ow, seeing the panic in her eyes. "I just want to see what's on your mind. You seem off.""Where is it wrong"Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, "Was she that obvious""I feel like you're lying. You obviously...When Liu heard Feng Lingxi's words, her eyes were flustered. What was Feng Lingxi trying to say

"Xier, what are you trying to say Your second aunt has been working tirelessly for this family ever since your mother fell ill. Is this how you speak to her"

Feng Aotien didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he sternly rebuked.

Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Father, it's Second Madam, not Second Aunt. Besides, what does it have to do with me that she diligently manages this household Before I fell ill, my life was even worse than that of the maids here. If Liu Shi truly managed a household well, how could she treat me like this I am the only legitimate daughter of General's Mansion. Is she following your orders"

Feng Aotien's face grew increasingly gloomy, watching her insist on this matter, he was quite annoyed.

"You were ill before, you had food and clothing, what are you dissatisfied with Could it be that because you are a legitimate daughter, you should be pampered"

Feng Aotian's words made Feng Lingxi's eyes colder. Even at this point, her father still showed no remorse, not even a pretense. It was incredibly disappointing. She had thought that since she married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion and recovered from her illness, he would treat her mother better. It seemed she was utterly wrong.

In his eyes, only Liu Shi could be worthy of him. Only Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu were his daughters.

"Since father has said so, Xi'er has nothing to say."

Feng Lingxi swept a cold glance over Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu, “Although both of you are about to marry into the Duke's manor, you haven’t yet. It is disrespectful to insult this Princess. Out of sisterly affection, both of you will kneel here until tomorrow sunrise.”

Feng Ling Xi's words enraged Feng Ao Tian completely. He pointed at her, angrily questioning, "What do you mean They are your sisters..."

"To shame this Princess, shouldn't there be punishment General Feng, don't forget, they shamed the Fourth Princess, not your foolish fourth daughter."

Dugu Cheng saw her anger, clenched the cup in his hand with force, and it shattered. Feng Aotien was shocked by Dugu Cheng's actions. He saw Dugu Cheng stand up and coldly scan Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu kneeling on the ground, and said lightly, "General Feng, do you think your two daughters can insult this princess' beloved at will"

Feng Aotiān's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please calm your anger. I dare not."

"Dare you" Dugu City glared coldly at Feng Aotian, "General Feng condoned his two daughters bullying this King's beloved concubine, witnessed by this King himself. Could it be that General Feng thinks this King is blind"

Feng Aotian hurriedly knelt down, "Fourth Prince, forgive me, I was wrong."

"General Feng, what have you done wrong This King sees that General Feng is quite infatuated with the concubine, favoring her over his wife. He shows no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children."

When Liu heard what Dugu City said, she hurriedly cried and said, "Fourth Prince, you are wronging the general..."

"Wronged This King saw it with his own eyes. This King's mother-in-law is the legitimate wife of the Feng family, yet she is here without even a maid to serve her. This King's beloved consort is the only legitimate daughter of the Feng family, yet she is treated worse than these two illegitimate daughters. You dare say that this King has wronged General Feng"

"When Liu was spoken to like this by Dugu City, she immediately burst into tears. "Your Majesty, please calm down, my lady…"

"You have no right to call yourself my wife, you are merely General Feng's concubine, a lowly maidservant. What right do you have to speak before me"

Liu's face turned as white as a sheet, and Feng Lingxi was also stunned by what Dugucheng had said. She thought he wasn't going to interfere, but when he did, his words were truly impressive. His eloquence could shame even enemies on the battlefield into surrendering.

Dugu Cheng said that Liu was sobbing softly, Feng Aotien wanted to speak but stopped. Dugu Cheng gave him a cold glance, "General Feng, you've followed this king for many years, you should know this king's temper, once this king decides something, there is no room for regret. Xi'er is the woman this king insists on taking into the palace, once she marries into the palace, no one is allowed to bully her, not even you."

Feng Aotien's face became even more unsightly. "I understand," he said.

"General Feng, this King reminds you, the Emperor is very pleased with Lady Xi'er as his daughter-in-law. She is your only legitimate daughter, so if you insist on favoring concubines over wives and this reaches the Emperor's ears, General Feng should think carefully."

As soon as Duguo City spoke, Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes flashing with surprise. Could it be that Xi'er had actually pleased the Emperor

"Xi'er, go in and greet your mother-in-law. If she is willing, this king will bring her to the palace to live with you."

Feng Aotian's face changed drastically upon hearing Dugu Cheng's words. He hurriedly spoke, "Fourth Prince, this absolutely cannot be done! If you bring Lady Xi to the Fourth Prince's residence, once it gets out, where will I put my face"

"Now you're thinking about saving face Isn't it a bit late"

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort. Feng Aotien hurriedly apologized, "Xier, it's all father's fault. Give father a chance to make amends. Father guarantees he will treat your mother well."

"Kindness"

Feng Lingxi looked at Liu Shi and the Feng Linglong sisters kneeling beside him, a chill in her eyes, "Won't you wait for me to leave before pushing my mother to death"

"Xi'er, what are you saying Father wouldn't make a mistake."

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, "I don't believe you."

Feng Lingxi walked towards the room and saw Zhang Shi coming out from inside. Zhang Shi had heard everything that happened inside, hearing Xier arguing with her and their family. She felt truly guilty towards Xier.

"Mother, how did you get out"

Feng Aotian saw Zhang Shi come out and immediately got up to walk over. "Madam, please plead with Xi'er for me. You can't leave the General's Residence with her. If you leave, where will I put my face"

Zhang looked at him, her expression unreadable.

"General, now you remember to save face Back then when you ignored me and sent me to the remote courtyard, didn't you ever think about how ashamed you looked"

"My lady, you…"

Feng Aotian didn't expect her to refute his words. She had always been meek, so how did she become so sharp-tongued now

"If it weren't for Xi'er, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now."

Zhang's words made Feng Aotiān's face even worse. "Madam, I have never thought of divorcing you. How can you say that"

"There is no need for you to divorce me. If it weren't for Xi’er treating me these past few days, I'm afraid I would have gone to the underworld by now. General, you wouldn't even have a chance to speak to me."

"What do you mean by that, Madam"

Feng Aotien was truly puzzled, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Xi'er, I didn't mean to divorce you, nor did I want to harm her."

Feng Lingxi's eyes swept over Liu shi kneeling on the ground, and she said coldly, "Just because you don't have [children], doesn't mean there aren't any in this household. Father hasn't always said that Mother couldn't give birth to sons and daughters for you It's not that she can't, it's that someone forbids it."dn't possibly guarantee he would definitely win against Du Gu Yu."Wind Lingxi frowned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like it was true."Let's just assume Dugu Xiu fixed it, then what...
