al of Linxi County. Upon learning of the Queen's return, Sun and General Zhang, who was guarding the valley entrance, led their troops to greet her. “The humble general welcomes the Queen’s return.”Fe...After Liu dismissed Feng Linglong, she hurriedly said to Feng Lingxi, "Lingxi, don't take what your elder sister just said to heart. It was all nonsense."

Feng Lingxi walked to the table and sat down, asking faintly, “I wonder which words Second Madam is referring to”

Liu shi heard her question like this, and a secret delight arose in her heart. Could it be that she hadn't understood what Linglong had said

Thinking about this, Liu said with a smile, "No, no, your elder sister is just talkative and eccentric. She doesn't act like a proper person at all. I'll have a good scolding for her when we get back."

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over the boxes behind her, "Second aunt, it seems you dropped an Avalokitesvara to the ground just now Could I take a look"

Liu hurriedly pushed the box aside and smiled stiffly, "Xier, didn't you say you were looking for your purple jade Guanyin I'll ask Second Aunt to find it for you later."

Seeing her suspicion, Liu shi only wanted to get rid of her quickly and was also afraid that she would hold a grudge over what Linglong had just said.

"Well then."

Feng Lingxi stood up, "With Second Aunt's words, then I will wait for Ziyu Guanyin to return. I have something to do, so I won't disturb you."

When Liu saw Feng Lingxi leaving, she let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the box beside her, she hurriedly grabbed it and went out.

"Miss, when the young lady said you were marrying a dead man just now, why weren't you angry"

Xiaoli felt a pang of sympathy for Xiao Jie. Thinking that the young lady was going to be married off to the Fourth Prince's Mansion only to end up as a widow, she couldn't help but want to cry.

Feng Ling's lips curled into a slight smirk, her eyes gleaming with a hint of coldness.

"Why should I be angry She spoke the truth, besides, this position of Fourth Princess Consort is mine for the taking."

"That second aunt's broken one was clearly the Purple Jade Guanyin. Why didn't the second young mistress just say so"

Feng Lingxi said faintly, "In two days, my father will be back. When he returns, will Liu shi and Feng Linglong let go of my dowry With Liu shi's methods, persuading my father to transfer my dowry to her would be a simple matter."

"What should we do about Miss Should we really let them take all of her dowry"

Xiaoli twirled anxiously, her eyes welling up again.

Feng Lingxi looked at her anxious appearance and said calmly, "If she wants my dowry, she has to see if she deserves it."

Her things, the kind that are as fierce as the wind, aren't something they can just take.

Just as Feng Ling Xi said, the matter of Zi Yu Guanyin was indeed postponed until two days later. Feng Zhan Ao returned to the General's Mansion, windswept and dust-covered.

Feng Zhǎn'ào asked Feng Língxī to go see her directly, and upon learning that she had fully recovered, Feng Zhǎn'ào felt a complicated mix of emotions.

Feng Lingxi arrived at the front hall and saw her father, still in his armor. Although he was middle-aged, he was still dashing and imposing. However, his stern expression made Feng Lingxi frown.

Liu stood beside Feng Aotian. Seeing her, she smiled and stepped forward, “Xi’er, your father rushed to see you as soon as he returned home. He heard that you were better, and your father was so happy.”

Feng Lingxi wore a mild expression, looking at Feng Aotiān, “Father’s return must be for my wedding with the Fourth Prince, right”

"Xier, are you blaming your father for agreeing to the betrothal Your father didn't know your health had recovered when he agreed."

"So, Father knows now. But does he plan to tell the Emperor and take back his decree"

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept over this father, seeing that there was no remorse in his expression. Her heart already understood.

“My lord, to disobey the emperor’s decree of marriage is a crime punishable by execution of nine clans. At least, if Xier marries him, she will be a princess, wouldn't that be better” Liu whispered in Feng Aotiān's ear. Feng Aotiān raised his head and looked at his fourth daughter with surprise.

The Emperor's wrath descended, a crime punishable by death.

Feng Aotien listened to Liu's words and said to Feng Lingxi, "Xier, your second aunt is right. No matter how you say it, you are also the Fourth Princess when you marry there. Marrying the Fourth Prince won't wrong you."

"Father, when will Second Aunt become my stepmother Father, please don't let it slip. An aunt is an aunt, and a stepmother is different. My mother is Zhang."

"Xi'er!"

Feng Aotien, seeing her accusing him like this, angrily shouted. Liu Shi hurriedly patted his back, calming him down, and said, "My lord, don't worry. Even if Xi’er calls me anything when she's better, it doesn't matter. Don't get angry about this."

"Madam, you…"

Feng Lingxi heard him call Mrs. Liu, and coldly interrupted, reminding him, "Father, your wife is my biological mother Zhang Shi, not her. She is just a concubine."

"Outrageous! Where did you learn your manners How do you speak to elders"

Feng Lingxi絲毫不懼，看了劉氏一眼，“Father, please don't forget, I am now acting according to the rules. Liu shi is merely your concubine, how can she become a wife Father, by doing this, you are putting my mother in what position”

"You..."

Wind Ao, with a look of anger in his eyes, pointed at her and slammed his hand on the table. The sound echoed through the room, silencing everyone present.

Feng Lingxi, with a fearless expression, reminded him, "Father, without rules, there is no order. Calling my concubine 'Madam' is like wishing for Mother to die."

Liu held onto Feng Aotian, her eyes brimming with tears. "Master," she choked out, "please just call me by my given name. The title of 'Madam' is too heavy a burden for me to bear."

Feng Aotian saw her wiping tears, becoming even angrier, glaring at Feng Lingxi, "You're about to get married, yet you act more and more unruly. I sentence you to confinement until your wedding day, and also, hand over the dowry."

Feng Lingxi heard him mention the dowry, a smile appeared on her lips, but it was a cold one that sent shivers down your spine. Her eyes were fixed on Liu Shi, making her feel like she couldn't hide anything.

"It seems that no matter if I remain foolish or regain my senses, in father's eyes, I will always be unfavored. He even wants to take away my dowry, forcing me to marry a deceased man." Feng Lingxi's voice grew colder, her gaze towards them turning increasingly icy.

"May I ask Father, do you consider me your daughter Do you consider me the legitimate daughter of Fengfu Do you consider my mother your original wife"

Feng Aotian was speechless from her series of questions. Looking at the fierce eyes of his fourth daughter, he felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity, even a hint of fear.

Feng Lingxi saw him speechless, and opened her mouth again, "If none of this is true, what qualifications do you have to be my father Why should I listen to your arrangements Isn't it disobedience that leads to the extermination of the nine clans With you guys burying me, what do I fear"en, a kiss landed on her forehead. Feng Lingxi didn't even bother to lift an eyelid. A parting is better than a new marriage – that saying was spot on. It seemed she really needed to be more careful n...
