g my help, wanting to secure her position. After all, now the only one who can oppose Dugu Xiu is you."Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City without making a sound and explained, "Don't worry, I didn't agre..."I don't want to be angry with you." Feng Lingxi averted her eyes, though she knew Lu Nian didn't mean any harm. She just couldn't accept any topic that could hurt the people around her, even friends she had only known for a few days.

Feng Yixuan and Tian Xiaomi returned to the capital. Feng Yixuan, the eldest son of Zhen Guogong's mansion, lived a pretty good life. Tian Xiaomi had given birth to a son who was already three years old.

Feng Lingxi hummed in response. Five years had passed, and it was normal for Tian Xiaomi to have children. She had already had two.

"Also, there's one more thing."

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi's slightly cold expression, "I told you not to be angry"

Feng Lingxi nodded, and only then did Lu Nian stammer, "Wan'er and Dugu Cheng's relationship has deteriorated since you left. The Empress Dowager added many concubines to his courtyard, but he didn't want any of them. Those women who couldn't stand the loneliness all met with misfortune."

He had chilled Wan'er's heart.

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, who was happily playing with the old lady and grandfather in the hall. She was still a child after all. Looking at the smile on Wan'er's face, Feng Lingxi thought, she would never let her return to Dugu City again. As long as she could have enough to eat, she would definitely not starve her child.

"Xier, tell Big Brother the truth, have you gotten married in these past five years"

Lu Nian forced a smile and asked, Feng Ling Xi gave him a cold stare. Her sharp eyes were like blades, making Lu Nian stammer as he explained, "I'm just worried about you. As you know, the Crown Prince is here today. If you get married, we can just decline his invitation."

"Isn't the Lu family wealthy"

Feng Lingxi stared at Lu Nian, and seeing him nod, she asked again, "Have I been recognized as family with the Lu family"

"No."

Wind howls and he spreads his arms wide.

"That's it then. Since my family and the Lu family are not acquainted, if the crown prince wants Miss Lu to marry him, I have nothing to do with it, as long as I am not Miss Lu. Furthermore, if the Lu family wants me back as their Miss and let me marry the crown prince, I'm very sorry to say that I won't."

Lu Nianzhen was in a hurry and explained, "Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to know if you were married. If you don't want to marry into our family, we absolutely won't force you. Besides, father, mother, and grandpa and grandma wouldn't agree to this marriage either."

Feng Lingxi remained silent, just staring at Lu Nian. Suddenly, she understood something and chuckled wryly to herself.

Why was she still thinking about Dugu City Today was really frustrating. Ever since arriving here, she had been listening to Lu Nian talk about him, and it was bothering her.

"Wan'er, bring her here. You don't need to take her back. I will take her away and she will live with me from now on."

"Sister, I can't agree to this. If Wan'er stayed here, not only would Dugu City disagree, but Luo Li over there wouldn't either. Besides, the Su Yue by Wan'er's side is a dark guard of the Yao clan, and she isn't the only one who came with her."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes narrowed, staring at Lu Nian's earnest expression. That look was so cold it made Lu Nian subconsciously swallow hard.

"Sister, don't look at me like that. I'm just telling the truth. Wan'er is not someone you can take away."

Before she goes back, Wǎn'er will live with me, she won't stay here.

Feng Lingxi knew that Lu Nian was right. Su Yue's martial arts were not weak. Not to mention the Yue clan Su Yue, even within the Yue clan, it would be impossible for them to keep Wan'er by her side forever. They would definitely find a way to take Wan'er away.

Lu Nian nodded. As long as her younger sister was happy, she could stay with Wan'er for a while. It was enough as long as she could visit them occasionally.

Feng Lingxi got up and walked toward the hall. Lu Nian hurriedly reached out to pat her chest, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Sister, like this, I'm afraid that Dugu City is truly finished."

"Xi'er, are you done talking with your older brother"

Lu Hao watched Feng Lingxi walk in, smiling and greeting her, but he found that Feng Lingxi's face was not good. He subconsciously glanced at Lu Nian outside, a fire burning in his heart. You little brat, you angered Axi as soon as you came back. Let's see how I deal with him later.

Feng Ling Xi, to everyone's surprise, responded and sat beside Lu Hao. Lu Hao, seeing Feng Ling Xi acknowledge him, was a bit taken aback. Did this treatment mean that Xi Er had started to accept him

"Xiaofeng, your uncle has already informed the Emperor about the situation. The Emperor has sent people to take over this matter and will investigate to clear my name. These days, I will have to undergo an investigation."

Tao Su spoke first, thinking that Xiaofeng probably wanted to know the progress of this matter.

"Then it's settled. Once we uncover the truth and clear your name, you'll be free."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Lu Hao, "Thank you."

You don't need to thank me, if you truly want to thank someone, thank the mistress. It was she who spoke to the emperor.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu Hao, seeing that he didn't speak, she didn't say anything more. Because of what Lu Nian and she had just said, her emotions were still unsettled.

"Mother, the greeting gift that my great-grandparents gave me."

Wan'er held a jade pendant in her hand. It was of the same quality as the one carried by the Lu family, a priceless piece of mutton fat jade, which only members of the Lu family were eligible to wear.

"Mother, look, there's still my name."

Wan'er's small face was filled with joy, she pointed to the Wan'er on the jade pendant and showed it to Feng Lingxi. The joy on her face made Feng Lingxi nod along.

"Like it"

"Like, this is Wan'er's own, not Uncle's."

Waner held the jade pendant tightly, "My great-grandparents said that this was unique to the Lu family. No one else has it, and Wan'er had prepared this five years ago."

"Have you thanked them"

Feng Lingxi stroked Wan'er's head and looked at Wan'er's excited childish appearance. This is how she should be at this age.

"I've already apologized. Wan'er agreed to stay here with my great-grandfather and great-grandmother for a few more days."

Nodding at the smile on Wan'er's face.

If you like it here, Wan'er, stay for two more days.

The old matriarch and the old patriarch exchanged glances, taking in Feng Lingxi's expression as they walked towards her.

"Xier, don't you want to stay at the Lu mansion This trip down the mountain, aren't you leaving again"

Mrs. Lu became anxious too.

"Xier, this mansion has prepared a place for you to live. This is your home now. It's rare that Wan'er came here, why don't you and she stay in the mansion for a while"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Fu's pleading eyes and said apologetically, "Madam, I've already arranged a house, and it's on the street. My master and I will be living together there."

"Why don't you call your master over here The Lu family is so big, he can come to the house with you."

The old grandfather and grandmother quickly said, seeing Feng Lingxi's embarrassment, they hurriedly said, "We just want to stay with you for a while longer."

Does this child really hate her father this much

This time, she's come back and refuses to acknowledge them. Now, even wanting her to stay in the mansion is met with refusal, truly causing them great distress.ll thinking about getting married! Have you ever thought about what it means to be a member of the Feng family"She wasn't properly sent out of Linxi County, let alone that, not sending her back to the...
