3367 Frightened

When the group arrived at Feng Manor, Feng Jiu took Hao’er back to his room to rest. “Are you still scared?” she asked, seeing his face was still pale. After all, seeing a ferocious beast charging at you, ready to bite, can be terrifying even for an adult, let alone a six-year-old child.

“Mm.”

Hao’er said in a soft voice, “Mother, am I useless?” while holding her hand tightly with both hands. Even though he didn’t want to be afraid, the scene from before still made him afraid.

“It’s all right, Hao’er. You are very good already.” She stroked his hand and spoke in a soothing voice, “Good boy, you will feel better after a good night’s sleep.”

Hao’er closed his eyes obediently. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the scene when the beast swooped in to bite him. He was so frightened that he opened his eyes again: “Mother, Hao’er is too scared to sleep.”

Feng Jiu’s eyes were filled with worry as she saw how terrified he was. “It’s alright, Mother will chat with you,” she said softly to comfort him. “Let’s have Qin Xin come in and play the guqin for us while we chat, okay?”

“Mm-hmm. Mother, stay with me, don’t leave.” He clutched her hand tightly, afraid she would slip away.

“All right, Mother isn’t going anywhere.” Feng Jiu spoke softly and called out, “Qin Xin.”

Qin Xin came in from the outside and said, “Master.” Her eyes were on Hao’er, who was lying on the bed.

“Qin Xin, please play a piece.” Feng Jiu just looked at her and didn’t tell her which piece to play.

“Yes.” Qin Xin complied. She sat down, took out her guqin from the s.p.a.ce and then played a calming and soothing lullaby.

The music filled the room and comforted Hao’er’s frightened heart. As he slowly started to feel better, he blinked and looked at Feng Jiu, who was sitting next to the bed.

Feng Jiu accompanied him and told him about how much fun she had when she disguised herself as a beggar. As time pa.s.sed, he gradually fell asleep to Qin Xin’s lullaby.

Seeing the little boy, still clutching her hand tightly even in sleep, she couldn’t help feeling a pang of distress. The child was really frightened today.

She had taken him to the forest before for practice, but she had never let him go through anything like this, almost being eaten by a beast. This scene appeared to have terrified him.

“It’s alright, he just fell asleep.” Feng Jiu told Qin Xin in a soft voice, signalling her to stop playing.

Feng Jiu carefully released her hand from his tight grip and helped him cover up with a blanket before leaving the room with light steps. Qin Xin followed her out the door.

Coming to the courtyard, Feng Jiu glanced at the room and instructed, “Qin Xin, stay here and watch over Hao’er.”

“Yes.” Qin Xin replied. Only after Feng Jiu and Leng Shuang turned to leave did she return to the room quietly to keep watch.

Guan Xilin and all the others were present in the main hall. When they saw Feng Jiu enter, they asked, “How is Hao’er?” The child didn’t seem quite himself; as if he had been frightened.

“He was somewhat frightened, but he’s fine now and is already asleep.” Feng Jiu said as she sat in the main seat. “Investigate who those people were,” she said to Du Fan and the others. “In addition, strengthen patrols within the manor and increase patrols throughout the city.”

“Yes.”

Du Fan replied. In fact, after they returned, he dispatched someone to investigate. However, he was unlikely to find anything. After all, those people arrived unexpectedly and quickly left.
