ss Consort, please."To my knowledge, the Third Prince was banished to Liangzhou by the former emperor. I don't know why he has only just returned after all this timeDugu Yu's smile remained, and he sa...Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. Such a stupid question, she had to cooperate with him. This Lu Nian was just bored.

"That's such a boring way to ask. Why would you ask it like that He wouldn't even know what to do. Just act surprised, like when we found out this morning that you were in the room with him..."

Lu Nian's words were cut short by a loud smack. Feng Lingxi glared angrily at him, "Lu Nian, don't you want to live anymore" She knew it! Why did he keep going around in circles with her and bringing up what happened this morning Enough was enough.

"Let me clarify, that was all a misunderstanding."

As soon as Feng Lingxi finished speaking, the light on the table next to them turned on.

"Have you heard The Princess Consort of Chen struck the Prince of Chen! I heard they were playing all morning until dawn, and even had the Prince's guards catch them in the act. It was so exciting!"

"I never would have guessed that the Crown Princess would be so bold."

"You don't know, back then it was the Crown Princess who made the first move. I heard it myself, back then the Crown Princess was a victim." The air was thick with gossip, Feng Lingxi's face grew increasingly dark, her clenched fists visibly strained.

This damn rumor, how did it spread throughout the capital city

"Little sister, don't be angry. They are all talking nonsense. Don't get excited."

Lu Nian hurriedly soothed Feng Ling Xi, fearing she would rush over to fight with the people at the next table.

"Who spread this message"

Feng Ling stared at Lu Nian, her eyes almost blazing with fire. Lu Nian swallowed nervously, "I swear on the three of them, it wasn't me."

"I swear to your future mother-in-law, it wasn't me."

"Me too." Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi hurriedly agreed with Wan'er. Looking at their mother's fiery eyes, they quickly picked up some water and took a big gulp. Lu Nian suddenly realized, "It must be Yexi, he was the first to know about this."

"Yes, it's Yexi."

Wan'er agreed, Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi nodded vigorously, shifting the blame with impressive speed.

Following Dugu City's Ye Xi, he sneezed and rubbed his nose. He always felt a murderous aura behind him, as if he had been plotted against.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing."

Feng Lingxi reminded again, "I've said this is a misunderstanding. You keep talking about it, and I guarantee you'll feel the cruelty of the world."

"Mother, seeing is not always believing. So, did you and Father ever actually kiss"

Feng Siqi asked softly, her chubby little face full of confusion, "Brother said Ye Xi saw it with her own eyes, so this isn't true. Then what is true"

“...”

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, "He coughed so badly last night, I took care of him, and then I was exhausted. I rested in his room, nothing happened between us, just this morning when I got up, I tripped and fell, just the way Yexi saw it."

Heaven and earth bear witness, she truly did nothing to Dugu City.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath. She had to prove her innocence, she wasn't that kind of person.

"This is too coincidental, how did they just happen to kiss"

Lu Nian muttered to herself, suddenly feeling a chill down her neck. She swallowed nervously and raised her eyes, forcing out a smile, "I, I was just saying, nothing else meant."

To say nothing is to be guilty.

The atmosphere at the dinner table had visibly changed. Feng Lingxi stared intently at Lu Nian. A table nearby was still excitedly discussing her gossip, saying she was audacious and forced Dugu City, and that she regretted coming back this time and wanted to return to Dugu City's side, unwilling to give up the position of Chen Wangfei.

A table full of delicious food was laid out before her, but Feng Lingxi had absolutely no appetite.

"Guess what, will Prince Chen and Crown Princess Chen get back together"

"That's hard to say. I heard that the princess consort isn't short of men around her. Who knows if this time the princess consort is just playing with the prince"

"This King Chen is truly pitiful. Alas, his Chen Queen is so domineering, and with her family's powerful influence, he's likely to be brought down by the Chen Queen."

With a bang, the wine and dishes on the table were shaken to the ground. Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, stood up, and walked over to the next table, "Are you guys done yet"

"Who are you"

The person at the next table looked at Feng Lingxi and was stunned by the coldness in her eyes. They swallowed nervously.

"Wind, surge forth!"

"Princess Consort of the Chen Dynasty"

A few people at the next table hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we were just joking. Please don't take it to heart." Saying that, they hurriedly gestured to the other people, wanting to escape quickly.

"Wait a moment."

Feng Lingxi called out to them, "What you just said is all false, don't spread rumors. I haven't..."

"Understood, the lowly one knows his mistake. Whatever the Chen Wangfei says goes. The lowly one will take his leave."

Seeing their fleeing figures, Feng Lingxi's anger reached its peak. How could these people not even give her a chance to explain

These people are really interesting.

Lu Nian walked up to Feng Ling Xi and pulled her down to sit.

"Didn't you say that a mouth that grows on someone else, how they speak is their business, why do you take it to heart."

As soon as Lu Nian finished speaking, Feng Siqi softly said, “Of course she’s acting guilty.”

"Siqi."

Wan'er tugged on her sister's sleeve, Little fool, what nonsense are you talking about

It was really infuriating to see my mother angry. She's such a pain.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, returned to her seat, and said, "Forget it, let's eat."

"Mother, are you not angry anymore"

Feng Siyu whispered, seeing his mother glance at him, he hurriedly explained, "Mother, Siyu is just concerned about you, asking."

"What's the use of getting angry Things have already spread like this. You can't hide fire under a bushel, rumors are terrifying, and this isn't the first time."

Why did she have to argue about this Even if she really did something to Dugou City, what did it have to do with them

When Feng Lingxi thought this way, her heart felt much lighter.

"Mother, you should eat more of this."

Waner quickly served her mother dishes and winked at Siqi. Siqi immediately helped serve the dishes, afraid of angering her mother.

After the meal, Feng Lingxi was truly stuffed. Due to her anger, she had overeaten and now, back at the mansion, her stomach was painfully bloated. She just wanted some relief.

Du Gucheng returned to Lu Mansion from Ci'an Palace. He was in a bad mood all the way. Ye Xi wanted to ask several times but couldn't get the words out. When he returned to Lu Mansion, Du Gucheng went back to his own courtyard and didn't go out.

"My Queen."

Ye Xi came to find Feng Ling Xi despite the risk of being scolded by the King. Seeing the Princess hanging upside down in the courtyard, he rushed forward, “Your Highness, this subordinate has finally found you.”

"What's wrong, is your prince feeling unwell again"

Feng Lingxi didn't get up, lazily asked, the feeling of being full is really uncomfortable, no wonder so many people don't like being fat.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager summoned the King this day. After he left the palace, he's been quite glum and in low spirits. I suggest you go see him."

Feng Lingxi turned over and stood before Ye Xi.lked towards Dugu City."Dugu City."Feng Lingxi let out a cry, and both Dugu Cheng and the woman in red turned their heads to look at her. Feng Lingxi's pair of slender phoenix eyes were sparkling like...
