Chapter 1304: War Clouds Rise

age to the Prince's Mansion. Since both Feng Ling Xi and Bai Xiao Die were disguised, in the eyes of outsiders, they were merely two maidservants from Yao Shu's household. No one paid them much attent..."Why are you crying"

Mrs. Lu looked at her son, Lu Hao, in this state. "You look like this, anyone would think we mistreated you. Don't cry, hey, how can you be like this"

Lu Hao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't erase the pain on his face.

Feng Lingxi originally had no feelings for Lu Hao. Seeing him like this, she suddenly thought, would he not be so heartless to her mother Perhaps there was some reason that delayed his affections

This Lady Lu is so formidable, with such a powerful family background, that he had no choice but to do this

But after all, Lu Hao only met his biological mother after the wedding. Feng Lingxi was confused for a moment and didn't know how to view Lu Hao.

"I'm trying to make you laugh, but seeing you reminds me of your mother, and it just feels so suffocating."

"My mother and I don't look much alike."

Lu Hao nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, you don't look particularly like her." It was the way she carried herself that reminded him so much of her. The resemblance was uncanny. Every detail, from her brow to the curve of her lips, brought Wan Ying to mind. He couldn't help but think of her whenever he looked at her.

"Don't worry, she's doing well now."

Feng Lingxi's words made Lu Hao smile wryly, "Child, don't deceive me, I know, she's actually hiding all over the world, she's not doing well."

"You know quite a bit." Even knowing that her own mother is being hunted, it seems Lu Hao has been investigating his mother for a long time. It's likely he already knows everything about her.

Lu Hao nodded. "To be honest, I did come back to look for your mother after I left, but she had already married your current father. I thought she had found her happiness, so I didn't dare to disturb her. After that, I learned that she gave birth to you."

"Then how do you know I'm not the daughter of Feng Aotian"

Feng Lingxi was unwilling to call him "father" and was also unwilling to call Feng Aotian "father".

"Later, I went to see your mother again. Although she didn't know, I stayed for a while and figured out that her daughter wasn't his child. Calculating the time of birth, it wasn't hard to guess."

When Lu Hao spoke, he looked at Madam Lu with a defeated expression. He admitted that Yao Wan'ying was the woman among his many lovers who had captured his true feelings and remained unforgettable to him. If they hadn't gotten married, he would have married Wan'ying.

"You say it so passionately, but I don't believe a word you say."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "So, you came to recognize me, and I won't recognize you either, because that's what my mother meant."

Lu Hao nodded, letting out a sigh. "I wouldn't dare hope that you'd recognize me, I know I don't deserve it."

"Lu Hao, you..."

Mrs. Lu glared at her son, exasperated. "She's your daughter! If you refuse to acknowledge her, then I have no daughter left."

"Madam, I am ashamed to let her recognize me."

Lu Hao raised his eyes, and this sentence choked back all of Madam Lu's words. Looking at the pain and struggle in Lu Hao's eyes, she couldn't bear to blame him. In the past, she always said he was useless, incapable of giving birth to a daughter, and that he was frivolous. But now, seeing him like this, Madam Lu also felt pity. After all, this man was her choice.

"Since you put it that way, I guess I have no choice but to accept it."

Mrs. Lu looked at Feng Lingxi, "Although you don't recognize him and are unwilling to be my daughter, I still want to tell you that no matter whether you recognize him or not, we all recognize you as our daughter. If you need anything or have any requests in the future, feel free to come to us. If you run out of money, just let us know, and the Lu family's doors will always be open to you."

Lu Hao heard his wife's words, with a grateful look on his face, he grasped her hand, "Wife, thank you."

"Why are you telling me this We're family. This daughter is yours, she's mine too. You don't need to thank me."

Originally touched by their loving couple, Feng Lingxi now found herself feeling a bit repulsed by their affection. Thinking of her mother, she just couldn't bring herself to feel moved.

Since you're here, you're our guest. Stay for a meal before you leave.

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and they were able to let themselves go, no longer clinging to her for recognition. This meal, even if it brought their relationship to an end, hoping that there would be no entanglement in the future, letting her go, and also letting her mother go.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes once again welling up with tears. Feng Lingxi averted her eyes, refusing to meet his gaze.

"Your name is Wan'er, aren't you You are so pretty."

Lady Lu's gaze fell on Wan'er, her eyes filled with love. Her fondness for Wan'er was undisguised. If not for Wan'er's reluctance to approach her, she would have rushed forward to embrace her.

Wan'er didn't call out, she just hid behind Feng Lingxi. Lu's face froze slightly, feeling as if she had been rejected. How could there be such a lack of feng shui in her Lu family Yao Wan'ying was so fortunate, giving birth to a daughter who looked like a fairy and having such a cute grandson. She was truly envious to death.

"Wan'er, please give my regards to Madam Lu."

"Hello, ma'am."

Waner spoke, and the smile on Mrs. Lu's face froze. Mrs. Lu, that title is too old-fashioned, isn't it

She doesn't seem that old either.

"Sister, calling me like that makes my mother sound too old. How about you call me Grandma Lu instead"

Lu Nian watched his mother's face, pale and flushed in turns. This was the first time he had ever seen his mother like this, her expression not even tinged with anger.

"Grandma Lu."

Wan'er changed her tune very quickly, and now Madam Lu was truly afraid to criticize her. It's better to have a surname than to be called Old Madam Lu, isn't it

"You're so well-behaved, come here. This is a gift from Grandma Lu to welcome you."

Lu's wife took out a delicate gold locket from her bosom and handed it to Wan'er.

"This is too precious, Wan'er can't accept it."

Before Fengling could even speak, Wan'er had already refused.

Mrs. Lu looked at the golden lock in her hand, "It's so small, it's not worth two pennies, just a little thought."

"Since it's worthless, why are you giving it to me"

Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. This Wan'er's train of thought was truly indescribable.

"Wan'er, quickly thank Grandmother Lu."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly called out, and Wan'er only then reached out to take it, saying "thank you".

“I just think this gold locket is perfect for her. It’s not too big or too small, just right. It won’t be too cumbersome. However, there's a whole world inside this locket. We need to keep it safe.”

Waner looked at the golden lock in her hand, playing with it. The small gold lock was only slightly larger than an adult's thumb, but it was very delicately crafted, shining brightly. Feng Lingxi didn't seem to notice anything special about it.

"Thank you for your gift, Madam Lu."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, "It's just a little gesture. Don't always thank me. The Lu family owes you so much, and we don't know how to make amends. Your father…no, Lu Hao is only now trying to make amends. You're not willing to acknowledge us, and we don't want to force you. Nian’er and the others have made our position clear enough. In the future, we won't pester or pressure you anymore. We just hope that you can treat me as an ordinary person."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu Hao and nodded. that case, young master Li's medical skills are truly remarkable"Dugu Yan's eyes flickered, but she heard Luo Li say, "A Flame's medical skills are indeed excellent, but he made a promise to me. He w...
