until she was less than a meter away from the cliff edge. She lowered her head to peer down, but the abyss below was shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see what lay beneath."Chieftain, I..."A daughter's own affairs are her own to handle, mother need not worry about her daughter."

Since she could speak those words to Feng Aotiān, she had no expectation of her mother helping her. Moreover, these were problems she would face in the future. If Feng Aotiān's three sons didn't want to oppose her, things would be fine. However, if they insisted on making her their enemy, she could only fight them head-on.

Yao Wan'ying looked at Feng Lingxi's determined face, and her guilt towards her deepened by a few points.

"Wan Ying."

Feng Aotien walked over, his eyes falling on Feng Lingxi. His hesitant expression made Feng Lingxi very impatient.

"Mother, after you've finished talking with him, I'll go in."

Feng Aotian saw Feng Lingxi wanting to leave, and hurriedly stopped her. "Lingxi, don't go. Speak clearly in front of your mother. We are all family..."

"Feng Aotiān, who do you think you are to claim kinship with me Do you really think I would still be sentimental enough to help you I thought you were looking for Xī'ěr because you felt guilty about her and wanted to make amends. But I never expected that you'd come looking for her because of those other women's sons. Even if Xī'ěr agreed, I wouldn't!"

Yao Wanting rebuked angrily, Feng Aotian looked at Yao Wanting, his expression displeased.

"Wan Ying, now that I go along with everything you do, can't you at least agree to this It shouldn't be so hard to let those innocent children go, should it"

"Innocent" Feng Lingxi sneered repeatedly, "If they were really innocent, why would you worry that I would kill them all You have time to waste your saliva here, it's better to go back and teach them well, so they don't provoke me. Otherwise, don't blame me."

She now finds his expression repulsive, she can't fathom how her mother could have fallen for him. Such a man, where is there any worth in loving him

Feng Aotian watched Feng Lingxi's departing figure, reaching out to stop her, but Yao Wan'ying stopped him.

"How else do you intend to disgust my daughter"

"Wan Ying, do you think my request is too much as well"

"Are you saying that this request of mine is not excessive" Yao Wan'ying scoffed coldly, "I truly want to know now how I was blind to have fallen for a man like you. Xi'er is my daughter, and since we were wed, have you ever treated her as your own You know the answer in your heart. In the past, when she had a high fever and became ill, you ignored it. I can understand that, but what about now She's recovered, and you are even more cold towards her. Wind Linglong and Feng Yu Xi, even as concubines' daughters, you cherish them dearly. Why is it that you cannot do the same for Xi'er Do you even have the face to ask her for help"

Yao Wan-ying shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment at Feng Aotian's arrogant gaze.

"Back then, I really shouldn't have risked my life to save you. Not only were you useless, but you stayed and caused trouble for my daughter, making her miserable."

Feng Aotian, being accused like this by Yao Wan'ying, didn't feel any guilt whatsoever. He just wanted to preserve the Feng family lineage. Why couldn't they understand him

"Things are over, what's the point of bringing this up"

Feng Aotien's voice also turned cold, "Constantly bringing up old grudges and discussing these trivial matters, is it interesting"

Yao Wan'ying slapped Feng Aotian across the face with her hand, her eyes almost burning with fury.

"Feng Aotian, get out of here."

He actually had the nerve to say such things. She must have been blind, falling for him, and hurting Xi'er because of it.

Feng Aotian looked at the anger in Yao Wan Ying's eyes and roared, "Unreasonable!"

After he finished speaking, she turned and left. Yao WanYing stared at his departing figure, her voice icy cold, “I take back my words from before, Feng Aotian, you better control your children and don't let them touch my bottom line. Otherwise, I won't mind making the Feng family extinct.”

Feng Aotiān's body stiffened at the cold tone. When he turned around, Yao Wan'ying was already far away.

"If Feng Jiangjun had been able to handle domestic affairs well, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen to such a state."

Du Gu Cheng walked towards Feng Aotian against the wind. He had seen everything that just happened. Looking at Xi'er's angry expression, he felt heartache, but he knew better, Xi'er had more disappointment towards her father, Feng Aotian. Since she was young, she couldn't get any warmth from him. No wonder she was so angry.

Feng Aotian saw that Dugu City had arrived and immediately stepped forward, "Fourth Royal Highness, did you see all of that Family matters shouldn't be aired publicly, I embarrassed you."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Aotian's stiff expression, his sword eyebrows raised.

"General Feng, this king has something to remind you. The eldest son was sent by this king to suppress bandits and make a name for himself. Now he serves under the sixth brother. General Feng should know about the relationship between the emperor and the sixth brother. What if there's trouble one day General Feng might lose both his soldiers and his position."

Dugu Cheng finished speaking and patted Feng Aotian's shoulder, "General Feng, this king has said everything. Think it over carefully."

He said everything he shouldn't have. If Feng Aotiantian still can't figure it out, then it's not his fault.

When Dugu Cheng returned to his room, Feng Lingxi was writing a letter. Seeing him, she immediately got up.

"What are you writing"

Just writing whatever, feeling a bit agitated.

Feng Lingxi threw the paper ball into the basket. Duguo Cheng walked over and picked up the discarded paper ball from Feng Lingxi, unfolding it to look at the drawing on it, his brows furrowed slightly.

Xi'er is still thinking about what your father said.

“I just feel sorry for my mother. Seeing her waste her whole life on such a man makes me angry.”

Duguxing pulled Fenglingxi down and sat beside her. "He isn't worth it, why get angry for him Come, this king will tell you something."

"What's up"

Feng Lingxi saw Dugu City take out a piece of paper, looking at the content on it, Feng Lingxi's face gradually became solemn.

"What do you think now Do you want to bring down the Empress Dowager"

Du Gu Cheng frowned slightly, "Du Gu Xiu colluding with the traitors of Yao Clan, even if you have the upper hand on Tai Hou's side, you may not be able to carry out your plan completely. The small countries here are restless. Without Gallo Kingdom, there are other small countries. Ben Wang and the court's relationship has also spread. If they intend to invade, Lin Xi County will be in great danger."

He was gone, having breached Linxi County. The border of the Yuan Dynasty had been breached, and he would face the dilemma of having to return to battle. Leaving Xi'er behind, he would absolutely not agree to it.

"Otherwise, why not ask Huangfu Qingyun for help"

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Actually, she really didn't want to ask Huangfu Qingyun for help. She owed him and hadn't paid him back yet. She really couldn't bring herself to ask him."

If Dugu City were any different, he wouldn't be so troubled.

"Xier, let's think about this some more. I don't want to put Huofengyun through this again. He's already done so much for us."

Feng Lingxi hummed softly, her brow furrowed. If she used explosives to attack the city, the border countries would undoubtedly cause a stir. At that time, explosives would also become weapons coveted by all nations. Feng Lingxi hesitated.face changed slightly, hesitating."Your Majesty, since the Divine Physician is willing to offer an antidote, he will surely cure you."Dugu Cheng opened his mouth, looked at Li Wuyan, his eyes firm."No...
