The Concubine's Unruly Wife: My Wife is Too Dominant Chapter 14: I'm Not Afraid to Have Your Child

"What's up?"

Feng Lingxi heard that he wasn't here to bother her, and she let out a breath of relief. She already had enough on her plate and didn't want to get involved with him.

"Rest assured, I promise, I will absolutely not let them know about us."

As soon as Dugu City finished speaking, he felt a gaze that could shred him to pieces.

"Spit it out. Whatever you want to ask, ask it and get out."

"I want to ask you what's going on. You scared me so much, I couldn't even think straight for a moment."

Dugu City patted his head, looking thoughtful. The next second, a leg swept across, and Dugu City flashed aside, dodging her attack. He patted his chest, looking shocked, "Don't be angry, I was just thinking."

"Make up your mind and get out now."

Feng Lingxi roared, if anyone saw him in her room, all her efforts would be for nothing.

Du Gu Cheng hurriedly assured him, "I'll remember it soon. My journey here was not easy, traversing mountains and ridges. It's almost dark..."

"Ask when taking the antidote."

Feng Lingxi opened the window and saw the figure outside. She hurriedly closed the window and walked in front of Dugu Cheng, grabbing his arm, "Quickly hide."

"Hiding for what? I haven't even..."

"Be quiet, my mother is coming."

Feng Lingxi warned, "If you don't want to die, just shut your mouth and hide."

独孤城 looking at her fierce eyes, found it increasingly interesting. Who was he, Du Gu Cheng? When had he been scorned by a woman like this? Looking at her nervous appearance, he hurriedly cooperated and asked, "Where are you hiding?"

Feng Lingxi looked around the room and pointed to under the bed. "Go in," she said.

Dugu Cheng pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief, "You made me hide under the bed..."

Before she could finish her words, Feng Lingxi pressed his head and urged, "Go in quickly, my mother is coming. If she finds you here, you're dead."

Dugu Cheng turned back and smiled at her, "Are you worried about me?"

"Get in, or I'll kill you right now."

Feng Lingxi suddenly drew her dagger and held it to his neck. Her eyes were cold, and Dugu City's smile froze. He hurriedly moved her dagger away. "I'll go in, don't move your knife."

This temper is too harsh, this meeting just forced him, the one who suffered was clearly him, how come in the end, she seems to be the wronged one.

In the darkness, Ye Xi covered her eyes again. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the man hiding under the bed, threatened by a woman, was the god of war who struck fear into the hearts of millions on the battlefield.

Just as I hid Dugu City, Xiao Li's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, your wife is here to see you."

Feng Ling hurriedly straightened her clothes and checked herself over, making sure everything was in order. She rushed out just as Xiao Li helped Zhang Shi enter.

"Mother, how did you come here?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled gently and said, “Xiao Li said you would be coming later to see me. Since I've been taking medicine these past few days and my body has recovered considerably, I thought I'd come over and see you myself so you wouldn't have to run back and forth.”

Feng Ling quickly helped her mother sit down and told Xiao Li to pour some water.

"Mother, why are you here? Didn't Grandma come with you?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and gently patted her hand, “Mother knows what you’re worried about. I left them all in the courtyard. Xiao Li is with me, so they won’t say anything. Mother just came to take a look. Today’s events, Xiao Li has already told Mother.”

Feng Ling's eyes swept over Xiao Li, who immediately lowered her head, looking terrified.

"Don't blame Xiaoli either, your mother also knows about the dowry incident yesterday. Today your father is back, Xi'er, I'm sorry you had to suffer this."

Zhang held her daughter down and sighed, “Your father came looking for me. He scolded your mother and said you were disobedient. He even threatened that he wouldn't allow you to marry the Fourth Prince. Xier, listen to your mother, don't even think about defying the imperial decree. Your father is a high-ranking official in the court. If you defy the emperor's will, the entire Feng family of one hundred and twenty people will be implicated.”

"Mother, did Father send you here to persuade me?"

Zhang Shi looked at her daughter's slightly cold expression, held her hand, and softly persuaded, "Xi'er, we women should think about the overall situation and not be capricious."

Feng Lingxi heard that it was for the sake of the overall situation, and she became furious. "Mother, if it's for the sake of the overall situation, then Second Aunt has been living in the mansion as the mistress of General Fu, Father calls her Madam, and you endure it?"

Zhang Shi gave a bitter smile. “Mother is frail, and you are her only daughter. Although Liu Shi is a concubine, she has given your father two daughters, and the eldest son of the General’s Mansion also came from her womb. What can Mother say?”

"Mother, when you married Father, were you also frail? Was it truly that you couldn't bear a son or was there another reason? Have you ever thought about it?"

Zhang held her hand and advised, “Xier, a woman should be magnanimous. Stay at home to tend your husband and raise children…”

"Mother, I don't want to hear this."

Feng Lingxi felt a sense of revulsion towards these words. She was told to live like her, which was simply impossible.

"Xier…"

Zhang still wanted to say something, but seeing her anger, she sighed.

"Alright, mother won't say anything more."

"I'll take care of my own affairs, Mother, you don't need to worry about it."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Xiaoli, "Send your mother back."

Xiao Li hurriedly helped Zhang Shi, "Madam, please."

Zhang glanced at her and left her room.

Dugu Cheng came out from under the bed, looked at Feng Ling Xi who was radiating coldness all over her body, walked to her side and sat down, pouring her a glass of water. "Your maid is not very reliable, you need to find a loyal maid."

Feng Ling Xi raised her head. Dugu Cheng put down the water glass that was at his lips, looked at her icy gaze, and offered her the glass, “Drink some water to cool off.”

"Come out if you can, or get out if you can't." She was in a bad mood now and didn't want to speak to him.

独孤城 hurriedly said, “I remember now, I came here to ask you, since you know you’re marrying the Fourth Prince as a widow, why are you still marrying him?”

"Is this about you?"

Wind Lingxi countered, "What?" Dugu Cheng pointed to the top of his head. "Green."

He thought she would refuse his marriage proposal, knowing she was marrying a 'dead man' and facing imminent death. Unexpectedly, she agreed, and instead of being devastated by the prospect of marrying a dead man, she used this opportunity to amass wealth, leaving him utterly baffled.

"Don't forget what you promised me, I cured your poison, now we're even."

Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly. He really put on his clothes and forgot about everything. At least they were husband and wife for a night, how could she be so calm and collected? He couldn't get over that night, but she didn't seem to care at all.

"Aren't you afraid of getting pregnant with my child?"

I've already taken the contraceptive, so even if I get pregnant by accident, I'll handle it cleanly.

Feng Lingxi's ruthlessness made Dugu Cheng feel a tightness in his chest. This woman was truly merciless. How could she be so heartless? She was taking a life, wasn't she supposed to feel guilty?
