me obediently. Mother will go and see him."Seeing her mother leave, Feng Lingxi hurriedly instructed Xiaoli, “Quickly follow after her and make sure to hear the entire conversation between your mothe...Feng Lingxi took some silver to the pharmacy and picked up some medicine. She bought some necessities and came back. Ten taels of silver was really too little for her, she bought some things and it was gone, her mother's poison, this silver was completely not enough.

After dinner, Feng Lingxi returned to her own courtyard. She made the medicine into pills and put them in a box. Then, she took lotus seed soup and went to her mother Zhang's courtyard.

"Mother, this lotus seed soup was made by Xi'er with her own hands. Please try it."

Zhang looked at Zhang Mama who was standing beside her, "You all go down, let Xi'er accompany me for a while."

Grandma Zhang glanced at Feng Lingxi and left with a nod.

Windling, seeing that only her and her mother were left in the room, took out the pills she had prepared and handed them to her mother. "Mother, these are the pills I made for you. Please take three after each meal – breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't drink the medicine Second Aunt prepared for you; just pour it all away."

"Xi'er, when will you be able to make pills"

Zhang's face was full of surprise. Feng Lingxi swept her gaze over the dark figures outside the door and lowered her voice, "Mother, walls have ears. You shouldn't ask too much. Xi'er will explain to you later. Remember, don't drink any more medicine Liu gave you."

Zhang quickly put the pills away, “Mother remembers.”

Feng Lingxi held up the lotus seed soup, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Mother, please try this lotus seed soup I made for you with my own hands."

Zhang Shi nodded excitedly, her heart swelling with anticipation. She couldn't remember how long she had been waiting for this moment. Looking at Xi'er's smile, tears welled up in Zhang Shi's eyes.

After finishing the lotus seed soup, Feng Lingxi tidied up and raised her voice, "Mother, it's getting late. You should rest early. Xi'er will go back first."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and called out to the outside, "Zhang Mama, see off Fourth Miss."

Grandmother Zhang hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, "Fourth Miss, please."

Feng Lingxi walked out of the courtyard and suddenly stopped, turning to look at Zhang Mama. "Zhang Mama, I remember you were my mother's person, right"

Grandmother Zhang's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly replied, "Fourth Miss, this old servant was the madam's dowry maid, naturally a person belonging to the madam."

Windling placed a hand on her shoulder, "Take good care of my mother."

Having walked a distance away, Xiao Li asked with confusion, “Fourth Miss, what did you just mean to Grandma”

"It's nothing, Xiaoli. Go get me some hot water, I'll be bathing in a while."

After a whole day of struggling, she was truly exhausted, and there was still an injury on the back of her head that couldn't be discovered.

"Miss, I will first send you back and then go prepare hot water…"

"No, I can go back myself. You go prepare some hot water."

Even Xiao Li wouldn't want her to know about her injuries. After all, the intoxicating events of last night meant the fewer people who knew, the safer she was.

Back in the courtyard, as soon as she pushed open the door, Feng Lingxi was grabbed by someone and pressed against the door, receiving a slam.

"You..."

That man quickly covered her mouth, his eyes were fierce, and his handsome features made Luo Yi's eyes widen. Wasn't this the man who had overpowered her in the tree house last night How did he find her so quickly

"Miss Feng Si, you're really something."

The arrival was none other than Dugu City. Hearing Ye Xi say that Feng Lingxi had regained her sanity, Dugu City thought of what she had done to him last night. Dugu City wanted to meet this woman who dared to overpower him.

Facing his angry gaze, Feng Lingxi raised her foot and kicked him, pushing him away with all her might.

"You..."

Dugu City bent over, and unexpectedly got kicked by her. The pain was so excruciating that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'm giving you a chance to live. Take it while I haven't called for help, and get out of here."

It wasn't that he remembered her appearance, was he coming to her door asking her to take responsibility Wasn't it common for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines If you were talking about last night, how could she possibly be the one at a loss

Du Gucheng walked to her bedside and sat down, "Then you scream, just so they can see that the people in General's Mansion know that Miss Feng Si of yours was forcefully taken by me last night and you want to silence it."

"You..."

Feng Ling Xi strode forward, grabbed his collar, and glared at him fiercely, "You threatened me"

Du Gu Cheng looked at the anger in her eyes, his hand swept across her waist, quickly pressing her down, forcing her onto the bed, leaning over her. "Everyone says Feng family's fourth miss is foolish and naive, I didn't expect them to be blind."

"Begin!"

Feng Lingxi struggled, but he was held by both hands, unable to break free.

"You weren't very good last night, were you Tonight's my turn, isn't it"

Dugu Cheng leaned down, Feng Lingxi opened her eyes wide, and her foot quickly moved toward his back, trying to sneak attack him. However, she was caught by Dugu Cheng. He raised his foot and pressed her foot under his own, the two of them in an extremely ambiguous pose.

"Let me go."

"You're injured, behave and let me take advantage of you."

Dugu City repeated the words she had said last night, foolish Miss Si. With this tigress's demeanor, still foolish, such a wind-ling Xi, actually deceived everyone in the capital.

"Get out of here, or I'll kill you."

Feng Lingxi glared at him, the wound on the back of her head throbbing from the forceful impact. If this continued, she was going to be exposed.

"Then I'd like to see what you're capable of." Dugu Cheng leaned forward, and Feng Ling Xi suddenly pushed forward with force. Dugu Cheng let go of her in pain, and Feng Ling Xi also hit her head because of the push, her head throbbing painfully and feeling dizzy.

"You crazy woman."

To dare to hit his head, last night's humiliation was yet to be avenged, and now she had bumped his forehead red. If this were to reach the barracks, where would his dignity be

Wind Ling's head was spinning, and her vision blurred as she looked at Du Gucheng. "I saved your life last night. I don't owe you anything."

After finishing his words, Feng Ling's head spun, and he felt a weakness in his body. He slumped onto the bed.

"Hey, don't play dead..."

Dugu Cheng pulled her arm, his eyes catching sight of the blood on the sheets. He hurried forward to check and saw the bloodstain on the back of her head. His expression was complicated, "Are you hurt"

Feng Lingxi pushed him away, weakly shouting, "Get out of here."

Dugu Cheng was about to step forward when he heard footsteps at the door. He said in a low voice, "Crazy woman, I'll settle with you later."

Having finished speaking, he left through the window.

"Miss, it's time for a bath."

Xiaoli carried water in, Feng Lingxi called out, "Xiaoli, I'm tired, let's bathe tomorrow morning. You go to rest."

Xiao Li put down the water, watched as Miss covered herself with the quilt, closed the door and left.

Feng Lingxi, listening to the silence, could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Feng Lingxi was woken up by the noise outside her door. She got up and saw the bandage on the back of her head. Her face changed color immediately. She hurriedly removed the bandage, treated her wound, and then went out.

"Xiaoli, what's wrong"

Xiao Li cried red eyes walked over, “Miss…”

Feng Ling xi frowned, looking at the tears in her eye corner, "Speak."

"The Emperor just issued an edict, marrying you off to the War God, the Fourth Prince. But the Fourth Prince died in battle a few days ago."

"To die in battle... does that mean I have to marry a dead man"

Xiao Li hurried up and covered her mouth, "Miss, the Fourth Prince died for his country. You're just going to be a widow if you marry him."ety."“Whether it’s me or my mother who is captured, as long as the fragments are not complete, we both have a chance to survive. But if they are given one person, it means giving them the opportunity...
