Liu."Du Gucheng shouted, and Liu Mama hurried forward, showing the utmost respect."If you require manpower, feel free to send someone to the palace to inform me. This king's wet nurse is also at your..."Father, are you perhaps feeling justified now"

Feng Ling Xi coldly swept past Liu Shi, who was tugging at her sleeve. "Not to mention that I am now the Fourth Princess Consort, even as your daughter, you shouldn't be home when visiting your married daughter. Or is it that Father thinks my marriage to the Fourth Prince holds no prospects and doesn't want me anymore"

Feng Aotien's face turned pale as he listened to her words.

This marriage was his agreement. Back then, because she was foolish, the Fourth Prince died in battle, and he felt that marrying her off was enough. He didn't expect her to recover, and now that she can speak eloquently, she's become so sharp-tongued and domineering.

Now, the Fourth Prince is only missing and his life or death is unknown. If he returns, then this Fourth Princess would rise in power.

"Xier, it's all my fault. Don't mention your father, he just worries about my health. If you're unhappy, I'll make amends to you. It's all my fault. Tell me how to make it up to you, and I'll do it."

"Little Butterfly, don't tell her these things, it has nothing to do with you."

Feng Aotien looked at his concubine speaking so humbly for him, his face filled with compassion.

At a glance, Feng Lingxi met his gaze. As he glanced at Zhang Shi who remained silent on the side, disgust flashed in his eyes.

"This is the good daughter you brought into the world. Does she even resemble a daughter should"

Hearing her husband speak to her in this manner, Zhang shi's already pale face grew even paler.

Wind Lingxi seeing the situation, coldly reminded, “Father’s meaning is that I, as his daughter, am wrong, isn’t it”

"Alright, now all of you quiet down."

Mrs. Zhang pulled Feng Lingxi, "Lingxi, apologize to your father, after all, he is your father."

Feng Lingxi coldly swept her gaze over Feng Aotiān, looking at his arrogant appearance now, anger surged within her. This was the attitude the original owner's father had towards her.

"Mother, you should tell me, what did Xi'er do wrong Why must I apologize to him Otherwise, my father and I will go to the government office and demand an explanation. We need to know who is right and who is wrong."

"Xier!"

Zhang hastily pulled her aside and whispered, "Don't make a fuss out of this. If this gets to the Fourth Prince's manor, how will you ever establish yourself there in the future"

"Mother, do not worry. Before I came, Mother Empress specially instructed me to remember my identity as the Fourth Princess, and not to lose face."

"My Lady, the Dowager Queen treats our Queen with great fondness, like a precious jewel. This time when she came back, she specifically instructed me to take good care of you and not let you suffer any grievance." Xiaoli hurriedly served tea, the Dowager Queen was very pleased with their new Queen since she married two days ago and naturally couldn't be wronged upon her return.

Feng Aotien heard Xiaoli's words and looked at Feng Lingxi's cold and arrogant expression. No wonder she was so arrogant. It turned out that she had gained the favor of the old princess in Si Wangfu.

"Well, since we're back home, let's not talk about useless things anymore."

Zhang shi tugged at Feng Lingxi's clothes, motioning for her to step down.

"Father, you two chat first. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare lunch. Since Xi'er is returning home, we naturally have to make good preparations and let her other siblings celebrate with her."

Liu finished speaking and left, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Zhang coughed a few times. Feng Lingxi saw this and grabbed her hand to feel her pulse, her brow furrowed tightly.

"Mother, have you been taking any supplements these days"

Zhang froze, looking at Xi'er's solemn expression, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the bird's nest and ginseng chicken soup that your second aunt made for mother What's wrong"

"Aren't you aware, mother, that he won't accept anything"

Feng Lingxi angrily scolded her, "You don't even care for your own body, are you trying to drive me crazy"

Feng Aotien saw Feng Ling, his anger rising. He looked at the Zhang family and asked, “What’s going on here”

"Master, I'm fine..."

"Why are you so calm You haven't taken in anything, yet now that you've eaten so many medicinal tonics, your body is brimming with energy. If it isn't released..."

Feng Ling Xi looked at her father, “Father, I'm afraid you have forgotten about your wife It’s been so long since you accompanied her”

Feng Aotien, when told this by Feng Lingxi, frowned. He had indeed not kept his original wife company upon his return this time. Now that his daughter said it like this, he felt rather embarrassed.

"Alright, Father understands what you mean. Rest assured, these days Father will be with your mother. No more talking about it."

Feng Aotians tone softened a bit. Thinking about her current status and position, she was the legitimate daughter after all. In the future, when the Fourth Prince returned, there was a chance she could ascend to the position of Empress. After all, the Fourth Prince was the most favored heir apparent by everyone in the court.

Although the crown prince has been enthroned, he ultimately doesn't have the deep love of the people that the Fourth Prince does.

Feng Lingxi, seeing her own goal achieved, didn't want to confront him too much. After all, she came back this time just to settle things for her mother. Once settled, she would put aside other matters and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Father, what you say must count. Now that I've married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I'll have less time with Mother. Father, please treat Mother kindly, and Xi'er will also treat her siblings well."

"Father knows that since you have time, you should find suitable husbands for your elder sisters. There are still several princes who are unmarried, and the position of the crown prince's consort is also vacant. Think of a way to see if you can get your eldest sister into the crown prince's mansion."

"Father, are you planning to have all your daughters marry into the royal family"

Speaking of Feng Linglong, Feng Lingxi thought of the day she kept saying that she was going to marry the crown prince and wanted to be the crown princess, the future empress. Now it seems that this is her father's intention.

"It's your elder sisters' wishes, but Father would rather they marry suitable candidates. Being a royal wife isn't easy."

Feng Aotien's voice was full of helplessness, but this also made Feng Lingxi understand that in her father's eyes, all the elder sisters had the right to choose who they married. Only she had no choice at all.

"Father is right, being a royal wife is indeed not easy. It's better to let the older sisters marry those Houmen generals."

Zhang watched them chatting and made tea, pouring it for them.

Your elder sister is set on marrying a prince, your second sister wants to marry a royal as well, and your third sister desires the same. None of them are willing to marry a wealthy commoner. Your father is helpless about it.

"Father is so fond of my three elder sisters, it makes Xi'er envious. Thinking about Xi'er's marriage, wasn't it also bestowed by the Emperor and agreed upon by Father It's unlike my sisters who are this happy and considerate of Xi'er's feelings."

"Xi'er, why are you here again Back when the Emperor arranged this marriage, Father had no idea you were already well. And the Emperor insisted on giving you to him, how could Father refuse" Feng Aoti sighed. "You are Father's only legitimate daughter. Even though you were ill before, Father still wanted you to be happy. Father thought that with you being sick, marrying into the Fourth Prince's Manor and waiting for the Fourth Prince to return would be a good choice. The Emperor would also take special care of you and wouldn't let you suffer. Father had thought about it."

Hearing his words of 'good intentions', Feng Lingxi smiled.

"In that case, it seems Xier misunderstood her father." and down. Seeing that she was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."Xier, this king just returned, bathed and dressed, to come find my mother-in-law to ask a few questions."Yao Wan Ying looked...
