Chapter 1240: War Clouds Gather

the world before. She wanted to buy everything in the capital city back home."Princess Yaohua, this candied fruit is delicious. Would you like to try one"Feng Yu Xi looked at her, veiled. He wanted t...Could she possibly not know that Yu Xi was by the chieftain's side

Is this Feng Lingxi here to inquire about the Yao tribe's news

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhang's eyes and smiled, "This time I return to Beijing, I heard that the clan leader also came. I wonder if the third sister followed him here Since there are no companions this trip, I really want to see the third sister."

She never came back.

Zhang Shi knew that she couldn't hide the news of Yu Xi being alive from Feng Ling Xi. She had known all along, and knew everything, so she might as well not play dumb with her.

"Another day, if I see the chieftain, I'll ask him for you. Third Sister, this person is rather fickle. I've known her for a long time and didn't realize she was so skilled in martial arts. I must have poor eyesight."

The Crown Princess of Chen joked, "Rain Xi's three-legged cat kung fu is useless at all. It's the Crown Princess of Chen's medical skills that have improved even more, I hear."

Zhang's heart was filled with unease. Feng Lingxi bringing up old grievances left her feeling confused and unsettled. She couldn't figure out what Feng Lingxi wanted, but a sense of instability gnawed at her.

"This medical skill isn't particularly refined, but this poison art has improved quite a bit. However, it's just a personal hobby, so there's no need to mention it."

Feng Ling's eyes fell on Zhang Shi. She was truly nervous. With Feng Ling being so amiable, why would Zhang Shi be so afraid of her Was there something she was hiding

"Madam, I have something I would like to ask you, but I don't know if you are willing to tell me"

Zhang stopped her steps, looked at Feng Lingxi, and swallowed hard.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, please, do not be so modest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will certainly answer them truthfully."

"Madam, do you still remember when my mother first married into the General's Mansion, did anyone come to visit her Was there anywhere she particularly liked to go"

When suddenly asked about Yao Wan'ying's past, Zhang was somewhat surprised. When she had entered the house, Yao Wan'ying was already out of favor and had been staying in her courtyard for years.

After I entered the household, your mother stayed in her courtyard all year round, with you by her side. She never went out.

Feng Lingxi nodded her head in agreement, "Thank you, madam, for letting me know."

"You're welcome."

Zhang watched Feng Lingxi fall into deep thought, her curiosity growing. How could Feng Lingxi suddenly bring up childhood matters Could she be investigating Yao Wan'ying

But Yao Wan'ying is her biological mother, what was she investigating about her own mother

"I heard your mother went missing, have you heard anything from her"

After Zhang finished asking, she regretted it. She had thought Feng Lingxi would not answer, but to her surprise, Feng Lingxi told the truth.

"My mother has been missing for several years. This time back to Beijing, Xiaomi asked me to take her to see a doctor. Passing by the courtyard where she used to live, I recalled childhood memories and asked the Madam about it, causing her to laugh."

Zhang lowered her head, following Feng Lingxi's side, but in her heart she did not agree with what Feng Lingxi said.

This Tian Xiaomi is just infected with a cold. Feng Lingxi personally ran over to see her, she certainly wouldn't remember asking her these things when she was a child. Feng Lingxi must be checking on Yao Wan Ying, it seems that Yao Wan Ying is going to appear.

She has been hiding for years, stealing treasures and disappearing without a trace. Feng Lingxi must have come here because of this.

"Xi'er."

Feng Lingxi returned to the front hall. When Dugu Cheng and Feng Aotian saw her, Feng Aotian actually stood up.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, would you care to stay for a meal"

Feng Lingxi was slightly taken aback, looking at Dugu City. Seeing him nod, she smiled and said, "Just now, the Duchess of Zhen Guo has spoken, her invitation is hard to refuse, so my husband and I have troubled you."

"Don't mention it. I haven't had the chance to thank you for your help with this matter in Tumu Town. Just a meal, Your Highness and Her Royal Highness, please don't mind."

Feng Aotian saw Feng Ling and smiled at him, hurriedly instructing Zhang Shi.

"Madam, quickly tell the kitchen to prepare. We mustn't keep Prince Chen and Princess Chen waiting."

Zhang nodded and instructed them to behave themselves before leaving.

"Marshal of the State, I have several questions I would like to ask you. I hope Marshal of the State will be able to answer them."

Feng Lingxi looked at the maids and servants in the hall. Feng Aotien, seeing Feng Lingxi speak, dismissed them.

"The Crown Princess of Chen, please ask whatever you have to say."

Since the incident in Tumeng Town, Feng Aotian has become much kinder to Feng Lingxi. After all, Feng Lingxi had helped him that time and didn't hold a grudge. He remembered this kindness, he had to repay it, only then could he feel at ease.

"When your wife married me, did she have a place she liked to go"

"Favorite place"

Feng Lingxi nodded, seeing Feng Aotian furrow his brow in thought. After a while, he said, "There is one, she had a house here in the capital when she married me, but that house is gone now, it was bought by someone else long ago."

During the first two years of our marriage, she would visit her old family home once a month. After two years, she never went back again. Back then, I treated her very well, but she was unwilling to tell me why. I didn't press her, and later I found out that it was where she and her previous lover had lived.

“Then do you know what that man looked like What was he like, and what was his name”

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists unconsciously as she reached this point. She was a little nervous, hoping Feng Aotian would know, but also worried that he wouldn't tell her if he did.

"I don't know his name, and I've never seen the man. I even asked your mother, but she wouldn't say a word. Not even in her sleep has she mentioned him. So, I know nothing about that man."

Wind Lingxi, upon hearing this, had her tense expression instantly replaced with dejection.

Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi's disheartened eyes, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.

"Wait for me a moment."

Feng Aotien left, after the ceremony, he walked over with a fist-sized box in his hand and handed it to Feng Lingxi.

"This is..."

Curiously, she opened the box and looked at the jade pendant inside. Feng Lingxi picked it up and examined its texture carefully. It was surprisingly similar to the piece Lu Nian had given to Wan'er, except that this one didn't have any inscriptions.

"This is something I found in the trash your mother threw out."

Feng Aotiān reluctantly said, "The year you were born, after your mother gave birth to you, she went to the old house with you a full moon later. I watched her outside the old house for a day and night. When she left the old house, she dropped this thing in her clothes. I picked it up when I went in and took it back to keep it safe, thinking that she would definitely come back one day. She did go back later, but she didn't expect me to have taken it away. I had thought about giving it back to her, but she then sold the old house and never went back again. So I kept this thing."

Feng Aotian said this, his whole being filled with relief.

For so many years, he let go of Yao Wan Ying and also let himself go. Now facing Feng Ling Xi, his heart was no longer filled with hatred like before.

Feng Lingxi looked at the jade pendant. Could this be the token of love given to her mother by her biological father

Based on the jade pendant's quality, the one Lu Nian gave Wan'er and the one she currently holds are extremely similar. Coupled with what Lu Nian said, Feng Lingxi can almost be certain that her father is Lu Nian's father.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ows them to control everything. As long as I am here, they don't even dare to dream about it.""Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not worth it."Feng Ling quickly helped Empress Cen regulate her breath...
