Chapter 348: My Fiancée, I'm Here!
Everyone persuaded and finally managed to cheer Feng You Tan up.
After being cheered up, Feng You Tan had red eyes and asked unwillingly, "Second brother... sniff, will he be alright?"
Lù Yǐnxiāo's scalp went numb as he nodded slightly: "Just a slight wind-cold, not serious."
According to the doctor, it's just pent-up frustration causing internal heat to rise to the throat; after taking the medicine and resting a bit, it will be fine.
However, Lù Yǐnxiāo shouldn't explain such things too much.
If he explains too much, Feng You Tan will overthink and think this matter isn't over yet.
Hearing Lù Yǐnxiāo say that, Feng You Tan reluctantly considered it satisfactory.
After her bout of crying, her face was truly a mess; Ying Zhi urged her to tidy up a little.
Feng You Tan didn't refuse, but she didn't want to let Lù Yǐnxiāo go so easily.
However, before she had relied on sheer reckless courage, but now seeing Lù Yǐnxiāo standing there, proper and somewhat mature, Feng You Tan unconsciously grew nervous.
What did she do in her excitement? Ahhh!
She even grabbed her third brother's sleeve—oh dear, it's terrifying.
Feng You Tan used tidying herself as an excuse to leave hastily, and before leaving she didn't forget to pull Sui Sui and the others along, fearing Lù Yǐnxiāo would get angry later and drag the little companions into it.
Sui Sui didn't understand, looked around, politely nodded at Lù Yǐnxiāo, then followed the other young ladies.
Lù Yǐnxiāo felt Sui Sui's eyes were round like the grapes grown at Zhuangzi's place.
Unfortunately, the grapes at Zhuangzi's place weren't ripe yet, still green and small.
Thinking back to previous years when the grapes matured, they were purple and round, tender and juicy, just looking at them made them seem delicious.
Sui Sui's eyes...
Compared to those dark purple grapes, they had more spirit and vitality.
A very lovely little girl.
Lù Yǐnxiāo watched the crowd depart, secretly sighed in relief, paused a moment, then led his attendant forward in haste.
He had been in the front courtyard before; coming to the back courtyard was just to pay respects to his aunt.
As a result, on his way back he ran into Feng You Tan.
Now having finally gotten past that, Lù Yǐnxiāo's mood also relaxed considerably.
Sui Sui accompanied Feng You Tan to wash and tidy up, then they returned.
Lù Yǐnxiāo had already left; Feng You Tan felt a bit disappointed: "Third brother won't say more either, how annoying."
Sui Sui didn't want to see her older sister suffer; after thinking, she softly said, "How are the lotuses blooming at the residence? Would you like to go see them, sister?"
"What doesn't the palace have?" Feng You Tan also had no mood to look at lotuses.
But upon seeing Sui Sui's beautiful round eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse; finally she nodded: "Alright, let's go take a look."
Everyone then went to look at the lotuses again.
After viewing the lotuses, Sui Sui again led them to see the Mother Consort's small flower garden.
This area is located in the back courtyard; others would find it inconvenient to enter.
If it weren't for Sui Sui showing the way, others would hardly dare to intrude rudely.
The Princess Consort of Qi's small flower garden is well tended.
Although her attention lately has been focused on Sui Sui, the residence has a dedicated gardener who naturally takes good care of the flowers, grasses, and trees.
Moreover, it's the right season now, and all kinds of flowers are blooming extraordinarily brightly and beautifully.
Feng You Tan looked at the fresh flowers in this garden, and her mood gradually improved.
The children didn't mischievously pick the flowers; after observing carefully, Ying Zhi suggested everyone play with bamboo-leaf dragonflies for a while.
Ying Zhi really liked playing with these little trinkets; she had played with Sui Sui before, and also with Feng You Tan. Feng You Tan's interest in this thing was optional.
However, since Ying Zhi wanted to play, she didn't object.
Several little girls formed a circle, with Feng You Tan still picking people, holding Sui Sui in one hand and Ying Zhi in the other.
Next to Sui Sui was Feng Xuanrui, then Feng Xuanbin, Liu He Meng and Shen Hua Tang, finally circling back to Ying Zhi.
After positions were set, they started spinning the dragonfly from Feng You Tan.
After spinning, the other girls needed to chase; whoever caught it would be the next to spin the dragonfly.
This was a method Ying Zhi had figured out; after explaining the rules and seeing no objections, Feng You Tan began to spin.
The result: the first attempt failed.
The dragonfly flew up, then spun in place and fell beside Feng You Tan's feet.
Feng You Tan:? Feng You Tan was unwilling to accept it; her soft, tender, round bun-like face unconsciously puffed up, she had the maid pick up the dragonfly and spin it again.
The second attempt finally succeeded.
The bamboo-leaf dragonfly shot out fiercely, and Feng You Tan laughed and shouted, "Chase!"
Qing Zhi shouted loudly and dashed out in pursuit.
Shen Hua Tang, who was holding hands with her, was almost pulled along; Liu He Meng grabbed her anxiously, asking, "Are you okay?"
Shen Hua Tang was indeed startled, but it was just a false alarm, nothing happened; hearing Liu He Meng's question, she shook her head: "I'm fine."
Ying Zhi chased after it alone; naturally everyone was worried, so they all followed.
As a result, the bamboo-leaf dragonfly flew too far; they chased and chased, ending up at another place.
There, several young masters were playing with spinning tops; hearing the commotion, everyone looked up, and then He Dai in the crowd saw Sui Sui.
Upon seeing the person, He Dai's eyes lit up suddenly.
The young lad had a pair of gorgeous peach-blossom eyes; being young, they didn't look flirtatious, yet they were still quite beautiful.
At that moment, his bright eyes came rushing over, matching his chubby little face, making it rather amusing to watch.
Feng Xuanrui, upon seeing him appear, instantly felt like facing a great enemy, and directly shielded Sui Sui behind him.
He Dai paid no attention to these things, happily rushed over, and shouted loudly, "Fiancée, I'm here!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Feng Xuanrui felt his vision go dark! Damn it!
How did I run into He Dai here? And does He Dai have no shame? They clearly refused already! Thinking of this, Feng Xuanrui opened his arms, protecting Sui Sui while also puffing out his little belly, and said loudly, "He Dai, think before you speak—this is my sister, not anybody's fiancée!"
Hearing this, He Dai wasn't angry either; after rushing over, he stopped, politely bowed to Feng Xuanrui, and said, "Elder brother-in-law, I offer my respects."
Feng Xuanrui:?
"You must be looking to die!" Feng Xuanbin could no longer listen; he poked his little head out from behind and whispered, "Take care of him, Sixth Brother!"
"She's theirs—who dares to snatch her? Just take care of him!"
Feng Xuanrui really couldn't tolerate it either.
But today they are holding a banquet at their residence; if he makes a move, the impact wouldn't be good.
In the end he could only grit his teeth and restrain the restless Little Seven, then solemnly said, "He Dai, talking like this will affect my sister's reputation!"
Hearing this, He Dai fell into thought.
After a moment, he finally nodded, "Ah, yes, yes, I hadn't considered that; it was my fault for being rude."
The young lad has no filter in his mouth, but his etiquette is impeccable, seeming extremely proper.
But Feng Xuanrui found him extremely displeasing to look at!
Sui Sui didn't understand these things; she peeked from behind her brother, saw it was an acquaintance, and laughed, "Oh, it's you, older brother from the He Clan!"
He Dai: Sui Sui, your Dai has come~ Sui Sui: Don't come over! The second update is at 19:00.
