Chapter 8: Child-Avoiding Soup

de Zhaoran County Princess so furious that her eyes were about to burst into flames, but she dared not show her anger."Your Highness, my sister is fine. You should rest early. I will attend to you and...Zhang watched the smile on her daughter's face, unsure of what she was thinking. She could only feel a pang of heartache.

"Xier, Mother is sorry."

Zhang held her hand, tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Li rushed in, plopping to her knees before Zhang shi with tears streaming down her face. "Madam, please save Miss! She can't marry into the Fourth Prince's manor and be a widow!"

"Xiao Li," Feng Ling Xi shouted, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang looked at her daughter's fierce eyes, her face paling. It seemed she already knew

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother's worried expression and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry. I said I wouldn't disobey the imperial decree, so I won't. It's just marrying the Fourth Prince, right I agree to it."

"Xi'er..."

Zhang's voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face. She sighed, and after a long pause, said, "It's mother who is sorry, for making you marry into such a place and live a life of widowhood."

"Mother, Fourth Royal Prince isn't a War God To marry such a heroic woman, Xi'er feels proud, not wronged at all."

Instead, it solved one of her major problems, preventing Liu from constantly scheming against her, plotting to ruin her reputation and virtue.

"Xier, since you've said so, your mother won't keep it from you. Lord Zhao secretly told me that the Fourth Prince is merely missing, perhaps still alive. You marrying him would be a marriage to bring good fortune, and who knows, maybe one day the Fourth Prince will return."

"Will you come back"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "If she's dead, then don't come back. No, it seems like she still needs to make plans early."

Zhang hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Xi'er, there is still a chance, don't be afraid, I am here."

Zhang Shi's concern warmed Feng Ling Xi's heart. She thought to herself that before she got married, she must cure Zhang Shi's illness and help her secure her position in the family. This would be a way to fulfill her filial piety to the original owner.

"Mother, Xi'er understands. Take good care of yourself, Xi'er is going back now."

After bidding farewell to Zhang, Feng Lingxi returned to her courtyard and saw Xiao Li returning from outside. She hurriedly closed the door.

"Little Li, how's it going I asked you to investigate the Four Kings Manor, have you got any news"

Xiao Li's eyes were red. "Miss, I only heard that the Fourth Prince doesn't consort with women, and there are no women in the manor. Miss, if you marry him, you will be the only woman in the Fourth Prince's Manor."

Feng Lingxi waved her hand, "These will be enough."

She didn't marry with the intention of staying long, and there wasn't much else to know about it.

The most troublesome thing right now is probably the man she slept with that night… He actually found his way here. It seems like she needs to find a way to shut him up, or else things are going to be very messy.

Thinking of this, Feng Lingxi changed her clothes and was about to go out, but she was forced back by Liu Shi.

"Xi'er, you are getting married soon, it is not suitable to go out in public. If there is anything you need, just tell the servants to do it."

The Liu family was afraid that if the news of King War God's death spread, she might refuse to marry.

Wind Lingxi looked at Liu Shi, clearly understanding the schemes brewing in her heart. She calmly said, "I feel a little unwell, Aunt. Could you please call the doctor who saw me a few days ago"

The second wife's face changed slightly. Although she didn't understand what Feng Lingxi wanted to do, right now she would agree to anything as long as she didn't go out.

"Alright, alright, I'll have that doctor come over right away."

Half an hour later, Liu arrived with a physician, smiling brightly and saying, "Xier, if you have any further needs, just tell me."

Feng Lingxi took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, “Then I’ll trouble Second Madam. These are the things I need right now. Although I’m getting married in a few days, I still need to prepare what I should. It’s not good for people to say that I, the future Fourth Princess of the General’s Mansion, am poorly dressed.”

Liu's face changed slightly. She was finding new ways to say that she had abused her.

Thinking that in a few days she would be married off, Liu Shi squeezed out a smile as she took the order from her. Looking at the list of clothing and accessories, the smile on her face was almost gone. This little girl, she actually wanted so much.

"Second aunt, please buy it for me first and bring it to me as soon as possible."

Liu shi looked at the doctor, just about to speak when Feng Ling Xi said, "Doctor, after you check me, I will send him out. If Second Auntie is not at ease, you can leave your maidservant to watch."

"What words could make me not worry " He said, winking at the doctor, "Please have a look at the Fourth Miss."

The physician looked up at Feng Lingxi, and was startled by her fierce gaze. He quickly lowered his head and wiped a cold sweat from his brow in secret.

After seeing off Liu shi, Feng Ling Xi sat at the table and looked at the doctor, smiling faintly.

"Doctor, how have you been these past two days"

Upon hearing this, the doctor recalled her words from that day and knelt down with a thud. "Miss Four, I haven't uttered a single word to Madam Two."

Feng Lingxi helped him up. "The doctor is a smart man, he knows what to say and what not to say. You should know this too. I have already been betrothed by the Emperor, and in seven days I will be married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After that, there will be many opportunities for us to meet."

The doctor, hearing her words, trembled in his legs. "I don't quite understand what Miss Fourth is saying."

"My condition, I suppose, is well-known to the doctor. I want a concoction for avoiding pregnancy." kneel down with a thud, which surprised the middle-aged man opposite her."Uncle Emperor.""Little Butterfly""This familiar voice and face, Feng Qin Wang looked at the woman in front of him with disbel...
