them, how about it""Say."Luo Li almost gritted her teeth as she replied, gazing at her beautiful face and understanding what it meant to be betrayed by the most venomous heart. And he, for some reaso...Feng Lingxi glanced at him, "It seems that the Prince is determined to win. Are you so sure I will fall in love with him"

Dugu Cheng smiled, "This king is certain, this king will definitely fall in love with you."

After finishing his words, Dugucheng didn't care about her expression. He burst into laughter. Feng Lingxi looked at him and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is truly a jester."

"Xier doesn't believe"

Feng Lingxi spoke in a low voice, "I just want to say, Your Highness has the mind to talk about love right now, but I don't. I still advise Your Highness, it's best not to waste your feelings on me."

"If I don't try, how would Xi'er know if she wouldn't be moved Matters of the heart aren't something one can control. It's just like my fate with Xi'er."

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "Saying anything won't change my mind."

Dugu Cheng let out a light sigh, "Xi'er is nothing more than still holding a grudge against this king for pretending to have amnesia and hurting you. This king knows, this king also knows he was wrong, I'll make amends, Xi'er can just pretend that nothing happened"

Feng Lingxi looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Could Lord Wang pretend that our marriage never happened"

If she is able, she can naturally do it as well.

Dugu Cheng was speechless at her words, looking into the seriousness in her eyes, he said after a long silence, "Xi'er, how can we pretend this never happened This king is not a man who shirks responsibility."

"I don't care, why should the prince care"

This was the first time she had ever seen a man so determined to take responsibility for a woman. If she had known he would pester her about taking responsibility, she would have rather died again.

"Xier, we've arrived at the General's Mansion."

獨孤城 didn't want to continue the conversation, so he quickly changed the subject. He didn't want to talk and say his woman out of existence.

Feng Lingxi dismounted her carriage and entered the General's Mansion. Seeing her arrival, the house servants and maids curtsied respectfully.

"Xier, you're back."

Feng Aotian came hearing the sound, smiling as he approached and bowed to Dugu City, "Subject greets Fourth Prince."

"Your Majesty is too kind, today Your Highness accompanies me back to visit my parents. There's no need for formalities."

At the sound of Dugu City's call to "father," Feng Aotian couldn't help but smile. He immediately invited them to sit in the front hall and have some tea.

"Go and bring the Madam here, just say that the Fourth Princess has returned."

Feng Aotian finished giving his orders, then looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of worry.

"Xier, Father heard you were attacked a few days ago. Where were you hurt Was the assassin caught"

Hearing her father's concern, Feng Lingxi was stunned for a moment. Looking into his worried eyes, he really did resemble a loving father. If she hadn't known his attitude before, she would have been touched by him right now.

"Don't worry, Father. I'm just some skin injuries, they're almost healed now. The only thing is that the perpetrator hasn't been caught, he got away."

Du Gu Cheng said to Feng Ling Xi, looking at her expression, he knew she was very dissatisfied with Feng Ao Tian's attitude, but she was only bearing it for her stepmother's sake.

Feng Aotian let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s fine then. Father has been worried sick these past few days. Your mother hasn’t been eating well or sleeping well, she’s already lost quite a few pounds. She also has to take care of the backyard affairs, which has really worn her out.”

Feng Lingxi heard a hint of something unusual. It seemed that emotions were at play, and she was trying to take the steward's authority from her mother. She also wondered how this Liu Mamá was helping out.

How is my mother now

Feng Aotiān sighed, "Father has been watching her these days, she's lost a circle just from being tired. He feels sorry for her running the household and worries about your health. Several times he wanted to go to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion to see how your injuries were doing, luckily nothing serious happened."

"Father, please rest assured. Xi'er knows her own body well. Mother has just recovered from a serious illness, so her body is naturally weak. Taking over the household affairs is hard work, and it's natural that she feels tired. I will find a few people to help her later so that mother doesn't have to work so hard."

Feng Aotien's face flickered, looking at Feng Lingxi's calm gaze in her eyes, he forced out a smile.

"Now that you've married into the Fourth Prince's Manor, these people coming here... are on the side of the Fourth Prince..."

"This King has no objections. My mother-in-law isn't feeling well, Xi'er is tending to her, and this King cares for Xi'er. Just a few people, of course there's no problem."

Dugu Cheng's words caused Feng Aotian's smile to become increasingly stiff, he could only force a smile and nod.

Then, thank you, my Lord.

"We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, "Go back and tell Liu Ma to help out more, so that your stepmother won't be burdened."

As she was speaking, Zhang Shi arrived with Liu Mama. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly stood up and walked towards Zhang Shi.

"Xier, you're finally here. Let me have a look, where are you hurt"

Zhang Shi pulled Feng Ling Xi aside for a quick check. Feng Ling Xi looked at her concern and felt a warmth in her heart. She took her hand and said, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"I have seen the Princess."

Grandmother Liu curtsied, Feng Ling responded with a sound, and looked at Grandmother Liu's fearful eyes, "Grandmother Liu, you've worked hard these past few days. This princess will remember everything you've done."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best to relieve your worries."

Feng Lingxi responded, and Liu Ma retreated to the side. This showed respect to Feng Lingxi, allowing her as the princess to have some dignity here.

"Xier, tell mother, where did that assassin hurt you Let mother have a look."

Zhang shi pulled Feng Lingxi, very uneasy. Her anxious eyes made Feng Lingxi's heart ache. She comforted her, "Mother, that assassin only scratched a wound on Xi'er's back, and it has already scabbed over now. Mother, don't worry, take care of yourself."

Zhang's eyes fell on the back of her hand, full of tenderness.

"Do you know who sent the assassin"

"I don't know, his martial arts are not bad. If he hadn't been caught off guard, my daughter would have been at a disadvantage this time."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at Feng Aotian.

"Father, if you have time, perhaps you could teach Xier some boxing and kicking for self-defense."

Feng Aotian looked at Dugu City and said with a smile, "With the prince by your side, you don't need father to teach you those fist and foot techniques. Moreover, even if you learned those superficial things, it wouldn't be of much use."

"My father-in-law is right, fist and foot techniques can't save you. Only I can protect you."

Dugu City wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, he hurried to let Feng Lingxi know his abilities.

But Feng Lingxi was not touched, instead she gave him a cold look. "Can the King accompany me day and night There will always be times when we are separated. If an assassin takes advantage of this, it is natural to have some self-defense skills."

"Let me teach you a few tricks that can save your life. See how"

Feng Lingxi looked at the seriousness in his eyes, she truly didn't know if he really didn't understand.

She asked her father to teach her, just wanting to see how he treated her as his daughter.

Self-defense skills, she wasn't lacking.

"Since the Royal Lord has spoken, then Xi'er will first thank the Royal Lord for his kindness."

Du Gu Cheng's eyes were filled with tenderness. Zhang Shi watched their interaction and felt deeply comforted. As long as Xi Er could be happy, she would be content.

"By the way, isn't the wedding between elder sister and the prince coming up soon"She didn't want to make more enemies; she already had enough. She only wanted to calm the Yao Clan situation and ensure her own safety.Hearing Xi'er's words, Dugu Cheng only then realized that the pea...
