Chapter 377: Raccoon Slave Jade Pendant

Sui Sui also didn't expect that her sincere exclamation would be spoken out loud, and that so many people heard it.

This made her a bit embarrassed, she pursed her lips; Sui Sui wanted to explain a couple of sentences, saying she had no other meaning, just a simple compliment.

But before she could speak, she heard Lù Yǐnxiāo's voice: "Thank you, Sister Mingxi, for the praise."

The young boy courteously clasped his hands and bowed, earnestly thanked, with a solemn demeanor, showing no hint of sarcasm.

Feng You Tan thought: "Really not angry?"

However, thinking carefully, Sui Sui's remark was indeed a compliment.

Although praising a young lord as pretty is a bit…

…indescribable.

But it's not wrong to say he's handsome.

Lù Yǐnxiāo is indeed handsome!

Even though he's still young, one can already glimpse a hint of the handsome elegance he'll have when grown.

Lù Yǐnxiāo graciously expressed thanks, and Sui Sui, unembarrassed, bowed again toward him and said, "Seventh Brother, you're too kind."

The situation rushed in a direction no one expected.

Lu Xinrou was so shocked her mouth couldn't close!

One should know that throughout the Residence, even elder brother Lu Yǐnchén didn't have the oppressive aura that Seventh Brother Lù Yǐnxiāo carried.

Lu Xinrou could still be a bit indulgent and act coquettishly before her elder brother, but in front of Lù Yǐnxiāo, who is younger than her, she dared not be reckless at all.

She constantly felt that if she let loose this second, she'd be snapped shut the next.

Seeing Sui Sui and Seventh Brother exchanging banter, Lu Xinrou was stunned.

She opened her mouth, looking around in surprise, when Lù Yǐnxiāo's voice sounded again: "Second Sister, why are you still here? Grandmother just called you."

Lu Xinrou felt a tightness in her back; at that moment she could no longer mind anything else, and hurried forward.

Lù Yǐnxiāo watched the person walk away, then turned, clasped his hands again and said, "Elder sister, apologies; Princess, please be lenient."

Feng You Tan:.

I was still hoping to coax some news about Second Brother from your mouth; how could I truly blame you? Moreover, since you've already said it like that, what else can I do?

Feng You Tan pursed her lips, not very happy, yet politely replied, "What is her status? What is my status? To argue with her? Give her face."

Feng You Tan, after speaking, couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Lù Yǐnxiāo didn't mind Feng You Tan's arrogance, lightly nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your leniency."

After a few more courteous words, Lù Yǐnxiāo left.

Before leaving, he patted Sui Sui's small hat and slipped a small gift into her hand.

Just before departing, Lù Yǐnxiāo explained gently, "A newly acquired trinket, for Sister Mingxi to play with."

Sui Sui was given a cute raccoon slave jade pendant, and she was still bewildered.

She looked up at Seventh Brother, then turned to look at her older brother, and, startled, forgot to thank him.

By the time she recovered, Lù Yǐnxiāo had already walked a short distance away.

Seeing she hadn't said thank you, Sui Sui felt it was somewhat rude, and hurriedly ran over.

Lù Yǐnxiāo heard the movement behind him, stopped in time, turned and looked over.

When Sui Sui was about half a meter away, she abruptly stopped, then bowed again, "Thank you, Seventh Brother."

Lù Yǐnxiāo waved his hand nonchalantly, "I just wanted to make Sister Mingxi happy; no need for formalities."

Sui Sui obediently expressed gratitude again.

Lù Yǐnxiāo, somewhat helpless, patted her head again, said he still had matters to attend to, and then left.

Sui Sui watched his departing back, thinking: Seventh Brother is truly a good person. They had barely met a few times, weren't especially close, yet he was willing to give her a small gift.

And the cute little raccoon slave looked so interesting.

Sui Sui quickly returned, unable even to drink, and kept examining the raccoon slave jade pendant.

It wasn't large; Sui Sui could barely grasp it with one hand.

The little pendant was crystal clear throughout, finely crafted, feeling smooth and comfortable to the touch.

After playing with it for a while, Sui Sui looked excitedly at Feng Xuanrui, "Brother, this is great!"

Feng Xuanrui watched his sister playing with gifts from others, feeling a slight pang.

However, her happiness mattered most, so when Sui Sui looked at him, Feng Xuanrui quickly smiled, "If you like it, later when I come across others, I'll find one for you, okay?"

Sui Sui nodded obediently, then took a sip of the shiso drink.

Delicious and refreshing.

Sui Sui thought, this summer feels so comfortable.

More comfortable than any summer before!

There is Father King, Mother Consort, and brother's friends.

There are many, many people who love her.

Sui Sui loves this summer!

On the other side, Lu Xinrou arrived at Lu Old Lady's side; before seeing Grandmother, she was taken by the aunt beside Grandmother to the Buddhist hall.

The aunt who led her said softly, "Old Lady says, if Second Miss wants to go to Zhuangzi to accompany Aunt He, she may pack up and go now; if not, first copy the Heart Sutra ten times in the Buddhist hall."

Lu Xinrou, feeling aggrieved, tried to argue for herself, but the aunt clearly ignored her; seeing she didn't pack or bow, she assumed Lu Xinrou intended to copy scriptures, so turned and ordered people to prepare the necessary items.

Lu Xinrou pretended to be pitiful to gain some sympathy.

Unfortunately, the aunt remained calm, her face showing peaceful compassion, her heart equally tranquil, giving her no concession.

Lu Xinrou, angry and annoyed, could only wipe tears and copy the Buddhist sutra.

When the banquet ended and Lu Old Lady saw off the last guests, turning back she softly asked the nearby Qi GuGu, "I heard that the courtyard has become restless again?"

This is about Lu Xinrou.

Her mother was sent off to Zhuangzi, and now she's still not behaving.

Qi GuGu quickly explained the whole matter.

After listening, Lù Fūrén furrowed her brows slightly: 'Did Xiao Ge'er go to lift the siege?'

Not only did he lift the siege, he also filed a complaint.

Old Lù Fūrén doted on this grandson greatly, so she struck out without mercy.

After hearing this, Qi GuGu was also quite surprised; she secretly guessed, uncertainly saying: 'I think our Seventh Young Master may like the little princess of the Qi Wang Fu.'

Of course, the liking between children does not involve the complex feelings of adult men and women.

Most of the time, it's that kind of affection between siblings.

There is a kind where someone else has a younger sister, I don't, so I also want to dote on that younger sister, feeling as if she were my own sister.

After listening, Lù Fūrén was stunned for a moment, then after thinking, she laughed and said: 'Actually, it's my fault; I should have given him a younger sister back then, so now he doesn't need to envy others.'

As soon as she said that, Qi GuGu hurriedly comforted her with a few words.

Lù Fūrén was just joking; she still doted on this young son greatly. After teasing with Qi GuGu, she lightly nodded: 'If Xiao Ge'er likes it, let him go; don't overly restrict him.'

If possible, Lù Fūrén actually doesn't want her young son to be too outstanding.

Back then, her son Song Ge'er was too outstanding, which aroused envy, and in the end he was harmed and had his legs broken.

Second watch.
