Chapter 229: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 229: Writing a Reply
The three girls, having washed their hands and applied fragrant balm, returned to bed. Already awake and unable to sleep, Liu Hemeng got up, washed her face, and adjusted her hair before joining them.
The three young ladies began discussing making paper kites. Suisui had previously attempted it with her brother, but the kites turned out quite ugly! This brought back memories of the river lanterns they’d made before, and Suisui remembered that she still wanted to write a letter to Brother Ronglin and Sister Ruoyi. But there was one problem—she couldn’t write.
Suisui wondered if it would be better to wait until she learned, but wouldn’t that take too long? Troubled, she tilted her head, resembling a wide-eyed kitten.
Shen Huatang, finding her adorable, patted her on the head and asked gently, “Suisui, is there something on your mind?”
Suisui thought for a moment, then, unable to solve her dilemma, honestly confessed, “I want to write a letter to Brother Ronglin and Sister Ruoyi, but I don’t know how to write.”
Shen Huatang quickly offered a solution, “Mengmeng and I can both write. How about we help you? You can tell us what you want to say, and we’ll write it down for you.”
Liu Hemeng, now wide awake, eagerly added, “Yes, yes! Sister Shen’s calligraphy is beautiful!”
Shen Huatang blushed and waved her hands modestly, “It’s not that special, just decent, really.”
Suisui understood that both her sisters could write and that their handwriting was pretty. So, happily, the three girls climbed out of bed, ready to write a letter. Aunt Xiang promptly provided ink and paper for their use.
Noticing Suisui was awake, Qi Wangfei brought Prince Qi along to quietly observe. Seeing the children enjoying themselves, Prince Qi softened. “Maybe Suisui should skip her lesson this afternoon? It’s rare to see her so happy.”

Qi Wangfei shot him an exasperated look. And so the reason everyone in the manor struggled with academics became clear—the problem started at the top. Prince Qi’s own poor academic habits, along with his sympathetic heart, set an example that didn’t exactly foster learning.
Realizing he was outnumbered, Prince Qi reluctantly agreed to follow his wife’s advice. But still, he couldn’t resist one last look back at his little sweetheart before heading off.
Meanwhile, in class, Feng Xuanrui grumbled, “Why isn’t Suisui here? Just because she’s adorable doesn’t mean she should get out of class!”
Even Feng Xuanbin chimed in, “Exactly, exactly!”
Their complaints were interrupted when Master Shen shot them a stern glance. Master Shen was hardly surprised by Prince Qi’s indulgent treatment of his children, especially the girls.
Back in the manor, as Prince Qi prepared for his medicinal bath, physician Liu mentioned, in passing, the idea of piercing Suisui’s ears. Prince Qi immediately rejected the idea, practically leaping out of the tub in agitation. “No! Absolutely not!”
physician Liu explained patiently, “The princess said to wait and see. I’m only here to ask, not to actually pierce her ears.”
Hearing this, Prince Qi calmed down, but he still turned back with a wary look. “Promise you won’t sneakily pierce her ears.”
physician Liu’s incredulous expression said it all—did Prince Qi really think he’d do that?
Meanwhile, Suisui was happily engrossed in writing. The letter was drafted, scrunched up, and rewritten several times. By now, Liu Hemeng and Shen Huatang knew every detail of Suisui’s time with Sun Ronglin in Qingzhou. But instead of getting frustrated, they patiently continued to guide her.
“You don’t have to worry so much,” Shen Huatang said. “We’re all kids, after all. Writing letters isn’t supposed to be so serious. Just write what you feel.”
“Right, we’re little girls. There’s no need to overthink it,” Liu Hemeng added.
The two older girls’ advice made sense to Suisui, so she began jotting down her simple thoughts:
“May Brother Ronglin be safe.”
“May Sister Ruoyi stay beautiful.”
Although it was short and to the point, Shen Huatang found the words touching. If Suisui ever wrote her such a letter, she’d surely treasure it in her most precious jewelry box.
