Chapter 375: Truth Hurts

He Dai's remark directly hit Feng You Tan's sore spot; the little girl was already feeling wronged.

As soon as those words were spoken, Feng You Tan could no longer hold back and burst into tears with a 'wa'.

The aunts rushed forward to comfort her; He Dai also took a step back in fright, thinking the child hadn't said anything wrong, still scratching his head, and added another jab: "Ah? I wasn't telling the truth? Why are you crying?"

Feng You Tan: …… Kill them, kill them all! Damn cousin, I'll assassinate you tonight! Feng You Tan cried, feeling utterly wronged; Sui Sui watched from the side, at a loss.

Feng Xuanrui, afraid his sister would be scared, stepped forward, pulled her to his side, and softly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, she's just a crybaby, that's why she's crying."

Feng You Tan:? Feng You Tan felt she shouldn't have left the palace today.

Wuu wuu, they're bullying her, everyone's bullying her!

The aunts coaxed her, and Ren Shu Han, like a little adult, also managed to quiet He Dai and the others, so they stopped talking; finally Feng You Tan was calmed.

The kids quickly made up and then went on to play ball.

The children played for half a day, and the luncheon also began.

The adults ate and drank, socializing back and forth.

The little ones happily shared this and that.

Sui Sui couldn't wait to share with the brothers: "This is delicious, brother."

"This is also delicious, brother."

"This is so thin, brother, amazing."

……

The little girl chattered away, not loudly, speaking softly to Feng Xuanrui.

Feng You Tan had been angry, and because she hadn't seen her second brother, she had little appetite.

Moreover, she had eaten all the delicacies in the palace, so she wasn't very interested in the food at the Fǔguó Gōng mansion.

Watching Sui Sui eat with her cheeks puffed out, Feng You Tan finally felt a bit of interest: "Adorable, truly adorable."

Feng You Tan said while reaching out a finger to poke.

Sui Sui didn't get angry when poked; her mouth was too full to speak, so she used her round eyes that seemed able to talk to signal Feng You Tan, her gaze seeming to say: "Yo yo sister, you should eat, it's delicious."

Delicious food, double the joy! Feng You Tan originally had little appetite, but seeing Sui Sui eat happily, she wanted to try some too.

After eating back and forth, it was still just those few flavors; in fact, there wasn't really anything remarkable.

After the meal, the adults listened to opera and chatted.

The children gathered again to play.

Under normal circumstances, at this time Sui Sui should be going to sleep.

But when the little ones gather together, who has the mind to go to sleep?

So, full of energy, they gathered around the pond to play.

On a hot summer day, the aunts were uneasy, so they kept the children playing in the pavilion, guarding the pond, borrowing the cool breeze from the water's edge to dispel some of the heat.

The children didn't feel the place was too cramped to move about.

Playmates together always have some different ideas.

Feng You Tan still kept Lu Yin Song in her heart.

Besides the gift on the surface, she actually had another gift hidden in her bosom that she wanted to give her second brother.

But her second brother wouldn't see her.

This made Feng You Tan feel very uneasy.

After the meal, the little girl's spirits weren't very high.

Sui Sui didn't understand her sister's sorrow; seeing the brothers were going to catch fish, she happily followed along.

The Lu mansion had many small fishing nets and such, so they didn't need to prepare anything extra; they just needed to have the servants bring them over.

Sui Sui played with the brothers for a while, then couldn't help asking: "Last time I came, I saw an older sister; why isn't she here this time?"

Sui Sui said while gesturing: "So tall, so pretty, looks very heroic!" Feng Xuanrui initially didn't understand, thinking she was asking about Lu Xue Rou, and was about to reply that she was indisposed due to a cold and not receiving guests.

But after looking more closely, Feng Xuanrui realized it was wrong and immediately understood that Sui Sui was asking about Lu Lian Rong.

Feng Xuanrui actually wasn't sure where the person had gone, but normally, when Lu Yin Song celebrates his birthday, his female cousin should make an appearance, right?

Feng Xuanrui didn't understand, so he turned to ask the older Ren Shu Han.

Other matters, Ren Shu Han might not know, but for this she did know, and quickly replied: "She and her elder brother went to West Prefecture to visit their maternal grandparents' family; they set out a few days ago, reportedly because the maternal grandfather is unwell."

Sui Sui realized she didn't understand.

She looked blankly at her brother; after thinking, Feng Xuanrui explained: "Their maternal grandfather is ill, so they went to visit relatives."

This time Sui Sui barely managed to understand.

She now also has a maternal grandfather, who is at the Song mansion.

The understanding Sui Sui lightly nodded: "I know about the maternal grandfather, I have one too!"

The little girl, mentioning this, was also quite proud.

Feng Xuanrui saw his sister happy and also smiled, rubbing Sui Sui's head.

The children's focus quickly shifted to looking at the fish that had been caught.

After tossing about for half a day, clothes were wet and people were tired.

Sui Sui quickly followed Ren Shu Han and Aunt Xiang to change clothes; after changing, Feng You Tan's whereabouts were unknown, and her aunts and two maidservants were also missing.

Sui Sui blankly looked at Ren Shu Han.

Ren Shu Han had a guess but didn't want to tell Sui Sui, only smiling and saying: "Maybe she's tired and went to rest."

Actually, most likely she wasn't giving up; she went to look for Lu Yin Song, or went to his courtyard.

However, last time the other party brought Sui Sui along, which almost implicated Sui Sui.

This time, she simply didn't bring anyone else and bravely went alone.

Ren Shu Han actually doesn't understand very well Feng You Tan's kind of liking.

However, everyone's preferences and choices differ; Ren Shu Han feels they don't understand, but will respect.

And even if they don't respect, what can she do?

She is a princess! Sui Sui is easy to coax; although she feels a little upset that YoYo sister goes to sleep without greeting her, there are many little companions around, so she quickly can't pay attention to Feng You Tan's side.

And the kitchen prepared some iced drinks, sour‑sweet, perfect for the kids to drink!

When Sui Sui catches the fragrant sweet scent and feels the icy breath, her eyes can't look away.

Thinking of Xiang Gugu's teaching, staring at the food would be impolite; Sui Sui occasionally also looks at other things.

But that smell darts into her nose like free money; how can a child resist?

Feng Xuanrui has already tiptoed to take a look.

Fortunately, the servant prepared quickly, and the little companions happily gathered around.

Iced fruits, sour plum soup, ginger honey water, shiso water…

There are many varieties; the children can, according to their preferences, have the servant prepare drinks for them.

Sui Sui has recently drunk all these in the manor.

Both iced and room‑temperature.

However, Lu Fu's flavor seems different from Wangfu's.

And regarding food, Sui Sui still gives full respect.

Even if it's just a bowl of drink, she still observes it seriously.

Second watch.
