Chapter 1408: Smoke Rises (Part 2)

Princess Consort is your daughter-in-law, she is after all the Holy Master of the Yao clan. Everything should be done in moderation, lest the world sees us, the Great Yuan Dynasty, as a laughingstock..."Sister, are you sure the prime minister will believe your words"

Feng Yu Mo worriedly asked, "Could it be that this Nan Gong Hua Shuang is his son With one already dead, what if he knew that the body of the Minister's wife was stolen by Nan Gong Hua Shuang and that Nan Gong Hua Yun was killed by Nan Gong Hua Shuang Think about it, could he accept that"

"What if the Chancellor knew"

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yumo, "Is there any possibility"

Feng Yu frowned, "Yes."

Feng Ling sighed, "I also feel that there's a possibility. Although Nan Gong Hua Yun is the eldest son, he isn't as outstanding as Nan Gong Hua Shuang. Moreover, the Chancellor's wife behaves this way, and considering what I said to the Chancellor before, it seems the Chancellor's wife doesn't like him."

"Sister, should we still report it"

Feng Yu Mo was in a dilemma. After all, they were already buried. If they dug up the coffin, it would be disrespectful to the deceased. But if they didn't, how could they prove that the Chancellor's wife had died from long-term poisoning

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment and said, "Let me discuss this with your brother-in-law and see what he has to say."

Feng Yu Mo nodded, looking at his elder sister who seemed much more composed now, her face full of smiles.

"Sister, Yumo noticed that you now discuss everything with your brother-in-law. It's different from before."

Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment, remembering what Dugu City had said that day. She nodded slightly, "He said so, as a woman I shouldn't involve myself in everything. Since that's the case, let's ask his opinion and let him handle it."

"My brother-in-law is right, women are meant to be pampered. You shouldn't carry the weight of everything on your shoulders, it's too tiring."

"If that were really the case, how would you address Guli"

When Feng Yu Mo's name was mentioned, Wind Feather's face subtly changed color before quickly composing herself. "Sister, why bring her up again"

Feng Lingxi glanced sideways at Feng Yu, her eyes catching the flicker in his ink-colored pupils. She asked softly, "What's wrong Don't you want to mention her"

"Sister, I told you, Guli and I aren't what you think. She treats me well, but so do I treat her. It's just like that, a sibling's affection, nothing more."

Feng Yu Mo took a deep breath, “Sister, you wouldn’t force me to marry her, would you”

Feng Lingxi was truly surprised to hear this, looking at Feng Yumo's eyes filled with entanglement and worry, she couldn't believe it, "You really don't like her"

"Yes."

Feng Yu Mo raised his hand and swore to the heavens, “I, Feng Yu Mo, swear to heaven that I have only fraternal affection for Gu Li and no romantic feelings whatsoever.”

Wind Ling sighed heavily, "Alright, you're such a naive younger brother. How can there be pure sibling affection between men and women You two have no blood ties, and besides, Gu Li has deep feelings for you. If you truly don't like her, just make it clear to her. Don't hurt her; she doesn't have it easy."

Feng Yu Mo nodded. "Yu Mo told her a few days ago, and Gu Li also knows. She now says that she only sees me as a brother and won't have any inappropriate thoughts about me."

"That's good."

He is such a silly younger brother. How could the woman who has feelings for him just let go of this relationship so easily She sees that Gulli's feelings for Yumo are truly deep, but I hope Gulli can get out of this relationship sooner rather than later.

"Yǔmò, who told you that Nán gōng huá yún was killed by Nán gōng huá shuāng"

Feng Yu Mo mentioned this, and came alive.

“That’s interesting. That’s what Guli told me, she overheard it accidentally while investigating this matter. This is something Nangong Huashuang heard with her own ears, that’s why Nangong Huashuang has been relentlessly pursuing her.”

Feng Ling Xi recalled that day when Gu Li came to find her, she did indeed say that someone was chasing her, but she didn't say it was Nan Gong Hua Shuang.

This silly girl, what if something happens

"Aren't you worried about her getting into trouble"

Feng Yu Mo shook his head, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "Sister, you're unaware, this ancient beauty's light kung fu is unparalleled in the world. As for her hidden weapons, wanting to catch up to her speed, there are probably few people in the world who could."

"Don't be careless, if something goes wrong, what can we do"

Feng Lingxi urged, "Tell her to be more careful. If not, come back first and don't go out adventuring."

"She refused, and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, I can't find her now either." Feng Yu Mo shrugged, looking at his sister's worried eyes and soothingly said, "Sister, don't worry, she'll be fine."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Yu Mo, truly wondering what he was good for. Gu Li saying she wasn't afraid was certainly not true. She didn't want to worry him. A boy so straightforward, how would he ever find a wife in the future

"Your Majesty, the King has returned."

Xiao Li came in and saw Feng Yu Mo had returned, overjoyed she greeted him loudly, "Young Master Feng Yu Mo, you're back"

Feng Yu Mo smiled and nodded, "Just got back, chat with my sister for a bit." Then, she said to Feng Ling Xi, "My brother-in-law is back, let's go discuss important matters with him first."

Feng Lingxi watched Feng Yumo's back walking forward, helplessly shaking her head and hurrying to follow.

"Your Majesty, when the Lord returned just now, he brought back a young woman. She had her face covered, wearing a red dress. Her eyes were like a fox spirit's, so alluring and captivating. And those fox-like eyes seemed to speak, I tell you, all the men in this household have fallen under her spell."

Xiaoli puffed up her cheeks, becoming increasingly agitated as she spoke.

"Including Ye Xi"

Feng Lingxi rarely saw Xiaoli this angry, but it was quite unexpected for a woman to appear beside Dugucheng. Besides, hearing Xiaoli describe her so dramatically, she really wanted to see what the woman looked like.

Xiao Li shook her head, then nodded again.

"Go take a look."

Xiao Li brought Feng Ling Xi to the front yard. From afar, she saw Dugu City and a woman in red standing together. The woman was tall and slender, with a veil covering her face. Her skirt swayed in the wind, giving off an indescribable beauty.

"Your Highness, please hold back for now and find out her identity before speaking."

Xiao Li advised, fearing that the Princess and Prince would quarrel over this woman. If so, wouldn't that just let the vixen have her way

Feng Lingxi smiled, "Isn't she quite pretty Where does such a deep hatred come from You know what kind of person Dugucheng is. If he truly liked these kind of women, all these years there have been countless beauties sent to him. If he liked her, he would have settled things long ago."

"Your Highness, please don't think like that. What if this time is different from before"

Feng Lingxi smiled, and walked towards Dugu City.

"Dugu City."

Feng Lingxi let out a cry, and both Dugu Cheng and the woman in red turned their heads to look at her. Feng Lingxi's pair of slender phoenix eyes were sparkling like water, as if they could speak. Her eyelashes fluttered, making her eyes even more captivating, stealing one's gaze.

What beautiful eyes, just these eyes alone are enough to make you unable to look away.ked over curiously, "What's wrong with you"When Gu Li heard Feng Ling Xi's voice, she quickly got up. Her hands were clasped behind her back and she looked restrained. Her voice was soft, like a chil...
