Chapter 300: Adults are being so over the top!

Everyone in Lù Fūrén's household disliked Concubine He.

Just now, Aunt Lin heard the lady mention it and nodded slightly: "I heard she's feeling unwell, fainted, a doctor has already been called, and she's been carried out of the Buddhist hall."

Although disliked, Concubine He still held some place in Lord Lu's heart from earlier years.

Lù Fūrén, familiar with inner‑court tactics, naturally knew that if the opponent were simply killed, that beautiful memory of the deceased would linger forever in Lord Lu's heart.

Some people are more useful alive than dead.

Everyone in Lù Fūrén's household knows this principle.

So, knowing Concubine He had fainted, whether real or fake, they certainly called a doctor and gave her careful attention.

They left no means of torment unused, but they were just as thorough in their consoling.

Their main goal was to leave nothing for others to fault.

Lù Fūrén nodded lightly after hearing that, then quickly asked: "How is the Young Master of the Wei family doing?"

Aunt Lin quickly replied: "Past noon, His Highness had people send them back to the Marquis's residence, together with the Eldest Miss Wei."

After Aunt Lin finished, fearing the lord might not be at ease, she added: "It was Aunt Yu, a close attendant of His Highness, who personally escorted them back."

Among the Grand Princess's two trusted aunts, Aunt Yu was one of them.

Sometimes, the confidants of nobles and officials represent those nobles and officials themselves.

As long as the people at the Wei Manor aren't foolish, they understand what that means.

Would making the Grand Princess Her Highness dissatisfied also leave the people at the Wei Manor wondering if they'd panicked?

Lù Fūrén laughed after hearing that: "What Mother arranged is surely the best, but we can't let our guard down; we'll have someone keep an eye on things, so if anything happens over there we won't be caught unaware and blamed, the Wei family…"

Lù Fūrén didn't say the rest, merely biting her lips slightly, her attitude tinged with faint mockery.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin quickly responded, "Yes."

On the other side, Sui Sui was then sitting on Father King's lap, chatting about today's amusing incident: "Second Brother is Fourth Uncle, Third Brother is Seventh Uncle, Father King—should I call him Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Third Brother, or Seventh Brother?"

Some things are just ridiculously convoluted.

At the time, Sui Sui heard it but only half‑understood.

Now, saying it again, she still doesn't get it.

Because Sui Sui mentioned Feng You Tan and her companions, Prince Qi also knew exactly who she was referring to at that moment.

After a moment's thought, he lowered his head and asked Sui Sui: "What would you like to be called, dear?"

Sui Sui tilted her head, thought carefully, then shook her head: "I don't know either; I think whatever name we use, the older brothers have to agree."

Young children are kind‑hearted and always prioritize others' feelings.

Prince Qi thought, "That simply won't do!"

His daughter—what's wrong with being a little spoiled?

His Prince Qi residence certainly can afford to indulge her.

If it really comes to that, he'll just go to the palace and cry.

He doesn't believe his imperial elder brother would refuse to help him.

Thinking of this, Prince Qi reached out and gently tapped Sui Sui's head: "My dear, you don't need to worry about others; call yourself whatever you like, how others are is their business, your happiness matters most—Father King cares only about you, not about anyone else."

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

Oh no, the child is going to be spoiled rotten.

But the commandery princess of their residence is indeed someone they can afford to indulge.

Can't stand it?

Come hit me!

Princess Consort of Qi hesitated only a second, then joined the camp of indulging the child: "We'll go by Sui Sui's preferences; others' likes don't matter."

Feng Xuanrui:?

That doesn't sound right.

Mother Consort, you didn't used to educate me like this!

Feng Xuanrui furrowed his cute little brow, lost in thought.

He couldn't help but start doubting life.

This isn't right, is it?

Before, it clearly wasn't like this.

How come, when it comes to my younger sister, things have changed?

But after Feng Xuanrui thought it over carefully, he felt Father King's words were damned sensible.

Do others' opinions matter?

Feng Xuanrui looked at his little sister tilting her head, so adorable, and shook his head wildly in his mind: "Not important, not important."

My younger sister is the most important.

Others?

No need to worry about them!

Thinking of this, Feng Xuanrui reached out and gently touched Sui Sui's cheek: "Little sister, don't worry about others; from now on, follow my lead—call them whatever I call them."

Hearing his brother say that, Sui Sui's lovely round eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "YoYo Sis said the same thing!"

Hearing Sui Sui mention Feng You Tan, Feng Xuanrui unhappily pursed his lips: "Don't listen to that little madman Feng You Tan—her mind's not right, we won't play with her."

Sui Sui:?

Sui Sui blankly looked at her brother, then at Father King and Mother Consort, thinking: "YoYo Sis looks perfectly normal."

Although at times she looks angry, like a little piglet, she's not a bad person.

It's just that when she loses her temper, she can look a bit frightening.

But Qiao Qiao said, that's a princess, throwing a tantrum is normal.

Sui Sui looked around blankly, and Prince Qi's heart also tilted a bit.

Feng You Tan's disposition isn't good, and adding the Noble Consort He who raised her, that's also a domineering sort.

What kind of parents raise what kind of child; Feng You Tan's bad disposition is already to be expected.

But, when the imperial elder brother initially placed the child in Noble Consort He's palace to be raised, he made his attitude clear: as long as the child doesn't commit a capital crime of exterminating nine clans, even if she's a bit spoiled, it's nothing.

Sui Sui is small and soft-tempered; Prince Qi fears she'll be bullied if she plays with Feng You Tan again.

However, thinking that Feng You Tan rarely gets a chance to leave the palace, their opportunities to play together are actually few; Prince Qi nodded lightly: "Xiao Liu, watch your words, no matter what, she's still your sister."

Feng Xuanrui exploded upon hearing that: "I don't want such a sister!"

Last time she even pulled out a small clump of his hair, and he felt sore for several days.

Whose sister pulls a brother's hair without mercy, almost yanking out all his hair!

Princess Consort of Qi still remembers this matter.

Now hearing Xiao Liu bring it up, she couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

Meeting Feng Xuanrui's reproachful gaze, Princess Consort of Qi instantly turned serious again, pretending nothing happened as she tidied her hair.

She was busy, she didn't laugh, really she didn't laugh.

Oh no, I can't hold it in anymore!

But, I can't laugh.

If I laugh again, Xiao Liu will explode.

Although saying a child's explosive temper is cute.

But if it's always like that, we still need to coax.

Princess Consort of Qi strenuously restrained her expression.

Feng Xuanrui suspiciously looked at Mother Consort, staring for a good while before withdrawing his gaze, unhappily humming twice.

Prince Qi, influenced by Sui Sui's earlier remarks, couldn't help muttering upon hearing Feng Xuanrui's voice: "This sounds like a little piglet."

Feng Xuanrui:???

The youngster's accusing gaze hit in a second; Prince Qi was choked by that gaze, then after thinking, shifted his tone: "... still rather cute."

Feng Xuanrui:...

Hmph!

Even saying cute, I don't want to bother with you guys anymore.

You adults are being so over the top!

The second watch is at 19:00.
