Chapter 1321: Smoke and Fire Rises

ods"Feng Lingxi saw him angry and calmly said, "I didn't mean it that way, Your Highness. This gift is too valuable for me to accept."Taking back the acupuncture needle, Dugu City shoved the box into..."Who can pull it"

Lu Hao glared at Feng Aotien, "You really have the face to say that to me Don't you even think about what happened back then..."

"Two seniors, you should stop arguing. Xi'er is still waiting for us to have a meal."

Dugu Cheng was really getting a headache from their arguing. Why didn't Lu shi stay If she were here, Feng Aotiān wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful, and Lu Hao wouldn't dare to talk so incessantly. They were really giving him a headache.

Now he could only rely on Xi'er to persuade them, hoping they would listen.

"Alright, let's go eat. I won't stoop to his level."

Lu Hao's words made Feng Aotian very dissatisfied, "I don't want to have the same knowledge as you."

Lu Hao let out a cold snort and walked outside. Feng Aotien, unwilling to be outdone, followed suit. The two of them began arguing again. Dugu Cheng watched their backs with a headache. When would these two ever stop

Feng Lingxi had just arrived at the dining hall when she heard Feng Aotiān and Lü Hào arguing. Her head buzzed, it was truly a moment that couldn't stop. These two had been arguing from the moment they met, repeating these meaningless polite rebuttals.

"Are you guys still hungry"

Feng Lingxi's voice rang out, and the two people who were arguing in the dining hall instantly fell silent. They looked at Feng Lingxi's angry face and quickly shut their mouths.

"From the moment we first met to now, have your fights been meaningful Do I have anything to do with you two I've said what I had to say, consider this a plea from me, please stop tying me and my mother to you. This only makes me feel more and more resentful towards you."

Wind Ling's words came out, and Lu Hao panicked, hurriedly saying, "Xi'er, it's not like that, I and he are actually just..."

"That's all your business, none of mine. I understand why you came to me, but I don't understand where you get the courage to blame him for treating me badly. And I can't understand where Feng Aotian gets the courage to blame him for abandoning his wife and children. You're all the same."

"I..."

Feng Aotiān swallowed nervously. Had he really made a mistake

He has no right to say anything about Lu Hao. He owes apologies to Wan Ying and Feng Lingxi, but if it weren't for Lu Hao, he wouldn't have gotten into this situation with Wan Ying. How can he not say a few words to him

Lu Hao was also intimidated by Feng Lingxi's words and dared not speak.

"Well said."

Mrs. Lu led Wan'er in, her eyes sweeping over Lu Hao.

"You've learned some tricks, haven't you Making a scene in someone else's home after mistreating her. Don't tell me you don't want to acknowledge this daughter anymore! If I were Xi'er, I wouldn't recognize you as my father either. Look at what you've done today!"

Mrs. Lu reprimanded him fiercely, looking at Lu Hao as if he were her own child. She was so angry she didn't know where to start.

Lu Hao was scolded and lowered his head in guilt.

"I'm sorry, I just offended you with my words."

Lu Hao apologized, still to Feng Aotian. This attitude made Feng Aotian a little unacceptable for a while. After all, Lu Hao was a relative of the royal family of Xigu Kingdom. He actually apologized because of this Lu's wife's words. It seemed that Lu Hao was also afraid of his wife.

“I was also wrong, just as Xi'er said, what right do I have to criticize you Never mind, let's eat.”

Feng Aotiān's arrogant attitude immediately softened. He couldn't offend Madam Lu, and even this Feng Língxī, he had finally managed to improve his relationship with her, not wanting things to get too tense.

"Let's all sit down and have dinner."

Dugu Cheng watched as Madam Lu spoke, hurriedly inviting her to take a seat. Although Madam Lu hadn't been forceful in her speech before, this time, he truly saw it: Lu Hao's absence these past years must have been due to hardship.

Let's have dinner here and then go back. It's not good to keep the child here for too long.

Mrs. Lu spoke, looking at Lu Hao who was silent, "It's been a long time since you came out this time, it's time to go back."

These words were addressed to Feng Aotian. She knew that Feng Aotian wanted to know their whereabouts. After all, they weren't people from the Great Yuan Dynasty, and given their special status, the situation for Duo Gu Cheng and his wife was rather awkward. It was better to be clear about things and avoid causing trouble for their child.

Lu Hao nodded, “All as my wife says.”

The arrogance from before was gone, replaced with a meekness like that of a puppy. Feng Aotien found it a little strange.

Feng Aotien looked at Lu Hao, his eyes filled with some sympathy.

Mrs. Lu looked at Feng Lingxi without speaking, "This time we leave, the next time we meet, who knows when it will be. You guys have to take good care of yourselves and don't worry us."

"Thank you for your concern."

Feng Lingxi bowed politely, her demeanor unchanged. Feng Aotian saw that she hadn't changed because of his different treatment towards Lu Fu and Lu Hao, and a strange sense of comfort filled his heart.

"Also, if you see your mother, tell her this: if she ever finds herself without a place to go, she can come to me. The Lu family will always welcome her; I'll treat her like my own sister."

"Thank you, Madam Lu, for your kindness. I have my mother to take care of."

When mentioning her mother, Feng Lingxi rejected Lu's wife's kindness. She knew that her mother would never agree to go to the Lu family. No matter how good the Lu family was, her mother would not accept it.

Lu Hao heard this, raised his eyes to look at Feng Lingxi, the words that reached his lips were swallowed back, he lowered his head to eat, but it was tasteless.

"We appreciate Mrs. Lu's kindness. My general's mansion, Wan Ying, can come back anytime she wants. Wan Ying and I haven't separated, she is still my Feng Aotian's legal wife."

Although Feng Aotian's words were meant to protect his mother, Feng Lingxi found them extremely grating to her ears.

Is the current wife still Zhao

The mistress of this nation holds her position firmly. To speak such words, he doesn't feel ashamed; she finds it nauseating instead.

“Before I came, I had inquired. The current wife of General Zhen Guo is Zhao shi, not Xi'er's biological mother. Although General Zhen Guo hasn’t separated from her, Xi'er’s mother has long since left General Zhen Guo's mansion with a heart as dead as water. General Zhen Guo needn't worry. I may not be a magnanimous woman, but I understand women. Since she has left, she will not return.”

Mrs. Lu fired back, ignoring Feng Aotian's stiff face, and spoke with clarity.

Feng Lingxi admires this Lu Madam from the bottom of her heart. She is wealthy and speaks with such conviction.

"Lady Lu, though Xi'er's mother left the General's Mansion in the past, my feelings for her remain unchanged. If she wishes to return, I welcome her at any time."

"There's no need for that, Mother doesn't have nowhere to go. She wouldn't go to your place anyway. Even if she didn't stay in my Chen Wangfu, the Yao Clan has her own palace and she wouldn't need to serve you."

She would not even consider serving those men, despite the fact that her mother had allowed them to reside in the grand Yao Clan temple.

Feng Lingxi knew her words were direct and might sound unpleasant, but she sincerely didn't want her mother to be involved with them, including Feng Aotien. She hadn't forgotten how Feng Aotien had treated her mother back then.

"If your mother is happy, then I won't force you."

Feng Aotiandao laughed arrogantly, looking at Feng Lingxi's stubborn attitude and dared not argue further.ing the palace will surely infuriate the Empress Dowager."Wasn't she always hoping for Princess Yaohua to marry me Wouldn't it be pleasing to her if she knew about me and Princess Yaohua now"Ye Xi's s...
