about being entangled with him."Don't worry, I won't bother you. If it weren't for the fact that you were hurt because of me, I wouldn't even bother with you."獨孤城 let go of her hand, "Go apply some m..."You make me sound so mysterious! I'm just an ordinary person like everyone else."

Luoli took a sip, but the smile at the corner of her lips didn't give Feng Lingxi any sense of his amusement. The darkness in his eyes held too much, too deep, she didn't dare to look or investigate.

"Xier, these fallen young masters and Li young master have been praising you all the time. To have such a sister is truly my blessing. However, you suffered so much hardship before, from now on with your brother here, no one will bully you again."

Lu Nian was very protective. Before his parents left, they told him that if Feng Ling Xi had any problems, he should bring his head to them.

This little sister is the only daughter of their Lu family, and she can't have even a slight mishap.

"The brother of the Princess Consort is really someone I envy."

She walked down the secluded path, gazing at Li Wu-Yan who remained silent by her side. "Li Wu-Yan, do you share such thoughts as well"

"It's fine to be alone, I don't need anyone."

Feng Lingxi watched Li Wuyan's cold attitude, always feeling that there was something amiss between Li Wuyan and Luoli now, but she couldn't see what it was.

"Ay, Yan, don't you have me by your side Don't always say you're alone. If you say that, what am I"

Luo Li's tone was tinged with grievance, which made Li Wu Yan roll his eyes and ignore him.

"Why are you angry again"

Luo Li's tone was full of resignation as she looked at Li Wu Yan, "Want to go for a walk together"

Lǐ Wúyán stood up and went downstairs. Luò Lí didn't expect that he would really leave after just saying it casually, so she hurriedly got up to say goodbye and chased after him.

"These two are really interesting."

Lu Nian watched them walk away, "Li Wu Yan's personality is really cold, Luoli to have such a brother is also enviable."

"I actually think Li Wuyan's attitude is a bit strange, he wasn't like this before."

Li Wuyan seemed to have something on his mind. Although he wasn't talkative before, he wouldn't just leave without a word, not even a goodbye.

"Not them, but you, how did you come to find me Is there something the matter"

"I just heard that Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu left, so I went to take a look. I thought you all had left, so I came to sit at Yi Pin Xiang." Feng Lingxi didn't hide anything from Lu Nian. She really did go to the city gate.

Lu Nian's eyes lit up, "Little sister, are you reluctant to see your parents leave"

"Just to be clear, don't overthink it. I said I wouldn't admit them."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian's attitude, "And you, don't always call me 'sister'. I am the Imperial General who came from the court. My foster father is at the station, and I don't want him to notice you."

Lu Nian wore an expression of indifference. "I wouldn't put him in my eyes anyway. I'm opening a wine shop here, and even if I'm not from the Great Yuan Dynasty, there's no rule saying I can't do business here, is there"

"All that said, you should still be careful. The court is a very troublesome place."

Lu Nian heard Feng Lingxi's words, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Sister, are you concerned about me"

Feng Lingxi's eyes flashed slightly, she looked away and said, "I just don't want you to get into trouble."

"If you care, just admit it. It's not a shameful thing to do. Besides, don't you think you're pretty cute like this now"

Feng Lingxi got up and pretended to glare at him menacingly, "I don't care about you."

"Alright, if you don't care, then don't care. What's the point of getting angry."

Lu Nian didn't believe it. He knew Feng Lingxi was concerned about him. This sister of his was just a contradiction in terms, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Even their mother had said that she was actually a very kind person.

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi's displeasure and hurriedly pressed her down to sit.

"Are you hungry I've told Xiao Er to bring up the dishes. Everything is free for everyone here, would you like some"

Lu Nian tried to appease Feng Lingxi, gazing at her slender frame, and added, “Just don’t be angry, okay I was wrong.”

Wind Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, "Do your parents want you to live here for a long time"

Actually, she wasn't angry. Instead, Lu Nian had hit the nail on the head. She really did feel reluctant to see Mrs. Lu and Lu Hao leave. She didn't actually dislike Lu Hao that much; it was just her mother's words that forced her to comply.

"That's not entirely what our parents meant. You might not be aware, but Lu Yi and I have always been this way. Wherever we go, we expand our business there. This expansion of our family business can't be done overnight. If a place likes us, we'll stay for a year or two. If they don't, we'll simply move on."

"In that case, wouldn't the Lu family own everything in the world"

Lu Nian thought for a moment, then nodded.

"It's about the same, after all, who doesn't want more money Besides, I think making money is more interesting than staying at the Lu family."

Lu Nian's words made Feng Lingxi even more curious, and she voiced her doubts, "Isn't the Lu family good"

"That's great, it would be even better if I were a girl."

Lu Nian's words made Feng Lingxi even more angry. What kind of family was the Lu family Why were they so obsessed with their daughter

"You wouldn't believe it, your parents know about you. Their attitude towards us three is like we were picked up from a latrine."

Lu Nian's face was full of disdain, which made Feng Lingxi's lips twitch slightly, "Is it that exaggerated"

"It's not an exaggeration, so we three all like to be outside."

Feng Lingxi's eyes dimmed, hearing Lu Nian's words, her heart ached.

Every family has their own business, and every child is dearly loved. But Lu Nian's treatment was so different, making her think she had it bad enough. Unexpectedly, even they weren't likeable.

"By that logic, you should hate me. If it weren't for me, you might..."

“Don't overthink it, even without you, they would still treat us the same. But don't get any ideas either, they may not like sons, but they wouldn't mistreat us. They just discipline us strictly, raising us unlike those pampered young masters from other families.”

Lu Nian was afraid that Feng Ling Xi thought their childhood was too tragic, feeling guilty and self-blame, so he quickly explained.

"My mother has very high expectations for men. She wouldn't allow us to be idle young masters like those in other families. From a young age, we had to excel in both academics and physical skills. Moreover, she strictly disciplined us, demanding that we remain chaste until marriage. However, she didn't dictate who we should marry. Instead, she encouraged us to find suitable partners ourselves and didn't insist on matching social status. She was quite reasonable in this regard."

Lu Nian's evaluation of her mother made Feng Lingxi quite envious. In this era, having such an understanding and reasonable mother is indeed a blessing.

"Hearing you say that, I'm actually envious of you. Your mother has raised you all so well."

Lu Nian smiled and said, "I feel the same way. My mother is the best in the world. As the saying goes, a loving mother raises filial children, right"

"Mrs. Lu is indeed a rare woman, and I like her very much, I admire her."

Wind Ling Xi's evaluation made Lu Nian laugh even happier, "I told you, my mother is so good, there's no reason why you wouldn't like her."

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, looking at Lu Nian's playful smile. She was truly envious of him for having such a wonderful mother. However, she wasn't bad either. Since coming into this world, she had also met such a good mother.
