Chapter 1293: War Clouds Gather (104)

Empress Dowager favored Feng Lingxi so much that even though she was extremely displeased, she could only endure it."The Empress Dowager said, 'You're a bit unwell, so there's no need for formalities....Of course, that way Wan'er would have a companion.

Feng Lingxi heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She knew she had little time to spend with Wan'er, and she owed her so much since her birth.

"Mother knows."

"Wan'er, go play. Your aunt and mother are going to have a chat."

Then Xiao Mi spoke, and Wan'er ran back over to continue playing.

Luckily, there was the housekeeper's daughter Xiaoyue to accompany Wan'er. The two were not far apart in age and could play together.

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Ling Xi, "The princess has time, please accompany her a little. She actually wants to be with you very much. She often tells me that she is trying her best to become the person you like, so that you will spend more time with her."

Feng Lingxi heard Tian Xiaomi's words, her heart trembled slightly, and she quickly explained, "Xiao Mi, Wan'er doesn't need to change herself, she's already very good. It was I who ignored her."

"I understand that you're busy. Wan'er is a particularly clever child; she knows when you're busy and won't pester you. However, she's still just a child who needs the company of her parents. Your Highness, I only hope that no matter where you go in the future, if it's convenient, please take her with you so that she can feel your love and concern for her."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Wan'er's small figure, her eyes full of guilt.

As summer arrived, the weather turned hot. Early in the morning, Wan'er got up to exercise. She was doing squats in the courtyard, her little face flushed with exertion, but she refused to get up.

"Little one."

A figure scaled the wall and entered the courtyard. When Wan'er saw the arrival, she hastily retreated, eyeing the newcomer with suspicion.

Who are you

"I..."

Lu Xuan saw the wariness in Wan'er's eyes and quickly patted his chest to assure her, "I'm your uncle, truly."

"Cheater."

Wǎner glared at him, "I don't even know you."

Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, hastily explaining, "I'm really your uncle, your mother's older brother, Lu Nian, do you know him He said he's met you. He's my elder brother, your great-uncle."

Wǎn'ér looked at Lù Xuān, “You look so human and cunning, why are you at my house deceiving me”

"I..."

Lu Xuan heard Wan'er say this to him, not angry at all, but instead became interested.

"I said, how can you speak so rudely I'm your uncle, remember I came to your house yesterday, I know your parents. It's just that your mother doesn't recognize me, that's why I'm looking for you."

Yesterday, after finding out he had a young nephew, he was overjoyed. Early this morning, he came to the palace to peek. He saw Wan'er practicing martial arts. He watched her squat in horse stance for as long as she did, until just now he saw her face turn red and she still wouldn't get up. Then he decided to come down and talk to her, trying to get close to her.

"My mother wouldn't recognize you, so why would I"

Wan'er rolled her eyes. "Get out of here, or I'll call for help! My parents and my master are all super powerful. If they see you fooling around with children, they'll beat you until your teeth are scattered on the ground."

"Stop..."

Lu Xuan took two steps back, looking at Wan'er's fierce eyes. How come all the women in the Lu family were so fierce and difficult to deal with

"Look at this."

Lu Xuan took down a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her, “This belonged to my older brother. Did he ever give it to you Take a look, there’s my name written on it, Xuan, Lu Xuan.”

"I can't read, you're kidding a three-year-old."

Lu Xuan looked at Wan'er's disdainful eyes, really depressed. He remembered correctly, this little girl was over two years old, right

"Aren't you not yet three years old"

"I'm over two years old, so you can't fool me."

Lu Xuan was taken aback by her words, looking at Wan'er's serious expression, she was really just like her mother, strong to the core.

"Look at this jade pendant of mine, it's priceless jade. If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"No."

Wan'er refused without hesitation, leaving Lu Xuan feeling extremely downcast.

"Why don't you like expensive things"

"I like it, but I can't take your things. How do I know you don't often trick people with things like this"

Wan'er's serious expression almost made Lu Xuan so angry he wanted to spit blood.

He

tricked children

Then how can you believe that I'm your uncle

"If you were my uncle, why would you climb over the wall Like a thief!"

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and looked at this little pudding spot. This was the youngest of the Lu family, his mother said that whoever could handle this little ancestor, she wouldn't care about anyone afterward. For freedom, he had to deal with this little ancestor, after all, this was also their Lu family's first niece.

"I was just watching you practice. You were getting so red, I came down to talk to you. I didn't plan on climbing over the wall, of course. Would I ever do something like that" He chuckled awkwardly.

Wan'er didn't believe it for a year, "Have you ever seen a thief say he was a thief"

Lu Xuan rubbed his forehead, who could save him How could this little girl be so difficult to deal with

"Then what do you say, how can you believe me"

"I don't believe it."

After Wan'er finished speaking, she ran towards the courtyard. Lu Xuan hurriedly chased after her, "Don't run away, I haven't finished speaking..."

"Catch the thief!"

Wan'er saw Lu Xuan chasing after her and shouted loudly. When Lu Xuan heard her words, he turned his head and quickly flipped over the wall to escape.

"What am I running from"

After leaving, Lu Xuan looked dejected. He glanced at the high wall of this mansion, touched his nose, and encountered a mouthful of dust. It was boring.

"Wan'er, where is the thief"

Hearing the sound, Tian Xiaomi quickly came forward and hugged Wan'er. The people in the mansion were also alarmed and surrounded them.

"Princess Wan, where is the thief"

"Wan'er pointed behind her, "He was chasing me just now, he definitely ran away scared when I shouted 'Catch the thief!'"

Tian Xiaomi looked in the direction, but there was no one there at all. The backyard of this palace had always been quite well-kept, so how could someone have gotten in without anyone knowing

But Wan'er didn't seem to be lying either. Could it really be that no one noticed someone sneaking in

"Xiaomi, Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi rushed over upon hearing the sound and, seeing that Wan'er was unharmed, hurriedly asked, "I just heard that a thief broke in. Where is this thief"

"Mother, that man just said he was my uncle and your brother. He's so handsome."

Wan'er stepped forward and hugged Feng Lingxi's thigh, looked up, her eyes full of curiosity, "Mother, is he my uncle"

Wind Ling was at a loss for words. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer Wan'er. Yes, it was true, but her mother wouldn't let her acknowledge it.

"Wǎn'er, he..."

"Your Highness, the third young master of the Lu family is here."

“Lu family’s third young master”

"This title is truly impressive," the steward nodded, "We're already at the door. My subordinates know they are esteemed guests of the princess and have come to report."

Let them in.

Feng Ling's tone was full of exasperation. How could these people from the Lu family not understand

Everyone said it was impossible to reconcile with them, yet they just wouldn't leave.

"Wan'er, mother will take you to have a look."

Feng Lingxi picked up Wan'er and went to the front hall. Looking at the three people waiting there, Feng Lingxi felt a throbbing pain in her head.
