Brother White told her some things about here, but she still couldn't escape. The Heavenly Revelation Country was restless around the surrounding nations. She thought, should she run away or will she..."Every woman in the world dreams of being an empress, but you are the exception."

Tao Su gazed at Feng Ling Xi, and seeing her smile, he smiled along.

"Let's just watch the commotion for a bit, and then we can talk."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, and like the onlookers around her, she stared at the main entrance of Lu's mansion. She watched people coming and going, but none of them looked familiar.

The Lu Family

The elderly matriarch and patriarch sat above, watching the Crown Prince arrive with his dowry. The expressions of everyone in the Lu family changed. This Crown Prince was twenty-five years old, tall and straight, handsome beyond compare. His bearing exuded nobility, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Even so, the Lu family didn't regard the crown prince as worthy of their attention.

The atmosphere in the Lu family's hall was extremely awkward. The crown prince smiled and saw that both the head of the Lu family and the grandmother were present, which was somewhat unexpected. The two elders of the Lu family rarely left their ancestral home except for major events. Their presence today must be related to Feng Lingxi.

"Your Highness, there's something I need to clarify with you. That girl has no familial ties to our Lu family. She refused to acknowledge any relationship with us. With Your Highness bringing people here today to propose a marriage, isn't this a bit hasty"

The old matriarch spoke, and the elderly patriarch beside her tugged at her sleeve, reminding her of her status.

He is the crown prince, one has to give him face.

"Grand Matriarch, today I came here to discuss the marriage arrangements as per the Imperial Grandfather's decree. If there is any offense, I hope that Grand Matriarch and Grand Master will forgive me."

The old lady sighed, "If that girl had been recognized by the Lu family and hadn't married, I would be happy to let her agree to this marriage. But she is already a married woman with a daughter, she is simply not worthy of being the prince's bride."

"Grandmother, the Emperor said that Yunfan can get to know Miss Lu first. Yunfan also knows that Miss Lu is already married and has a daughter, but isn't she divorced from the Prince of Chen of the Great Yuan Dynasty Yunfan doesn't mind her past marriage."

"This…"

The old matriarch looked at the elderly patriarch beside her. This crown prince was too reckless! There are so many women in this world, why would he be so fixated on this so-called purple qi and have such thoughts about his own granddaughter

Although the Crown Prince is a perfect match in every way, it's important to get A-er's agreement. If she doesn't agree, forget about the marriage; I fear she won't even want to return to the Lu family.

"Grandson, let's not talk about your marriage for now. Such a big matter is beyond our control. Why don't we wait until Xier returns home and ask her opinion Then we can discuss how to proceed."

Lady Lu is the aunt's niece, this Lady Lu is known for her weighty words. Today's events, she truly did not expect them. If Xi'er were here, seeing this scene, she would probably be so angry that she wouldn't want to return home.

"Yunfan understood."

The Crown Prince bowed to them, "Take the betrothal gifts back." He then looked at the matriarch and patriarch, bowing, "Yunfan will return first. We'll come again before the departure, once Miss Lu returns."

"Thank you, Grandson. I understand."

The crown prince's entourage emerged carrying gifts, appearing at the entrance of the Lu residence. The onlookers immediately buzzed with excitement.

"He is the Crown Prince, so handsome! This Miss Lu must be truly fortunate."

"Didn't Miss Lu from the prominent family already have a betrothal She even has a child, and this Crown Prince doesn't seem to mind, he even wants her to be his crown princess. This daughter of the Lu family is truly remarkable."

"Who wouldn't let her be the eldest Miss Lu"

There was constant discussion, and the imperial grandson's carriages continuously brought gifts and then took them back. The people were curious about this, even Feng Lingxi.

"The betrothal gifts have been taken back, so the Lu family must have rejected it, right"

Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su, seeing him gaze in confusion at the departing dowry. “Should we go in”

"Just hold on and see what happens."

Tao Su stopped Feng Lingxi, this imperial grandson's marriage proposal, bringing gifts and taking them back, this is not afraid of being laughed at, if he was rejected, this would be terrible to spread.

"Why don't you go take a look I'll be waiting here for you."

Tao Su nodded, glanced at the nearly departed guards, "Wait for me here, I'll go check the situation first."

Feng Lingxi watched Tao Su walk past, saw him say a few words to the guards, and the guards hurriedly ran inside. Soon, Tao Su returned.

"All of the emperor's grandson's people have left, let's go in."

Wind Lingxi glanced at the surrounding people who had dispersed, and then went to Lu's house with Tao Su. The Lu family had quite a few people coming and going every day, and their whereabouts didn't attract much attention.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, Miss Sun is back."

The guard excitedly came in to report, and the old lady sitting there immediately got up, excitedly walking towards the outside. Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, anxiously instructing, “Mother, slow down. Xi'er is back, she won't run away.”

I have to see her come in myself, or I won't feel at ease.

The old matriarch chuckled gleefully, "This time about the emperor's grandson, you mustn't tell her. It would frighten her. I only trust you two."

"Yes."

Mrs. Lu smiled and supported the elderly Mrs. Lu as they went out. Feng Lingxi and Tao Su had already entered from the door. Seeing the elderly Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu come out, they hurried forward, "Grandmother Lu, Mrs. Lu, how did you come out"

"Xier, you really came back, I thought they were deceiving me."

When the old madam saw Feng Lingxi, she was so happy that she looked like a child. She pulled her inside, and Feng Lingxi supported the old madam, calling out "Madam Lu". She saw the old master and Lu Hao following behind and greeted them before allowing the old madam to lead her to the front hall.

"Grandmaster Lu, Master Lu, long time no see."

Tao Su watched Feng Ling Xi being dragged away, and greeted Lu Hao and the old grandfather who remained. He had seen the status and identity of this man from the Lu family, but it was negligible. The Lu family was all about women speaking, men were just decorations.

"Young Master Tao, thank you again for bringing Xi'er back. Let's go inside and talk."

Lu Hao greeted, Tao Su responded, and followed them into the front hall. His eyes swept over the courtyard, noticing that many maidservants were staring at him. Their gazes held a scrutinizing quality. Tao Su lowered his gaze, choosing not to look back.

"Xier, you're finally here! Guess who came"

Lady Lu was as playful as a little girl, and before Feng Lingxi could speak, the old lady interrupted, "Quickly go call Wan'er for me. I've arrived, but I haven't even seen my granddaughter yet."

"Mother, it wasn't just..."

Mrs. Lu swallowed the words that were about to come out, changing the subject.

"I'll go call Wan'er right now."

Mrs. Lu, I have a question for you. Has Wan'er ever spoken ill of me to you

Knowing that Wan'er had arrived, Feng Lingxi felt a knot of tension in her stomach. She longed to see her daughter but feared Wan'er's anger. What if, upon meeting, Wan'er refused to acknowledge her Her heart pounded with fear and apprehension.ed and beckoned to Xiao Li. Xiao Li hesitated, looking at Dugu City beside her. Seeing him nod, she walked to Feng Lingxi's side and sat close to the princess. Feng Lingxi gave Xiao Li a large bowl of...
