tioning gazes, their eyes darting back and forth between each other.The Empress did indeed say that, but they didn't know who it was yet, after all, the person hadn't arrived."What evidence do you hav..."Feng Ling Xi!"

When Liu heard this, she was furious and stomped her feet. Watching the servants carry away all the betrothal gifts, she dared not speak out of anger.

She actually dared to threaten her, it really pissed her off.

Feng Lingxi left without looking back. Liu shi, furious, threw what was in her hand to the ground. "This damned bitch, she's getting more and more out of line."

Xiao Li followed Miss closely behind, watching her with a stern face, and hurriedly apologized, "Fourth Miss, it's all my fault."

Feng Ling's footsteps halted, turning back to look at the bruised and swollen Xia Li. He spoke in a low voice, "This isn't your fault. If you encounter something like this again, please tell me first."

She was no longer the Feng Lingxi of old, she would never meekly surrender her possessions.

Back in the courtyard, it wasn't long before the dowry sent by the royal family arrived one after another.

Feng Lingxi asked for the dowry list, and after counting through it, her brows furrowed.

"Where is the Purple Jade Guanyin"

The housemaid, startled by the Fourth Miss's cold question, fell to her knees and stammered, "Returning to the Fourth Miss, it was the Second Madam..."

"Second Aunt!"

Windling Xi corrected, her sharp gaze sweeping over the servants present, “Remember this well, there is only one mistress of this General's Mansion, my mother Zhang shi. Liu shi is merely an aunt.”

"Fourth Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. We are just servants. The Second Madam told us to address her this way, and we dare not disobey."

The head servant spoke first, and the other servants agreed.

A sudden loud crack, and the wooden box before them was shattered to pieces.

Feng Lingxi coldly opened her mouth, "If this young lady's words you don't understand, then the consequences will be like this wooden box."

Yes, Fourth Miss!

The common people were so terrified that they knelt down, all intimidated by Feng Ling Xi's aura.

"Take these boxes over there for me."

Seeing the people hurriedly moving things, Xiaoli excitedly stepped forward, "Miss, you are so amazing, with just one roar, you scared them all."

Feng Lingxi dragged Xiao Li into the room, applied medicine to her wounds, and looked at the bruises on her face, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Since this Jade Guanyin is a betrothal gift, it should be mine."

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Xiao Li's face to change slightly, and she quickly advised, "Miss, Second Aunt took this Purple Jade Guanyin statue and definitely won't give it back. If that's the case, let's just forget about it. It's just one less item anyway."

"Not one less."

The Purple Jade Guanyin is also very important to her. She'll have a lot of expenses in the future, and she thought about what she would do after marrying into that family without these things. How could she make money

Feng Lingxi casually grabbed the rouge and powder from the table and said to Xiaoli, "Come on, let's go find Second Aunt."

Willow Garden

Liu held the purple jade Guanyin statue tightly, her eyes lingering on it with undisguised delight. Feng Linglong, standing beside her, grumbled in displeasure, "Mother, she treated you so poorly, how can you bear this insult What's so good about this broken Guanyin statue She took all the dowry and left, is she even a person from the Feng family"

"Your father will be back in a couple of days. I'll tell him then, and you can ask him what he thinks about those dowry items the bride's family might take away"

Liu's lips curled into a sneer, "Feng Lingxi truly thinks I would be afraid of her threats. Just wait until your father returns, she'll have to hand everything over. A widowed princess who married into the family, she really thinks she's something."

"Of course, Mother, you absolutely can't let her take the dowry away! I want those dowries for my own dowry."

Feng Linglong acted coquettishly, holding onto Liu Shi's hand. Liu Shi looked at her with doting eyes and said, "You silly girl, when you get married, your mother will naturally give you the best."

"Mother, Linglong knows you care for me the most. When I marry the prince, I will become empress, and mother will be the Empress Dowager."

Feng Lingxi walked to the willow garden, wanting to report to the maidservant, but she was stopped by them. Unexpectedly, she heard these words, making the coldness in Feng Lingxi's eyes even deeper.

She knew Liu Shi had no good intentions and was plotting to whisper in her father's ear.

And this Feng Linglong, actually wants to marry the Crown Prince It's simply ridiculous.

"Second Aunt, what are Big Sister and I talking about"

Feng Lingxi strode in, startling Liu Shi so much that she trembled. The jade Guanyin in her hand fell to the ground and broke its head.

"Miss, it is Ziyù Guanyin."

Xiao Li cried out in alarm, looking at the broken Purple Jade Guanyin, she was very angry.

Feng Lingxi coldly swept her eyes over the Purple Jade Guanyin, just about to step forward, when Liu shi hurriedly bent down and picked up the Purple Jade Guanyin, hiding it in a box, her eyes flustered.

"What are you talking about, Purple Jade Guanyin You little brat, what's wrong with your eyes Don't spout nonsense!"

"Second Aunt, I just counted my dowry and found a missing jade Guanyin statue. After thinking about it, since you received the dowry, the jade Guanyin must have been accidentally left behind with Second Aunt. I specially came over to ask Second Aunt to return it to me. After all, although these dowries are nominally sent out by the Fourth Prince's Mansion, they are actually bestowed by the Emperor, each one is a treasure, and it's not right to be missing even one. Don't you agree, Second Aunt"

Feng Lingxi's words caused Liu shi's face to change color suddenly. She gripped the box tightly with both hands, her heart pounding wildly.

"What do you mean by that, Fourth Sister Just because the dowry is a bit less, you suspect my mother Perhaps it was some clueless servant who took it"

Feng Linglong reprimanded, looking at Feng Lingxi's current state, she was very angry. She really thought she was the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, but she was still the eldest daughter of the Feng family.

Feng Lingxi stared at the box Liu Shi protected behind her, a slight smile appeared on her face as she walked towards Feng Linglong. She raised her hand and slapped her hard.

Feng Linglong was caught off guard by her attack, and a slap print instantly appeared on her fair face. The burning pain enraged Feng Linglong.

She wanted to slap Feng Lingxi back, but Feng Lingxi grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"Audacity! Not to mention that I am the eldest daughter of the Fengfu family, just because I have been betrothed to the Fourth Prince by the Emperor and will soon become the Fourth Princess, you dare to speak to me like this Should I silence you"

"Feng Lingxi, you're just married to the deceased Fourth Prince, becoming a widow. Who do you think you are Just wait until I marry the Crown Prince…"

Before Feng Linglong could finish her words, she was slapped hard across the face by Liu Shi. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she looked at her mother in disbelief.

"Linglong, I see you are truly crazy, rambling here like this. Come on, take Miss to my room and lock her up! She is not to step out of the house without my permission!"ountain. Let them wait patiently.""If the Grand Elder knew about this, wouldn't he..."Don't let him know.Luo Li warned, "You know the head elder's temperament. If he knows about this, I fear we will...
