Chapter 104: Fighting on the Bed (68)
city is already abuzz, the Empress will be giving the Fourth Prince a concubine. Even though Xi'er is the legitimate wife, she can't do anything about this. If the Fourth Prince develops feelings for...Nanny Liu hurried forward, looking at her respectfully and explaining, "Your Highness, it was the Young Master who ordered me to follow your Highnesses."
獨孤城
What did he have Liu Mamasan do with her Could it be that even in the General's Mansion, she was worried about being assassinated Even if someone were to assassinate her, having Liu Mamasan follow her wouldn't help.
"Your Highness, Liu's illness is not serious. She only wants to use this as an opportunity to regain control of the steward."
Grandma Liu spoke first. Feng Lingxi glanced at her, thinking that Duke Dugu had sent her here to deal with this Madam Liu
“I know, after what father said, I understood.”
"Grandma Liu's eyes widened in surprise, “So the Princess already knew about this. It seems my arrival here has served no purpose. This servant will take her leave.”
Feng Lingxi watched her about to leave and called out to her.
"Grandmother Liu, please wait."
"Grandmother Liu turned and looked respectfully at her, "Your Highness, what else is there to command"
You've been at the General's Mansion for days now, tell me about my mother.
"Truthfully"
Feng Lingxi swept a cold glance over, and Liu Mammy hurriedly said, "The general has never stayed at Madam's place. After Mrs. Liu lost the authority of the stewardess, she pretended to be sick to call the general over. The general still wanted Madam to hand over the authority of the stewardess, but because the maidservants were present, he didn't say it explicitly."
"And what else" Mama Liu had just said it, and now she was even more certain about her father's intentions.
Also, there is the situation with the third concubine. Mrs. Liu fell ill, so the general stayed overnight at the third concubine's place. The next day, the third young lady was beaten by the second young lady, who accused her of being unclean and stealing her things, even scratching the third young lady's face.
"Could there be such a thing"
I've met her a few times and spoken to her. Of the three sisters, I liked this youngest sister the best, but I never expected that the other two would be eyeing her too.
How is Third Sister doing How bad are her injuries
"I heard that the nail was scratched and bleeding."
Wind Ling Xi heard this, her steps stopped, "Let's go take a look."
"Your Highness, aren't you going to Second Aunt's place"
Xiao Li hurried to catch up with her. Feng Ling Xi said coldly, “My third sister is quite kind to me. Let’s go take a look. If this woman has scars on her face and her beauty is ruined, how will she ever get married in the future”
This Wind Spirit Jade is truly ruthless. She's capable of doing such things. Why would a woman make it so hard for another woman
Feng Lingxi came to Feng Yu Xi's residence. Her and her courtyard were not doing well, she was just a concubine's daughter, and the third aunt disliked vying for favor. She just wanted to stay in the General's Mansion peacefully, and she never wanted to make a scene on weekdays. Feng Yu Xi was the same, the two of them could be considered the two most humble people in the General's Mansion.
Even so, Liu shi did not let them off. Now that the head of the household's power had fallen into Zhang shi's hands, Liu shi no longer had someone to bully, so she naturally vented her anger onto the third concubine Zhao shi.
"Third Madam, the Fourth Princess has arrived."
When Zhao shi heard that Feng Ling xi had arrived on a blustery, rainy evening, she was very surprised and quickly got up to greet him.
Wind Lingxi walked in and saw Feng Yu Xi and Zhao Shi come to greet her, kneeling down. She hurriedly helped them up.
"Third Aunt, Third Sister, there's no need to bow."
Zhao looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with apprehension. "Fourth Royal Highness, how did you come to this lowly concubine's place"
Feng Ling Xi glanced at Feng Yu Xi, seeing the bloodstain on her right cheek. She pulled her down to sit.
"Third sister, let me see the wound on your face."
Feng Yu Xi hurriedly covered her face and dodged her eyes, "Thank you, Fourth Princess, for your concern. My face is fine."
Wind Ling Xi took her hand away, “Let me see.”
Feng Yu looked at her from the wind and rain, seeing her earnestly checking his face, her eyes slightly red.
Wind Lingxi checked her over and, seeing her red-rimmed eyes, comforted her, "Fortunately, the wound isn't very deep. Later, I'll have someone bring medicine over for you. When the time comes, take it as I say, and it won't leave a scar."
"Will it really not leave a scar"
Zhao's agitated question, Feng Lingxi nodded, tears welled up.
"Yu Xi, quickly apologize to the Fourth Princess."
The Zhao family, pulling their daughter along, hastily knelt down and thanked Feng Lingxi for her help.
Feng Lingxi helped them up. "Third aunt, Third sister, you don't have to be so polite. Third sister has always been kind to me, and I'd naturally help out where I can."
Wind and rain rushed towards her, revealing a smile. "Thank you, Fourth Princess," she said.
"Third Sister, why did Second Sister have to hurt your face You two weren't always arguing, were you"
"It was all my fault. I shouldn't have let the General stay overnight that day, angering Second Sister. That's why Yu Xi suffered."
“Mother, this is not your fault at all. Who your father stays with isn't up to you to decide. Besides, you are also a concubine and you have given birth to a son for your father. Why can’t he stay here They are just being too unreasonable.”
Feng Yu Xi angrily said, covering her face.
"If my daughter's face could be scarred to ensure the well-being of father and mother, she would consider her life worthwhile."
"What nonsense are you talking about."
"If you ruin your looks, you're finished for life! I'm old now, what can I do You are my only hope, child!"
"Third Sister, Third Aunt is right. You are still young, and something like disfigurement should never happen again."
Feng Ling Xi's words made Feng Yu Xi cry even harder.
"Your Highness, how can I bear to see my mother in this state."
There's always a way, but remember not to harm yourself. Without people, there's nothing.
Fei Yu Xi held back tears as she nodded, Feng Ling X then embraced her, comforting her, "It's alright, it's over now."
"Fourth Princess, thank you."
Zhao knelt before her, "My daughter and I have never helped you in any way, yet you have helped us so much. We truly don't know how to repay you."
Feng Lingxi helped Zhao up, "Don't say these things. Perhaps I will need your help in the future."
"Zhao quickly said, "When the time comes, just tell me what you need from the Fourth Princess. Whatever it is, I will do it. I only hope that the Fourth Princess will help Yuxi; she's truly suffered being with me."
Feng Lingxi looked at her third sister, “Rest assured, Third Sister is a kind person. If there’s a suitable candidate, I will also help keep an eye out for her.”
"Thank you, Fourth Princess."
Fei Ling xi looked at Feng Yu Xi, "Third Sister, take good care of your health. I still have things to attend to, so I'll go back first."
As the wind and rain sent her out of the courtyard, Feng Lingxi then walked towards Liu's courtyard.
"Your Highness, you are so kind to the Third Madam and Miss. If Second Madam knew about this, she would definitely feel that you and Third Madam are in cahoots, and then she might target them even more."
"I intended to walk the same path as my third sister all along. If she harms my sister, it means she's going against me. Considering her intelligence, she shouldn't make such a mistake. Besides, General's Mansion is now under the control of my mother Zhang, not her concubine Liu."
"Your Highness, is this about getting rid of the second concubine"ute Yao Feifei. The Emperor sent him on an expedition, whether it is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen!"These are all her sons, but Xiu'er is one she can't see through or understand."Your Majes...
