Chapter 256: Protecting My Sister at All Times

Zi Yuan carefully observed her expression and asked cautiously, "Miss, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"It wasn't sudden."

Yuan Siyin sat up straight: "He is my younger brother, but he is also the eldest son of the Yuan family, the son of the General of the Cavalry, and will inherit the title in the future."

"Is the young lady worried that the young master will get involved in the court's intrigues?"

This issue was far too sensitive, so Zi Yuan had to lower her voice.

"Um."

"With his aunt and father around, the Yuan family is the center of attention."

I am already seen as a stepping stone to the throne, and what about him? He's still so young.

Yuan Fuqing had no idea what the two were talking about. He simply picked up the rabbit and happily walked up to Yuan Siyin, saying, "Sister, look, Little Gray has grown up again!"

Yuan Siyin smiled and reached out to stroke the soft fur of the rabbit in his arms: "Why call it Little Gray? It's clearly a white rabbit."

"Because the older sister rabbit is called Little White, the younger brother can't be called Little White, so he's called Little Gray."

Yuan Siyin was amused by his illogical explanation and immediately pinched his nose lightly: "Okay, stop thinking about feeding them alfalfa. Just let them eat grass in peace. They won't get thin."

“Okay, whatever you say goes.” Yuan Fuqing lowered her head, thought for a moment, and agreed without hesitation.

"Does Aqing like the teacher who teaches you to read?"

Yuan Fuqing was caught off guard by this sudden question, thinking it was a surprise check on her studies, and felt guilty, not daring to look at her older sister.

"If you don't like it, your older sister won't take care of you anymore. You can do whatever you want, okay?"

Yuan Fuqing was taken aback. He quickly stuffed Xiao Hui into Zi Yuan's arms and hugged Yuan Siyin in a muffled voice: "Sister, I was wrong. I will definitely study hard in the future. Sister, please don't be angry and don't ignore me."

Knowing that he might have misunderstood, Yuan Siyin gently stroked his hair crown again and again, "It's not that I don't care about Aqing, nor that I don't like Aqing, I just want Aqing to be more comfortable."

"comfortable?"

In just a few words, Yuan Fuqing's little mind had already conjured up a scene of his older sister abandoning him, and his eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Yes, Ah Qing wants to be happy every day, right? From now on, your older sister won't bother you anymore. Ah Qing can do whatever she wants."

Yuan Fuqing sniffed, then suddenly straightened up and carefully touched her forehead: "Sister, are you delirious from a fever again?"

“…Yuan Fuqing, don’t be ungrateful.”

I'm being so gentle and considerate, what nonsense is this brat spouting!

What do you mean she's delirious from the fever?

Even if she's not delirious from the fever, she should still speak so softly and gently.

Seeing that her older sister had returned to normal after just a few words, Yuan Fuqing shrank back, "Aqing prefers to practice martial arts with her older sister."

"Why?"

"Because I have an older sister, but I didn't have an older sister to accompany me when I was studying."

"What if your older sister helps you with your studies?"

"Ah Qing also likes to study."

Yuan Fuqing kept his head down, looking exactly like a little sticky dumpling.

"But your older sister can't always be with you. She has her own path to walk, and Qing also has her own path to walk."

If that's the case, what should Aqing do?

Yuan Fuqing thought for a while, tilted his head and said, "Father also stood behind Aunt back then, so Aqing is just like Father!"

Whatever path her older sister took, A-Qing followed, walking behind her to protect her at all times.
