Chapter 1530: L琉璃 Purple Star (69)
r, put on your night attire."As they had agreed, Huangpu Qingyun gave Feng Lingxi a set of night-walking clothes and planned to change into it before going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Just then, h..."Father, let her go back with us. Nianli staying here wouldn't have anyone to look after her."
Feng Yixuan spoke, seeing Feng Aotian's shocked eyes, and smiled, "Rest assured, I'm not as heartless as you think."
Feng Aotian nodded silently, tears streaming down his face. He had also considered letting Yu Xi go back then, but Feng Yixuan stopped him. Ever since Feng Yixuan returned, he had been kind to him, but he couldn't hate Yu Xi.
Yi Xuan, thank you.
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yixuan's smile and said, "How come you hate Feng Yu Xi so much You've made your father worry like this"
Feng Yixuan smiled, but did not answer.
He wouldn't tell Feng Lingxi that his years of indulgence towards Feng Yuxi were all because of her. In his heart, Feng Yuxi wasn't worthy of being his sister, even with the bond of blood. Feng Yuxi's actions simply didn't deserve it. Therefore, after returning to the General's Mansion, he refused to let Feng Yuxi stay, even when Zhao shi pleaded bitterly, he remained unyielding.
Now, Feng Ling Xi has returned. Her words opened his eyes. She could let go of her resentment and not hate Du Gu Cheng, and he didn't need to either. There was no need for him to hold a grudge against a dying man for the rest of his life. She weathered storms and still wasn't worthy of it.
"I'll go in and talk to her, otherwise she definitely won't come back with us."
Feng Yixuan and Feng Lingxi greeted each other, then Feng Yixuan went in. Feng Lingxi didn't follow him, but waited outside. She heard the conversation between Feng Yixuan and Feng Yu Xi inside, but couldn't make out what they were saying. They had an argument, and after about a incense stick of time, Feng Yixuan came out, followed by Feng Yu Xi, who looked very disheveled.
"Let's freshen up before heading back."
Feng Lingxi glanced at the kitchen, fetched a basin of water for Feng Yuxi, and helped her wash up. Though she was weak and pale, she now looked presentable. After all, she was from General's Mansion. If she didn't take care of herself, it would reflect poorly on them all.
Thank you.
Feng Yu Xi looked at Feng Ling Xi, and then at her reflection in the mirror. She hadn't seen herself so clear and composed in a long time, like a whole person.
"You're welcome, I helped you for a reason."
Feng Yu Xi remained silent, holding the child in her arms as she sat in the carriage. Feng Ling Xi sat opposite her, looking at the child curled up in her mother's embrace. The child's features resembled Feng Yu Xi's, but her eyes were like Luo Li's - a pair of peach blossom eyes that, when they grew older, would undoubtedly make her a stunning beauty.
"How much longer until her next relapse"
When the wind and rain battered the evening, Feng Yu Xi shook his head. “There’s no set time for the poison to take effect, so I can only stay by her side at all times.”
"Then you should go back to the General's Mansion and let her receive better care. Only then can you recover." Feng Lingxi glanced at Feng Yixuan beside her. After his argument with Feng Yu Xi, his face turned grim, and he didn't utter a word. She guessed that Feng Yixuan didn't want to go back, which had something to do with Feng Yu Xi's unwillingness.
"Hmm."
Feng Yu Xi hugged the child tightly in the stormy evening, keeping silent all the way. However, she kept glancing at Feng Ling Xi from time to time. She remained silent throughout the journey until they reached the General's Mansion gate and were about to get off the carriage. Suddenly, Feng Yu Xi spoke, "Come to the General's Mansion tomorrow, I'll tell you."
Feng Lingxi was slightly startled, and nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
As the wind and rain swept in, Feng Yi Xuan saw off Feng Ling Xi as she returned to Lu Mansion.
"Her attitude today was a bit of a surprise to me."
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yixuan, "Is your father especially good to her"
“Now he treats everyone equally, maybe influenced by you. It’s not that he particularly favors Feng Yuxi, perhaps it's because she is his daughter after all and he wants her to have a better life. However, now about all the big and small matters in the household, father consults with me. If I disagree, Feng Yuxi has no way into General’s Mansion.”
"Is it because of me that you wouldn't let her go back"
Feng Yixuan nodded slightly. Don't say he wasn't upset about Feng Yu Xi, Xiaomi felt the same way. Today, when he saw that child, he felt pity for her. Coupled with Feng Lingxi's words, he let her go back, so that Feng Lingxi wouldn't have to run there again next time, and it would be safer.
"Yi Xuan, in the future, live your life your own way. Don't always worry about me. You don't need to concern yourself with the grievances between me and her. Although you are Feng Jia's eldest son, Zhao Shi still has another son, Feng Yi Hao."
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Feng Yihao hasn't been back to the General's Mansion for many years. No one knows where he went, not even Zhao shi has ever mentioned his whereabouts. It's just like how you disappeared."
"How could she be gone The Zhao family wouldn't not know where their child went, would they"
"Of course she knows, it's just that she doesn't want to say anything. Didn't you tell me before that you thought I might have a connection with the Yao clan"
Feng Lingxi now understood, this Zhao shi was a member of the Yao clan. Feng Yuxi acted for the Yao clan, and Feng Yihao was probably similar. But why hadn't he appeared for so many years
After I left, have you seen Luoli
Feng YiXuan shook his head, "Luoli's whereabouts have always been mysterious. I think besides Dugu City and your elder brother, few people know where he is. By the way, Feng Yu Xi should know. She was driven away by Luoli. He didn't kill her or her child in her belly. It seems that Luoli didn't intend to kill them all."
“That child, he still looks quite a lot like Luo Li.”
How could Feng Yu Xi fall in love with Luo Li, knowing full well what he was like But perhaps that's precisely why Feng Ling Xi finally understood. When Luo Li claimed Feng Yu Xi was his warm bed maid, it turned out to be true after all.
"What kind of person is like that, what kind of person is like Luo Li, how could he possibly want someone like Yu Xi"
"Women are ultimately too soft-hearted," just like Luo Qin'yi. They said she died violently, but how exactly she died, perhaps only she knows.
When the carriage arrived at Lu Mansion, Feng Lingxi got down and saw that Emperor Fuqingyun's carriage was still at the gate of Lu Mansion. She frowned, glanced at the surrounding onlookers, and they whispered among themselves when they saw her, pointing at her.
"What are you looking at Scatter!"
Feng Yixuan shouted loudly, the commoners took a few steps back and stood farther away, continuing to discuss.
Feng Lingxi walked towards them. The commoners, seeing Feng Lingxi, hurriedly turned and dispersed. However, they didn't go far, hiding in the distance and watching her, their eyes still fixed on her with a variety of expressions.
"Xi'er, don't worry about them. Commoners don't understand anything; they just follow the wind."
Feng Yixuan counseled, "Looking at the reactions of these people, he felt uneasy in his heart. What's wrong with the Lu family They can't see that they are surrounded by onlookers! And this Huangpu Qingyun is really something, actually stopping the carriage here. Isn't this making Sister Xi'er gossip"
"If you have any questions, just ask. Why gossip behind my back" Feng Lingxi looked at them. "Don't you want answers from me directly"ghtly, she pondered for a moment before speaking."How about this Since they are Shadow Guards, let's give them the surname Shadow, starting from number six, Shadow Six, Shadow Seven, and so on in orde...
