tood aside, leaving all the limelight to Zhang. That considerate demeanor pleased Feng Aotian even more."Mother, Xi'er has something to tell you."Windling pulled Zhang to the side. Liu watched them, h...Dugu Cheng interrupted Feng Aotian's words, "General Feng should know that this king's New Year's Eve dinner is to be with his mother concubine. Yu Mo is Xi'er's younger brother, and Xi'er decides where he spends the new year, so this king listens to Xi'er."
Feng Aotian hurriedly looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with pleading.
We'll see then.
It's been a long time since the last Chinese New Year. I don't know what will happen this year. The reunion dinner is still early.
"Xier, has your mother said when she'll be back Could she possibly come back before the New Year"
Feng Aotien, after questioning Feng Yumo, turned his attention to Yao Wan'ying. As the Empress said, Feng Lingxi cared only for her mother, Yao Wan'ying, and Feng Yumo. This Dugu City was like a shadow following her, as long as they controlled Feng Lingxi, they wouldn't worry about anyone else.
When Feng Ling Xi mentioned her mother, a worried look flashed in her beautiful eyes. Her mother had been gone these past few days, and there was no news about her situation. There was also no word from the Yao clan. She didn't know how her mother was doing now.
"I don't know."
Feng Lingxi spoke less, and Feng Aotien didn't dare to ask too much. He brought her to the courtyard that had been redecorated for Yao Wan'ying. Looking at the furniture arrangement inside, these were all things that Yao Wan'ying liked before she married him, all replenished, just to make Yao Wan'ying change her mind and let Feng Lingxi feel his sincerity this time.
Feng Lingxi saw the arrangement in her mother's courtyard. At that moment, she was indeed moved, but only for a fleeting instant, and the feeling disappeared.
If the past could truly vanish with the wind, there wouldn't be so many regrets.
"My mother put a lot of thought and money into decorating this place."
Feng Lingxi said faintly, as if she could see the sickly mother when she first arrived here. It was just that things were different now, both her mother and herself had changed. Her mother wasn't the same frail woman, and she wasn't the same foolish Fourth Miss anymore.
"Wealth is all external. All my father desires is for the family to live in harmony and avoid scheming against each other."
"A lowly servant greets the Fourth Prince, and Lady Four respectfully pays her respects."
Mrs. Zhao arrived gracefully, her clothes matching her status as a concubine perfectly. The title "賤妾" (cheap concubine) she used was enough to make Feng Yuxi secretly raise her thumb in admiration. This mother of Wind and Rain Evening was indeed the champion of palace intrigue, able to bend and stretch as needed. It seemed that General's Manor wasn't a place to be trifled with.
“My lady, I cannot speak for my mother. Whether she will return is not for me to decide. Since you have already made the announcement and become the mistress of General’s Residence, how can you lower yourself like this If this gets out, people will think that my mother is being aggressive and trying to steal your position.”
Wind Ling's words caused Zhao shi's expression to change drastically. She hurriedly explained, "Fourth Princess Consort, this servant truly had no such intention. Since finding out that the Madam is still alive, this servant has planned to return her position as Madam. This servant will always be a servant and can never replace Madam."
Zhao's eyes truly held admiration, a genuine awe for this empress. To see her subject herself to such indignity, to lower her status... it was admirable.
"Why not The mistress is the Empress Dowager's own mother. Don't even mention the position of a general's wife, even if she were bestowed with the title of a first-rank noblewoman, it would be possible."
Zhao trembled and knelt down, "Fourth Royal Wife, please don't say such things. You are humbling your maidservant."
Feng Lingxi helped Zhao shi to her feet, looking at her rosy skin. It was clear she was well-nourished, and her hands were also smooth and soft, not like those of someone who had done hard labor. Such hypocrisy, was it necessary to make a show of it for her
"Xier, Zhao shi is serious. She learned your mother is still alive and cried to me, begging me to give the position of wife back to her. She said that when your mother returns, she will definitely serve her well."
“When my mother returns, you can tell her yourselves. I have no right to make decisions for her.”
I don't want to tell them this. The Empress Dowager, serving her own mother She's just a princess! Even if Mother were the Holy Lord of the Yao clan and the mistress of the General's Mansion, she wouldn't serve the Empress Dowager. Zhao knows this, doesn't she
Feng Lingxi took Dugu City's hand and gave him a knowing smile, "Let's go see Feng Yixuan."
Dugu Cheng readily agreed. As long as Xier was willing, he would go anywhere.
As soon as he thought of her being poisoned by Dugu Yu, Dugu Cheng felt a surge of anger and wanted to confront him. But the look in Xi'er's eyes stopped him, leaving him feeling conflicted.
Feng Lingxi didn't know, but Dugu Cheng couldn't hold back and went to find Dugu Yu. As for what happened that night, Feng Lingxi would never know.
"Go check the kitchen, I'll stay here with them and head to Yi Xuan's later."
Zhao shi responded with a nod, watching Feng Ling xi and Dugu Cheng's departing figures. The humbleness in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a layer of coldness. She bent down and whispered a few words to the maidservant beside her before leaving.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng had just stepped into Feng Yixuan's courtyard when they heard Feng Yixuan frantically yelling, "Whoever wants Feng Lingxi to come, tell them to get lost! I don't ever want to see her again!"
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The more you don't want to see me, the more I want to see you, Yi-Xuan."
Hearing Feng Lingxi's voice, Feng Yixuan excitedly fell from his chair and frantically roared at her, "Feng Lingxi, get out, get out of here!"
"Yi Xuan, don't do this."
Feng Aotian, seeing his son like this, his eyes welled up. He stepped forward wanting to help him up, but Feng Yixuan punched him, leaving a bruise on the corner of his eye.
"Who let her come here I don't want to see her, get her out of my sight, just leave!"
Feng Yixuan waved his hands wildly, his messy hair and disheveled appearance caught Feng Lingxi's eye. His beard was long, making him look twenty or thirty years older, his eyes bloodshot, and his whole body radiated a strong killing intent.
"You're really pathetic like this, not at all like the Feng Yixuan I know."
Feng Lingxi knelt before him, looking at his legs. A cold light flashed in her eyes, but even though his legs were numb, he was like this. It seemed that he wasn't as strong as she had imagined. She could now understand why Feng Aotian would be so humble in front of her.
For Feng Yixuan, Feng Aotien would do anything.
What she couldn't understand was that Feng Yixuan was Feng Linglong's brother, not Feng Yuxi's. So why would Feng Yuxi make such concessions for Feng Yixuan Allowing her own mother to become a concubine... this kind of forbearance was truly baffling.
Feng YiXuan raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, a ferocious expression glaring at Feng LingXi. He suddenly reached out and grabbed towards Feng LingXi's face, but before he could touch her, Du GuCheng blocked him with his hand, kicked him away, and pulled Feng LingXi back to his side.
"Xier, be careful."
"Yixuan..."
Feng Aotien looked at his son who was being kicked, his heart ached and he wanted to step forward, but he held back. He quickly apologized to Dugu City, "Fourth Prince, please forgive me. My son has been mentally unstable since his legs were paralyzed, that's why he did this to Xier. I hope the Fourth Prince will forgive him."
Dugu City coldly scanned Feng Yixuan, his voice angry, "Since you're mad, then keep him locked up well, don't treat him anymore."
