She was extremely confused. "This shouldn't be the case. He already grabbed my hand and restrained me. How could he be stabbed by me?"
She looked up out the window and recalled the scenes in the Taiji Hall.
Lost in her memories and trying to find the answer, she didn't notice that an eight-year-old boy pushed open the door and walked in behind her.
The little boy was wearing a patched and washed-out suit, but the rough clothes did not affect the beauty of his features at all.
He is like a fairy boy who has come down to earth. Although he is a boy, he is as delicate and handsome as his sister.
Seeing that his sister didn't look back at him, he quietly walked behind her and looked at her with his head tilted in confusion.
What happened to my sister today?
He pushed the door open so loudly, didn’t your sister hear it?
In the past, whenever he first came into the yard, my sister could always spot him.
He followed his sister's gaze and looked out the window.
There, the handsome fourth son of the Zhu family was playing games with the fifth son. The fourth son was throwing the fifth son up and down with a doting look on his face, and it didn't seem like he was struggling at all, which made the fifth son laugh non-stop.
He was envious for only a moment before frowning.
He glanced at his lost sister, then at the fourth young master—
Is my sister looking at that handsome fourth young master?
He looked at the Fourth Young Master with a critical eye. After finding out that he had a good appearance and a good figure, there was nothing wrong with him at all, and he suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of unease in his heart!
It’s over!
Is my sister interested in this fourth young master?
The nanny said that girls will get married when they grow up. Does my sister want to marry this fourth young master?
How can this be?
My sister is only eleven years old this year, and it will take at least another five or six years before she can get married!
And this fourth young master looks like he's already fourteen or fifteen, and he might have already been engaged to another girl. In five or six years, her child will be able to call me "Auntie", so how can he be a good match for me?
Besides, he is the legitimate son of the General of Cavalry and the Duke of Zhenguo. How can they, with their status, be worthy of him?
My sister likes him, but if he doesn't like her, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
So he absolutely couldn't let his sister fall in love with the Fourth Young Master.
His eyes rolled and he suddenly had an idea.
He can pretend to be sick!
He could make his sister focus all her attention on him, so that his sister wouldn't have the mood to care about the Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Master!
After these people left, the sister who was unable to leave Zhuangzi completely cut off contact with the Fourth Young Master and would no longer have unrequited love for him.
Having made up his mind, the little boy covered his stomach and began to cry out in pain.
"Sister! Ouch, my stomach hurts... Sister..."
"Yurong!"
Feng Yushu was recalling the scene of the assassination in Taiji Hall when she suddenly heard her brother's voice and immediately came back to her senses.
She turned her head to look at her brother and found that he was holding his stomach with a painful look on his face. She immediately became anxious.
"Yurong, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Yushu quickly stood up and walked to her brother's side, put her arms around him, and bent down to touch his belly.
The little boy Feng Yurong tried very hard to squeeze out two tears, then raised his head and looked at his sister pitifully.
"Sister, I think I may have eaten something that upset my stomach. My stomach hurts so much. Can I lie down here and rest for a while?"
He grabbed his sister's sleeve with his little hands and pretended to be sick very well.
Feng Yushu saw that he was in so much pain that he was crying. How could she let him lie down and rest?
This needs to be taken to see a doctor.
She anxiously bent down, picked up her brother and rushed out the door, "Come on, sister will take you to see a doctor!"
There is a doctor in their village, but he charges very expensive consultation fees every time they go to see him.
So Feng Yurong suddenly became anxious.
He was pretending to be sick. How could he let his sister waste money to see a doctor?
Besides, he won’t be able to keep pretending if he goes to see a doctor, because the doctor will expose him!
Seeing his sister already holding him at the door, he hurriedly grabbed the door with both hands and shouted desperately, "Sister, I won't go! I won't go!"
Feng Yushu thought he was worried about the money and lectured him, "If you're sick, you have to see a doctor! Money is just material possessions. If we lose it, we can just save it again. Nothing else is more important than your life!"
Feng Yurong looked up at her sister's worried expression and suddenly couldn't pretend anymore.
He couldn't lie to his sister like this and make her worry.
So he lowered his head, pursed his lips, and admitted his mistake obediently.
"Sister...I'm not actually sick. I was lying to you..."
Feng Yushu was stunned.
She put her brother back on the ground and frowned at him, "Why did you pretend to be sick and lie to me?"
Feng Yurong put her hands behind her back and whispered, "I'm afraid my sister will fall in love with that Fourth Young Master. With our lowly status, we are not worthy of him at all..."
He was afraid that these words would hurt his sister's self-esteem, so he secretly looked up at her.
He felt relieved when he saw that his sister did not get angry.
He continued, "I'm afraid that my sister will cause herself trouble, so I thought I'd just pretend to be sick so that she can focus all her attention on me and stop looking at that Fourth Young Master. Then she won't like him anymore..."
Hearing her brother's words, Feng Yushu felt helpless and angry.
After all this time, it turned out that the younger brother was pretending to be sick to get her care and love. He is such a smart little boy!
She was about to teach her brother a lesson, when suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head and she thought of something else!
She seemed to have guessed why her fifth uncle was stabbed by her!
She recalled what happened in Taiji Hall!
She remembered that when she was trying to assassinate her fifth uncle, her fifth aunt suddenly appeared outside the hall. Could it be that the reason why her fifth uncle didn't dodge her assassination was to deliberately get injured in front of her fifth aunt?
Just like how his younger brother was pretending to be sick to get her attention, his fifth uncle must have been deliberately injured to show his fifth aunt!
Her eyes lit up!
She wants to tell Aunt Wu about this!
Anyway, it is impossible for her to assassinate her fifth uncle again in the future. After knowing what happened in the past, she can no longer feel at ease to hurt her fifth uncle... Then she can find another way to find fault with her fifth uncle and take revenge on him!
Uncle Five must be terribly in love with Aunt Five right now, so he would risk his life and get injured in order to win Aunt Five's sympathy!
She told this to Aunt Wu and asked her to teach Uncle Wu a lesson!
"Yurong, wait a minute. I'm going to write a letter first!"
She patted her brother's head happily, then walked into the room with light steps.
She stood in front of the desk, ground the ink, picked up a brush and wrote lines of beautiful words on the unfolded paper.
After reporting that Uncle Wu had intentionally injured her, she even added a particularly vicious sentence:
"Aunt Wu, my brother is only eight years old this year and he knows not to pretend to be sick and make his sister anxious. Uncle Wu knew you were pregnant and still got hurt to scare you... He really doesn't care about you at all!"
Looking at these words, she raised the corners of her mouth in pleasure.
Uncle Wu, you're done!
Niece, just wait and see you get punished by Aunt Five by twisting your ears!
