Chapter 215: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 215: "Father wants a hug, okay?"
Suisui groggily woke up and saw her mother by the bedside. Tears of grievance immediately fell from her eyes.
Qi Wangfei had been worried about her child. When she saw Suisui awake but not speaking, she clutched the little girl's clothes and cried, unable to control her own tears.
Trying to keep her emotions in check, Qi Wangfei gently patted the little girl’s back, saying, "Suisui, don’t cry. Don’t be afraid. Mother is here, right here, don’t be scared."
Thinking this reassurance might not be enough, Qi Wangfei quickly lifted Suisui into her arms and comforted her.
The little girl had been burning with fever for a day and night. Now she looked frail, her complexion pale and her lips discolored.
Qi Wangfei's heart ached, and her tears flowed uncontrollably again.
When Prince Qi saw that his child had woken up, he squeezed over.
Concubine Ren was somewhat annoyed with him but, after a moment’s thought, still made way.
Concubine Meng followed suit when she saw Concubine Ren make room.
Once Prince Qi got in, he smiled and asked, "Suisui, are you feeling better? Is there anywhere else that hurts? Do you want something to eat? There’s some fragrant millet porridge warming on the stove."
Seeing her father, Suisui recalled the incident of being dragged into the water by Che Lingzhi the day before and remembered hearing her trying to blame her upon waking up.
Tears of grievance started flowing again as she cried softly, "Mother, I didn’t push anyone, I didn’t."
Suisui had been wronged so many times in the past that she often remained silent, enduring it all.

But now, things were different. She felt she had her mother’s love and protection, and that she could express her grievances.
Lele also encouraged her to speak up, saying she could do it.
She thought that she had to give it another try to see if it would work.
She couldn't give up hope because of her past difficulties.
Suisui believed her mother was different from others.
So, she felt she should try.
The little girl leaned against Qi Wangfei's shoulder, sharing her grievances from the previous day.
Fearing others wouldn’t believe her, Suisui repeatedly insisted, "I didn’t, Mother, I really didn’t."
In the past, Suisui often said the same, but no one believed her.
Now, she still said it, unsure if anyone would believe her.
With a mix of grievance and stubbornness, the little girl clung to Qi Wangfei’s neck, wanting to press herself tightly against her mother, hoping to gain some sense of security.
Qi Wangfei's heart nearly broke upon hearing Suisui's voice filled with grievance.
She thought she had been too gentle in the past.
It was because of that softness that those people didn’t take the rules of the royal household seriously, nor did they value her cherished daughter.
From now on, things would be different!
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Qi Wangfei's attitude slowly began to shift.
She gently patted Suisui's back, her voice slightly choked yet still warm, "Don’t worry, Suisui. Mother believes you. No one can wrong the child of Mother, no one!"
After saying the last sentence, Qi Wangfei shot a fierce glare at Prince Qi.
Prince Qi had been watching with worry and looked pitiful.
Feeling the glare from Qi Wangfei, he was somewhat confused but didn't dare to ask further.
After all, Concubine Che and her niece had come to the household because of him.
Recalling that wicked family made Prince Qi grind his teeth in anger.
He echoed Qi Wangfei’s words, "Yes, yes, I’m here, no one can wrong our Suisui."
Hearing her mother say she believed her and would protect her, Suisui’s tears of grievance flowed even more.
She hugged her mother’s neck and began to sob again.
In that cry, there was grievance, but also a sense of being touched.
If one listened closely, there was perhaps a hint of relief in it.
Perhaps it was a different kind of relief from always being wronged and having no one to believe her before.
Suisui thought that she had her mother’s love and her father’s belief.
The hardships of the past, she would choose to forget.
She just didn’t want to see those people again.
She only wanted to hold onto her mother tightly.
With those thoughts, Suisui clutched her mother even more, trying her best to control her strength to avoid hurting her.
Feng Xuanrui and the others, hearing the commotion, crowded around, concerned and chattering questions.
"Little sister, little sister, are you feeling better?"
"Little sister, we found a little foal! When you grow taller, you can ride it!"
"Little sister, I carved a little rabbit for you, it looks great!"
With so many children gathered, the noise increased.
Qi Wangfei felt surrounded by the constant mention of "little sister" and found it comforting.
The fact that the child was awake and seemingly okay put her at ease.
As Suisui was enveloped by her brothers' voices, her crying gradually subsided.
Especially when Feng Xuanrui squeezed over and handed her the carved little rabbit he had snatched from Feng Xuanjie.
Suisui couldn’t help but show a little smile, "Brother, this is beautiful."
Feng Xuanrui beamed back, "See? See? Third Brother carved it overnight. If you like it, he can carve you more in the future. His skills are excellent. If not, Fourth Brother can do it too; he’s also good."
Feng Xuanjie, who was previously disregarded, didn’t mind and looked at his sister with concern.
He thought that children were truly fragile and he needed to pay more attention to her.
With so many children around, the atmosphere lightened.
Qi Wangfei also felt her heart ease a lot. She signaled Aunt Xiang for the porridge.
After the incident yesterday, Aunt Xiang felt quite guilty.
She thought that if she had been more careful, those two wouldn’t have found an opportunity to act.
Today, Aunt Xiang was particularly diligent.
Before long, a bowl of millet porridge with kudzu root powder was brought back.
Qi Wangfei personally blew on it to cool it down before feeding it to Suisui.
Suisui had just woken up and hadn’t fully recovered, so she didn’t have much strength or appetite.
But with so many people around her, all looking at her with concern, Suisui felt that if she missed a bite, her mother would cry.
When she had cried out her grievances, she hadn’t thought much about it.
Now, seeing her mother’s red eyes, Suisui felt heartbroken.
She didn’t want her mother to cry; she wanted her mother to always be happy.
So, Suisui obediently let her mother feed her. Even though she had no appetite, she ate bite after bite.
Eventually, even Physician Liu couldn’t bear it any longer: "Just half a bowl is enough. Any more, and her stomach won’t handle it. She might throw up later."
Upon hearing this, Qi Wangfei hurriedly withdrew her hand and handed the porridge to someone else. She took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Suisui’s mouth, then pulled the child back into her arms.
Prince Qi looked on enviously. Because he felt guilty yesterday, he didn’t dare to claim her.
Today, however, he was in the right.
It was his daughter; how could he not hug her?
With those thoughts, Prince Qi squeezed over, extending his arms toward Qi Wangfei, "Father wants a hug, okay?"
