Chapter 182

~7 min read 1,365 words

Song Bi didn't understand; why did her older brother say that?

She looked doubtfully at Song Kuan, then shook her head: "Second brother, I didn't lead the younger sister astray; the younger sister really smells nice, come smell her."

Song Kuan: ……

Even though he is a child, he knows you can't just go smell a young lady.

He is a male, he is a male!!!

Song Kuan was so embarrassed he didn't dare look at the two little girls.

Nevertheless, his feet honestly went to the edge of the pond.

Today's weather was still nice, the pond side wasn't cool, Song Kuan quickly waved his hand, letting the two sisters come over to watch the fun.

Song Bi really carried Sui Sui upright all the way to the pond's edge.

Now she really wishes she could add three or five more overnight, to make her happy happy!

Hearing Mother say this, Princess Consort of Qi's hanging heart could finally be put down.

With her natal family's support, even if the Prince truly unwilling, she has the confidence to acknowledge the child!

Mentioning the Prince, the old lady of the Song family tightened her brows and whispered: "Prince... hasn't returned to the residence yet?"

Sui Sui widened her eyes curiously, gently poked, felt the flesh there, and couldn't help laughing.

Even if she is the mother-in-law, Prince Qi is still a prince!

Some things, she also couldn't say too excessively.

Pat-pat, the little child who hadn't napped yet directly fell asleep from being patted.

After arriving, having steadied the person, she then proactively took Sui Sui's hand: "Little sister, look, we raise many fish here, they're plump, just not very tasty."

At the moment of parting, Song Bi cried loudly, Song Kuan also pursed his lips, tears rimmed his eyes; if it weren't for him being mindful of being a man, he would surely have cried too.

Knowing Prince Qi indeed hadn't returned to the residence, the old lady of the Song family's face turned slightly cold, but not wanting her daughter to suffer, she quickly adjusted her mood and spoke of other things while smiling.

In the past, she rarely personally attended to the two children; now she truly felt it, and for her two sons, a sense of guilt arose in her heart.

Sui Sui was well taken care of, and Song Bi fed her two pieces of preserved fruit.

At this moment, Zhou Shi involuntarily prayed in her heart: "Elder sister-in-law, please quickly nurse your health back; I really can't bear it!!!"

When Sui Sui smiled, she looked even softer and more poke-worthy; Song Bi could hardly control her hand.

Song Bi's concern was meticulous down to every detail, and from time to time she also worried that Sui Sui was tired and wanted to hold her.

So, when Mother asked, she just smiled and shook her head: "Not yet, probably just these next couple of days."

Such things, not to mention Song Bi, even the young masters of the residence have done them before.

Looking at Sui Sui's tear-streaked sleeping face, Princess Consort of Qi felt both heartache and relief.

Thus, there is also more flesh on the face.

Children are hard to raise, and even harder to bring along.

Upon hearing it was related to the Jin Yang Marquis residence, the old lady of the Song family couldn't help but furrow her brows.

She thought, tonight when she returns, she'll pick a piece of fabric and sew a sachet for Xiao Liu.

While the children were playing happily outside, Princess Consort of Qi had already had Mother dismiss everyone and briefly explained Sui Sui's origin.

If one minds it, who knows how many times one would have been angered to death over the years.

Now truly keeping Sui Sui by her side to raise, Princess Consort of Qi finally understood the meaning of that saying.

For convenience of transporting things, they temporarily brought an extra carriage back from the Song residence.

Zhou Shi was so busy her forehead sweated; at last she managed to keep an eye on the two children.

Obviously, few households in Jing Cheng like the Jin Yang Marquis residence, and the old lady of the Song family also doesn't like it much.

However, Xiao Liu has been away from Jing for over a month, finally returned safely; Prince Qi as a father didn't even show his face, which the old lady of the Song family finds somewhat excessive.

Sui Sui is just a little child; how could she decide these things?

The two little girls said they were going to look at fish, but ended up poking each other for fun.

The little girl cried piteously, evoking pity.

Thus, they also let Sui Sui poke her.

Zhou Shi busied herself front and back coaxing the two children, and also had to watch Song Bi this mischievous one, lest she not be watched and follow the carriage to the Qi Wang Fu.

Princess Consort of Qi heartbrokenly held the child, continuously patting Sui Sui's back gently, soothing her softly.

Thus, after Princess Consort of Qi finished her lunch and brought Sui Sui back to the residence, including all their luggage from the trip to Lanruo Si, they also brought back quite a lot of things.

The old lady of the Song family felt that Prince Qi, the older he gets, the more out of tune he becomes.

Song Bi extended her face over while actively inviting: "Little sister, poke poke, I'm soft and chubby, so fun!"

Princess Consort of Qi bringing the child back to the residence, these elders of the Song family will definitely prepare gifts.

When she poked, Sui Sui couldn't help but squint her eyes and laugh.

However, thinking of that pitiful child, the old lady of the Song family finally just sighed: "Well then, raise her properly; since the Jin Yang Marquis residence already has its own child, Sui Sui is ours. If the Prince unwilling to acknowledge, let her take our surname Song; our Song family is always blessed with good sons, another one is a blessing hard to come by!"

Watching Sui Sui eat, seeing her cheeks alternately puff out, Song Bi couldn't resist reaching out to gently poke once, then again.

Song Bi also said there: "Besides, the fish at Zhuangzi are much tastier; why not after noon we go to Zhuangzi to catch fish, then we can have them for dinner!"

While speaking, Song Bi shook Sui Sui's hand, also helped wipe her sweat, occasionally asking if Sui Sui was thirsty or wanted something to eat.

Now among the younger generation there are only two girls; the old lady of the Song family really feels it's too few.

Song Bi felt that just her poking Sui Sui alone was unfair.

Of course, she couldn't say that out loud.

Sui Sui also wasn't too willing to part with her two little companions; she boarded the carriage with a big bundle of tears, then leaned against Mother Consort and cried quietly.

Hearing him say that, Song Bi sighed with some regret: "Ah, what a pity, but looking at this fish isn't bad either."

Sweet and chewy, Sui Sui bit for a while before swallowing it down.

Sui Sui still hasn't spoken, Song Kuan reminded from the side: "This needs to be asked of the aunt; we need the aunt's consent."

Song Kuan: ……

They're just ornamental fish; please, let them go!

Song Kuan can't speak anymore.

Princess Consort of Qi felt that the Prince, who had been praying for a daughter for many years, had a somewhat abnormal mind, which was also understandable.

Princess Consort of Qi had actually gradually grown accustomed to the Prince's behavior and no longer minded it.

Song Bi felt she ate well, grew sturdy, and her body was fine.

The driver was a groom from Song Fu; just have the groom turn the carriage back, and there's no need to worry about the coming and going.

As for the eldest son……

Let Aunt Qiu look for some rare editions and such, to see if the other party might need them.

The second watch is at 19:00.
