Prince Qing nodded and said, "We caught them all. The brothel corresponding to the old prostitute is not in the small town but in the county seat, so we went there and caused a stir."
After briefly explaining the situation, Prince Qing furrowed his brows and asked, "Does Prince Qi's mansion have a concubine with the surname Zhou?"
He knew the surnames of Prince Qi's wife and two concubines.
However, he had never paid attention to the concubines due to their lowly status.
Hearing this, Doctor Liu vaguely understood something. He also furrowed his brows and asked, "Is there a connection between the brothel and the princely mansion?"
After asking the question, he thought about the situation in the mansion and nodded, "There is indeed a concubine with the surname Zhou in the mansion. She is the birth mother of the Seventh Young Master."
The birth mother of the Seventh Young Master?
Prince Qing was surprised and nodded, then furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
Before he could come up with anything, Feng Xuanrui came running, wearing an outer robe and bare feet. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "What did that stupid woman related to Feng Siseven do? Are they in cahoots with the villains from yesterday?"
"I knew that Feng Siseven's mother is not a good person. When we return to the capital, I will ask Father to drive them out!"
"Feng Siseven usually has a treacherous look. He's so bad!"
...
The reason Feng Xuanrui had secretly followed Prince Qing's group and left the capital was that he had fought with his fifth brother, Feng Xuanbo, and even broken his head. At that time, the seventh brother had been cheering from the sidelines.
Frightened, Feng Xuanrui had fled with his men.
It was just a playful fight between the two children, and there was no real grudge.
So, after shouting, Feng Xuanrui asked worriedly, "Is it really related to that stupid Seventh Brother? Prince Qing, you must investigate carefully. I think that although the Seventh Brother is a bit stupid, he's not an extremely bad person, and he shouldn't have such bad relatives."
As soon as Feng Xuanrui heard that Prince Qing had returned, he had rushed over barefoot.
Di Jiao couldn't keep up with him and was still behind.
At this moment, after finally catching up, she helped him put on his shoes and tightened his robe, then persuaded him to return to rest.
But Feng Xuanrui refused. He was still concerned about Feng Xuanbin's stupid relative.
Those villains had almost harmed him!
However, if they were indeed related to Feng Xuanbin's family, Feng Xuanrui felt that he couldn't be soft-hearted and let them off the hook.
But out of consideration for their brotherly bond, he could...
Well, not tell them about this matter.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Di Jiao used her secret weapon and said, "Su Su will wake up soon. She'll be sad if she doesn't see her brother."
Nothing else could stop Feng Xuanrui at this moment, except for his little sister.
Hearing Di Jiao's words, Feng Xuanrui forgot about Feng Xuanbin's villainous relative and turned to run toward the back courtyard.
When Feng Xuanrui returned, Su Su had just woken up.
As soon as she opened her eyes and didn't see her brother, she pouted sadly.
Before she could cry, she saw Feng Xuanrui returning.
Su Su smiled happily again and excitedly opened her arms, rushing toward Feng Xuanrui and calling out, "Brother!"
Feng Xuanrui was delighted by this affectionate address of "brother." With a beaming smile, he strode forward, hugged Su Su first, and then helped her change clothes, wash up, and apply medicine.
Because they woke up late, they could only make it in time for lunch.
After lunch, Feng Xuanrui was still uneasy and took Su Su's hand to find Prince Qing.
However, Prince Qing was not around.
Su Su asked in confusion, "Why are we looking for Uncle?"
Feng Xuanrui thought that he would be taking his sister back to the mansion, and it would be necessary for her to get acquainted with the people in the Wang Palace.
With that in mind, although Feng Xuanrui was somewhat reluctant, he was willing to make an effort for his sister and carefully introduced the people in the mansion to her.
He led Su Su back to their seating area and, after some contemplation, began his introduction: "Sister, there are many people in our mansion, some of whom may seem a little foolish, but they're not too bad and can barely be considered useful."
"Aside from me, there are several other brothers in the mansion, and you should probably get to know them as well."
"Remember, I'm the best among them. The others, from the first young master to the seventh young master, are just so-so."
...
As Feng Xuanrui introduced the others, he didn't forget to secretly disparage his brothers.
Su Su didn't quite understand, but she thought about how the brothers often bickered and played pranks on each other, and she seemed to grasp the gist of it.
She nodded along, agreeing with some points and shaking her head at others.
Whenever she seemed unsure, Feng Xuanrui's smile would widen, and he would say, "None of that is important. Just remember that I'm the best."
Su Su nodded obediently, "Brother is the absolute best!"
Those words were all it took to win him over.
Prince Qing had left the mansion again around noon and didn't return until evening.
He had mentioned earlier that if he was too busy, he might not come back that night.
With Doctor Liu and Zhan Yuan guarding the inn, there was nothing to worry about.
In the afternoon, upon learning that Su Su couldn't read, Feng Xuanrui took it upon himself to teach her.
He recited, and she listened intently.
The simple Three-Character Classic was brought to life by Feng Xuanrui's expressive recitation, making him sound like a storyteller from a teahouse.
Doctor Liu listened with a twitching forehead, but Su Su was completely engrossed.
From time to time, she would enthusiastically clap her hands and exclaim: "Brother is so amazing!"
"Wow, brother knows so much!"
"Oh my, brother is the absolute best!"
...
The more Su Su praised him, the more Feng Xuanrui hammed it up.
Later, he even had Su Su recite with him: "Sister, let's recite together, 'Of human life, the initial nature's good!'"
Su Su obediently followed along, and with the encouragement of her brother, her voice grew louder and more confident: "'Of human life, the initial nature's good!'"
Feng Xuanrui listened by her side, unable to hold back his smile. "Sister, you can skip the first part if you want."
Su Su clapped happily, her eyes sparkling, "But I like reciting with brother."
The sparkle in a child's eyes outshines even the brightest stars on a clear night.
Feng Xuanrui watched her, his eyes softening, and called out, "I also like my sister the most! I like you the very, very best!"
After saying this, Feng Xuanrui turned to Su Su, "And you must like me the most too, sister!"
Su Su nodded earnestly, "Mm-hmm, Su Su likes brother the most! Only brother!"
Having naturally picked up the art of coquetry, Su Su added, "I like the first young master, the second young master, and all the way to the seventh young master, but I like brother the very, very best!"
"Liking someone the very, very best" was probably the most flattering phrase.
Feng Xuanrui was completely charmed by her words.
He thought: Father is right, my little sister is truly wonderful!
I like my little sister!
Brother is the best! Brother is the most amazing!
