Chapter 1434: War Smoke Rises 255

ed him to sit down. Dugu Yan reached out his hand, wanting to grab Feng Lingxi's hand, but Feng Lingxi dodged it. She really disliked his enthusiasm. Didn't he see that she was different from the pre..."Madam, I've been searching day and night, but I can't find this person. I'm so worried." Lu Hao looked exhausted. In these past five years, he had never slept well. Madam's love for Feng Lingxi surpassed his own as her father. He, the biological father, wasn't even as important as this stepmother.

Mrs. Lu slumped down in her chair, clutching her chest and taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"You said that girl went missing five years ago, now she's back and you can't find her. How did she manage to disappear like that"

"If there's a mother, there must be a daughter. Wasn't her mother quite good at hiding too" They've been searching for this Yao clan for so many years now, hasn't Yao Wan Ying fallen into their hands yet

With a slap, Lu Hao was hit on the forehead by Madam Lu. Madam Lu glared at Lu Hao displeasuredly, "How could you say such things about Xi'er If it weren't for her suffering and having no family to support her, she wouldn't have been able to hide."

Lu Hao was beaten by his wife and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. My dear wife, please calm your anger. I'll go find it right away."

"Master, madam, someone at the door has a letter to deliver to you."

The steward brought in a letter. Mrs. Lu stepped forward, took the letter and opened it. Looking at the words on it, she was so excited that she almost cried.

Where is the sender

"Right at the door."

Mrs. Lu hurried toward the door, and Lu Hao followed. As they emerged, Chang Ming saw the elegant and noble lady before him and felt a little flustered.

"Are you the one who delivered the letter"

Changming nodded, and Lu's wife hurriedly asked, "Where is the person who delivered your letter"

Chang Ming looked at the noblewoman before him and asked, "Madam, are you Mrs. Lu"

"Yes, I am Mrs. Lu, he is Lu Hao, the head of the Lu family."

Chang Ming hastily bowed, saying, “The messenger said for me to personally deliver this letter to you.”

"Well, why don't you tell us, where is she"

The letter arrived. If you wish to see her, she will send two people to find you.

Chang Ming's words moved Lu Fu-ren to tears. She held onto Lu Hao's hand and said, "Did you hear that Xi-er is coming to find me. She finally came to find me."

Lu Hao hurriedly soothed his wife, thinking to himself, how could he explain that Feng Lingxi was also his daughter Why would they look for her when they could just look for him.

"Is she okay"

Mrs. Lu hurried to ask Changming, and seeing him nod, she quickly told the steward, "Hurry and get some silver for him, and have him relay the message that we are waiting for her at home."

"Thank you, madam. I'm here to deliver a message, and the message has been delivered. I shall take my leave now. Madam said she would come, and she will indeed come. Please rest assured, Madam Lu and Master Lu."

Chang Ming bowed to them, his heart pounding nervously. These were relatives of the royal family of Xi Gu Guo, the head and wife of the Lu family! To see them, and for them to speak to him so kindly, was more than he could have ever hoped for in his life.

"Hold on."

Lu Hao called out to Chang Ming, "Give her this and tell her that as long as she returns, I will satisfy any of her conditions."

Chang Ming looked at the jade pendant Lu Hao handed over. It was the master's jade pendant, and he just gave it to him like that. Chang Ming took it and nodded.

"I'll go back first."

Chang Ming bid farewell to the Lu Hao couple, put away the jade pendant, and left.

"Get people to protect his safety quickly, do not track him, just withdraw once he returns safely."

Lu Hao ordered, Madam Lu agreed, and immediately instructed the steward, "Quickly prepare the carriage, I'm going to the palace. This time Xi’er is returning home, such a major event, we must inform my aunt."

Chang Ming returned to the village, and everyone gathered around him. They stared at Chang Ming's silly grin, all of them too excited to contain themselves.

Changming, what's going on Do the Lu family people know Xiaofeng

Of course, you all don't know how excited the head of the Lu family and Mrs. Lu were when they saw the letter, wishing to come see Xiaofeng immediately. Changming was surrounded by so many people for the first time. This trip down the mountain, he truly experienced what it felt like to be sought after by a wealthy family.

"Changming."

Tao Su shouted, and everyone gathered around Chang Ming to Tao Su, watching Feng Ling Xi. Chang Ming hurriedly stepped forward and handed the jade pendant Lu Hao had given him to her, "Madam Xiao Feng, this is what Lord Lu asked me to give you."

Feng Lingxi took it, she recognized this object. It was the jade pendant worn by the Lu family. Originally, it was Lu Nian who had given her this pendant, a priceless jade pendant.

"Xiao Feng, are you close to the head of Lu's family"

Tao Su asked, "This jade pendant is quite valuable. It was given to Xiaofeng by the Lu family head, their relationship must be deep."

Feng Lingxi put away the jade pendant, “The most familiar stranger.”

Seeing Fēng Líng Xī's gloomy expression, Yuán Xiù quickly changed the subject. "Did they say anything else"

"I told them as Xiaofeng said, that Xiaofeng would look for them in two days. Let them wait. They agreed."

Chang Ming looked at Feng Lingxi, who seemed displeased. He was a little uneasy, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"You've worked hard, why don't you rest first We'll go down the mountain tomorrow."

Tao Su nodded and instructed the villagers, “Everyone go prepare some food first. Xiaofeng promised us that he would definitely help us seek justice.”

The villagers had all dispersed. Feng Lingxi walked out, and Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi were playing with the children from the village, completely drenched in sweat. For them, this was their first time playing with children; before that, they were always on the mountain with her and her master.

"Si Yu Si Qi."

Feng Lingxi shouted, and the siblings rushed over, wiping the sweat from their faces, their flushed cheeks full of smiles.

"Mother."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and spoke.

"Tomorrow, Mother will go down the mountain for a while. Will you and Grandfather wait here for Mother to return"

"Why didn't Mother bring us along"

Feng Siyu panicked and hurriedly grabbed his mother's hand, "Does Mother not want us anymore"

"No, Mother is going to see an old friend and doesn't want you to expose your identities. Wait here for Mother to return."

Feng Siqi tilted her little head, looking puzzled.

"Didn't Mother say that even an ugly daughter-in-law should meet her in-laws We are so pretty, why don't we introduce ourselves to Mother's friends Are they our enemies"

"No."

"Then why don't we let them see us"

Feng Ling's eyes struggled, if the Lu family knew she had these two children, they would definitely try to keep her. She didn't want to stay in Xigu Kingdom, nor did she want to stay with the Lu family.

"Be obedient."

Feng Ling's voice carried a hint of displeasure. Feng Siqi tugged on her brother's sleeve, wanting him to speak up.

"Siyu, you are the older brother. You take your younger sister and play here with Grandpa. Mom will be back soon, it won't take long."

"Three days enough" Feng Siyu looked at his mother, the child's demeanor resembled that of a small man.

Feng Lingxi nodded, “Enough, Changming going back and forth will only take two days, Mother can also.”

"Mother must return within three days. I will be waiting here with my younger sister and grandfather for her return. Don't get hurt, don't run around everywhere, and most importantly, don't abandon us."

"Mother will not abandon you."

Feng Ling Xi hugged her siblings close, her eyes slightly red. actually want to trick me I'm not that stupid."Dugu Cheng thought about it seriously, “Tomorrow, I’ll have Ye Xi prepare a very special dish for you, one that you’ve probably never tasted before.”"Im...
