er, everything will be done according to your wishes."Now she and the Empress are at odds. If her mother were truly gone from her side, no longer a threat, she could act without a care in the world. B..."Xiao Feng, you don't have to worry about me, this happened so many years ago, no one knows about it anymore."

Tao Su poured himself a glass of wine. Although his tone was flat, there was a hint of sadness in it. After all, such a big event, anyone would find it hard to let go.

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and smiled faintly, "How do you know I'm not afraid of being recognized"

"Do many people know you"

Tao Su countered, Feng Ling Xi's expression stiffened slightly, and she smiled, "That's right, this is the country of Xi Gu. How many people here would even know me."

Dinner.

Feng Lingxi passed the bowls and chopsticks to them, and gossip started again from the neighbors.

“I heard that Young Master Lu is coming back, arriving in a few days. You see, the eldest daughter of the Lu family is really good at hiding. This person has disappeared without a trace. The Lu family is truly miserable, they can’t even find their own daughter.”

"That's right, this Miss Lu is nowhere to be found now."

Feng Ling lowered her head and ate, then looked up at Tao Su staring at her silently.

"I heard that the eldest Miss Lu is stunningly beautiful, a beauty like no other. It's a pity she's already married."

It's truly a pity that she was divorced by her husband. The current Empress Dowager has been so upset by this that she hasn't eaten for several days.

"This isn't Lu Fu-ren's biological daughter, the Empress Dowager is Lu Fu-ren's mother's family, how could she care so much about this daughter"

The air crackled with gossip, so thick it felt like a physical heat even as Wind Ling Xi sat. She seemed to have become the talk of every tavern and restaurant in town, her every move dissected and discussed at every table. It was never-ending.

Tao Su listened, his eyes occasionally drifting to Feng Ling Xi. After these days of interaction, he had a general idea of this young Feng's background. Now, hearing this, he understood her identity more clearly.

Changming was different from them; he listened with great interest, completely oblivious to the fact that they were talking about Feng Lingxi across from him.

"You wouldn't know about this, would you This involves the secrets of the Nangong family and the Lu family."

"What secret"

Everyone looked curiously at the speaker. He just glanced at them and said, “These are all secrets, how could they be so easily revealed to you.”

"Tch."

Feng Lingxi's topic did not end there, but what puzzled her was why she was now called the eldest lady of the Lu family instead of the Crown Princess of Chen

It seems that some things have happened in Xiguo these days.

"So there's another Miss Lu How come we never heard of her before"

Changming, hearing them fall silent, asked himself and looked at Taosu, "Boss, have you heard"

Tao Su glanced at Feng Ling Xi and shook his head.

"I really don't know how beautiful this Miss Lu is. She could have people talking about her for so many years." Chang Ming stared at Feng Lingxi, "Xiaofeng, actually I think you are a thousand times more beautiful than the Miss Lu they say. You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen."

Feng Lingxi was slightly taken aback, and softly said, "It's just a skin, whether it's good-looking or not, isn't it all the same in the end"

"That's different, you see, the eldest brother and I are not the same. The eldest brother is handsome and comfortable, but I am not. If a young lady were to choose, she would definitely choose the eldest brother over me."

Long Ming's voice was filled with envy. Who wouldn't want to be beautiful Opportunities would be different.

It's time to eat.

Tao Su spoke, seeing Feng Ling Xi was reluctant to talk, he changed the subject, and even more affirmed his own answer.

Xiao Feng is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but he doesn't know about Xiao Feng's past. After all, he went up the mountain five years ago and isn't aware of what happened during those years.

After their meal, Feng Lingxi and the others stayed at the inn. Feng Lingxi didn't go to sleep, but instead sat on the roof of the inn, feeling unhappy. She looked up at the moon, her mood somewhat depressed.

Tomorrow, Lu's family will find out her true identity. She worries that they won't let her leave so easily and that news of her appearance in their home will reach Dugu City's ears.

She didn't want to see Dugu City, but she wanted to see Wan'er. The Wan'er she had been thinking about for the past five years, and the little Li who she didn't know if she was safe now.

In a foreign land, I wonder if they are all doing well, and if they will blame her when they meet again.

"Feeling down"

A figure leaped down, and upon hearing the sound, Feng Lingxi rose to her feet. She looked at Tao Su as he approached and nodded slightly. Tao Su sat down some distance away from her.

"Miss Lu, are you also the Duchess of Chen"

Tao Su looked at Feng Ling Xi, seeing her expression tremble slightly, and immediately nodded.

"I can't keep it from you."

Feng Lingxi looked up at the sky, "The whole world is looking for me, but their purposes are different."

"At least some of them care about you, and me They all want my life. You understand that better than I do."

Feng Lingxi gave a wry smile. "I have never acknowledged the Lu family."

"I heard that the Lu family doesn't have a daughter, and you are the eldest daughter of the head of the Lu family living outside. It was Madam Lu who insisted on recognizing you as her daughter. Both the Lu family and the Nangong family are families that cherish their daughters, and you are the only daughter of their families."

If I had a choice, I wouldn't.

Feng Lingxi sighed, "I don't want any status, I just want to live freely."

"Where's there so much freedom, I thought that way too at first, but I wasn't involved in this conflict. To live a life of such freedom, you have to wipe away all the troubles, only then can you live your own life."

"To wipe it clean" Easier said than done, could she just discard the identity of a Yao Clan Saint Lord

She threw it away, but what about Wan'er

The Yao clan was staring at Wan'er. In two years, Wan'er would be ten years old. The Yao clan wanted her to be their leader. Was it truly to make her the leader, or did they have other plans For these five years, she had been hiding in the mountains, honing her medical skills and martial arts. But she hadn't learned how to face everything from her past.

What she couldn't shake off were the many shackles on her body. She also thought about being carefree and comfortable, but once she stepped out of this world, she was no longer in control of her own destiny.

"My master once said that all the misfortunes in life are a test, whether you accept it or not, you have to face it. Otherwise, you'll live your whole life in your own shackles and won't be happy or fulfilled."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Tao Su, "Give it a try."

Tao Su stood up, "It's getting late, let's rest early. We still have to go to the Lu Mansion tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi responded, her voice a soft whisper. She watched Tao Su leap down and suddenly burst into laughter.

She hid for five years, it was time to face it.

Isn't he just a man

Since she divorced him, Feng Lingxi didn't dare to look at him. In this world, besides Dugucheng, there were more important things for her to do. Her Wan'er, her Siyu and Siqi, her life still had these three children with her. She might have lost Dugucheng, but she had gained three children instead.

The next day, when Feng Lingxi appeared at the front gate of Lu Mansion with Tao Su and said she wanted to see Master Lu and Mistress Lu, the guards at the gate glanced at Feng Lingxi and stumbled inside, shouting, “Miss is back!” Immediately after, the whole Lu Mansion was in an uproar!ng something like that"Xier, this king wants to..." Dugu City leaned down beside her ear, rubbing his breath against her earlobe, making her feel uncomfortable all over. She wanted to avoid him, but h...
