Chapter 130: Breaking the Bed (94)

g good to her was probably all an act.Feng Lingxi saw Feng Lingyu arriving and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why are you here""Si Mei, elder sister came to see what you are busy with. It's so late,...Xiaoli's eyes welled up with tears, "Your Highness, no matter where you go in the future, Xiaoli will follow you."

Feng Ling xi patted her head, what a silly girl.

In the front hall, Dugu City drank a cup of tea. All the servants and maidservants outside were already gathered, but he didn't look at them. He just sipped his tea. Such an action made each servant and maid waiting outside tremble with fear, not knowing what was going on.

Feng Linglong saw that Feng Lingxi hadn't arrived yet, a trace of coldness flickered in her eyes. She must have hidden herself and dared not come out.

It's been a whole incense stick's time, she should be wanting to see how long she can hide.

"Fourth King, all the servants and maids in the mansion are gathered, only missing the Fourth Princess."

Zhang looked at Du Gucheng seated above her. In the past, he always called her "Mother-in-Law," but now, he didn't even glance her way. Could it be that Xi'er was really going to be implicated this time

Zhang's unease fell into Du Gucheng's eyes, but he remained unmoved.

"Lady Wind, if I'm not mistaken, this second concubine hasn't arrived yet."

Feng Linglong heard Ye Xi's words, her face darkened, and she said coldly, "My mother..."

"Concubine Feng, even though you are a concubine now, you should understand that the Liu family is merely a mistress of the Feng household. If you truly want to call her mother, you should address her as 'little mother,' not 'mother.' Your own mother should have taught you this."

獨孤城 put down his teacup, got up and walked outside. He looked at the maidservants standing outside, his eyes swept over them, and said in a cold voice, "Say it, why did the fourth princess hurt the second miss's face Tell the truth, if you dare to spread rumors, this king will not forgive you."

Feng Linglong's face changed drastically. Was this Dugu Cheng trying to clear Feng Lingxi's name

"Fourth Master, with you saying it like that, they won't dare to speak up."

Wind Linglong walked before the servants, her phoenix eyes sweeping over them. The servants didn't dare to make a sound.

"Wind Side Concubine, you possess more presence than this King. Why don't you ask"

Dugu Cheng returned to his chair and sat down. He didn't see Liu Shi. He said in a deep voice, "Nanny Liu, please bring Liu Shi here. This King will question her personally. She, as just one concubine, dares not appear. It is truly disrespectful to this King. Please make the trip yourself and 'invite' her here."

Feng Linglong, seeing Dugu City staring at her mother, hurriedly called out, "Fourth Prince, my stepmother fainted because of the spirit jade and hasn't woken up yet."

"She's unconscious, this Liu Mamā is the most capable. Don't worry, Your Highness Fei, leave this matter to Liu Mamā, I guarantee your young mistress will be fine soon."

Nanny Liu brought two other nannies to find Madam Liu. Feng Linglong watched Nanny Liu's departing figure, feeling a growing unease.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Linglong, “Feng側妃 continue to interrogate, this king will listen.”

Feng Linglong's face was rather unsightly. This Du Gu Cheng wasn't trying to punish Feng Lingxi at all; she still hadn't arrived, and he didn't even ask a word. Instead, he wanted to apprehend her mother who had fainted.

"Master Si, Fourth Sister hasn't arrived yet. Perhaps we should wait for her. Once everyone is here, we can ask then."

Dugu City looked at Zhang Shi, "Mother, where is Xi'er"

When Zhang heard Dugu City calling her "mother-in-law," although it sounded the same, she felt nervous this time and hurriedly said, "Xi'er said she was tired and resting. When I came over, she said she would be here in a while."

"Xi'er, are you tired"

Dugu City frowned, got up, and said, "Then just wait a moment, let her rest for a while."

Everyone heard his words and was dumbfounded. They looked at Du Gu Cheng's furrowed brows, which clearly showed worry and concern.

"Ye Xi, you go over there quickly and tell Xiao Li that Xi'er should rest up before coming, don't force herself. This king will just drink a few more cups of tea and wait for her, no need to rush."

Ye Xi held back a smile and responded.

Wind Linglong couldn't bear it any longer. This Dugu City was clearly intentional. She now saw through him; he didn't want to make a decision for Lingyu at all. He had been playing with her from the very beginning.

"What does this mean, Fourth Master Are we to have so many people wait for just one person"

Dugu City heard the questioning tone in her voice, his handsome face darkened, staring at Feng Linglong's eyes made Feng Linglong feel a chill, her body involuntarily took two steps back.

"Does the Windside Concubine have an opinion"

Dugu City scanned the crowd with his eyes, "Who has an opinion"

The atmosphere in the room instantly fell silent. These four princes were clearly being unreasonable, and nobody dared to speak up. They weren't looking for a fight, so who would dare to contradict them

Feng Linglong looked at them one by one, their heads bowed low, feeling incredibly frustrated.

A bunch of good-for-nothings, they really pissed her off.

"Concubine Feng, I wonder if the Crown Prince knows that you went to your natal family to preside over justice on your wedding day"

Feng Linglong's body stiffened, looking at Dugu Cheng's smile at the corner of his lips. She forced a smile and said, "Of course, this servant has informed the Crown Prince of your arrival."

“Very well, today's events are now known throughout the capital. This princess is now a famous figure in the city, naturally, as are the Consort Feng and those present. I wonder how father-in-law will answer when questioned by the officials tomorrow when he ascends the court”

Feng Aotian's face suddenly changed. Dugu Cheng's words made him realize the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly knelt down, "Fourth Prince, it is my fault for failing to manage properly. I..."

"Father-in-law, get some rest. You have to face the court tomorrow, so it's best to get an early start."

Feng Aotian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He walked up to Zhang's face, "Madam, I leave the matter of this courtyard to you. As for me, I have important matters to attend to and must leave."

Feng Aotian tossed out a sentence and immediately packed up to leave the house.

Feng Linglong looked at her father like this, angrily clenching her fists. Looking at Du Gu Cheng's slightly raised eyebrows, she forced herself to remain calm.

Dugu City looked at the maidservant and houseboy who were bowing their heads in silence, "Now, who will tell me what happened today"

After waiting for a while, no one stood up. Dugu Cheng frowned slightly, “It seems like you’re all very busy today and haven’t seen what happened today”

Everyone stole a glance at each other, nodding slightly like chickens pecking at rice. Not a single person dared to make a sound.

Dugu Cheng nodded, "Since none of you know what happened today, then all go busy."

The servants had cleared out, leaving only Zhang's mother and daughter, along with the Feng sisters. The air was thick with tension.

"Concubine Feng, since you call upon this King to make a decision for the second Miss, then let the second Miss explain the reason behind this matter. This will allow this King to judge and make a fair decision for you."

Dugu City sat back in his chair, looking at the grapes beside him. He picked a grape and put it in his mouth.

"My lord, the princess has arrived."

Before Dugu Cheng could even taste the grapes, Ye Xi ran over and whispered in his ear. Dugu Cheng immediately stood up and walked towards Feng Lingxi who was walking over.

"Xi'er, are you rested"

Feng Lingxi looked at his attitude, her face still cold.

獨孤城 helped her to his own position, pressed her down onto the chair and hurriedly peeled a grape, offering it to her mouth with a fawning smile. "Xi'er, this grape is very sweet, have a taste."beyond the bounds"Chu Xi promptly retreated at the sound, Xiao Li looked at the princess with confusion, "Princess, is the owner of Tianxiang Building not very nice to you Someone is protecting her,...
