Prince’s Mansion yesterday, is that right”Feng Lingxi heard this and hurriedly got up to kneel before Shu Fei. Shu Fei hurriedly helped her up and reprimanded, "Mother concubine came back not to scold...“Daughter understands, daughter will pay attention.”
Liu nodded, taking out a hot water bottle from her bosom and sighing.
"I'm afraid this time it's another failure. Your father hasn't been able to persuade that wretch for days, he's probably lost."
“Father’s heart is with you. Sooner or later, Zhang shi will hand over the steward's authority. Mother can endure for a while longer. Wait until I marry into the Prince’s mansion and ascend to the position of Crown Princess. By then, Feng Lingxi will be nothing. In the end, she and her mother will both be trampled under my feet.”
"You little rascal, keep it down."
Liu patted her hand, "You also need to handle things well over at Zhao's side. Although Feng Yu Xi is a concubine's daughter, your father doesn't love her either. I'm just worried that Feng Ling Xi will pull her over there and join forces with Zhang to oppose us."
Feng Linglong readily agreed, "When my daughter marries into the Prince's Manor, I will find a suitable family for her to marry into. By then, only Zhao Shi will be left in the manor, and you can do whatever you please with her."
"That little bitch I don't care about, Zhang Shi is a trouble, this Feng Lingxi is really capable, I've almost finished treating her."
Liu frowned, “It’s all because I'm too soft-hearted.”
Feng Linglong patted her on the back, signaling for her to calm down. Liu shi lay down, "Go outside and take a look, don't let your father be persuaded by Zhang shi."
Feng Linglong responded and went out. Behind the screen, a man walked out and bowed to Liu Shi, "Madam."
"Investigate Feng Ling for me thoroughly, especially her whereabouts before she recovered from her serious illness."
She didn't believe it. A girl who had been mentally unstable for over a decade could actually hide so much under her nose. There must be some conspiracy behind this.
Feng Lingxi returned to the front hall. Feng Aotien saw her return and hurriedly asked, "Xier, how is your second aunt's condition"
Thinking of his mother's illness for so many years, he had never cared so much to ask. Liu, that concubine, was actually this concerned. Feng Lingxi couldn't help but feel cold. When will this practice of favoring concubines and neglecting wives change
"I've taken my medicine, and tomorrow I'll be back to my old self, right in front of you."
Feng Aotian heard her words and let out a long sigh of relief.
Such a scene falling into Feng Lingxi's eyes, the coldness in her eyes deepened.
"Father, I just heard from the maidservants in the house that Third Sister's face was injured. I went to take a look just now, and the injury is quite serious. Father, have you asked about the cause"
Feng Lingxi mentioned Third Sister, only to see Feng Aotien's eyebrows twitch. "This is all your third aunt's fault. This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't quarreled with your second aunt and even fought. It dragged your Third Sister into it."
"Feng Lingxi's aunt's fault" Feng Lingxi glanced at her mother and asked lightly, "I don't know what Aunt San did wrong How could she even implicate Third Sister almost disfiguring herself"
"It's just a scratch on your face, don't make it sound so scary."
Feng Aotiān's partiality made Feng Língxī furious, "Daddy said that slashing the cheek was a small matter, so I dare to ask Daddy, isn't it really disfigurement that is a big deal Even if Third Aunt did something wrong, Second Aunt wouldn't be so cruel. Third Sister hasn't left the house yet, if she was truly disfigured, then who would she marry in the future"
Feng Aotiān's face darkened, "Xī'er, why do you say that Your third sister's injury, father has already asked the doctor, it's not serious, just a cut on the skin, it doesn't hinder anything."
"Father, if you really think it's no trouble, then why don't you also have the third concubine slash Big Sister and Second Sister's faces Anyway, it's no trouble, the doctor will just apply some medicine and it'll be fine."
Feng Lingxi's words hung in the air. Feng Aoti's face darkened, his expression stormy as he glared at her, "You..."
"Well now, Father's feeling sorry for them, afraid their facial injuries won't heal and they'll be disfigured and unable to marry"
Wind Lingxi coldly questioned, "Third Sister is also your daughter. If you hadn't gone to the Third Aunt's courtyard, would Third Sister have been injured Why don't you say that this is all your fault"
"Impudent! Is this how you speak to your father"
Feng Aotien was enraged, “Are you the father or am I”
"Xier is only reminding her father not to make the daughters' hearts cold."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking, her cold eyes fixed on him, "Ever since I burned my brain, you ignored me. Now that I'm better, I can't even get your attention. I want to ask Father, in this General's Mansion, who is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, and who is the legitimate wife If Father insists on differentiating treatment, then Lingxi will follow Father's example. At that time, Father should not blame me."
After Feng Ling finished speaking, she walked to Zhang's side and sat down.
"Mother, you must manage the household well. Remember, you are the mistress of General's Mansion, and I am just a concubine. As your concubine, you have the right to discipline me. Do you understand"
Feng Ling Xi's words shocked Zhang Shi somewhat, Xi'er, what is wrong with you Why would you say such things
"Xier, you..."
Feng Aotien looked at her, meeting her cold gaze. The words he had almost spoken were swallowed back down.
It took half a beat before she replied, “Although Xiao Die is just a concubine, she has managed General Manor on your mother’s behalf for over ten years.”
"Father wouldn't be unaware of the idiom 'a dove occupying a magpie's nest,' would he"
Zhang watched Feng Aotien about to speak, and opened her mouth to say, "General, now that my body has recovered, I will take care of the household affairs myself. In the future, I hope you can treat the inner courtyard like you treated Liu Shi, entrusting all matters big and small to me."
Feng Aotian listened to the words of the mother and daughter, his face became even uglier. He wanted to get angry, but he was held back by Dugu Cheng who remained silent.
"What your mother said makes a lot of sense, father-in-law. Since Liu has always managed the household in this way, why not let your mother manage it now After all, as the mistress of General's Mansion, she should act like one. Besides, your mother comes from a scholarly family, so she definitely won't mistreat her concubines."
獨孤城 spoke, standing up and looking at Feng Lingxi.
"Xi'er, the emperor sent someone to pass a message. He wants me to take you to the palace for tea. Leave the matters at General's Mansion to Yue Mu and Liu Mama to handle. Your father is a martial artist, so he won't interfere with these household affairs, you don't need to explain, he understands."
After Du Gu Cheng finished speaking, he asked Feng Ao Tian again, "Father-in-law, is what I said correct"
Feng Aotian dared not say otherwise, so he quickly replied, "Your Highness is absolutely right. This matter of the backyard, I leave it to my wife to manage, and I am completely at ease."
Du Gu Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said to Zhang, "Mother-in-law, then I'll trouble you. If you have any questions, just ask Liu Ma Ma for help. She is by Mother's side, she has seen all sorts of things in the world. Handle the affairs of the third concubine and the third young miss properly, punish as you see fit, and reward as you see fit."
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord."
"Grandma Liu."
Du Gucheng shouted, and Liu Mama hurried forward, showing the utmost respect.
"If you require manpower, feel free to send someone to the palace to inform me. This king's wet nurse is also at your disposal."
Old Madam Liu hurriedly knelt down, "This servant dares not. This servant will definitely help the mistress take care of the backyard."
Feng Ling Xi stepped forward to help Liu Mama up. Liu Mama looked up at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes filled with fear.
"Nanny Liu, I ask you to take good care of my third sister. Her facial injuries must not be neglected in the slightest."s to assist with.”What a helpless situation. If she didn't know the real intention, she would have believed what Feng Yu Xi said.Feng Lingxi clapped her hands together, the pastries she held still war...
