Chapter 1303: War Clouds Gather 114

iliar woman."Actually, you needn't feel sad. It's normal for someone with amnesia to change like this. If he wasn't like this, it would be abnormal."Feng Lingxi took the decoction for calming a restle..."Does the Queen think Wind and Rain will still cause you trouble"

Feng Lingxi thought of Feng Yu Xi, this person she had been vying with for so long. She was able to live so freely under Luo Li's hand, it wasn't easy to survive without some ability. What puzzled her most was the identity of her mother, Zhao shi.

"It's always better to be cautious. She's already caused enough trouble with her schemes. We can't let her get away with it again."

"This servant remembers."

Feng Lingxi returned to Chen Wangfu, but Dugucheng was not at home. Instead, the housekeeper told her that he had gone out to take care of some business.

"Your Highness, Young Master Yǔmò went out today and asked me to give you this."

The steward presented the letter to the princess. After opening it and glancing at its contents, Feng Lingxi nodded, "I understand. You may go about your business now."

"Xiao Li, have you and Ye Xi decided when you're getting married"

"Your Highness, when did I ever say I wanted to marry him"

Feng Lingxi smiled, squinting at Xiaoli's eyes that were flickering with a hint of nervousness. Her flustered appearance was quite adorable.

"Since you don't want to marry him, I'll find you a husband another day. I think Ye Su is quite good. He's handsome, and his martial arts skills are apparently much higher than Ye Xi's..."

"Ye Su's martial arts skills were not as high as Ye Xi's, otherwise the King wouldn't have let Ye Xi follow him."

Xiaoli hurriedly explained, but she found that the princess was laughing at her. Xiaoli looked at the princess in annoyance, "Your Highness, you are so mean."

Feng Lingxi laughed even harder, "Look at you being so nervous. You said you didn't like Yexi, but admitting that you like him is so difficult Besides, you've been with me for so long, and I can still see how your relationship with Yexi truly is."

Xiao Li bit her lip, blushing at the princess's words.

"Your Highness, this servant does not want to get married yet. After all, this servant is still young."

"Where did it fall short"

Feng Ling Xi's words made Xiao Li's face flush red, "Your Highness, please don't mention this matter anymore, the slave girl will be embarrassed."

"What's there to be ashamed of"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Alright, I'm done teasing you."

Little Li said thanks and quickly followed Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, to the point, I noticed that the Lord has been getting close to Young Master Yi Xuan these past two days. It seems like the Lord has asked him to do something."

Isn't this a good thing

Feng Lingxi didn't think anything was wrong. It was a good thing that Dugu Cheng wanted to reuse Feng Yixuan, just like Feng Yumuo. He was able to make a name for himself in the military camp, which was also his ability.

"I'm just worried about Madam. Since her child miscarried, she hasn't been pregnant again. She has dedicated herself to caring for Wan'er. Now that the Lord has favored Young Master Yi Xuan, I'm worried..."

"Xiaomi is a smart person, she'd be over the moon about such a good thing and wouldn't refuse."

Little Li thought about it, that's right, who wouldn't want their man to be successful.

"Your Highness, this servant will investigate the matter of Wind and Rain Evening these few days. Your Highness should not wander around the mansion. This servant will return once finished."

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi thought that her visit to Lu's mansion yesterday would make Madam Lu give up on letting her recognize her family. Unexpectedly, the next morning, Madam Lu came to the Wangfu with gifts. This time, besides Lu Nian and his three brothers, there was also her most unwelcome biological father, Lu Hao.

Upon learning of their arrival, Feng Lingxi's mood became agitated. Dugu City had returned very late last night and left early this morning, seemingly busy beyond measure. Feng Lingxi hadn't even been able to speak a few words with him.

The members of the Lu family were all invited to the front hall for tea. Feng Lingxi led Wan'er to the front hall and saw them all there. She crouched down and said to Wan'er, "Wan'er, don't shout around later, they haven't acknowledged their kinship with your mother, remember"

Waner nodded obediently, "Waner listens to Mama."

As soon as she stepped into the foyer, Feng Lingxi saw a pile of gifts in the courtyard. These gifts from the Lu family truly amazed her. After sending so much rice yesterday, they now brought even more presents today. They were truly demonstrating the saying "wealthy and generous" to the fullest.

"Your Majesty, Madam Lu and Master Lu are in the front hall with their three sons."

The steward stepped forward to report that Feng Lingxi had arrived at the front hall. Glancing at the line of people sitting inside, he gritted his teeth and led Wan'er in.

Lu's wife immediately saw the little girl, Wan'er, Feng Lingxi was holding hands with. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she excitedly got up and walked towards Feng Lingxi.

"Xier, could this be my granddaughter Wan'er"

Mrs. Lu wanted to step forward and hug Wan'er, but Wan'er took two steps back and stood behind Feng Lingxi. She stared at Mrs. Lu with her eyes without saying a word. This made Mrs. Lu freeze, and the smile on her face became awkward.

"Madam, you are out of order."

Lu Hao opened his mouth, walked up to Feng Lingxi's face, this face that was still handsome and extraordinary even in middle age, no wonder his mother would be moved by him.

Lu Hao saw Feng Lingxi looking at him, his expression slightly embarrassed.

"Your Highness, Princess of Chen, I am..."

"Master Lu, please sit down."

Feng Lingxi interrupted him, taking Wan'er inside and sitting in their own position, watching the Lu family. The atmosphere in the front hall was a bit awkward. Lu Hao and Feng Lingxi just sat there, neither of them spoke first nor looked at each other.

"Xier, today I came to see you. Yesterday I left in a hurry and you refused to accept my little gift. Today, I came to your door myself, bringing some modest gifts. I hope you'll accept them."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the courtyard piled high with gifts. She said lightly, "Madam Lu, with so many gifts, if I were to accept them, I'm afraid the people of the city would have something to say about the Chen Wangfu. The gifts are too valuable, and I cannot accept them."

"This..."

Mrs. Lu was really upset. She had brought everything, was she supposed to take it all back

Besides, wouldn't you accept even a little

"Xier, even if you don't acknowledge the Lu family, these are some small gifts we prepared for you. They aren't expensive, just accept them. It's a little something from me."

Mrs. Lu panicked and seeing Feng Ling Xi's unwavering gaze, she hurriedly tugged at Lu Hao beside her, "You speak up! Is this really only a tiny bit"

Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, staring at her face as if lost in thought. Xi'er and Wan Ying really did look so much alike.

"Xier, how is your mother"

Lu Hao voiced his question, and upon seeing Feng Ling Xi's eyes slightly reddening, Lu Fu felt a pang in her heart. She didn't feel jealous, but rather, her own eyes welled up with tears.

"At first, you let her and her daughter come back. Now that you're saying this, what do you mean"

"My mother is doing well, and I am also doing well. Thank you for your concern, Master Lu."

Feng Lingxi remained as calm as ever, facing Lu Hao. Internally, she felt nothing. She had expected to feel excitement or anger upon meeting her biological father, but instead, there was only this unsettling stillness. It seemed this body held no feelings for this man at all.

I guess so, a father I've never met. Even if he appeared now, he'd just be a stranger. What waves could there possibly be

"Then she…"

As soon as Lu Hao spoke, he swallowed his words and covered his eyes. He... cried.er head and forced a smile."I'm fine, Yumu is so good to me, I can save him, of course I will, you don't need to thank me.""Okay, when he's better, have him personally apologize to you."Feng Lingxi's...
