The Empress Dowager glanced at her. "The two of them are about the same age, why can't they play together?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that when Xin'er came to Huaiyin before, she mentioned that she didn't like Mo'er, her fiancée. I didn't expect that after Mo'er broke off the engagement with her, Xin'er would find him more agreeable," the woman in fine clothes explained helplessly.
"People change," the Empress Dowager said dismissively.
Upon hearing this, the woman in the fine clothes said nothing more.
But he still disliked Rong Qingqing.
Especially that face that looked so much like Lan's; whenever she saw it, it would remind her of past misfortunes.
Xiao Zhen's sudden adoption of her as his goddaughter must be because of the Lan family.
Thinking of her past unrequited desires, her eyes darkened.
After Feng Xin pulled Rong Qingqing away from the Imperial Garden, her forced composure crumbled, and she looked at Rong Qingqing as if she was about to cry.
"Qingqing, why is Jingrun my biological brother?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing squeezed her hand and could only say, "This is a fact that no one can change."
Feng Xin plopped down on the stone bench next to her, resting her chin on her hands, and said sadly, "But I liked him so much, and overnight he became my brother. Wasn't all my previous feelings wasted?"
Rong Qingqing sat down next to her, looking at the sadness in the girl's eyes, and gently comforted her, "Actually, you should be glad that you found out he was your own brother before you got too involved. It's not too late for you to get out now."
Feng Xin slumped on the table, looking somewhat dejected, and said, "But I really like Brother Jingrun. I've been so sad these past few days."
“But I think that liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be with them. You might think of it this way: although it’s impossible between you and Xie Jingrun, you now have an older brother. You are family for life, and there is an unbreakable blood tie between you. You can still continue to like him because he is your brother.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin fell silent, then looked at her with some confusion, "Can I still like him?"
"Of course you can, because you're siblings," Rong Qingqing said with a smile. After a pause, she added, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you."
"Envious of me?" Feng Xin looked at her in surprise. "Why?"
"I envy you for having two older brothers," Rong Qingqing said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin said somewhat arrogantly, "That's true, but unfortunately, it's something you can't envy. You'll never have a brother in this lifetime."
Rong Qingqing's lips twitched slightly. The fact that the little princess could be so sarcastic meant that she wasn't in a bad mood.
"Yes, that's something you can't envy."
“But it doesn’t matter. You don’t have a brother, so I can give you my brother,” Feng Xin suddenly said.
Rong Qingqing was stunned. It was the first time she had ever heard that her brother could share his food with others.
"How do you want to divide it?" she asked casually.
“I can’t give Feng Mo to you because he’s been so good to me, and I can’t bear to part with him. So I can only give you Brother Jing Run,” Feng Xin said generously.
Rong Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "It seems you don't like Xie Jingrun as much as you thought."
Feng Xin frowned, unconvinced, "Who said that?"
"You were able to give him away without hesitation," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.
Feng Xin choked.
Rong Qingqing smiled and said, "He's just a man, he's really not that important. There are many more things in this world worth pursuing, so don't limit yourself."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin paused for a moment, then suddenly stood up, looking behind her with some surprise, "Brother Jingrun."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing turned her head to look.
When I saw the man leaning against the tree, I almost fell off my stool.
When did that scoundrel Xie Jingrun arrive?
