Chapter 431: Love Built a High Wall (Main Text Complete)

Sui Sui actually could understand this kind of thinking.

Fifth Brother hasn't come back for a long time; the one who worries most is actually the parents far away at home.

As Ren Ce Fei, the other's mother, how could she not worry?

Moreover, Fifth Brother's marriage prospects are not going well; Ren Ce Fei might also look for the cause in herself.

Thinking of this, Sui Sui sighed helplessly: "Three months ago, I received a letter from Fifth Brother, saying he was in Lai Prefecture, heading toward Qiong Zhou."

Prince Qi really didn't know where his little Fifth was these days.

When the other returned for the New Year, then left and there was no news.

Every time Prince Qi thought of him, he couldn't help but get angry.

Sui Sui saw that after she finished speaking, Father King's face grew darker, but his ears perked up, so she knew Father King still kept Fifth Brother in his heart, he just couldn't let go of his pride to ask.

Princess Consort of Qi naturally also understood, smiling and saying: "Your Fifth Brother loves you the most; knowing you miss him, he wanted to write you a letter, but the road to Lai Prefecture is far—reaching the Northwest already counts as good."

Sui Sui knew Father King kept Fifth Brother in his heart, so she quickly replied: "Fifth Brother really does dote on me; he said he's doing well in Lai Prefecture, tasted the food, saw the scenery, and supposedly met a girl full of heroic spirit, but as for any further development between them, it's not clear."

Princess Consort of Qi heard that and, hearing there was a girl, her thoughts instantly lit up: "If she really is a martial heroine, that's not bad; Fifth Brother's physique is still slender, and if he could get a lady's protection, that would also be a kind of fulfillment."

Prince Qi, after hearing that, let out a dissatisfied cold snort: "Back then I made him train hard, but he's always lazy; now his weak physique—what's that supposed to mean?"

At this moment, the elder sisters-in-law couldn't interject; they could only glance at each other sideways and pretend to be busy.

Elder Sister-in-law Wen subtly signaled the wet nurse to bring the two children over, to distract Prince Qi's attention.

However, Princess Consort of Qi also knew Prince Qi wasn't really complaining; he was just being stubborn.

She smiled gently and said: "Fifth Brother's physique these two years of training outside isn't weak; otherwise, those martial heroines wouldn't have noticed him."

Sui Sui echoed: "Indeed, during the New Year, I saw Fifth Brother and he was noticeably stronger; when we sparred with Seventh Brother, we fought to a draw."

Although there was the situation of Lù Yǐnxiāo letting him win at that time.

But in fact, Feng Xuanbo now also looks slender, yet his physique isn't weak; otherwise, if he'd been wandering outside alone for several years, nothing would have happened—what is he relying on?

It's just his own ability.

Prince Qi, hearing that, felt a little better, waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about that unfilial son; talk about us being good—has the border war started again? Why do you look thin? And dark."

Sui Sui felt she wasn't tanned, about to speak, but Princess Consort of Qi dissatisfiedly said: "Where is it dark? Our Sui Sui is fair, always fair."

Prince Qi, being rebutted, didn't get angry, hehe laughed: "Yes, yes, I misspoke; our good child is the best. But he's definitely thin; Little Fourteen doesn't know how to raise kids like I do, look how you've raised our good child."

Prince Qi not pulling down Prince Qing makes him feel very uneasy inside.

Sui Sui has long been used to these years; this time she didn't retort, only smiling and said: "Then Father King, please help me make up for it."

Prince Qi, hearing that, felt satisfied; Sui Sui's willingness to respond and echo meant she cared about this father king.

This round, he won.

Hehe, hehehehe!

Prince Qi happily waved his arms: "Don't worry, Father King recently learned two more dishes; tonight I'll show you a hand, guaranteeing you'll eat till your little belly bursts!"

Prince Qi these past few years has been resting and recuperating, with nothing to do, and the residence keeps adding members, so he found something to do for himself.

He followed an imperial cook preparing to return home for retirement, learning to cook.

At first his skill was truly not up to par.

Later he gradually improved.

But his talent is limited; when he exerts himself, it's only about that level, really can't raise the upper bound much, relying entirely on everyone giving him face.

Prince Qi also knows this in his heart, but he enjoys this feeling.

At least, he still has something to do.

And the children are the most giving of face.

While speaking, outside came the noisy clamor of the children.

The residence these past few years has added many members; previously there was also an Eighth Young Master Feng Xuanchong.

So, nowadays the residence's Small Classroom, although it no longer has the former elder brothers, is still very lively.

Just now, they happened to be coming home from school.

At this moment, they had just finished school and were returning.

Before even reaching the reception hall, they heard Little Aunt had returned, each one happily jumping up and down.

Feng Xuanchong and his young nephew and nieces are about the same age; toward this older sister Sui Sui, they are mindlessly supportive!

Who dares say his sister is bad?

Feng Xuanchong can rush forward to scratch the other at the first moment; if he can't beat them, what then?

Even if he can't beat them, he must harden up!

Anyway, losing the person doesn't mean losing the formation.

Rush forward and counterattack, then he wins.

When the school ended and they heard the sister had returned, Xiao Pangzi happily rushed back: "Sister, I'm here!"

Guo Yiniang's original intention was for the child to be fair and plump, easy to raise; ideally the child would survive and grow up, so that she would have someone to depend on in the Wangfu, and her life would have something to look forward to.

Madam Guo's original intention was to have the children white and fat so they'd be easy to raise; ideally they'd stand and grow, so she'd have a reliance in the residence and her days could have hope.

Then Feng Xuanchong latched onto the "fat" physique and couldn't stop.

This might also be because Prince Qi has been practicing his cooking skills these years, while Feng Xuanchong doesn't dislike Father King's cooking being bad, accepting all comers.

Xiao Pang really can eat a lot, isn't picky, is easy to raise—just give him a bite and he's happy.

At this time, Xiao Pangzi, over nine years old, happily trotted back on his chubby legs.

When he ran, the ground seemed to tremble.

His nephew and nieces are all younger than him; at this sight of little uncle rushing, they also rushed.

A group of children came rushing in a clamor, the wet nurses and aunts couldn't keep up!

【61】 Sui Sui heard the commotion, stood up, and then was launched forward by Xiao Pang; if not for Sui Sui's years of guarding the border, constantly practicing martial arts, with a steady lower stance, she might have been knocked straight into the pillar.

Xiao Pangzi obviously also knew, older sister's strength is strong, she really charged over.

This is a solid Xiao Pangzi.

As soon as he squeezed in, other children couldn't get any space.

Sui Sui was instantly surrounded by the children.

"Older sister, older sister, I've missed you."

"Auntie, auntie, you smell so nice."

"Auntie, I like you."

"Auntie, have I grown taller?"

……

The little children were chirping and a bit noisy.

But Sui Sui didn't find it hard to accept.

She even liked this lively, bustling atmosphere; it constantly reminded her that she had grown up in love, and that many people loved her, cared for her, and protected her.

She was no longer the poor little thing who, in the village, had to scrape by on her own.

She had grown up, already possessing the ability to protect herself, and also had many, many family and friends who cared for her.

Now, when recalling childhood events, Sui Sui felt that those painful memories had become increasingly fuzzy, and they occurred to her less and less often.

Only an offhand mention would make Sui Sui recall, oh right, she had once had a painful and pitiful past.

But Sui Sui would soon realize.

It's past, all past.

Happiness diluted the suffering, love built a high wall.

And Sui Sui would be happy and content within that wall, at peace and smooth.
