Chapter 77: Battle on the Bed
at Xiaoli, her eyes colder. Seeing Xiaoli's silence, the coldness in her voice frightened Pi Shuang beside her. She spoke up and persuaded, "Your Highness, Xiaoli is only doing this to help me. She di...Hearing this, Feng Lingyu’s face turned pale with fright. She saw her parents walking over and immediately grabbed onto Feng Lingxi's skirt, bursting into tears.
"Si Mei, I know you hate me, but what about Er Jie She's fallen to this point. Why do you still pressure me so relentlessly"
"You're not even worthy of my hate."
Feng Lingxi's words had just fallen when she heard footsteps behind her. Just as she was about to make a move, she saw Feng Lingyu get up and run towards the back, shouting loudly, "Father, save me! Fourth sister wants to kill me."
Wind Aotian heard that they had returned and wanted to see the Fourth Prince, but he didn't expect to see such a scene. Looking at Feng Lingxi's face full of killing intent and Lingyu's terrified expression, Wind Aotian's face darkened.
"Nonsense, Xier, you're my fourth sister, how could I possibly kill you."
Feng Lingyu clutched Feng Aotiān's arm, tears streaking her pale face as she sobbed, "Father, Fourth Sister said I seduced the Fourth Prince and wants to kill me. Daughter wouldn't dare speak lies. Now that Fourth Sister is so esteemed, if she wants to kill me, please, Father, save me."
Liu shi looked at Feng Ling xi's face full of killing intent and hurriedly rebuked, "Ling Yu, don't talk nonsense. How could Xi er want to kill you Are you confused How can you say such things about your own sister You don't even have a shred of a elder sister's demeanor."
"Mother, she really..."
Before Feng Lingyu could finish her words, she was slapped by Liu Shi. Tears streamed down Feng Lingyu's face even more fiercely as she looked at the warning in Liu Shi's eyes, her tears of grievance falling uncontrollably.
"Xier, your second sister is foolish and talks nonsense. You mustn't lower yourself to her level. If she says anything offensive to you, I will apologize on her behalf."
Liu walked to Feng Lingxi's face, apologized to Feng Lingxi, and Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes fell on Feng Lingyu who glared at her with anger and unwillingness. Her beautiful eyes flickered and returned to Liu's body.
"Second Aunt, you just believe it's Second Sister who wronged me, and not that I really wanted to kill her"
Feng Ling Xi's words caused Feng Ao Tian's face to sink. He opened his mouth and said, "Xi Er, how could you say such a thing Ling Yu is your second sister."
"Does she really treat me as her fourth younger sister"
Feng Ling Xi walked to Feng Ling Yu's face, "You tell father what you said when I arrived, holding the King."
"Holding onto the prince"
Feng Aotian's face changed drastically upon hearing this. This involved the Fourth Prince, which was a different matter altogether.
"Lingyu, what did you tell the Wangye"
Feng Aotian - roared angrily, startling Feng Lingyu's body into a shiver, her eyes filled with fear.
"Perhaps Your Majesty should speak for her then."
Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's side, looking at the killing intent in her eyes, and said, "The second miss told this king that Xi'er is foolish and naive, not worthy of this king. She said she doesn't know how to play the qin, chess, calligraphy, or painting."
Feng Lingxi's brow furrowed slightly. Hearing these words come from Du Gucheng's mouth, they felt somewhat sarcastic.
Feng Aotian's face changed, and he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, Xi'er had a high fever when she was young, which damaged her brain. She didn't learn what a woman should learn. I am guilty, but Xi'er is intelligent. After recovering from the illness, she even learned medicine. I believe that in the near future, she will be proficient in everything like qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
"Father, you really flatter me. I've never been good at anything since I was little. If you boast like this and I end up learning nothing, wouldn't that disappoint the King"
Feng Aotien's face changed slightly, looking at Feng Lingxi's coldness in her eyes. She clearly didn't want him to feel better.
Even if she truly couldn't learn, she shouldn't have said it out loud. If the prince really despised her, did she think she could still have a good life
"Xier, don't be afraid. This king is just a martial artist. I have no interest in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I am good at leading troops and fighting battles. Xier, you are skilled in medicine. While I fight on the battlefield, you can tend to the wounded in camp. That's why you are the most suitable candidate to be my queen."
Du Gucheng's words shocked Feng Aotien. He knew that the King treated Xi'er well, but he didn't expect it to be this way, was he planning to bring her on his expedition
But what surprised him most was that Xi'er was a skilled doctor.
"Xier, when did you learn medicine How come I don't know"
When did the general ever care for Xi'er
Zhang approached, followed by two maids. Upon hearing about the situation, she initially intended not to come. However, she couldn't bear it any longer. Hearing the servants' opinions of Xi'er, she didn't want Xi'er to be wronged further.
"Madam, how did you come to be here"
Feng Aotien saw Zhang Shi appear and hurried forward. Zhang Shi walked to Feng Lingxi's face, grasped her hand, and looked at her with helplessness in her eyes.
"Mother, how did you come here Wasn't I supposed to let you rest"
Feng Lingxi didn't want her to come here, didn't want her mother to see her arguing with her father.
These things, she copes with them.
"When Mother heard the servants in the courtyard talking ill of you, she came to see what you had done wrong. After all, why, from childhood to adulthood, whether before or after illness, does your elder sister treat you this way"
"Sister, what do you mean by that Lingyu doesn't exist. Xi'er is now the Fourth Princess..."
What does it matter what the Fourth Royal Consort does Do you even consider her, the Fourth Royal Consort, to be important You haven't even shown her the basic respect she deserves.
Zhang looked at Liu, "Xi'er was kind enough to bring her to Si Wangfu to nurture her and make her the consort of the Fourth Prince. She messed around with other men and got into trouble, and now she still wants to spout nonsense here and smear Xi'er's innocence, even saying bad things about her behind her back. Liu, is this the daughter you raised"
"Sister, I don't have any, I…"
Liu hurriedly explained, but before she could finish her words, Zhang interrupted her. Looking at Liu's appearance, she became angry.
“Liu shi, do you really think I don't know what you've done to me all these years” Zhang shi looked at Liu shi, her eyes so cold that Liu shi began to wipe tears, looking at Zhang shi through tears, “Sister, I know you're feeling better now and want to take charge of the family, but you just have to say a word, and I will return it all to you. Now that Lingyu has met with an accident, I am even less able to manage the family, but sister, you don't have to speak to me like this. All these years, I have tried my best to run this family, giving my heart and soul for it. I never thought that in your eyes, my sister would be mistaken for wanting to compete with you for the right to manage the family.”
Liu's tears streamed down her face, her pitiful appearance made Feng Aotien feel unwilling to look away.
"Madam, Xiao Die has been managing the household for you these years without making any mistakes. How can you speak to her like this"
Feng Aotian couldn't help but speak, and Zhang suddenly sneered.
"The General still knows that I am your lawfully wedded wife. How could I have heard the General call her "Mrs. Liu" in front of me If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't dare believe that the General would ignore me to this extent." seems this teahouse isn't safe anymore.It's unclear whether it's Empress Dowager Cixi or Yao Feifei's people."Your Highness, shall we inquire further""No need, go back first."Feng Ling Xi was just ab...
