out that Dugu Cheng had gone out of the city early in the morning to attend to business and wasn't at the City Lord's Mansion at all. She wanted to ask him, but she was afraid she would have to wait u...Luo Li looked at Li Wu Yan meaningfully, and corrected him, "It wasn't me, but Emperor Yuan Zhao."

"If Emperor Yuan Zhao punished them, wouldn't you worry about Wan'er being implicated"

"If they can be brought down so easily, why are we going through all this trouble"

Li Wuyan didn't speak. This Dugu City was indeed difficult to read. With his influence, he could have easily seized the throne, rendering Dugu Xiu and Dugu Su irrelevant. Emperor Yuan Zhao had not disappointed the people either. Could it be that he was truly content being the King of Chen

In this desolate and impoverished place in Xincun County, is Lord Dugu truly willing to reside here

“Who knows what Du Gucheng is thinking I’m afraid we can’t really guess.”

Li Wuyan looked at Luoli, his expression slightly dark. "I know you care more about that girl Wan'er, but there are some things you still need to understand. She is the daughter of Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng after all. You also know the purpose the elders kept her for."

"I know what you're saying. Since the elder cares so much about Wan'er, if we can gain her favor, then it would be like dealing with the elders."

Luo Li's lips curled into a faint smile, her eyes gleaming with an enigmatic and mischievous glint.

"We are pawns to them, why can't they be pawns to us"

Luo Li spoke, her eyes narrowed as she walked into the Chen Wang Mansion.

"Your Highness, the Chief of the Luo Clan has arrived."

Xiao Li saw Luo Li's figure from afar, and hurriedly tugged at Feng Ling Xi's sleeve. Feng Ling Xi turned her head to look, and Luo Li had already entered the mansion, together with Li Wu Yan. They did not come with Feng Yu Xi.

Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward. Luo Li saw Feng Lingxi coming to meet her, and smiled faintly. The displeasure she had felt when leaving was gone, replaced by the usual kind and gentle smile, making her appear much warmer.

"Chief."

"They've already started eating, looks like I'm late."

Feng Lingxi smiled and gestured to him with her hand, "How could I Haven't I even started eating yet If the Clan Leader doesn't mind, why don't we eat together"

This unexpected return must have a reason. Feng Ling now only wants to know if his purpose here is good or bad, after all, the people of this place are present, and this feast is being held. If he takes action, it will surely disrupt the banquet. Although she has her own thoughts, for now, she can only smile along and see what he intends.

Of course, but let Wan'er and I go together.

Okay.

Feng Lingxi asked Xiao Li to bring Wan'er over and personally led Luoli into the room to start the banquet.

"The Crown Princess is truly becoming more composed now. I was worried you might be upset to see me, considering I left in a huff."

Feng Lingxi smiled, her eyes showing no displeasure at all.

"Whoever says that the tribal leader doesn't have good manners, Besides, it is my honor that you came to celebrate Wan'er's birthday today, especially since you are also her master. I have given this teahouse to Wan'er, so what is there to be dissatisfied with about having a meal"

Luo Li listened to Feng Ling Xi's words, it was really comfortable.

"Having known you for so long, you sound like a young lady today. Every word you say is so pleasant to hear."

"Does the chieftain think I didn't act like a woman before"

Feng Lingxi still kept her smile, her attitude was amiable.

What do you think

Feng Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"You're right, I used to have a bit of a temper and probably offended some people along the way. The Chief's words are a good reminder, and I will definitely be more mindful in the future. Thank you for your advice."

"Princess Consort, besides the banquet, are there other foods in your manor"

Luolí suddenly asked, Fēng Língxī looked puzzled, not knowing what he meant.

"Chieftain, wouldn't you want to join the feast"

"Anything fancy or showy"

Luo Li implied very clearly, he wanted to see if Feng Ling Xi would be willing to give it to him.

That's a dessert that Xiaomi made for Wan'er, a cake.

Feng Ling opened her mouth, it seemed that Luo Li knew, and she didn't want to hide it from her.

If this were eaten at night, if Luo Li wanted to eat it, it wouldn't be too much to give him a portion. Since the rice is already cooked, now that she's been found out, she might as well share this cake and make up some story to get past it.

"That sounds interesting, I naturally have to stay and try some."

Luo Li entered and sat down, watching Xiao Li bring Wan'er over. Seeing Luo Li, Wan'er pouted, clearly displeased.

"Well, seeing your master makes you this unhappy"

"Humph!"

Wan'er's voice was quite loud this time, and her tsundere eyes made Luoli raise an eyebrow. She hugged Wan'er in her arms, "Tomorrow I happen to have some time, I can take you out for a walk, don't you want a pet Want to go catch a rabbit"

"No, I want a dog."

"Why"

Luo Li looked at Wan'er, her eyes filled with confusion. "Is this dog cuter than a rabbit"

Wan'er stared at Luo Li's serious eyes and said earnestly, "Dogs bite people, but rabbits don't."

"Do you want the dog to bite me"

Waner stared at Luoli, her eyes and expression clearly showed her disapproval. Luoli frowned, this performance today seemed to have truly made Waner unhappy, she was too vengeful.

"Okay, I'll bring you the suitable one I found."

Then, Wan'er's expression looked a little better.

"Chief, Wan'er is just like that. You shouldn't take it to heart. Once her temper passes, it'll be fine."

As soon as Feng Ling uttered her words, Wan'er spoke up.

"Mother, it is your fault for not disciplining him properly and the master's idleness that he has not taught me well. He should be blamed, not I."

Hearing Wan'er's dissatisfied complaints, Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. She looked at Xiao Li beside her, "Who taught her the Three Character Classic"

Xiao Li shook her head like a tambourine, her brows furrowed. How could he possibly be blamed for this

"It was taught to me by Uncle Yixuan. He said Wan'er should become someone who reads the Four Books and Five Classics."

Feng Lingxi coughed twice, looking at Luoli.

"Wan'er will be the future leader of the Yao clan, so she naturally needs to be well-educated. When you have free time, please teach her more."

"Aren't you afraid I'll corrupt her"

Luo Li heard Jiao Wan'er, and for some reason, he thought of the time in the Ghost Saint Kingdom. He always felt that Wan'er was not easy to teach.

"I believe the Chieftain will teach Wan'er well, right, Wan'er"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly looked at her daughter. Seeing Wan'er nod, she felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders.

Luo Li wasn't really keen on having Wan'er as his apprentice, was he Now that it couldn't be avoided, and since he wouldn't harm her, he might as well let her teach Wan'er. This child, sooner or later, would have to be both skilled in literature and martial arts. Only then could she safeguard her own life.

Feng Lingxi thought in the long term, but she firmly believed that her own views were correct.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, are you believing that I would do harm to Wan'er"

Feng Lingxi smiled and said, "This is natural. The clan leader is Wan'er's master, so how could he harm her Besides, Wan'er and you get along very well. You can teach her, which also eases my worries a lot. If she can really be educated and become successful, the elders will surely be happy."he face of Pingbei's Princess turned stiff all of a sudden. With this statement from Shutai, she couldn't even scold Feng Lingxi anymore."Empress Dowager, it's Tai Chong Xier."Shutai smiled, watching...
