ould protect the princess and the king's marriage as compensation.Huangfu Qingyun let out a cold snort. "Hearing you say that, this palace shouldn't interfere in their feelings. Xi’er has lost her mem...To prevent Feng Lingxi from misunderstanding, Lu Hao added, "This is also what the mistress meant."
After Taosu's matter is resolved, I will return to Dayuan. I have things to do there.” Although my mother doesn't allow me to acknowledge Lu Hao, he is helping me now, and Feng Lingxi feels that she doesn't need to compete with him. She will still tell him what she can say.
Or, this is where she differs from her mother, Yao Wan Ying.
Lu Hao abandoned Yao Wan Ying and Feng Ling Xi, while she was just a lone soul from another world living in Feng Ling Xi's body. She couldn't be swayed by their words all the time; she just wanted to live life her own way.
Wan'er is her daughter, the one she gave birth to. This time, she was willing to come down the mountain for Wan'er. After all, Wan'er will be going to the Yao Clan in two years. If what her mother had said back then was true, she had to help her daughter settle matters with the Yao Clan.
It doesn't matter who the chieftain is, as long as no one hurts her daughter.
Feng Ling Xi thought, she was living now, besides for herself, also for her child. After all, they carried her bloodline.
"Could you stay at the mansion for a few more days Even if you don't stay at the mansion, staying in Xigu Kingdom is fine. Your grandparents know you've come back, they are very excited and want to keep you for a few more days. And the Empress Dowager, she also wants to see you."
Lu Hao's words made Feng Ling Xi laugh. Looking at him like this, she inexplicably felt sorry for him.
Lu Hao's expression stiffened, seeing Feng Lingxi's smile, he panicked.
"I wasn't forcing you, I just wanted to hear your opinion. You make the call."
"Is the Lu family really that desperate for a daughter"
Feng Lingxi asked, Lu Hao was startled for a moment, then nodded.
They all like their daughters.
"You don't like it"
Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes and saw Lu Hao shaking his head hurriedly. The flustered look in his eyes made Feng Lingxi's tangled emotions gradually relax. She suddenly felt a little curious about his status in the family.
"I like uselessness, at least you have to be willing. If you don't recognize me, I have no other daughters under my knee. My husband has three sons, and for as long as he's been married, I've been scolded for that long."
"The Lu family likes their daughter not because they truly do, there must be other reasons, right"
Feng Lingxi, after finishing her question, looked at Lu Hao who was stunned. She casually said, "I just asked casually. I still say the same thing, my mother doesn't allow me to acknowledge you, and I won't acknowledge you. As for the people of the Lu family, if you recognize me, I came to Xigu country, and I will visit them when I have time. If they mind, then I can only leave."
“Alright, alright, they'd be so happy if you came. Don’t worry, they’ll never force you to do anything you don’t want to. Come back, you’ll be treated better than a princess.”
Wind Ling Xi loved to hear Lu Hao's words. Who wouldn't want to be pampered, especially like a princess
Only when mentioning the princess, Feng Lingxi thought of Princess Qingfeng. She had been abducted before, and she didn't know what happened to her later.
Five years ago, Princess Qingfeng was kidnapped. Later, she was found, and nothing happened, right
"It's nothing, just a band of bandits. Your older brother found her, and after bringing her back to the palace, the Empress Dowager kept her locked up. Now she's your second sister-in-law."
"Second Sister-in-Law"
Feng Lingxi frowned, this really came into their own home
The Empress Dowager has arranged a marriage, and besides, your second brother frequently travels around. Princess Qingfeng marrying into our Lu family means she will be traveling with your second brother as well.
Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, it was a decent place to end up, but the fact that this princess suddenly became her second sister-in-law felt strange.
"Your older brother hasn't gotten married yet. He said that he wouldn't get married until you did, and this has been going on for five years now. If you see him, please persuade him."
Feng Ling was a little surprised. In the five years she had been missing, Lu Nian had refused to marry for her This really surprised her. It seemed that next time she met Lu Nian, she had to tell him how much this meant to her. For her, he had sacrificed his marriage prospects, it was truly too precious.
"I can do that, I'm sorry."
Lu Hao shook his head. "This isn't your concern, it was his own choice, and besides, we aren't blaming you or him."
Feng Lingxi hummed softly, gazing ahead, "I'll be back in a few days. When I see him then, I'll tell him."
Lu Hao nodded, looking at Feng Ling Xi's slightly downcast eyes, and stood up. "Let's not talk about this. I'll take you around the house and to your courtyard. Madam spent a long time on it. Take a look and see if you like it. If not, it's still early. You can have people make changes."
Feng Ling Xi only then noticed the extravagance of Lu Fu's courtyard, not inferior to Chen Wang Fu in the past, even bigger. The decorations in the manor were even more luxurious, and everywhere you looked, it was paved with money.
Lu Fu is a man of great wealth and generosity, this description couldn't be more apt.
"Our Lu family has been in government and business for generations, so we may be a little better off financially than the average family."
Feng Lingxi hummed in response, her gaze sweeping over everything visible – each item built with money.
Lu Hao saw that Feng Lingxi seemed not interested at all, and his heart was quite disheartened.
Firstly, he was afraid that if he said anything about his wealth, the other party would think he was showing off. Secondly, he was afraid that the other party would think him a heartless miser who had no regard for the Lu family. If that were the case, he would have even less face to return to his parents and wife.
Lu Hao's heart was truly burdened with an unbearable weight.
"My husband, where are you going"
When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Hao and Feng Lingxi coming over, she hurriedly brought Tao Su forward. Tao Su bowed to Lu Hao respectfully and greeted him politely. He looked at Feng Lingxi with an unchanged expression, his demeanor slightly indifferent.
"Madam, you're here just in time. I wanted to take Xi'er to her courtyard and see what needs supplementing. Now that you're here, why don't you take her As a big man, I'm afraid she wouldn't be comfortable talking to me."
When Lu Hao saw his wife, he was like seeing a savior and hurriedly spoke.
Mrs. Lu smiled and took Feng Lingxi's arm, instructing Lu Hao.
"Greet Master Tao well, and also ask the steward to inform Father and Mother that Xi'er has arrived. We will have dinner together tonight. Also, please have someone bring some clothes for Xi'er; she needs to change for tonight."
"My lady, there's no need. I'm only staying here for one night, and I'll be leaving tomorrow."
Feng Lingxi was surprised by the Lu family's treatment of her. She spent the night there, but if she hadn't agreed to stay, she would have rather stayed at an inn. At least in an inn, she could sleep comfortably and freely. Here, it felt like she would be difficult to deal with.
"Alright, you're a rare sight here. How could I let you stand out in the cold"
Mrs. Lu spoke softly, taking Feng Lingxi's hand and leaving first, leaving Lu Hao secretly wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
"Mr. Tao, this way please."
"Master Lu, please be seated."
"Don't be so unfamiliar. Since you and Xi'er are friends, just call me father. I'm truly grateful that this child is back." Lu Hao's words were filled with heartache. Only he knew how difficult it had been for him.
Wind Ling Xi returned all because of this Tao Su, if not for him, I fear that even if she stayed in the Xi Gu Kingdom for five years, fifty years, she still wouldn't have set foot in the Lu Mansion. Although she had a request from him, he ultimately let her return home.like me. My father had six sons, all vying for the throne. Dugu Yan and Dugu Xiu were born to Empress Dowager Cen. No matter their ranking, as her sons, the throne rightfully belongs to them. Anyone w...
