m live and go back." Dugu Cheng angrily hissed, "Those beasts, they truly deserve to die.""There will be another time. Let's take Third Sister back first, she's exhausted too."Feng Lingxi glanced at F..."Seeing that you're not saying anything, it seems like you don't even know yourself."

Feng Siyu frowned, it seemed he still had to investigate thoroughly.

"Luoli is the head of the Yao tribe, your mother is the Saint Lord of the Yao tribe. Do you know that"

Feng Siyu raised an eyebrow, her small face showing no sign of backing down. “What Are you trying to tell me that my mother is his subordinate and can’t comment on his status”

You know quite a bit.

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Si Yu's disdain in his eyes, and his heart was not feeling well.

When Xi'er left, he truly didn't know that she was pregnant. He had always been unable to conceive a child. Who could have predicted such a coincidence, that she would become pregnant after his plan was executed

"I naturally understand, there's no way around it. Children from single-parent families grow up fast, someone like you wouldn't understand." Feng Siyu's tone was laced with dissatisfaction towards Du Gucheng. He knew so much because of him.

Du Gu Cheng's expression stiffened, before he could speak, Feng Si Yu glanced at Lu Nian who was not far away, "I'm done asking questions, I'll take my leave now."

I asked and asked, but couldn't get to the bottom of it. It might be better to ask my uncle as he probably knows more.

Dugu Cheng watched Feng Siyu's back, wanting to say something, but he found himself not knowing how to start.

This child is really different from Feng Siqi, one can speak, the other refuses to.

"Finished asking"

Lu Nian looked at Feng Siyu, looking at Feng Siyu with a sullen face, "What's the matter with this expression, did he do something to you"

"Don't you see he's not happy You still ask."

Feng Siqi nervously tugged at Lu Nian's sleeve, her face betraying her guilt. She was a mess of anxiety right now.

"Brother, when we go back later, don't tell Mother about this, okay I really came here to get treatment."

Feng Siyu gave her a glance. "I wouldn't bother telling Mother on you, besides, you've been acting up all the time. Doesn't she know"

Feng Siqi pouted and muttered under her breath, "Who would say such things about their own younger sister"

Lu Nian looked at Feng Siyu, then glanced back at Dugu City. She really found it strange. This Siyu had something on his mind. How could such a young child have worries

"Come on, didn't my sister say she was looking for me"

That is my mother.

"You're not allowed to steal Mother from me," Feng Siqi retorted angrily.

“It’s my sister, and I’m not going to steal Mom from you.” Lu Nian said, quickening her pace. Feng Siqi hurried after her, “Cousin, you can’t steal Mom from me.”

Feng Siyu slowly followed, remaining silent the entire way. His small face was as serious as an adult's.

"Ye Xi, escort them back safely. It's getting dark."

Dugu City spoke, Ye Xi glanced at the surroundings, "Your Highness, you should return to your room and rest first. I will be back after finishing my business."

獨孤城應聲，先行回到房間，不到一會兒就看見一個人敲門進來。

"My lord."

Luo Qin'yi paid a visit to Dugu City, specially wearing a sheer dress tonight. Taking advantage of the hot weather, she believed that over these five years, she couldn't have failed to move the king's heart at all.

Dugu Cheng glanced at Luo Qin'yi, his eyes turning cold.

"Luo Qin'yi, are you challenging this king's bottom line"

"My Lord"

Lo Qin'yi called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, wanting to step forward. Dugu Cheng raised his hand, and a gust of wind swept across, sending Lo Qin'yi flying backwards. She landed on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her lips. She stared at him in disbelief.

"My Lord, are you now so dismissive of Yiyin"

Dugu Cheng coldly looked at Luo Qin'yi. Even though her clothes were thin as cicada wings, his eyes couldn't bear her presence.

"Pack your things and return to Tiangxiang Building at once. This King no longer requires you by his side."

"Your Highness..."

"This is my last warning, don't challenge my limits again. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back My patience has its limits. You want to seize someone else's nest, forget about it for the rest of your life."

Luo Qin'yi, upon hearing this from Dugu Cheng, felt despair grip her heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she struggled to breathe through the overwhelming sadness.

This is her master, indeed heartless.

Amongst all people, he was only tender towards Feng Lingxi. To other women, his heart was colder than ice.

She devoted five years of her youth to him. When Feng Lingxi returned, she was nothing.

Luo Qin'yi climbed up from the ground, tidying her clothes. Her injured eyes looked at Dugu Cheng. He didn't even give her a proper look. His cold and ruthless appearance seemed to send her back to when she first entered Tianxiang Building.

"There are many offenses from my subordinates, please forgive me, Your Highness. I will go back and accept my punishment." Luo Qin'yi wiped the blood from her lips, her eyes instantly becoming sinister. A warning voice came from behind her, "Luo Qin'yi, this king hopes you remember the oath you made when you came to his side."

"As follows."

"Go."

When Dugu Cheng heard the footsteps retreating behind him, he turned back, his brow furrowed.

Follow her, and do not allow her to harm my children.

In the darkness, a figure followed soundlessly.

Luo Qin'yi walked out of the courtyard, reaching up to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She really couldn't believe it. Over these five years, her master had been so ruthless. She had given so much, yet her master was still so cold and unfeeling.

"Feng Lingxi, you despicable wretch!"

Lu Qin'yi gritted her teeth, since she had disappeared for five years, why did she have to come back.

She would never let that happen, she would never allow it.

Feng Lingxi sneezed. The hot weather, with no wind, was stifling and unbearable. There was no respite even in the courtyard.

"Sister, I'm back."

"Mother, your little Siqi is back."

Feng Siqi ran towards him, throwing herself into Feng Lingxi's arms. Feng Lingxi, who was already hot, became even hotter when she hugged him.

"Have you come back"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, her tone laced with a hint of vinegar. Feng Siqi hugged her mother's neck and coquettishly said, "Mother, what people did was to treat illnesses in the past, you are not unaware of it, isn't this something you agreed to yourself"

"Where is Wan'er Why didn't she come back with you"

"My sister has already gone back. She had something to do."

Feng Siqi didn't tell her mother that her older sister had suddenly left in a bad mood.

Feng Lingxi thought of Wan'er's temperament, but with Su Yue following her, Wan'er always did as she pleased, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Sister, did you call me for something important"

Lu Nian hurriedly asked, he was really busy, later at three in the morning he still had to find Dugu City. Thinking about it, his errand running was truly not easy.

The worst part is that they don't live together, so he has to run back and forth.

"I want to take a trip to the capital. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it."

"To the capital"

Lu Nian was dumbfounded, looking at Feng Lingxi nodding, swallowed her saliva, "You mean the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty"

"Well, there's something I need to investigate, but as you know, the Empress Dowager and Prince Chen are in the capital now. I don't want to see them, so I thought perhaps you could accompany me."o clan, as long as she wasn't caught, the Yao clan would be in danger for another day, and the princess even more so."Where are the medicinal herbs I bought Bring them to my room. Don't let Dugu City...
