Chapter 293: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 293: Lu Yinsong
Feng Youtan certainly didn’t want to give up just like that. She stood on her tiptoes, continually glancing in the direction of Second Brother.
But all she saw was his cold, indifferent back, walking away without even turning his head, moving with a quick and decisive stride that displayed his utter disregard.
This left Feng Youtan a bit hurt. She pouted and then looked at the young servant, Yue Bai, and quietly asked, "How is Second Brother’s health lately? How’s his appetite? Has anyone troublesome come to cause trouble for him?"
The young girl had quite a few questions.
Unfortunately, Yue Bai just bowed slightly and replied simply, "Replying to the Princess, Young Master is doing well."
So, he wasn’t willing to say more, was he?
Feng Youtan pouted, helpless, and responded, "Alright then."
Aunt Chou and the others had already entered the small courtyard through the main gate.
However, the servant didn’t allow them inside and only stood at the entrance, waiting.
Feng Youtan saw this and, knowing that Second Brother refused to see anyone, realized there was nothing more she could do. She could only take Suisui’s hand and leave.
Suisui didn’t understand but didn’t ask too many questions.
She simply turned her head, looked at the distant figure, and quietly said to Feng Youtan, "Sister, his little carriage is bigger than my little wooden horse."
That carriage was so big that it could probably fit her, her brother, and Seventh Brother together.
Suisui kind of wanted it and planned to tell her father about it when they returned to the palace.
Feng Youtan, who was already feeling down as she walked out, instinctively reached up to cover Suisui’s mouth when she heard her words.
But just as her hand was outstretched, Feng Youtan looked up at Second Brother’s retreating figure.
Suddenly, she realized—now that Suisui mentioned it, the wheelchair was actually quite convenient.
It meant no walking was required.
The thought of that made her feel quite comfortable.
If Second Brother’s legs hadn’t been injured, Feng Youtan thought she would have been quite willing to try it out herself.
But then, thinking about Second Brother’s injury, she sighed like an adult, "Second Brother got injured, that’s why he has to use the carriage. Actually, if he could, Second Brother wouldn’t want to use the wheelchair."
Who would want to sit in a wheelchair if their legs were fine?
Who wouldn’t want the freedom to run and jump?
For those who’ve never had that freedom, they long for it even more.
For those who once had it and lost it, they would long for it as well.
Unfortunately, the Physician said that Second Brother’s legs...
The chances of healing were very low.
Moreover, Second Brother kept himself secluded and refused to see anyone, even rejecting the Physicians from entering his courtyard.
So, even that tiny hope had been dashed.
Thinking of this, Feng Youtan still felt a bit sad.
When Suisui heard her sister’s words, she seemed to understand a bit. So, Second Brother’s legs were injured?
Suisui had seen people with leg injuries in the village before.
However, in the village, conditions were poor, and many people just stayed at home, trying to heal, while still doing labor with their injured legs.
If they didn’t work, the crops wouldn’t grow, and they wouldn’t be able to support their families.
The hardships of farmers could only truly be understood by those who lived that life.
But Suisui was still young. While she subconsciously understood the hardships of farmers, she didn’t know how to express it.
Or rather, she didn’t understand enough to fully grasp it.
Looking at Second Brother’s distant figure, and then hearing what her sister had said, Suisui softly nodded, "Then Second Brother is really pitiful."
Hearing this, Feng Youtan was startled. She quickly waved her hand, flustered, "Suisui, you can’t say that..."
Before she could say any more, Second Brother, who had already walked quite a distance, suddenly shouted again, "Get out!!!"
Feng Youtan dared not delay any longer. She grabbed Suisui’s hand and ran out of the small courtyard.
Aunt Chou and the others quickly followed.
The door to the courtyard slammed shut with a loud bang.
The servant nearly slammed the door shut as the last person left the courtyard, ensuring it was locked tightly.
Suisui jumped at the sound behind her.
She thought to herself, Second Brother’s temper really isn’t great.
But then, she also realized that with his leg injury, he must be in pain, and that seemed like a perfectly normal reaction.
Suisui thought about how, when she was sick, she didn’t feel good physically, and it made her feel miserable inside as well.
Thinking about it this way, she could sort of understand why he might act that way.
Suisui still didn’t fully understand, though, and tilted her little head, looking confused.
After Feng Youtan managed to escape, she paused to steady her breath, but couldn’t help glancing back.
All she could see now were the high courtyard walls and the unforgivingly shut gates.
She stood there for a while, her eyes drooping as she spoke with a choked voice, "Suisui, do you know? Second Brother used to be the most passionate and flamboyant young man in our capital. Many people said he had the potential to be a great general, even surpassing Uncle Prince Qing in the future. But unfortunately…"
He had fallen off his horse unexpectedly, ending his path to the battlefield, and turning the once spirited young man into someone who secluded himself, becoming a gloomy and crazy figure.
Feng Youtan knew very well that there were people who secretly mocked him. They said that the once fiery and eager Lu Yinsong had become a cold, heartless madman after breaking his leg.
However, Feng Youtan didn’t want to believe that.
Second Brother had worked so hard, eagerly anticipating the day he could go to the battlefield and fight. Even though the blow of his leg injury was hard to bear, he wouldn’t have turned into a madman.
When Feng Youtan spoke about Second Brother, her normally soft and round face had a tinge of sorrow.
Suisui, watching from the side, felt a little heartbroken.
She reached out with her small hand and gently touched Feng Youtan’s soft cheek. "Sister, don’t cry, Second Brother will get better."
Suisui’s words made things worse for Feng Youtan. Unable to hold back, she burst into tears. "Wuwu, he won’t get better, the Physician said it won’t get better, wuwu, my Second Brother!"
Feng Youtan had heard that Second Brother probably couldn’t bear hearing those words, so she cried loudly but controlled her voice, trying to speak as quietly as possible, just enough so that Suisui could hear.
Suisui did hear her, but she didn’t quite understand, and she wasn’t very good at comforting others.
At that moment, Suisui turned to ask Lele for help: Lele, what should I say? Sister is crying so sadly.
The system, seeing the child cry so heartbroken, felt a little reluctant to watch.
However, its focus was more on Suisui.
After hearing her question, the system hesitated for a moment before replying: It’s just a leg injury. His abilities haven’t disappeared, his mind is still there, everything else is still in place.
If this Second Young Master is truly as capable as your sister says, then even after his leg injury, his mind is still sharp.
He was a talented military person, so in his mind, there’s a system that others don’t understand. Right now, his body is damaged, so he can’t fulfill his previous ambitions, but that’s okay. He can still teach others.
The team’s brain, or rather, the command center, is also an important part. Without them, even the strongest machine wouldn’t be able to function properly.
Every person in this world is a small piece of the global map. Without anyone, the world can’t function properly.
