e Prince actually liked it very much.She truly didn't understand, why was she inferior to Feng Lingxi She was the emperor's niece and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Water Affairs.Feng Lin...Duke Gucheng saw the change in this person's attitude, his brows furrowed slightly. He looked at the carriage, but no one came down. This was really a huge show of power. It seemed that even he, the King of Chen, was not as prestigious as the eldest son of the Prime Minister.

The guard, seeing Dugu City looking into the carriage, hurriedly walked up to the front of the carriage and whispered, "Young Master Huayun, it's His Highness, Prince Chen."

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a handsome young man emerged. He walked toward Dugu City and bowed, "Nan Gong Huayun greets Your Highness, the King of Chen."

"Your Majesty just returned to the county today. I wonder when Lord Huayun arrived in Linxi County Your Majesty hasn't had the chance to show a host's hospitality yet. Why don't we go to the palace together This way, Your Majesty can properly entertain me."

Nan Gong Huayun's face remained unchanged, and she calmly explained, "I came here by imperial order. I am staying at the inn now, and tomorrow I will personally visit the Prince of Chen. My servant was impolite earlier and bumped into Your Highness. Huayun apologizes to Your Highness on behalf of my servant and hopes that Your Highness will forgive us."

"Since you are here on a mission, then we shall meet tomorrow."

Dugu City didn't mention what had just happened. It seemed that the Emperor truly valued the influence of the Empress's family, and judging by the just-now display, the Prime Minister's Residence probably wasn't shy about showing off its power in public.

"Please, Your Highness."

Nan Gong Huayun proactively stepped aside, and the carriage behind him naturally parted to make way. Even though he was sent by the Emperor, here in Dugu City, he should still give face. His father had specifically instructed him not to offend Prince Chen, there was no need to tear up their relationship and create a feud.

Feng Lingxi had been watching from the carriage for so long, she was impressed by Nan Gong Huayun's composure. As expected of someone from the Prime Minister's residence, it seemed he came here on an imperial decree, and there was probably nothing good about it.

The carriage passed by Nángōng Huá yún, who remained respectful throughout until the convoy from Chén Wangfu had completely left. Only then did he return to his carriage.

"Sir, do you really need to let him go You are the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor, he is just…"

"Shut up, go back to the post house."

Nan Gong Huayun coldly snorted, lowered the curtain, and ordered people to move forward.

He knew full well that he was a special envoy, but his father's instructions were paramount. This Duke Duguo wasn't an ordinary prince; he commanded 500,000 soldiers who followed him with unwavering loyalty. Even when the court ignored him, he still managed to do this, which showed how highly regarded he was among the people. The title of "War God" wasn't given lightly. Without true ability, could he have earned the soldiers' unwavering devotion

Back at the manor, Feng Lingxi dismounted. Upon hearing of their return, the entire Wangfu had been waiting to greet them. Standing at the front gate was Wan'er.

Seeing her parents return, Wan'er smiled and rushed over, throwing her arms around Duguo Cheng's legs.

"Daddy, Wan'er misses you so much."

"What, don't you miss your mother"

Dugu Cheng held his daughter up and glanced at Feng Lingxi. Seeing Wan'er looking at Feng Lingxi, he softly said, "You do, but you miss father more."

After finishing her words, she kissed Dugu City. This difference in treatment made Feng Lingxi very upset.

"It seems that Mother is really not as important in your heart as Father."

"Who told Mother not to give me a younger brother."

Feng Lingxi's expression stiffened slightly as she looked at Dugu City. Seeing her reaction, Dugu City hurriedly explained, "Xier, this is definitely not what I said. I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts."

"It was Master who said it, Master said that Mother is lazy and doesn't want to give Wan'er a younger brother."

When she returned, Wan'er kept urging her to have a younger brother. This was something that Luoli told Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi wasn’t angry but instead was concerned about how much Luoli had told Wan'er while she wasn’t at the Chen Wangfu.

"When did I ever say these things to you"

After my parents left, my master would come to play with me every day.

Every day

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Cheng, seeing his unusual expression. It was clear he didn't know about this either. Not wanting to question Wan'er here, she let Dugu Cheng take Wan'er into the house.

"Waner, Father and Mother just returned from Tumu Town. They are really exhausted, so let's not talk about having another brother for now. We can discuss it again after a while, okay"

Du Gu Cheng patiently explained, and Wan'er nodded her head, her eyes looking at her mother with sympathy.

"Mother, are you very tired Wan'er will help you massage your shoulders later, okay"

Feng Lingxi, hearing Wan'er's concerned tone, nodded and smiled, "Okay, after mother finishes washing up, I'll let Wan'er knead for me. You've been working so hard lately."

"Didn't Xiaoli give you a massage"

Wan'er's soft voice carried a hint of questioning, and the young Li hurried to explain, "Lady Wan, I have been taking care of the patient this whole time and haven't had time to give the Princess a shoulder massage."

"You are taking care of your mother, not someone else's."

Listening to Wan'er's commanding tone, Feng Lingxi was surprised. It seemed that Luo Li had spent quite a lot of time with Wan'er.

"Wan'er, saving people and treating the sick comes first. Besides, Xiaoli hasn't even played, she's also saved many people."

"But she was still her mother's maidservant. Her master said that there is a distinction between master and servant. Serving one's mistress well is the only way to avoid being dismissed, if even this cannot be done, what use is she"

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli beside her and whispered, "You go to rest first."

Xiao Li glanced at Wan'er and then went downstairs first.

"Wǎn'ěr, did Luólǐ really tell you this"

Of course, the master told Wan'er that from now on, Wan'er was to inherit the position of Yaozu chieftain, a noble status. She must understand the distinction between master and servant, and not lose her identity.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City. The couple clearly didn't expect Luo Li to say these words to Wan'er.

"Where's my aunt Why hasn't she come out"

"My aunt is not feeling well, so she hasn't come to see me."

"Is Xiaomi feeling uncomfortable"

Feng Lingxi was full of doubts. Xiaomi's body was fine, so why was she feeling unwell Luo Li had been going to the Chen Wangfu every day to teach Wan'er these things. Xiaomi was taking care of Wan'er. Could there be some misunderstanding between them that made Xiaomi feel sick

Thinking of this, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but worry about Xiaomi's safety.

"Wan'er, why don't you accompany your father for a walk first Let your mother go wash up, okay"

Du Gu Cheng saw Feng Ling Xi's worry, and said to Wan Er. Seeing Wan Er agree, he gave Feng Ling Xi a look, and Feng Ling Xi went to find Tian Xiao Mi.

"Wan'er, did Luoli come to find you today"

Du Gu Cheng instructed Ye Xi and then returned to the courtyard with Wan'er. Along the way, he asked about Luo Li's interactions with Wan'er during this time. From Wan'er, he learned that Luo Li had come to Chen Wangfu to teach Wan'er martial arts, calligraphy, how to be a mistress, and how to differentiate between treating masters and servants. He also told Wan'er that after she turned ten, she would return to Yaozu with him to become the clan leader, all related to Yaozu.

Not only that, from Wan'er's tone of voice and her attitude, Dugu City also discovered that Wan'er particularly believed what Luoli said. She talked about her master all the time, and everything Luoli said, she agreed with.ry cute.Feng Lingxi was originally worried that he and Feng Aotian would be the same. Now, listening to him speak, it seems that this grandfather is somewhat different from Feng Aotian."Let's not talk...
