it for a long time, even risking death.Along the way, Feng Lingxi heard news of Wan'er and Luoli. She learned that Wan'er had fallen ill with a fever during their journey, and her heart clenched with...After Feng Linglong left, Zhang hurriedly knelt before Liu and checked her face. Confirming that she was truly dead, her face paled even further. Liu was the general's beloved, and now she was like this. She feared she would be scolded severely.
"Grandma Liu, report to the officials and say that Madam Liu attempted to harm General Feng's concubine, Zhao Shi, but failed. In a fit of anger, she bit her tongue and committed suicide."
Dugu City spoke, and specially instructed Liu Ma to spread the word about what happened today. His woman couldn't be labeled as a poisonous woman. If she was wronged, she deserved to be cleared of suspicion.
"Mother, please send someone to inform Father to return and handle Liu Shi's funeral arrangements."
Feng Lingxi watched Feng Lingyu kneeling before Liu Shi, and took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and threw it to her. “Clean your wound properly and apply this to the wound every day, it won't leave a scar.”
Feng Lingyu hastily picked up the medicine bottle, staring at Feng Lingxi in disbelief, "You weren't going to ruin my appearance Why are you saving me now"
"I never wanted to truly ruin your looks. I only scratched your face so you could taste the feeling of what it's like for Third Sister to have her face scarred by you. And by the way, experience the taste of losing your beauty and becoming useless."
Fei Ling Yu clenched her fists, "My older sister didn't use me, she just hates that I'm useless."
"Take care of your injuries properly. If you stop causing a fuss, perhaps you'll find a suitable match. The Sixth Prince is not right for you."
With her intelligence level, marrying into the royal family would be a disaster. All that scheming and backstabbing, she wouldn't last a day. She'd be better off marrying an honest man.
"Don't worry, even if I wanted to marry the Sixth Prince now, he wouldn't take a woman like me." Soon, news of her snake-hearted cruelty, disfiguring her own sister and killing their mother, would spread far and wide. How could the Sixth Prince possibly still want to marry her then
News of Liu's suicide spread quickly. Wind Lingxi intervened in the management of the General's House concubines, leading to a concubine's suicide by biting her tongue. This also led to two different opinions: one saying she meddled too much and killed the concubine, and the other saying she did a good job, calling her chivalrous and righteous.
Feng Lingxi didn't care what people thought of them. After all, she hadn't expected this to be a matter that wouldn't be discussed.
Besides, she straightened her posture as a wife, which also let people know that Feng Lingxi was not someone to be trifled with.
Feng Aotien was shocked to learn about Liu's video call. After regaining his composure, he entrusted the aftermath to Zhang's handling. To the outside world, he claimed that Liu was jealous and ruthless, intending to ruin Feng Yu Xi's face. After being taught a lesson by Feng Ling Xi, she became enraged and committed suicide by biting her tongue.
When Feng Linglong learned what her father had said about her, she was furious. Because of this, the Crown Prince ignored her, and the Crown Princess mocked her, making Feng Linglong's life miserable.
"Xi'er, leave this matter to your stepmother, let's go back first."
In just two days, the General's Mansion went from celebration to mourning, becoming the talk of the town in every teahouse and market.
Feng Lingxi was exhausted from all the commotion, instructed Zhang shi a few words, and then left the General's Mansion.
On the carriage, Feng Lingxi remained silent throughout the journey. She felt something was amiss today, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"Why aren't you speaking Are you still angry Your Majesty, I truly didn't touch any courtesans last night. I only went there to drink…"
Dugu Cheng explained that he thought she was angry with him and wouldn't speak to him, but after talking for a while, he saw Feng Lingxi's attention wasn't on him. He said something, but she didn't react at all. He reached out and waved his hand in front of her face. Feng Lingxi came back to her senses and looked at him.
"Master, is there something the matter"
獨孤城 was terribly downcast, he had talked to her for a long time, wouldn't she have heard anything at all
"Didn't you just hear what I said to you"
"Feng Lingxi apologized, saying, 'I'm sorry, I was just lost in thought. Your Highness, please repeat yourself.'"
Hearing her apologize to him, Dugu City was restless. This was the first time Xi'er had ever done so. She wouldn't be frightened by today's events, would she Otherwise, why would she apologize to him
Otherwise, why not just keep quiet about it for now while she hasn't heard
Anyway, if Xier doesn't ask, he won't say anything.
"Xier, what are you thinking about You seem so absorbed."
Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "Things are a little strange today."
"Are you saying that Liu's death was suspicious, or are you saying something else"
“From today onwards, I can't tell where things went wrong.”
Dugu Cheng looked at the doubt in her eyes, "Xi'er, do you think your third sister is a little too calm"
She didn't want to think about the events of Wind and Rain Evening, but Dugu City's words drew her back in. Indeed, Wind and Rain Evening's performance was unexpected.
"For a commoner girl, for her and her mother to live under General Liu's wife's nose so peacefully, without fighting or grabbing anything, even managing to protect themselves... Xi'er truly wonders if Madam Liu is being genuinely kind"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, “You suspect Zhao Shi and Yu Xi”
Dugu Cheng raised a slight smile, the shrewdness in his eyes made Feng Lingxi look at him differently.
Is she too foolish, or is he Dugu City too shrewd
“A girl’s chastity and face are the most important things. Even if her beauty is ruined by wind and rain, she doesn't complain, only silently endures. Even when we arrived, she didn't show any dissatisfaction or resentment. Rabbits become frantic and will jump over walls, but Feng Yuxi and Zhao shi's composure is truly puzzling.”
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi feel like she had been calculated.
But that doesn't rule out the possibility that they could really be a mother and daughter.
Feng Lingxi fell into deep thought, Dugu Cheng's words made all the guesses in her heart clear.
"This matter has blown up so much, and even Grandmother Liu hasn't handled it well. No one informed me either. It seems that Grandmother Liu truly doesn't see me as the Princess Consort in her eyes. You should just keep her for yourself. I can't use someone like this."
When it comes to Liu Mama, Dugu City frowned slightly, "Liu Mama's matter, this king is also dissatisfied with. If you don't want to see her, this king will sell her."
"These are all your affairs, Your Highness need not ask me."
When the carriage arrived at the palace, Feng Ling Xi jumped down and strode into the palace without looking back. Du Gu Cheng saw her expression and his face turned cold. Thinking of what happened last night at the brothel, he hurried over, "Xi'er, this king has something to tell you, about last night..."
Feng Lingxi's footsteps came to a halt, she turned her head and looked at Dugu Cheng's anxious eyes, coldly stating, "You don't need to tell me about Wang Ye's affairs."
"Xier, are you jealous I swear to heaven, I didn't go to a brothel. I was just there drinking. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yexi."
Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over Ye Xi behind him. Ye Xi was just about to testify for his master, the king, when he heard Feng Lingxi say, "He belongs to the king. Could he possibly stand on my side"
She admitted that he was at a brothel last night. She was indeed uncomfortable, but she wanted to overcome it and not let Dugu City control her emotions.o Li.Inside the Temple of Land, Yao Wan'ying stood at the back door, watching Feng Lingxi's receding figure, her eyes full of reluctance."Master, since you are unwilling to let the Princess leave, why...
