Chapter 266: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 266: You're Stuck on the Rock
Because Suisui and the other brothers were cheering them on, Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin climbed especially quickly and steadily.
Qingshan and the others formed a circle around them, worried that the young masters might fall. They were so nervous that they bit their lips and didn't dare look away, but the two kids were having a great time.
The two older brothers got lost in Suisui's continuous cheers of encouragement.
Then...
An accident happened.
Feng Xuanbin's clothes got caught on a fake mountain, and he was stuck there, unable to move.
The problem was, Feng Xuanrui was about to descend backward and accidentally stepped on his brother’s head.
Feng Xuanbin yelled out in surprise, and Qingshan and the others rushed over in panic.
Feng Xuanrui quickly retracted his foot without stepping down fully, but because there was no place to put his foot, he lost his balance and fell backward.
Qingshan and the others almost had a heart attack.
Fortunately, everyone worked together and safely caught Feng Xuanrui.
Feng Xuanbin also wanted to come down, but...
He was stuck!
His clothes were snagged on the fake mountain, and his body went limp, causing him to lose balance and dangle upside down from the rock.
He hadn’t been scared when climbing earlier, but now he was shouting in panic: "Ahhh, help! Help me, someone save me, I’m going to die!"
Everyone had just saved Feng Xuanrui when they heard the Seventh Young Master's voice and hurried over in fear.
The two young servants by Feng Xuanbin climbed up, tore his caught clothes, and then slowly helped him down.
Once both young masters were safely on the ground, everyone finally relaxed.
Climbing the fake mountain was unsafe and ruined their clothes, but they were doing it for fun.
After getting down, Feng Xuanbin forgot about his fear. He went up to Suisui, puffed out his little belly, raised his head, and smiled: "Hehe, isn't Seventh Brother awesome?"
Before Suisui could respond, Feng Xuanrui teased from the side: "Heh, you got stuck on the mountain."
Feng Xuanbin glared angrily, retorting, "I didn’t! I just made a mistake! I won’t do it next time!"
Feng Xuanrui laughed mischievously: "You got stuck on the mountain~"
His teasing tone made Feng Xuanbin so angry he jumped up, about to grab Sixth Brother’s head.
Feng Xuanrui wasn’t going to let him, crouching low and quickly swiping back at him.
Feng Xuanbin saw it was about to turn into a fight, and since he knew he couldn’t win, he turned and ran.
Although he was chubby, he was quite agile.
He spun around and ran off without giving anyone a chance to react.
By the time the servants realized, Feng Xuanbin had already gotten quite far, with Feng Xuanrui chasing after him.
The others quickly reacted, calling out to them and running after.
When Suisui saw her brothers running, she rushed forward too.
Liu Hemeng, worried about Suisui falling, hurried after her.
Shen Huatang didn’t like running or jumping; her family was used to being quiet.
But seeing Suisui run, even though Liu Hemeng was following her, Shen Huatang hesitated for a moment, then clenched her teeth and lifted her skirt, chasing after her.
Feng Xuancang and the others were also worried about their younger siblings, so they quickly caught up.
The children, either running or walking quickly, formed a line.
When Prince Qi finished his business and hurried to find Suisui, he saw this scene and couldn’t help but laugh: "What game are they playing? It looks pretty lively!"
Prince Qi’s gaze followed Feng Xuanbin, who was running in the front, all the way to Feng Xuancang at the back, and finally settled on Suisui in the middle. He smiled fondly and said, “My little one runs so gracefully, but she’s too thin. Her little bones are so fragile, and I feel like if she runs a few more steps, she might fall apart. She really needs to eat more. Didn’t Physician Liu prescribe any nourishing herbal soups?”
Before Sui Si could respond, Prince Qi shook his head. “Forget it, the child is still young. Less medicine is better. Let the chef come up with some nourishing dishes for her.”
Sui Si softly acknowledged.
Though Prince Qi wanted to pick Suisui up, he couldn’t bear to see her run too far. However, he understood that physical exercise was important. Suisui’s body was still too weak and needed more food and exercise to strengthen it. So, although he was reluctant, he steeled himself to let the children have their fun.
After all, if he kept carrying her away all the time, not allowing her to play with the others, their bond might weaken, and then what would happen if his little one had no friends?
Prince Qi felt the weight of being an overprotective father...
But he loved it all the same.
In fact, he even wished there was more to manage!
His loving gaze never left the children as they played.
Seeing that Suisui’s pants had torn a little, Prince Qi couldn’t help but ask Sui Si, “What happened to Little Seven’s clothes?”
He was particularly fond of Suisui but still paid attention to the young masters of the household. When he noticed the torn clothing, he couldn’t help but ask.
Sui Si wasn’t sure, so he called over a servant who was cleaning the grass and learned that Suisui had gotten her clothes caught on the fake mountain while climbing, which caused the tear. She hadn’t gone back to change yet.
Prince Qi shook his head helplessly when he heard this. “She’s quite mischievous.”
After sighing, he smiled again and said, “I wonder when my little one will become more mischievous. Kids should be a little naughty—it’s good for their health.”
After running for a while, Suisui and the others were tired, so they lay by the fish pond to watch the fish.
They weren’t fishing or eating; they were just feeding the fish.
One plate of fish food after another was thrown in, and the servants feared that the fish wouldn’t last until tomorrow morning; they’d all be dead by then.
But no one dared to speak up.
The young masters were just having fun, and if a few fish had to be sacrificed for the amusement, it wasn’t a big deal.
The fish in the pond were probably part of the several batches replaced this month alone.
Prince Qi frowned as he watched this. “This won’t do.”
Sui Si, listening to this, quickly thought to himself what the Prince meant by "this won’t do." Before he could reflect further, Prince Qi continued, “Before, my little one was almost drowned by those two evil women from the Che family because there was no protective barrier by the pond. Tomorrow…”
Prince Qi was about to say, "Tomorrow I’ll go to the Ministry of Works to ask if there’s anyone skilled in this area to come and help build something to protect the children."
Otherwise, with so many children in the residence, what if one fell into the water and wasn’t noticed in time? What would they do?
Right now, Prince Qi had few children, and every one of them was precious, so they had to be well-protected!
However, remembering that tomorrow the Jinxiufang seamstress would come to have Suisui try on summer clothes, Prince Qi hesitated to leave the residence.
The day after tomorrow, he also had to go to the Marquis Fuguo’s residence.
He really couldn’t spare the time.
If he didn’t go, he feared that just sending someone from the lower ranks would mean the Ministry of Works would do a half-hearted job.
Prince Qi initially thought that if worse came to worst, he could go in a few days. But soon, he thought of someone and turned to Sui Si, asking, “Has Prince Qing returned?”
