As for Third Sister, we are all Father's daughters. Why do you allow Second Sister to bully you like this Don't you fear that she will ruin your looks and you won't be able to marry"Feng Yu Xi looked...Dugu City looked at Wan'er's cold eyes, thinking of the previous empress dowager's instructions, and nodded.

Then you'll live in the General's Mansion. If anything happens, this king will send someone to pick you up.

"No need, I don't want to go back. Just looking at that place makes me irritated." Wan'er's attitude towards Dugucheng made Feng Lingxi, who was beside them, frown. She knew Wan'er had a lot of opinions about Dugucheng, but he was her biological father after all.

"Mother, let's go home."

"As long as I'm here, I will protect your safety," Wan'er said, holding Feng Lingxi's hand.

Feng Lingxi touched his daughter's head, "Wan'er has grown up."

"What are you still standing there for Let's go. It's been years since we went back. This time, I must definitely make it up to you all." Feng Aotian said with a grin. Although his father had passed away, his relationship with Xi'er had improved. He was truly grateful that over the years, their encounters had helped him unravel the knots in his heart. Now, he felt truly content.

As the group departed, Dugu City's gaze remained fixed on them until their carriage disappeared from sight. Only then did Dugu City return to Chen Wangfu.

"My Lord."

Stepping into the Chen Wangfu, looking at the group of flamboyantly dressed women coming towards him, Dugu City frowned and unconsciously looked up at the nameplate above the gate, wondering if he had taken a wrong turn.

"Ye Xi, who are they"

Ye Xi was too embarrassed to speak. She lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, these are all women bestowed upon you by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

"Get them all out, I don't want to see them again."

Du Gucheng wore a look of disgust. When had so many women appeared in the back garden of his Prince's Mansion He didn't even know.

Over the past five years, his heart had died, but now it was alive. He couldn't allow anyone to defile this home; his Wangfu mistress could only be Feng Lingxi. Everyone else was an outsider.

"My lord, you cannot divorce me. What have I done wrong"

Dugu Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at them, watching as they each wore revealing clothes, as if eager to expose their bodies before him. Their vying for attention and trying to outshine each other truly turned his stomach.

"Ye Xi, handle it."

Having spoken, Duguyan disregarded the cries of the woman behind him and strode into the palace first.

Du Gu Cheng had just changed his clothes when the steward came to report, "My Lord, the palace has just sent a message asking for you to enter the palace."

It came quite fast.

"During my absence from the capital, has anything noteworthy happened in the palace"

After a moment's thought, the steward hurriedly replied, "Nothing has happened in the palace, but the crown prince of the Aohua dynasty arrived. It seems he came two days ago and is here for the matter of marriage alliance."

"Prince Hēng of the imperial family, Prince Qingyun of the Xia Dynasty"

The steward nodded, watching the prince's astonished expression. "Your Highness, this subordinate heard that the crown prince of the Hu Xia dynasty came rushing over after hearing that the princess had returned. It seems like this time, the reason for the betrothal is because of the princess."

"My queen would give him and her family How ridiculous."

Dugu Cheng let out a cold snort, "Who came up with this stupid idea They actually dare to think of such a thing."

The steward looked at the prince, stammering, "Prince, this is the Empress Dowager's wish."

Dugu Cheng's face instantly sank. "When did the Empress Dowager say that Why didn't this King know"

The steward lowered his head, "This matter I just heard about, and haven't yet reported to the King. You have already arrived."

"I understand. You may go now."

獨孤城 frowned, the empress was truly ruthless. He had just returned, and she had already arranged for Xi'er's marriage. Even if she didn't want Xi'er to return to him, she didn't have to drive her away in this way.

Either assassination or marriage to a foreign country, what did the Empress Dowager consider Xi'er to be

Feng Lingxi sneezed, just as she got off the carriage. She felt a chill down her spine and instinctively looked back, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Now, the wife of General Zhen Guo, Lady Zhao, stood at the door to greet Feng Aotian. Seeing Feng Lingxi following behind him, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. How did Feng Lingxi come back again

Wind Ling, seeing Zhao's face, smirked and walked towards her.

"My lady, it's been a long time."

Zhao shi squeezed out a smile, "Chen... Chen Wangfei, how did you come here"

"Madam, I am no longer the Princess Consort of Chen. My marriage to King Chen ended long ago. Please just call me Feng Lingxi."

"You..."

Zhao looked at Feng Lingxi, every smile and frown she made, constantly brought the image of Yao Wan Ying to mind. The overlapping smiles were like a nightmare, causing Zhao's face to pale.

Feng Lingxi looked at the Zhao family's reaction and was a little strange. Even if she came back, she shouldn't be so frightened, right

"Madam, what's wrong with you Xier is back and will be staying at the mansion for a while. Have someone clean up her old courtyard and let her and her children move in." Feng Aotian spoke, then turned to Feng Lingxi, "Your mother's courtyard and your own courtyard have both been kept intact. You can choose whichever you prefer; they've both been renovated."

"I still prefer my old place. I won't bother you further, madam."

Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "This Zhao family's reaction is a bit strange. Even if she hasn't returned for many years, she shouldn't be like she's seen a ghost."

"Wait."

"Why don't you go stay in your mother's courtyard There are people living there, aren't there"

Feng Aotiān's face instantly sank, and he roared, "Who allowed you to arrange someone in Xī'ěr's courtyard Didn't I tell you not to let anyone live in Xī'ěr's courtyard Did you take my words as wind"

"Wind General, please don't get angry. This General's Mansion rightfully belongs to you all. I'm just a visitor here. Since I'm a guest, it doesn't matter where I stay."

Feng Ling Xi's words made Feng Ao Tian even angrier. He had finally gotten Xi Er to accept his kindness, and now Zhao Shi had ruined everything. He was so angry he wanted to slap her twice.

Zhao looked at Feng Aotian, her expression panicked. She stammered, "My lord, I didn't know she would come back. I just thought it was a waste to have it empty. Besides, she's your daughter now too. You can't be so partial, can you"

"Where do I still have a daughter"

Feng Aotian glared at the Zhao clan, "Don't you dare tell me about your useless daughter. Just looking at her makes me angry."

"Yu Xi didn't stay there."

Zhao's eyes were red-rimmed. Because of the incident with Feng Yu Xi, her and her daughter's status in the General's Mansion had plummeted, and they even spoke in hushed tones.

"Who else could it be"

"It's Fengling Yù, isn't it"

Feng Lingxi looked at Zhao, saw her expression stiffen, and raised her eyes to meet Feng Lingxi's firm gaze. She nodded, "She's back."

"Just coincidentally, I haven't seen her in a few years. I didn't expect that this time back home, I would still be able to see her once. It's fate."

"Xier, Lingyu doesn't want to see anyone."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhao spoke up.u Xi is truly capable. I've been investigating the Zhao family this past while, and you won't believe what I found out about her."Dugu Cheng sat opposite Feng Lingxi, wanting to see her curious gaze,...
