Chapter 128: Liu He Meng

Sui Sui really likes the new hat, but the morning meal is also very important.

So, when Mother Consort says so, she obediently follows to eat.

Feng Xuanrui and the others came early, saw Sui Sui's new hat, and hurriedly gathered around: "Sister, this one looks good!"

"This woven one looks good!"

"I also want it!"

……

The older brothers naturally showered praise.

Sui Sui, embarrassed, pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Feng Xuanbin is young, and his words have no real restraint.

Seeing the hat look good, he also wants it.

Xiang Gugu didn't respond, after all, Aunt Zhou was also involved.

So, she only pursed her lips and said nothing.

Princess Consort of Qi laughed and said, "Later I'll ask your mother if she can help stitch one for you."

Feng Xuanbin immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, go ask my mother!"

Aunt Zhou, because of matters back in her hometown of Wenzhou, was angry and fell ill for a day.

The next day, she forced herself to come over to pay her respects.

Aunt Zhou also feared being misunderstood; the Princess Consort only asked her to come over for a chat, how did she fall ill the next day?

If she truly couldn't get up, she wouldn't have wanted this.

So, once her body recovered a bit and she regained strength, she came over.

Aunt Zhou was grateful that, these past few days because of Sui Sui, Feng Xuanbin hadn't returned to her courtyard, so she didn't see her eyes reddened with crying, nor her worried, frowning look.

Aunt Zhou is already working hard to adjust her condition.

She thought, no matter how hard, she must hold on; she still has Seventh Young Master.

The group merrily ate breakfast; Sui Sui drank millet and yam porridge and also ate red bean roll buns.

After the meal, Feng Xuanrui and the others went to class.

Feng Xuanbin is habitually addicted to skipping class; today he kept thinking about the pretty hat, turning back to look with every step.

If Princess Consort of Qi hadn't been watching closely, he really would have fled the class!

However, in the end he didn't manage to escape and honestly went to class.

The people from the Grand Princess's residence hadn't arrived yet, so Princess Consort of Qi first went to look for Liu Dafu, hoping to see if he had brought his granddaughter over.

Liu Dafu entered the residence early today, naturally to check Sui Sui's health.

The little girl's health is poor, so he must keep a close eye on her, to see how the care is going.

At this moment, he is in a side hall of the front courtyard, arranging medicinal herbs.

At this time, the chattering little girl beside him, named Liu He Meng, is Liu Dafu's granddaughter.

The little girl talks a lot; watching her grandfather arrange herbs, she alternately says this is herb, that is white bamboo, then complains the smell of this medicine is unpleasant, and asks what that one is used for.

The little girl is only seven, yet her talent in medicine is already unmistakable.

Liu Dafu feels both proud and worried.

He is proud that his granddaughter's talent is good and can inherit the old Liu family's scholarly tradition.

What worries him is…

The little girl is overly lively, making it hard for her to sit quietly for long periods to study carefully.

He fears Mengmeng will waste such talent, ultimately failing because of her lack of concentration.

The little girl had been to the Wangfu before, so the Wangfu is not unfamiliar to her.

Today she came over, hearing her grandfather say she was to accompany a little sister.

At this moment, the little sister hasn't arrived, Liu He Meng became a bit anxious: "Where's the sister? Why hasn't she come yet?"

"She isn't sleeping in late, is she?"

"Ah, if that's so, it'd be too embarrassing; I don't sleep in either."

……

The little girl really talks a lot, and her voice is also very loud.

While Liu Dafu was arranging herbs, he would occasionally glance over and show a satisfied smile.

Obviously, regarding this eldest granddaughter, Liu Dafu is both pleased and fond of her.

When Princess Consort of Qi came over holding Sui Sui's hand, she heard Liu He Meng speaking loudly.

Hearing the little girl's resonant voice, the Princess Consort's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

She thought, having a lively little girl is also good; she can help Sui Sui become a bit bolder.

Hearing the commotion at the gate, Liu Dafu noticed Princess Consort of Qi arriving, quickly grabbed Liu He Meng's hand, and went to bow and greet.

After standing, he exchanged a few simple pleasantries, then pulled Liu He Meng over and introduced, "Sui Sui, this is Mengmeng Jiejie."

Liu He Meng's name is a single medicinal herb; the family didn't give her a separate nickname, so they just call her Mengmeng.

Grandpa Liu is still very kind to her; when Sui Sui sees someone, she politely greets first, then looks at Liu He Meng standing not far ahead of her.

The sister's eyes are big and bright, and she is very beautiful.

Liu He Meng sports a cute little hair bun, with a pretty pink silk ribbon tied on.

The other's hair is shiny and dense; Sui Sui watches and feels envious.

She thought, when her hair grows long, it should be like this, right?

Holding that fantasy, Sui Sui politely smiled at Liu He Meng: "Hello, Mengmeng sister, I am Sui Sui."

Sui Sui's voice also had a soft, childlike milky tone.

Upon hearing it, Liu He Meng felt her heart about to melt.

Liu He Meng's mother had given birth to her and her brother; she had also once wished for her mother to bear another sister.

Unfortunately, her mother's health was damaged when giving birth to her, and for many years afterward she never conceived again.

A younger sister had become a fantasy and an extravagant desire.

Now, hearing Sui Sui call her "sister," Liu He Meng's eyes lit up and her heart came alive.

She thought, "Isn't this just my real younger sister?"

Wuu—!

Just looking at her is adorable!

Liu He Meng couldn't help herself, stepped forward two steps, gently touched Sui Sui's soft little face, her smile bright and cheerful: "Hello, little sister. I'm Mengmeng Jiejie; just call me sister, Sui Sui."

What Mengmeng Jiejie?

It's just the sister, a real sister!

If you want a little sister, you gotta be shameless.

While she's still young, just snatch her away!

Hey, by the time she grows up and realizes, it'll be too late.

She's already Liu He Meng's little sister—could she possibly run away?

No, she must not!

The more Liu He Meng thought about it, the more she felt her plan was splendid.

Fate is a strange thing.

Because of her aunt, Liu He Meng had also met Ying Zhi and even played together.

However, the two girls would start fighting as soon as they met; if it weren't for the Grand Princess's status, they would have come to blows.

In Liu He Meng's view, Ying Zhi is cute.

But as a little sister?

Only a dog would want such a little sister.

No, insist on not having her!

Ying Qiao Qiao isn't cute at all.

Unlike Sui Sui, who is soft everywhere—touching her feels like touching a soft cloud in the sky.

Liu He Meng felt that if she had a little sister, she would surely be like Sui Sui.

Like Ying Qiao Qiao…

She definitely wouldn't want that!

Thinking about a little sister, Liu He Meng then remembered she had been carrying candy in her pouch all along.

She had thought, if the little sister were cute, she would share some with her.

If not cute…

Then forget it.

She only eats a limited amount of candy each day, so she doesn't want to give any to a sister she dislikes.

Someone like Ying Qiao Qiao shouldn't even dream of getting a piece of candy from her.

Not even half a piece!

The second watch is at 7 p. m.
