Chapter 1439: Smoke of War Rises 260

ister refused, so he left."Did he say he wanted to see me"Looking at Feng Yu Mo's hopeful eyes, Feng Ling Xi suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She really wanted to lie to him, but she couldn't bring...Lu Hao was surprised when Feng Ling Xi thanked him, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to thank me. In fact, these years there were still people who hadn't given up looking for you, like Dugu City, he..."

"Let's not mention him, okay"

Feng Lingxi interrupted Lu Hao. Although she didn't know Lu Hao's intentions, she really didn't want to hear the name Dugu City at this time. For the past five years, she had tried her best to forget Dugu City and didn't want to be hurt by him again.

"Xier, you misunderstand him. What he did was planned with your older brother. He just wanted to protect you from the court's involvement and prevent you from being targeted..."

"Okay."

Lu Hao eagerly explained, making Feng Ling Xi angry. Her face turned cold as well.

If you're only here to talk about Dugu City, then there's nothing left for us to say. But if you want to talk about something else, I'm happy to listen.

Feng Lingxi stood up, her face cold and emotionless.

"Alright, alright, I won't mention him. I won't."

Lu Hao hurriedly soothed Feng Lingxi, fearing that if he got angry, he would leave. It seemed like the matter of Dugu City could only be discussed later.

"Let's talk about Tao Su. He just told me, but this matter still needs to be reported to the court. To find out the truth, it will take some time."

Lu Hao hurriedly changed the subject, watching Feng Lingxi's anger. He was truly scared. If he angered Xi'er, he wouldn't be able to explain to his wife. And then there were his parents...he was really terrified.

"Thank you, I'll leave Tao Su to you."

Windling looked at Lu Hao. After all, she had a request for him, so she should thank him.

Lu Hao looked at Feng Ling Xi, there were many things he wanted to say, but they couldn't get out of his mouth.

"By the way, Nian'er sent me a message saying that he returned with Wan'er. They'll be here in about ten days. Where are you staying now Would you like to stay at the mansion and wait for Nian'er and Wan'er to return Wan'er came this time because of you."

"What did you say Is Wan'er following Lu Nian here"

Feng Lingxi's face was full of disbelief. Seeing Lu Hao nod, she hurriedly took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Feng Lingxi. "Read this for yourself, it’s Nian'er's handwriting. He wrote me a letter saying that Wan'er is coming to find you, and they have already set off."

Feng Lingxi looked at the contents of the letter, her eyes moistened.

Wan'er really came to find her with Lu Nian, her Wan'er has grown up, she really came.

Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi's tears and comforted, "Wan'er has been very outstanding these years, both civil and military. The dark guards arranged by Luoli for her protect her very well. You can rest assured."

Feng Lingxi nodded, tears welling in her eyes. She had been worried that Wan'er wouldn't forgive her, but now that she knew Wan'er had come to find her, Feng Lingxi's heart was filled with excitement.

"Xier, you can stay in the mansion. Your mistress has prepared a courtyard for you. You can stay as long as you like, and we won't ask you to do anything."

Lu Hao whispered, watching Feng Lingxi's excited expression. He was really afraid she would get angry and misunderstand that he was forcing her to stay.

"I'll be back in a few days, I have to go back tomorrow morning, I still have important things to do, thank you for telling me about Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi adjusted her own emotions, "Waner has arrived, please take good care of her, I will come to find her." After speaking, she took out the jade pendant that she had given Lu Hao before and returned it to him. "This is your waist badge, you take it back."

"Take this, in Xi Gu Guo, if you ever need help, carry this waist token, no one will dare to harm you."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I don't have any enemies here, no one would hurt me, and I can protect myself well. I don't need this, you take it back." Feng Lingxi returned the waist card to Lu Hao, "No matter what, thank you."

They were willing to help Tao Su, and she was very grateful. At least this trip wasn't a waste of time for her.

"Don't be so polite, this is what I owe you."

Lu Hao's words, "This one owes you," caused Feng Ling Xi's heart to tremble slightly. She felt a sense of release.

You don't have to think that way, we don't owe each other anything.

She had spent so long here that she was almost forgetting that she wasn't the original Feng Lingxi. Although Lu Hao was the father of this body, he wasn't her father. He didn't owe her anything, and she had to recognize that fact.

"Is there any news from my mother"

Feng Lingxi took the initiative to mention her mother to Lu Hao. Lu Hao was taken aback and overwhelmed with excitement.

"No, but I've been looking for her all the time. Your mother is really good at hiding."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "It seems that Mother hasn't finished her business yet."

Lu Hao heard Feng Lingxi mention this matter, and thinking about how he had been unable to find Yao Wan Ying for the past few years, now that she was mentioned, he wanted to gradually ease the relationship between them.

"Xi'er, your mother hasn't given any news at all. Have you thought about when to go look for her"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao, her eyes devoid of any ripples.

"So many people have been looking for her today and couldn't find her, how could I possibly find her"

“Just because others can’t find her, doesn’t mean you can’t. You are her daughter, after all. These years, she must have been looking for you too.” Lu Hao finished speaking and immediately regretted it. He met Feng Lingxi's questioning gaze and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just worry about her safety. These years, I haven’t given up on finding her either, just that there has been no news, so I wanted to ask you.”

"I haven't been in contact with the outside world for several years, so I don't know her current situation."

Feng Lingxi lowered her voice, "Since you couldn't even find out about her whereabouts, I wouldn't even bother. No news is good news, at least she's still alive."

"You..."

Lu Hao took a deep breath. If Yao Wan Ying knew that Xi'er had come to him, he didn't know what she would think.

"I still hope you'll take Taosu's matter seriously. He represents many people, and this time I'm asking you for your help."

Wind Lingxi clenched her fists, "I owe you a favor."

"I will do my best. You owe me nothing, only I owe you." Lu Hao's words turned several circles in his throat. He knew Feng Lingxi came to him because of Tao Su. No matter how this matter went, he would handle it properly and couldn't let her feel that he was useless.

You don't owe me.

Feng Lingxi corrected, "I heard from my wife that your parents want to see me. I will have dinner with them tonight, but I will not acknowledge my ancestral family." Her mother's words were etched in her heart, and this was all she could do.

"I'll tell them, just treat it as joining their elders for a meal. They also miss you, the Lu family has no daughters, you are the only daughter of the Lu family."

Feng Lingxi remained silent. The Lu family had no daughters, while she had two: Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu. She didn't intend to tell him their identities, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.

Lu Hao saw that she didn't speak, and fearing she was unhappy about the meal, he changed the subject.

"What are your plans for the future Will you continue to stay in Xigu Country If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do everything I can to assist you."yes and replied, "This subordinate will see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess off.""Farewell, King Chen, and Queen Chen."The carriage left slowly, and 300,000 troops departed from Tulumu Town.
