Chapter 398: Revenge 42
e Empress looked into her son's eyes, seeing the disappointment within. She soothed him, "Only by trying will you know if you have a chance. If you don't even try, how can you talk about these things"...Feng Yu Mo gave Feng Ling Xi a shy smile, but followed behind her without getting into the carriage. Feng Ling Xi waited for a while, seeing that Feng Yu Mo hadn't gotten into the carriage, she lifted the curtain and looked at Feng Yu Mo standing in front of the carriage, saying faintly, "Come up."
"Your Highness, this is not appropriate,"
"Come up."
Feng Lingxi commanded, Feng Yu Mo hurriedly went up and sat opposite her, sitting upright, not daring to look at Feng Lingxi. His demeanor was as if she would eat him.
"Are you afraid of me"
Feng Lingxi asked, Feng Yu Mo hurriedly shook his head, hastily explaining, "The commoner is just afraid of bumping into the Fourth Princess and causing trouble for Madam Yao and his father."
"I am your fourth older sister, from now on don't call me Fourth Princess."
Wind Feather Ink looked up in surprise at Wind Ling Xi, startled by her fierce gaze.
“Listen to me, from now on you can only call me Fourth Sister, no calling me Princess.”
"The commoner remembers."
"Since you're my fourth older sister, why do you still call yourself a commoner Do you need me to teach you how siblings get along"
Feng Lingxi's face darkened, and Feng Yumo hurriedly lowered his head, whispering, "My eldest sister and third sister are both imperial concubines. I am not their biological brother, so I am naturally different from the fifth and sixth brothers."
"They are them, I am me, and not everyone can call me Fourth Sister."
Feng Ling Xi's words left Feng Yu Mo astonished. Meaning, only he could
Feng Yu Mo's heart was filled with a small thrill, but she dared not show it. The rumored Fourth Royal Princess seemed, truly, not fierce.
"Fourth Sister."
Feng Yu Mo whispered a name, Feng Ling Xi looked at his bashful smile, her face full of helplessness, what a child, she didn't expect that the General's Mansion would have a child as pitiful as her. If she had discovered him earlier, perhaps he could have suffered less.
Where's the old woman who used to take care of you
The smile on Feng Yu Mo's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness and grief. His voice choked with emotion as he said, "My wet nurse passed away a few days ago. She informed the General's Mansion before she died, which is why I was able to return."
Feng Lingxi patted his head gently and said softly, "From now on, Fourth Sister will take care of you."
Looking at Feng Yu Mo's forlorn eyes, it seems like he must have gone through a lot of hardship in the past.
"Yu Mo, has your father ever come to see you"
Wind Feather Ink shook his head. "Father doesn't like me. He abandoned me since I was young, and everyone knows that Father has seven children, but I am the only one who lives outside General's Mansion as a bastard son." Because his mother was a concubine who died early, he was grateful to be alive.
This Feng family's seventh young master lives a life no worse than that of a village child.
Only he knew how he and the wet nurse had survived all these years.
"Do you hate him"
Feng Lingxi didn't call out to her father, instead she used "him" as a substitute. Feng Aotian wasn't worthy of being her father, nor was he worthy of being Yu Mo's father.
Wind Feather Ink shook her head, "The wet nurse said, don't hate him."
Feng Ling reached out and hugged him, patting his shoulder with concern. It pained her to see him like this. He should have been living the life of a pampered young master, yet he had it worse than her. She couldn't imagine how he had endured until now.
"Fourth Sister, do you hate him"
Feng Yu Mo asked softly, imitating Feng Ling Xi's tone and asking back.
"I don't hate him because he is not worthy."
Feng Ling Xi pushed open Feng Yu Mo, looking at his handsome face, “In the future, with Fourth Sister here, Fourth Sister will be your real sister, and will take good care of you.”
"Thank you, Fourth Sister."
Feng Yu Mo couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. Everyone said the fourth sister was ruthless, dealing with her own father and sisters without mercy, but he could sense the fourth sister's dislike and coldness towards General's Mansion, just like him.
If anyone were treated this way, who would be willing to smile and sit on a cold bench
Upon returning to the palace, Feng Lingxi brought Feng Yumò with her. When Shù Taifei learned that Feng Lingxi was back, she sent someone to invite her over for a meal. Feng Lingxi directly brought Feng Yumò before Shù Taifei. Looking at the young man beside Feng Lingxi, Shù Taifei was taken aback at first, but quickly guessed what had happened.
"Mother concubine, this is my fourth aunt's seventh son, Feng Yu Mo. I brought him back to the manor and want to keep him by my side."
Feng Yu Mo saw Shu Taifei and hurriedly bowed, "Subject Feng Yu Mo greets Shu Taifei."
Shutai looked at Feng Yu Mo trembling and said, "Since he is Xi'er's younger brother, he's a member of our Royal Family. There's no need for formalities. Sit down and have a meal."
Feng Lingxi watched Feng Yu Mo sit restlessly, and comforted her, “Just treat it like your own home, there is no need to be restrained.”
Wind Feather Ink watched as Concubine Shu nodded, responding with a sound but not daring to pick up her chopsticks.
"Mother, has the Wangye returned yet"
It's past dinner time, Dugong City has been out for a whole day, and he still hasn't come back. I wonder if something happened to him
Feng Lingxi's heart was very uneasy. Today, she had wasted time at the General's Mansion.
"The city lord has gone into the palace. The emperor has summoned him for business and he will be back later."
"Wouldn't Dugu Yan make things difficult for him"
Feng Lingxi anxiously called out Dugu Yan's name, Feng Yumò looked at Feng Lingxi's eyes changed.
"That's not a worry. We have the upper hand right now. The Emperor found him because of the border war, don't you fret."
Feng Lingxi responded, but lost her appetite.
"Eat quickly, don't always think about things."
Shutai gave Feng Lingxi vegetables, urging her, "Looking at your frail body, I worry that it'll be years before you can hold a grandchild."
Feng Lingxi saw Feng Yu Mo and didn't dare to use her chopsticks. She picked vegetables for him, letting him eat more. After accompanying his mother concubine to finish the meal, she then left.
"Fourth Sister, don't you fear the Emperor's punishment for directly addressing his name"
He's not here anyway, what's there to be afraid of This is the Fourth Prince's Residence.
Feng Lingxi brought Feng Yuemo to his residence, "Yuemo, stay here first. If you need anything, just ask Xiaoli to take care of it. You don't need to save money for your elder sister. I have something to go out and will be back later."
"Big Sister Four, then I'll go with you and protect you."
Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yumo's eager pleas and smiled, "You protect me, then will you have martial arts"
"Of course I would, I've been trained in martial arts since I was a child. My wet nurse said that as the descendant of a military family, I couldn't possibly not know martial arts. In the future, I will serve the imperial court and become a great general."
Wind Ling Xi heard his words and smiled.
"I'll take you out another day. You stay here and wait for me, I'll be right back."
Feng Lingxi gave Xiao Li a wink, instructing her to take care of Feng Yumo, and then left the house.
"Little Li sister, why didn't the Fourth Sister bring me Doesn't the Fourth Sister trust that I can protect her safety"
Xiao Li, seeing Feng Yu Mo's forlorn expression, explained, "The Princess can protect herself. She kept you here hoping you would rest properly. You've just arrived at the Fourth Prince's Manor and need to get familiar with your surroundings. After that, you can follow her."
"I didn't know Fourth Sister also had martial arts skills"
Wind Feather Ink was at a loss, while Xiao Li just smiled. She had a good impression of Wind Feather Ink, the young master of the Feng family, so her tone naturally softened considerably.t will be over soon."Seeing Dugu Xiu's non-stop grabbing, Xiao Li almost laughed out loud."Then what are you still standing there for, hurry and bring water for this king to bathe.""Sixth Brother, thi...
