to the cliff edge to pick a few ginseng plants. The ginseng wasn't very big, but since Xi'er wanted them, he would naturally pick some for her."Get the ginseng and go back."Feng Lingxi nodded. She had...Upon hearing Feng Lingxi's words, Dugu Cheng frowned, his handsome brows creased. It seemed she truly held a deep grudge.

"Does Your Highness have any better suggestions" Feng Lingxi asked. Du Gucheng hurriedly said, "How could that be This King thinks Xi'er's arrangements are very good. It's just that I don't know what General Feng thinks"

Feng Aotian, upon hearing their couple's words, dared not complain any further. Xi’er had already been very displeased with him. If he were to defy her at this time, she might become even more resentful of him. However, if he didn't try to help Lingyu, he would truly be finished for life.

"My lord, Lingyu is our daughter after all. Please help her."

Liu rushed in, crying and begging. Feng Aotiān looked at Feng Lingyu who was wailing outside, his heart not feeling good either.

"What does she mean"

"At the very least, let her marry into a wealthy family that can provide for her, even as a concubine, it's better than staying with this servant."

Liu's words made Dugu City's face turn unpleasant, "Since the second miss wants to marry a wealthy family, then this king will fulfill her wish. This matter will be arranged by Xi'er."

Feng Lingxi heard that Dugu Cheng had given her the marriage to Feng Lingyu, her brows furrowed. He really didn't want to make things easy for her.

Leaving Feng Lingyu's marriage to her, considering Feng Lingyu's personality, she wouldn't want just a wealthy and handsome man. She also wants someone with abilities and skills

"My lord, I think it's best to let father handle this. Father knows best what kind of husband Second Sister is looking for."

Feng Aotien was about to speak when he heard Dugu Cheng wave his hand. "Since Xi'er doesn't want to interfere, why don't I decide The eldest son of a wealthy merchant in the capital, I have a good relationship with him. Why don't we let the second miss marry him as a concubine She can live a life of luxury and wealth for the rest of her life."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu hurriedly bowed and thanked the prince, "Many thanks to Your Highness for overlooking past grievances and helping Lingyu find a good match. My humble wife expresses her gratitude to Your Highness for facilitating their union."

Dugu Cheng watched Liu's face break into a smile and reminded, "This king will give him a word in a while, pick an auspicious day to send the second miss over there. I hope she takes care of herself."

"Thank you, Lord."

After Liu expressed her immense gratitude, she hurried outside to tell Feng Lingyu the good news.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, unexpectedly he was quite kind, arranging a rich merchant's son for her. It seemed that Feng Lingyu was pretty lucky.

"Xier, do you want to go and see your maternal grandmother Everyone has returned."

Dugu Cheng asked, Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotien, "Father, why didn't mother come out to greet me today, how is she doing"

"Your mother fainted suddenly yesterday. I called a doctor to see her, who said she's weak and shouldn't walk around too much. So I'm keeping her in the courtyard to recover."

Feng Lingxi heard the three words "weak body," her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Impossible, her mother's body was all she had taken care of, how could she be weak If she ate her medicine, how could this happen

"My lord, you talk with father, I go to see mother."

Dugu Cheng responded, looking at the confusion in her eyes, and said to Feng Aotiān.

"Mother, even though this king has helped the second miss find a wealthy merchant's eldest son as a concubine, you also understand that there are not just one or two concubines in a wealthy merchant's family. All this king can do is ask him to take better care of the second miss."

Wind Aotian heard this, his face turned pale and red several times. "Your Highness is too kind. Lingyu did such a scandalous thing, it's all because her father failed to educate her properly. I made Your Highness embarrassed, and Your Highness could still arrange things so well for her. I am deeply grateful. As for how she will live as a concubine in the future, that's all up to her."

"Duke City glanced at the house slave on the ground, “This servant of mine must have done something wrong. This king originally wanted to marry him to the second miss as his wife. Although it would be a humble life, there wouldn't be the backstabbing and schemes of being someone else's concubine. It's just that the second miss looked down on him.”

Feng Aotian glanced at the ragged figure of the servant on the ground, and sighed, "The path she chose is her own. I hope Your Highness will make him keep his mouth shut, and consider this never happened."

Dugu City responded, instructing Ye Xi, "Take him down and deduct half a year's salary. Send him to work in the stables."

"Yes."

Ye Xi hurriedly grabbed the servant and left, and Feng Aotian's face finally looked a bit better.

It's not that Lingyu was powerful and he couldn't be held accountable, but it’s just hard to say who is at fault. After all, one must consider the master when dealing with a dog, let alone a servant belonging to the Fourth Prince.

Feng Ling Xi came to her mother's courtyard, hearing the sound of coughs from afar. She frowned and walked in, seeing her mother sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. Her pale complexion made Feng Ling Xi's brow furrow, and she quickly walked over.

"Mother, what's wrong with you"

When Zhang shi saw her arrival, she coughed even harder. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly helped her with a back pat to get her breath back. Once she was able to catch her breath, Feng Ling Xi immediately took her pulse. This pulse, however, turned Feng Ling Xi's face pale.

"Mother, what have you eaten these days"

"I haven't eaten anything, but for some reason, I have a really bad cough."

Zhang panted, clutching her chest, "My cough is terrible. It hurts so much here."

"How has your mother's diet been these past few days"

Zhang shi thought for a moment, “Mother’s meals are very good. Since the Fourth Wangye and you returned to your parents’ home, your father has been very good to Mother. The food they give me is also excellent, with three meals a day and plenty of pastries……”

Feng Lingxi walked into the room, looked at the pastries inside, picked one up and sniffed it at her nose, then walked out, "Mother, are these pastries sent by Father"

“This was given to me by your second aunt. It's osmanthus cake, which your mother likes.”

Zhang looked at her, her face grave, and curiously at the pastry in her hand.

"Xier, what's wrong with this pastry"

Feng Lingxi placed the pastries before her, "Besides these pastries, Second Aunt also sent you some other food"

"Congee, lotus seed soup, everything you can think of. Your second aunt said to let me eat more and replenish my body so I can get better soon..."

"Mother!"

Feng Lingxi interrupted her, looking at her pale face. "Xi'er asked you, has your father come to see you"

Zhang nodded, "A few days ago, your father was mostly here. I thought that since my health is better now, there might be a chance for me to conceive a child. Now it seems... cough, cough..."

Feng Lingxi grabbed her fingers and pulled out a silver needle from her hair, pricking her fingertip and letting her bleed.

"Mother, you were actually sold and even helped the people count the money."

I originally thought this original owner's mother wasn't someone to be trifled with, but now it seems I was wrong.

She couldn't even see through such a simple conspiracy. Poison was put into her body, all to ensure she wouldn't have any descendants. The Liu family was truly ruthless. She hadn't even settled accounts with them yet, but they reached out to her mother instead. It seemed she really didn't want to stay in the General's Mansion anymore.

"Xier, do you mean Liu shi wants to harm me"

Wind Ling Xi was looking at her mother's expression of realization, just about to warn her, when she saw Wind Ling Long carrying a bowl of chicken soup enter. Seeing her there too, Wind Ling Long smiled and stepped forward, "Mother, my mother asked me to bring you some chicken soup. Xi'er is here too, let's drink it together."n't you think this is interesting It's so happy to be able to eat hot meals on a snowy day.""You make a good point, it seems I should also ask the shopkeeper for advice."Feng Lingxi, watching Luo Li's...
