ning to his earnest advice, felt a mixture of emotions. Did he speak from personal experience"Oh, and this too, take it."Feng Aotian took a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to her. "This is th..."I didn't say anything before, wasn't it all for your and your mother's sake If it hadn't come to this, do you think I would have spoken up about this"

Feng Aotian's eyes were blood red, and after revealing the secret he had kept hidden in his heart for ten years, a sense of relief washed over him. However, he was still unwilling to accept it.

Wind Ling was at a loss for words. Her feelings were a tangled mess right now. Her mother had never spoken to her about these things before, just as Feng Aotien said, she really didn't know her mother very well.

Had she not spoken today, she might have believed her whole life that she was the daughter of Feng Aotiān.

Knowing that she wasn't Feng Aotian's daughter, Feng Lingxi thought about his attitude towards her and found it reasonable.

"Who is my father"

Feng Lingxi fell silent for a moment before asking the question she yearned to know the answer to. Feng Aotian looked at her face, he was handsome in his youth, but there was a vast difference between his features and hers. Feng Lingxi inherited most of her traits from her mother, Yao Wan'ying. If not for that, he feared he would have been ridiculed long ago.

I don't know, she didn't say.

I don't really know or maybe you just don't want to tell me.

Feng Ling Xi asked, lowering his voice, "Tell me the truth, and I will let Feng Yu Xi go."

"I really don't know, I haven't lied to you no matter whether you let her go or not."

Feng Lingxi didn't have any doubts about Feng Aotian's words this time, and she didn't know where to start. She just believed him.

"Go back to the inn."

Feng Lingxi waved her tired hand, "I will think about the matter of Yu Xi again."

This time, Feng Aotiantian didn't speak up for Feng Yuxi either. He turned and left.

"Are you really not the father's daughter"

Feng Yixuan hesitated, if it wasn't his father's daughter, then she wouldn't be his sister.

"Don't worry, I still see you as my little brother, just like Yu Mo."

Feng YiXuan nodded, the gleam in his eyes brought Feng LingXi much comfort, “You want to see her, I’ll have Xiao Li take you there, and you can have a good talk with her.”

Thank you, sister.

Feng Yixuan's nervous face was now filled with joy. Feng Lingxi let Xiaoli take Feng Yixuan to see Tian Xiaomi, and she finally came back to her senses.

"Aren't you finding this ridiculous After all this time, I'm not even his biological child."

“Actually, I should have suspected it earlier. After all, you two really don't look alike.”

Dugu Cheng examined Feng Lingxi carefully, and the more he looked, the less she seemed like who she claimed to be.

"Come on, that's not even funny."

Feng Lingxi felt downcast, "I never expected my mother to keep this from me for so long. It seems the Yao clan really has a lot of stories behind it."

"Don't worry about these things, just live our lives well, marry me. Now you are the Fourth Princess Consort. As for the Yao Clan matters, just focus on what you are currently managing. If your mother comes looking for you, we can figure things out then."

"Feng Yu Xi must know something."

Feng Ling was reluctant to tell her anything, and she didn't know what she knew. Was the person behind this someone from the Yao clan Was it Luo Li What were their intentions

Feng Ling Xi had too many doubts, but she didn't know where to start. She just wanted to know if this would be harmful to her and the people around her.

She knows that not telling you would only cause you more worry, but you're thinking about it so much anyway.

Dugu Cheng reached out and touched her head, "Don't think about it, I'll be heartbroken to see you like this."

"I don't want to think about it anymore." Not being biologically related was shocking enough; she simply didn't have the mental energy to consider anything else.

"I want to go see Wan'er. I miss her a little."

Wind Ling walked towards Shu Taifei's courtyard. Dugu Cheng saw this and followed her.

"Wǎn'er."

Feng Lingxi called out, and Wan'er, who was playing nearby, ran to her side and beamed a bright smile.

They were all sweating and didn't even wipe it off.

Although Wanna was still unwilling to call her, the way Feng Lingxi and Wanna interacted had improved a lot. After Feng Lingxi wiped Wanna's sweat, Wanna ran away again.

Shu Taifei looked at Feng Ling Xi's sorrow in her eyes and walked up to her. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly greeted her.

"Mother."

"Something on your mind"

Feng Lingxi nodded and walked to the side to sit down.

I met Feng Aotiantian today, destroyed the imperial decree, and caught Feng Yuxi. I won everything.

"That's not good, what are you worried about"

Feng Lingxi looked at Shu Taifei, "Mother Empress, have you known my mother for a long time"

It's not a long time, just that she spent more time with her after getting married. So how did you bring up your mother

Feng Lingxi saw the puzzlement in her mother's eyes and didn't want to hide it from her.

"Today Feng Aotian told me that I'm not his biological daughter, that my father is someone else. Do you know about this"

"Okay."

Unexpectedly, Shu Taifei's words left Feng Lingxi astonished, "Mother Concubine, you know my father isn't him"

"You don't resemble him at all. Besides, your mother was already pregnant before she married your father. Both I and your Imperial Father knew about it. It's just that your father agreed to marry her back then, they truly had feelings for each other at the time."

"So, Feng Aotien only married my mother because he liked her"

"What really happened back then, only they know. I just know a little bit on the surface. Your mother doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't feel comfortable asking."

"It turns out Feng Aotien really didn't lie to me, I'm not really his biological child. No wonder he hates me so much."

"It's not like I dislike you." Shutai held her hand, "Think about it, if you were him, would you treat you well"

Feng Lingxi's eyes were dim, if she were in her place, perhaps she would be the same

After all, she wasn't her biological daughter. No matter how much she liked her, how could she face a child who wasn't hers every day Plus, the relationship between the two had already faded away, and there was no reason to be good to her anymore.

Now that I think about it, Feng Aotien has also been good to his mother.

He married his aunt, but he never demoted her from the position of mistress.

Feng Aotian was a righteous man before he married your mother. After their marriage, they had many conflicts, and over time, both of them changed from who they used to be.

When Shu Taifei finished speaking, she patted Feng Lingxi's hand. "Don't take his words to heart too much. After all, you and he don't have anything to do with each other now."

"Mother, my mother has never told me these things."

She didn't tell me either.

Shu Taifei smiled, "A person living, how can everything be clear It's too tiring to live like that."

But...

Feng Lingxi was about to say something more when Shu Taifei interrupted, “I’m going to find Wan'er. You, don’t overthink things, and let Cheng’er accompany you out for a walk and clear your head.”

Seeing Dugu City walking over, Shu Taifei stood up and beckoned to Wan'er, "Wan'er, come with grandma to the kitchen and see what we're having today."

"Mother is right, don't think too much, I'll accompany you for a walk."

"Where to"

"Go take a look, it's the perfect time to graze sheep now. I told Ye Xi to buy one back, and I'll roast a whole lamb for you tonight."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Later, I'll let Yi Xuan try it too. Although this time I know that I'm not Feng Aoteng's biological daughter, I found a younger brother, so it's not a loss." severe drought occurred at that time, resulting in no harvest for the people.
