Chapter 392: Revenge 36

ir tale."Saintess, since your mother already passed the Purple Star Throne to you, why didn't you say anything when you returned""You didn't even ask me, how would I know you didn't know"Feng Lingxi l...Huangfu Qingyun looked at the determination in her eyes, his heart ached beyond measure.

In her heart, there was always hope as long as Dugu City existed, but he didn't know where he belonged.

"If you think that way, I'll rest easy."

Feng Lingxi nodded, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit somber.

Huangfu Qingyun spoke first, "Since you're alright, I'll go rejoin the main army. You should head back as well, don't keep him waiting. If there's anything you need help with in the city, just send someone to notify me and I'll be there immediately."

Feng Ling Xi responded, watching Huangfu Qing Yun take the person away. She stood there for a long while before retracting her gaze.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is very kind to you."

Feng Ling Xi retracted her gaze, "I know, but he wants something I can't give. So I'd rather keep our relationship this way, call him 'Imperial Brother', and treat him like my own brother. That's the only thing I can do now."

Debt of love is the hardest to repay. She never had feelings for Huangfu Qingyun, but due to her mother's reasons, she had a relationship with him as an unmarried couple. And she was grateful to Huangfu Qingyun for his understanding, allowing her to be with Dugu City.

"The Prince's affection for the Crown Princess is also of his own volition. If the Crown Princess doesn't want it, perhaps you could let your children continue their relationship in the future."

Xiao Li's words as soon as they left her mouth, Feng Ling Xi couldn't help but shake her head, "Just let nature take its course. I don't want to be like our mother. If there is true destiny, they will be together. If not, even if this marriage is arranged, it would be in vain and would only bind the children. It's better not to involve ourselves at all from the beginning."

What's most important is, where did she come up with this arranged marriage for her child The only thing the young master of the Huangfu family has is his name; he doesn't even have a single stroke written in his horoscope, let alone anything else.

Upon returning to the Sifang Wangfu from outside the city, Dugu City was not in the mansion. Instead, she saw her mother and Feng Aotien. Upon seeing Feng Aotien, Feng Lingxi naturally didn't give him a good look. She had completely grown cold towards this father of hers.

"Xi'er, congratulations on being cleared of your charges."

Feng Aotian opened his mouth, looking at Feng Lingxi's cold expression, his expression was very stiff. Yao Wan'ying saw this and said to him, "You stay over there, I have something to say to Xier."

"Wan Ying, I'd like to speak with Xi'er alone for a few minutes."

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes stared at Feng Aotien, "What else is there to say between us Not severing our father-daughter relationship is the last line I draw for you."

Feng Aotian's expression grew colder, and his gaze toward Feng Lingxi became complex.

"Xi'er, just listen to what he has to say, Mother is here waiting for you."

Feng Lingxi listened to her mother pleading for Feng Aotiān, and glanced at him. "If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't want to waste time with you."

"Xier, Father knows he has wronged you. Since your illness healed, the family hasn't been like a family anymore. Your elder and third sisters entered the palace as concubines, and your second sister is already gone. Your younger brothers are all still young. Father knows that you hate him for his unfair treatment of you. He doesn't ask for your forgiveness, only that you let go of your younger brothers, they are innocent."

"Brothers"

After all that talk, it turns out it was about those concubines' illegitimate sons. Three younger brothers. She only remembered this Feng Yixuan. She didn't remember being much older than him, and now Feng Yixuan seemed to be working under Dugu Xiu. He was asking for leniency, afraid she would harm Feng Yixuan

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt a chill to her core, only they would be treated like this, forcing Feng Aotian to plead on their behalf in front of her.

And she, was always an outsider to this home.

No matter the past, present, or future, there will never be a place for her in the General's Mansion.

She slightly raised her beautiful eyes, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips, and retorted, "When did I ever have a brother My mother only gave birth to me, a daughter. I never had a brother."

Feng Aotien heard her words and immediately became anxious, saying, "Xier, do you really want to exterminate them all They are all innocent. Your father only has these three sons, your mother is fine now, and you have become the Fourth Princess. Everything is in your grasp. You're not satisfied with this, and you insist on cutting off the Feng family lineage just to feel content"

Feng Lingxi sneered repeatedly, “Such a ruthless extermination In your eyes, am I Feng Lingxi such an existence They are innocent. Yu Yuxi pushed me off the cliff just to gain power and become a concubine. Why don't you say she is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals Now that I haven't done anything, you have already given me the crime of extermination. My dear father, I really want to know, where do you get the face to say these things to me”

She never intended to harm the innocent. If Feng Yixuan insisted on making trouble for her, she would certainly not allow him to bully her. As for the other two younger brothers, she hadn't even thought about what they might do to them. However, in Feng Aotians eyes, she was already a ruthless killer who spared no one.

"Feng Aotian, you are simply not worthy of being my father."

Feng Lingxi dropped a sentence, her eyes coldly sweeping over him, "I'll tell you one last time, I don't start trouble, but if someone troubles me, I will eliminate them!"

Feng Aotian heard her words, his body trembled. In her eyes, he saw the cold killing intent, and fear arose in his heart.

He just wanted to protect the only child of the Feng family, and besides, none of their three brothers had done anything wrong. Why was she so cruel Even if they weren't from the same mother, he was still her flesh and blood.

Seeing Feng Lingxi return with a cold face, Yao Wan'ying hurriedly asked, "Xier, what's wrong Did your father scold you again"

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother's eyes filled with concern, her expression turning slightly cold. "Mother, do you still love him"

Yao WanYing was a little confused by her question, "Xi'er, what do you mean"

"You only need to answer me."

"Between me and your father, there is some affection left, but it's been worn down over the years. Now, to me, only you are the most important. As for him, I've already given up on him."

He begged me to spare his children, saying that I should not go too far.

Yao Wanting's face changed drastically. She looked at Feng Aotian in the distance, her eyes cold and terrifying, "I thought he would help you bring down Empress Cen with you, but I didn't expect him to say these things to you." No wonder Xi'er was so angry. Hearing Xi'er's words, her anger flared up as well.

"It's fine if Mother doesn't love him anymore, I'll just pretend this father never existed."

She was never a general's daughter, she is not one now, and she will never be one in the future.

She just wants to live her own life well, and not let anyone bully her or the people she needs to protect.

"Xi'er, how did you answer him Were you persuaded"

Feng Lingxi looked at the heartache in her mother's eyes and said faintly, "People don't offend me, I don't offend others. If they are content and self-satisfied, they will naturally live a good life. If they insist on attacking me, I will not show mercy. As he said, I will kill them all."

Yao WanYing looked at the coldness in her daughter's eyes, and stepped forward to hug her. "Xi'er, if that day ever comes, you don't need to take action. Mother would help you kill them." In the past, she had been so humble and allowed Xi'er to suffer so much. Now, she wouldn't let Xi'er be harmed again.y last night that you didn't eat the meat I roasted for you."Feng Lingxi thought about her conversation with Dugu Cheng last night. They had only said a few words, but he wouldn't really let her be li...
