Chapter 269: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
**Chapter 269: Gentle Elder Brother**
Suisui was quite curious about her elder brother.
Feng Xuanze was equally curious about this younger sister of his.
He hadn’t returned to the mansion this month, but he was still aware of the news from the outside world.
They were just going to study, not to be exiled, so they didn’t know anything.
Therefore, news from outside often reached him.
Feng Xuanze knew that Xiao Liu had safely returned to the mansion and had brought back a sister.
Soon after, this sister became their Prince Residence's legitimate little princess.
When his classmates teased him, Feng Xuanze had also wondered to himself what his new sister would be like.
At first, Feng Xuanze’s expectations weren’t high; as long as she didn’t have the surname Che, that would be enough.
After all, the annoyance of Concubine Che…
Feng Xuanze didn’t want to say more about it.
Later, he found out that the girl had no relation to the Che family, and that the members of the Che family had been sent to the Ministry of Justice prison, likely because they had committed a crime. Feng Xuanze felt relieved.
Knowing that this sister had nothing to do with the Che family, his expectations soared again.
He hoped that this child…
Would be a likable one.
At the very least, someone who could make his mother happy.
Now, seeing her and those round, curious eyes, Feng Xuanze thought to himself…
Just by seeing how much father and mother favored Suisui, it was clear that this sister was indeed very charming.
Not only did father and mother like her, but Feng Xuanze, who considered himself a small adult with mature thoughts, still couldn’t help but turn his gaze toward Suisui when he saw her.
After checking on his brothers' homework, he subconsciously turned to look at Suisui and was met with her round, curious eyes.
They were beautiful.
These eyes resembled those of Xiao Liu when he was young.
Looking into those familiar and beautiful eyes, Feng Xuanze’s heart softened.
He moved a little closer and gently asked, “Suisui, is there anything else you’d like to eat? Big brother can get it for you.”
Suisui had been well-fed by her father.
The dish today was exceptionally fresh, and the ingredients had been stewed to perfection.
Back in the village, she might never have seen abalone or sea cucumbers, but now, whenever Suisui wished, they could be served in her bowl.
She had already been fed half a sea cucumber, a few pieces of abalone, some scallops and pig's stomach, and a few sips of soup by her father.
Children don’t have big appetites, and her mother had also given her a small piece of rib and a little lamb chop.
Suisui felt full, but not wanting to disappoint her elder brother, she thought for a moment and quietly said, “I want to eat fruit.”
There were fresh cherries, peaches, and melons on the table.
When Suisui said she wanted fruit, Feng Xuanze smiled and responded. He picked a little of each, placing them into a clean bowl. Then, holding the bowl in one hand and new chopsticks in the other, he carefully picked up a cherry.
The round, plump cherry was difficult to pick up, but Feng Xuanze’s hands were steady. Once he had it, he gently brought it to Suisui’s mouth.
Just as Prince Qi turned his head to speak to Qi Wangfei, he felt Suisui move in his arms. Instinctively, he turned to look and saw his eldest son feeding Suisui fruit.
Seeing this, Prince Qi couldn’t help but squint and smile.
Feng Xuanze noticed his father’s gaze and lifted his head, offering a smile. However, he quickly averted his gaze and returned his attention to Suisui.
Suisui was quite fond of her gentle elder brother, so she obediently opened her mouth. As the cherry reached her lips, she didn’t forget to softly say, “Thank you, big brother, you’re the best.”
Feng Xuanrui, who had been focusing on his food, heard her voice and quickly looked up. He pouted and asked pitifully, “Sister, isn’t your brother good?”
Suisui, caught in the act by her older brother, wasn’t flustered at all. She nodded furiously and mumbled, “Yes, brother is the best!”
Seeing how Suisui tried so hard to please him, Prince Qi couldn’t help but smile.
However, he did his best to control himself, not wanting to startle the child.
Feng Xuanyu, sitting opposite Feng Xuanrui, saw his sixth brother pouting and couldn’t hold back a laugh. But before he could laugh, he was sharply pinched by Consort Ren.
Feng Xuanyu, confused, tilted his head and asked with a puzzled, pitiful expression, “Mother, why did you pinch me?”
Consort Ren: “You’re asking for trouble, do you understand?”
Consort Ren wanted to scold him with a look but feared her silly son wouldn’t get it, so she softly said, “Just eat your food.”
Feng Xuanyu, interrupted, quickly forgot what he had been thinking about.
Moreover, today’s lamb chops were quite good—perfectly cooked, fragrant, and tender. He could easily have another bowl of rice!
Feng Xuanyu soon bent his head and continued eating.
Feng Xuanze leisurely fed Suisui some fruit.
Suisui had already eaten enough, so she couldn’t eat much more fruit.
After feeding her a piece of each type of fruit, Feng Xuanze didn’t continue, afraid of overfeeding her.
Not wanting her to greedily eat too much, Feng Xuanze gently asked, “Have you started your lessons, little sister? Have you made any new friends recently?”
When he was checking on his younger brothers' homework earlier, Feng Xuanze had already gathered some key information from their conversation.
Suisui had recently started attending their little classroom and had made two good friends.
Suisui didn’t realize that her elder brother had already more or less figured out her situation in the mansion.
Hearing her elder brother’s question, she obediently nodded, “Yes, big brother, I’ve started attending a lesson. But some of it is hard to understand. I’ve also made friends with Sister Meng Meng and Sister Tang Tang.”
Feng Xuanze just wanted to chat casually to distract her from thinking too much about food. So he quickly followed up, “Which family is Sister Meng Meng from? And who is Sister Tang Tang?”
...
Feng Xuanze had a gentle demeanor and a soft voice. When speaking with Suisui, he would lower his head as much as possible to match her height.
Suisui loved talking with her elder brother. She didn’t have to worry about him not understanding or her words sounding too childish or unclear.
She could just speak freely, knowing her brother would always respond.
This made Suisui even more eager to express herself.
When it was time to leave the table, Feng Xuanze had already, with ease, picked Suisui up in his arms, speaking softly to her.
After finishing his meal, Feng Xuanyu, wanting to pay attention to his sister, noticed…
Wait?
Big brother already took her in his arms?
But he hadn’t yet.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanyu felt a little aggrieved. He strode over without needing to squeeze past anyone—his brothers automatically made way for him.
What a joke, with second brother’s build, anyone would be crazy to try and squeeze past him!
So, step aside, everyone!
Feng Xuanyu smoothly made his way over, looking like a giant puppy with round eyes and a very aggrieved expression. “Sister, I want a hug.”
Suisui had been listening to her elder brother talk about the food at the village and how it wasn’t very tasty. Sometimes, they even forgot to add salt when stir-frying, so they had to make do with it.
Suisui’s standards for food had risen, so when she learned that the dishes didn’t have salt, she was equally surprised, widening her mouth in amazement: “It can be like that?”
Just as she was listening, she suddenly heard the loud voice of second brother right by her ear.
In that instant, Suisui felt like her ears were ringing.
