Chapter 411: Not wanting to die, wanting to live

Prince Qi was dissatisfied, and Prince Qing was even more dissatisfied.

The two finally exchanged a glance, then sighed, "Good, our child is still young."

There is still plenty of time; we can consider it slowly.

After Sui Sui rested well, she was again a lively, active good child, showing no sign of any injury.

Of course, the bruises on her body certainly hadn't completely faded, but they no longer hurt, so the child didn't mind.

After Sui Sui rested at home for two days, she went out with Father King and dad.

Prince Qi and Prince Qing carried heavy gifts, personally went up to the gate of the Fǔguó Gōng mansion, and expressed gratitude to Lu Yin Song.

Lu Yin Song had been nursing his injury for several days, and his condition now looks good.

Moreover, he has been trying to reconnect with his family, no longer closing himself off, no longer shutting himself away in the small courtyard ignoring everyone.

The Lu family members are now so excited they don't know what to do.

The servants received a large batch of reward money, each smiling so broadly they showed teeth but not eyes.

Old Madam Lu had been ill and feeling unwell not long ago, but these past two days her mood improved, her body also became good, and when idle she could still stroll around a couple of times!

The entire Lu household was filled with joyous cheer.

Looking at this, Lu Yin Song also felt a myriad of emotions.

He thought, because of his leg injury, he had actually missed out on too much.

Originally, it shouldn't have been this way.

Such wonderful times, as long as he wishes, can be had at any moment.

However……

Sometimes, a person indeed needs to go through certain things before they can truly let go and see clearly.

He couldn't let go before, and it's not entirely his fault.

After such an event, falling from a heaven‑chosen prodigy to a good‑for‑nothing, Lu Yin Song thought that being able to muddle along alive was already quite good.

Moreover, he has already changed, he has already been moving toward a better direction.

Perhaps, it's not too late yet?

The wound on his leg is somewhat large; the doctor's advice is to let him lie still as much as possible, and move only after the wound heals.

Although Lu Yin Song's leg cannot move, shifting back and forth is also not conducive to wound recovery.

So, Lu Yin Song has been lying in bed these past few days.

Lu Yin Xi feared he would be bored, so from time to time he would bring a book over to read to him.

Lu Yin Song initially couldn't concentrate, but he thought that when Feng You Tan and Sui Sui had whispered earlier, they had mentioned that if he couldn't go to the battlefield, he could actually write a military treatise.

Putting his views, various understandings, and experiences down in writing.

Lu Yin Song used to think, what's the point of writing this?

His ambition lay elsewhere.

But now, upon reflection, it's actually all the same.

Although his experience might not be rich.

After all, he has never truly been on the battlefield.

However, he can ask Prince Qing, ask other generals, and the uncles who once led him; he can ask them all.

He humbly seeks advice; they surely would be willing to impart all they know, right?

Lu Yin Song wondered uncertainly, and then he discovered……

He could now listen to the book his younger brother was reading.

Just as he was about to speak, asking Lu Yin Xi to change books, he heard a servant report that Prince Qing and Prince Qi had arrived with the young county lady.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yin Song softly murmured, "Ming Xi has come."

Lu Yin Xi also stopped reading his book, turned his head and asked, "Fourth Brother, do you want to get up and take a look?"

Although the doctor ordered rest, occasional shifting is actually fine; if we assign a few more people, everyone being careful not to touch the wound, getting out of bed is also possible.

Lu Yin Song felt somewhat moved, but he also feared it would affect his recovery.

He now is not what he used to be.

Before, he loved to live vigorously; if not lively, then die.

Now……

Lu Yin Song has already begun to cherish his life.

His military treatise hasn't even started being written, and he hasn't yet left his name in history.

Death?

That won't do!

He must live, live well, live long and long.

Until the day he can't lift his pen and can't see the words!

Thinking of these, Lu Yin Song shook his head with difficulty: "Go help Fourth Brother check, how is Miss Ming Xi? I asked earlier, she should not have been seriously injured."

Lu Yin Xi nodded in agreement: "Okay."

In the midst of speaking, he already rose and walked outward.

After Sui Sui came over, she first paid respects to Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu.

Old Madam Lu learned from Madam Lu's mouth that Lu Yin Song's change might be because of Sui Sui.

Lu Yin Song himself also said, Miss Ming Xi is a very nice little girl.

Clean, interesting.

This has changed Lu Yin Song's thinking, opened his heart, and let him again accept the family's lovely little girl.

When the old lady of the Lu family saw Sui Sui, she was quite excited, but she tried hard to control her emotions, fearing to scare the child.

She thought, must not be too excited.

If she really scared the child, what would the fourth blame her for?

The old lady of the Lu family controlled as much as possible, then softly asked, "May I hold our lovely Mingxi?"

Before Sui Sui arrived, she had already heard from Mother Consort that the old lady of the Guó Gōng mansion is her grandaunt.

She can also call her grandaunt.

Everyone's relationship is close, so there's no need to be too particular.

At this moment, Gu Zumu asked herself, Sui Sui thought for a moment, then nodded generously: "Gu Zumu, you may hold me; Sui Sui wants you to hold me."

The little girl's voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of coquettish softness.

The old lady of the Lu family thought, the obedient, soft little girl is indeed lovable.

Before, because she was ill, she hadn't paid much attention to this child; it was her loss.

At this moment, Sui Sui agreed; the old lady of the Lu family stepped forward and lightly lifted Sui Sui up.

Such a tiny, light one; after the old lady of the Lu family held her, she slightly furrowed her brows and gave Prince Qi a glare.

Prince Qi:?

Ah?

Aunt, what do you mean?

Make it clear!

The old lady of the Lu family felt Prince Qi doesn't know how to raise a child, raising the little girl so frail.

However, not wanting Sui Sui to be unhappy upon hearing it, the old lady of the Lu family only gave a glare and didn't say more.

She held the light, thin little girl, softly asking what she had eaten today, whether she had snacks when she came, what she wants to eat or drink now.

The old lady of the Lu family's smiling expression looked kind and gentle.

Sui Sui was coaxed by her, turning her cute little head, she whispered: "I want to drink plum juice."

After hearing that, the old lady of the Lu family quickly smiled and nodded: "All right, Gu Zumu will have someone arrange it; Mingxi will be able to drink it soon."

The old lady of the Lu family coaxed the child, not giving anyone else a chance to intervene.

Lù Fūrén beside her was anxious, spinning around, but in the end couldn't even touch Sui Sui's hem.

Lù Yǐnxiāo came later; after entering, he first paid respects to the elders and the two princes, then stood to the side, and quietly smiled at Sui Sui.

Upon seeing the person, Sui Sui's round eyes instantly brightened: "Handsome Seventh Brother!"

Children don't hide anything; they say whatever comes to mind directly.

Sui Sui thought Seventh Brother was very handsome, so she subconsciously called him that.

Lù Yǐnxiāo, being called Handsome Seventh Brother, wasn't angry; instead, he gently stepped forward and bowed his hands to Sui Sui: "Mingxi younger sister."
