ld make her tell him how to contact the Yao Clan, she wouldn't be worthy of being a member of the Yao Clan.Xiaoli returned to her room. Thinking back on what Huangfu Qingyun had just asked her, her he...The guard's reaction left Chang Ming stunned for a moment, unable to recover. Even Feng Lingxi was taken aback by the guard's shout. Before she could regain her composure, a flurry of footsteps sounded. Lady Lu rushed towards her, grabbing her arms and staring at her intently for several minutes before releasing her.

"It's really Xi'er, it's really Xi'er."

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and her words tumbled out incoherently. Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, but before he could speak, Mrs. Lu pushed him aside.

"Xier, come in quickly."

"Lu Fu-ren, it's been a long time."

Feng Lingxi greeted her, looking at Lu Fu's unusually excited expression, she couldn't help but chuckle. This Lu Fu really treated her as her own biological daughter, which also made Feng Lingxi feel cared for and remembered.

"Xiaofeng, so you're the eldest Miss of the Lu family"

Chang Ming was stunned for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

Feng Lingxi nodded, before she could finish her words, she was pulled into the mansion by Lady Lu, who laughed incessantly.

"Madam Lu, they are all my friends, Tao Su and Chang Ming."

Feng Lingxi pointed at Tao Su and Chang Ming who were left aside to dry. Lu Fu-ren hurriedly told Lu Hao, "Please take good care of these two honored guests. I'll have a word with Feng Linger."

Lu Hao looked at Tao Su and Changming, smiling and greeting them.

"My wife has not seen Xi'er for a long time, I apologize for this oversight."

"Lord Lu, you're joking. We're all happy for Little Feng to have such a wonderful wife."

Tao Su knew that Lu's wife was not Feng Ling Xi's biological mother, so he addressed her as Feng Ling Xi.

Lu Hao nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"It's good to be back, but you just called her Xiaofeng. Is that what she wants you to call her"

Lu Hao had a good impression of Tao Su. Since Xi'er could befriend him, the person must not be bad.

"Well, I only learned her true identity yesterday."

Tao Su's words touched Lu Hao's heart. He let out a soft sigh and motioned to Tao Su, "Come in and talk."

"Master Lu, please."

Tao Su's behavior was elegant and she knew the rules well, which Lu Hao liked very much. He was also polite to Tao Su.

"Xier, come sit down quickly, let me take a good look at you."

After Lu Fu-ren had Madam Feng Ling Xi sit down, she scrutinized her from head to toe. Seeing that she was sitting perfectly before her, undamaged, Lu Fu-ren's eyes instantly reddened and became moist.

"You foolish child, since you came to Xi Gu Guo, why didn't you come to find me Do you think I am not your real mother, so you ignore me Do you know how worried I have been for you these past five years"

Mrs. Lu's reproachful tone was laced with grievance, leaving Feng Lingxi feeling guilty.

"Madam Lu, I'm so sorry. At the time, I didn't want anyone to know my situation and I worried you."

"You still know I'd worry about you, my child. With such a big thing happening, why didn't you come to me For these five years, how have you been Where have you been Why wouldn't you ask me for help"

Lady Lu felt remorseful. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's slender figure, she said, "You've become even thinner than five years ago."

"My wife, I haven't lost weight, and my body is even better than before."

Feng Lingxi held onto Lady Lu's hand. Being cared for and remembered like this warmed her heart. After she disappeared, although she hid herself away, she never heard of her biological mother looking for her. Lady Lu, though not her birth mother, showed her more care and worry than a real mother ever could.

Although she's lost some weight, her lips are still red and teeth white, which puts my mind at ease much. That handsome young master is surely Xier's sweetheart

Feng Lingxi was stunned. Lu's wife pointed to Tao Su who was talking with Lu Hao in the distance.

"As for that young master."

"Madam, this is Tao Su, a friend of mine. We've only known each other for a few days."

As expected, elders will suspect a close relationship between young people when they see the opposite sex around them.

"It's alright, since you're a friend. If you like it, there'll be plenty of time in the future."

"Madam, this time I came to you because I actually want to ask for your help."

Wind Lingxi went straight to the point, unwilling to let Madam Lu misunderstand. She told her about Tao Su's matter. Looking at Madam Lu's serious expression, Wind Lingxi had no idea what she would do. She didn't know if Madam Lu would help her. If Madam Lu ignored this matter, then Tao Su could only leave this place of trouble.

"You put it that way, and I remember now. There was indeed something like this a year ago. According to your father, no, Lu Hao, the county magistrate was killed at the time and it was said to be the work of highway robbers. I'm not too clear on how it was handled. Since there is injustice involved, this matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly."

Lady Lu's attitude greatly excited Feng Lingxi, who hurriedly thanked her.

"Thank you, madam. I thank you on behalf of Tao Su and the villagers."

Feng Lingxi repeatedly expressed her gratitude, and with that look of appreciation in her eyes, Mrs. Lu smiled.

"You, child, you're so willing to fight for others, but what about yourself What are your thoughts"

"I'm doing well now."

Feng Lingxi's joy gradually disappeared from her face, replaced by a serious expression. "These years have been good. I found a master who took good care of me. He taught me medicine, which has improved significantly, and I also learned some martial arts for self-defense."

"Then, since you're going down the mountain now, don't tell me it's to help Tao Su"

Mrs. Lu knew that meddling in these matters would bring back Feng Lingxi's past sorrows, but five years had passed. Some things, no matter what, had to be spoken out and couldn't be kept hidden in her heart. So many people were worried about her, she had to come out.

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, there was no escaping the problems that always needed to be faced.

How could she ignore Lady Lu's concern

"This time going down the mountain, I mainly wanted to go back and see Wan'er. In two years, she will be going to the Yao Clan to serve as clan leader. I want to go back and see her, and take the opportunity to return to the Yao Clan and continue my duties as Saint Master."

"The Lord has nothing good. If you're willing, stay at the Lu family, and I'll take care of you."

Wind Ling xi shakes her head, thanks to Madam Lu's kindness.

"Thank you, madam. But I think I can handle this myself. Please don't worry. I have let go of the past. The reason I didn't come out for these five years is that I wanted to be left alone. It has nothing to do with feelings."

Mrs. Lu sighed, when it came to matters of the heart, Mrs. Lu would get upset.

"You foolish child, you suffered so much for him back then, and now that you're back, you don't even hold a grudge against him."

"A person has the right to choose their own life, and Duguo City is no different. Since he chose another woman, why should I stay by his side unwillingly I'm happy now, and for the rest of my life, I want to live my own life."

Mrs. Lu glanced at Tao Su in the distance, "To stand up for him just after knowing him for a few days, if this person is truly worthy, it wouldn't hurt to take him in. A woman of the Lu family doesn't have to live a life of compromise."

Feng Lingxi smiled at Lu's implication, accommodatingly. She had never felt wronged in her life, she just wouldn't accept new relationships, let alone someone like Tao Su, who wasn't her type. always followed the principle of primogeniture, favoring the eldest son born to his main consort. But do you truly believe the Emperor would choose your son as crown prince”"Why wouldn't he You are t...
