Chapter 785: Imprisonment 45
t status, you wouldn't come back to visit... ""The reason why I don't go back home now is because the Fourth Master's life and death are unknown. Father thinks that if I go back, wouldn't it make Fat...Feng Lingxi finished speaking, her beautiful eyes twinkled and then suddenly turned cold, which made Luo Juzhou so angry that she stomped her feet.
"Feng Lingxi, if I insist on entering this Fourth Prince's Mansion, what can you do about it"
Feng Lingxi pinched her chin and looked at Luo Juzhou carefully, answering seriously, "I can't stand you how to be, but I kindly remind Princess Luo, a person's life, if married unhappily, this long life can be worse than death. How to choose this future, we still have to use this." Feng Lingxi pointed at her forehead, "Don't rely on your status and age to make rash judgments."
"You say that this county princess has no brains, do you know..."
"Knowing that you lack intelligence is good enough, so as not to cry for help when you enter the palace. "Feng Lingxi's tone had noticeably turned cold, and the coldness in her beautiful eyes was no longer concealed. She looked at Luo Juzhou with a cold and sharp gaze, reprimanding him like she would a wrongdoer, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Luo Ju Zhou had never been insulted like this before, from childhood to adulthood. Her eyes quickly welled up with tears, the pearly light swirling in her eye sockets, as if she were about to cry out at any moment.
The Empress Dowager saw the situation and advised, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Xi'er, quickly finish your soup before it gets cold."
Shu Taifei poured a bowl of soup for Feng Lingxi, placing it in the center. The hot chicken soup was steaming, and Feng Lingxi was about to reach out to take it when Luo Juzhou raised her hand angrily and pushed the bowl away. The hot soup splashed onto Feng Lingxi. Shu Taifei was taken aback by Luo Juzhou's actions and hurried forward, pulling Feng Lingxi back and nervously asking, "Xier, are you burned"
Feng Lingxi shook her head, glanced down at the clothes on her chest, then looked at Luo Juzhou who was glaring at her angrily. Without a word, she stepped forward and slapped him across the face. There was no warmth whatsoever in her beautiful face as she fiercely rebuked him.
"Miss Luo, you're running wild on my territory. Do you think I, Feng Lingxi, am dead"
Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the maidservant beside Luo Juzhou as if wanting to report them. With a flicker of her eyes, Xiaoli swiftly stepped forward and stopped them.
"Feng Lingxi, you dare strike this county princess I will tell my father and see how he punishes you."
"Your father would have slapped you if he knew what you did today."
Feng Ling stood before her, the coldness in her beautiful eyes made Luo Juzhou feel a little intimidated. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Shutai, “Shutai, look at her…”
"Xier, you handle this yourself. This imperial concubine will explain the truth to Prince Pingxi. It's indeed time to put a stop to it." Shu Taifei let out a cold snort, leaving with her maidservant and reminding them not to allow anyone near here.
Luo Juzhou's unreasonable demands had almost driven her to the edge of her patience. What angered her the most was that she actually splashed hot chicken soup on Xi'er. If it were a hot day and Xi'er wore thin clothes, wouldn't she be scalded Such a ruthless woman, even if she entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, would only bring harm. Let alone, Xi'er entering the palace and becoming a concubine, this matter must have already been resolved.
Luo Juzhou didn't expect Shu Taifei to leave her behind. She cried and hurriedly told her maidservant, "Go quickly and find my father to save me! The fourth princess wants to kill me!"
Looking into Feng Lingxi's gaze, Lu Juzhou felt a surge of fear.
Feng Lingxi walked to the table, glanced at the remaining chicken soup, poured it into a bowl, and held it towards Luo Juzhou, splashing it on her. Luo Juzhou was scalded and screamed.
"Luo Junzhu, how does it taste Do you know it's hot Next time, don't just splash people with hot soup. Today, I'm giving Mother and King Pingxi a face. This matter ends here. If there's another time, I will not show leniency."
Feng Lingxi nodded towards Xiao Li and walked toward her own courtyard.
"Your Highness, are you alright"
Xiaoli anxiously looked at the collar of the princess's clothing. She had noticed earlier that it had turned red where it was splashed with hot soup, but the princess hadn't mentioned it to Shutai. Thankfully, Shutai was also on the princess's side. Otherwise, Xiaoli would have felt really bad for her.
"It's fine, just go back and clean the wound with some medicine. Go help me boil some hot water."
Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes were still cold, but her tone was noticeably softer. She knew Xiaoli was worried about her, but she really didn't want Mother Empress to know that she had been scalded.
When the Empress Dowager said those words, she would splash soup on Luo Ju Zhou. This arrogant and rude county princess truly angered her.
News of Luo Ju Zhou's scald reached Pingxi Wang quickly. When Pingxi Wang learned that it was Feng Ling Xi who had done it, his face darkened immediately. Just as he was about to go out and find out what happened, he saw Shu Taifei walking in.
"Cheng'er, go and see Xi'er, she was burned by a boat oar and won't let me mother concubine look. Go and see how badly she is hurt"
As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, Prince Pingxi felt like something was stuck in his throat. Looking at her angry yet helpless expression, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Dugu Cheng's face changed drastically. He hurriedly abandoned the prince and ran away.
"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, what is going on Who burned Xi'er"
Feng Cangkai's face darkened. Hearing that Luo Juzhou had been scalded, and then Xia er had been scalded too, he knew it must have something to do with Luo Juzhou.
“Prince of the West, you should ask Princess Luoyang about this matter. This concubine truly doesn't know what to say. To be honest, this concubine treats her like her own daughter. Even if she couldn't become this concubine's daughter-in-law, she wouldn't be so ruthless. Xier is this concubine's daughter-in-law, bestowed upon her by the late emperor. This concubine knows that she hasn't been pregnant for a year since marrying Cheng'er, and people outside are gossiping about it.”
Shu Taifei paused, her expression growing colder. "Even so, this concubine will not allow anyone to bully her. Xi'er and the Fourth Prince have shared hardships together, and she has never complained. This concubine promised upon entering that she would not be bullied. However, due to Luo Guanyin's broken promise, Luo Guanyin's actions this time have deeply disappointed this concubine. If she attacks Xi'er today, who knows who will be next when she enters the house This kind of daughter-in-law is one that this concubine dare not accept."
Pingxi Wang's face turned pale and red several times before he finally bowed to Shu Taifei, apologizing. "It is my fault for not educating him properly. I will return and discipline him well. I will have Zhou apologize to the Fourth Princess."
"Prince Pingxi, although I have retired, I still possess the iron edict granted to me by the late Emperor. I will not allow anyone to bully my Feng family."
Upon hearing the words "Iron Curtain Scroll," Prince Pingxi's complexion darkened even further.
Let the King of Pingxi handle this matter first. Miss Luo is still young; it's best to teach her properly.
Pingnan Wang Quanan advised for peace, watching Pingxi Wang like this, he clearly understood that Shu Taifei was unhappy about this marriage. However, it's also good, so that Pingxi Wang wouldn't look down on his Pingnan Wangfu because of clinging to Shu Taifei.out."Even without looking at Wan'er, Feng Lingxi resolutely went out. Wan'er bit her lip aggrievedly, but she didn't cry."Why bother"Dugu Cheng stroked Wan'er's head, "Being as stubborn as your mother...
