Chapter 1308: War Clouds Gather 119

elders and tribe members." Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li back to the Holy Maiden Hall, ignoring the crowd kneeling in the snow behind her."Your Highness, will the Chieftain truly help us uncover the truth...These years wars between border countries have been less frequent, Xi’er doesn't know if it's normal either.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's puzzled eyes and comforted her.

"The bracelet on your wrist is very special, and the weaving technique is also very unique. Was it woven by your mother"

Lu Hao pointed at Feng Ling Xi's wrist, looking at the braiding technique. He knew it was Yao Wan Ying's handiwork just by looking at it. Only she would have such exquisite skills.

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi looked into Lu Hao's eyes. He seemed very interested in the bracelet she had crafted, but it was entrusted to her by her mother and she couldn't give it to him.

"Something is hidden inside."

Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, "If you don't believe me, you can open it and see for yourself."

"Open"

Feng Lingxi looked at the woven bracelet on her wrist. She had no idea where the clasp was. Her mother had woven it so that there didn't seem to be a string end, and when she pulled on it, it was solid.

"Reach out your hand, and I'll show you how to open it."

Lu Hao spoke, but he didn't force Feng Ling Xi. If she wasn't willing, he wouldn't force her.

Feng Lingxi struggled for a while, then reached out in front of him. Lu Hao turned his wristband and said, "There's a mechanism here that's open. You just need to use the needle to pick it open, and you can take out what's hidden inside."

"Is there really something here"

Feng Lingxi curiously looked at the bracelet on her wrist, the size of a bangle. Seeing Lu Hao nod, she looked confused.

“This is a technique unique to your mother. No one else knows how to do it. When I was with her, she would often weave them, showing me each bracelet and telling me the solution every time. And I have never told anyone else.”

"You mean, only my mother would do this"

Feng Lingxi was a little unconvinced. She hadn't taken it off when she washed up, so if there was something inside, it would probably have gotten wet by now.

Lu Hao nodded, “She rarely compiles like this. Compiling something like this must mean she’s hiding something. That’s what she told me.”

Feng Lingxi, hearing him say this, was very curious. What exactly did her mother put in it

"Can you open it"

Lu Hao nodded, looking at Feng Lingxi, "She didn't tell you how to open it because she wanted to protect your safety. I can help you, but the choice of whether or not to look inside is up to you."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists. If Lu Hao left, she wanted to know what her mother had hidden here, but she was afraid there would never be a chance again.

"Open it, can you put it back"

Lu Hao nodded, Feng Lingxi bit her lip, "Okay, I want to see."

Feng Lingxi took out a silver needle from her bosom and handed it to him. Lu Hao glanced at it, grabbed her wrist, found the hidden opening, and picked it out. Feng Lingxi saw him take out a chopstick-sized object from the middle of the woven bracelet. He took it out and opened it to reveal a piece of very thin leather with dense lines of writing on it.

"What is this"

Lu Hao glanced at it, "I don't know, but it should be very important."

>

Feng Lingxi spread out on the table, looking at the dense characters on it. How was this written It's so amazing!

"This is amazing."

Lu Hao looked at Feng Lingxi, "You don't know what this is"

Wind Ling shook her head, looking at Lu Hao's questioning eyes, "Do you know"

"I don't know."

Feng Lingxi carefully rolled up the thin, letter-filled piece of leather. "Please put it inside for me," she said.

Lu Hao carefully put things in, then took the silver needle to reseal the opening. Feng Ling Xi watched from beginning to end, but still couldn't figure out what technique was used. After sealing it, she didn't know which thread was used.

"Your mother entrusted this to you because it's something very important. Please take good care of it for her."

Lu Hao handed her the silver needles, "You'll learn this technique yourself in time. I can't teach you without her permission."

Feng Lingxi nodded. She could tell there was something hidden inside, which was shocking enough. She had never seen such intricate weaving techniques before. Today, she truly broadened her horizons.

"My lord, my lady, it's time for dinner."

The house manager came to call, Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao, "Go have a meal."

Lu Hao nodded, but his heart was filled with reluctance. After this meal, they were leaving. He had finally managed to say a few words to Xi'er, and she wasn't so resistant to him anymore, yet now they had to be apart.

Feng Lingxi was filled with reluctance, but she had no choice. Feng Lingxi refused to acknowledge him as her father, what could he do Moreover, Wan Ying wouldn't allow her to recognize him. Even if Xi'er didn't hate him, she wouldn't acknowledge him.

Three people returned to the front hall. Mrs. Lu and Wan'er were having a great time playing, they didn't know what they were saying, which made Mrs. Lu laugh non-stop, she kept praising Wan'er. As for Lu Nian and his three brothers, they all looked at Wan'er with affection, and there were many small paper notes stuck on their faces.

"Wǎn'er."

Feng Lingxi shouted, Wan'er hurried to her mother's side, a smile still on her face. The sweat on her forehead made her hair stick to it, but it couldn't hide her joy.

"Mother, Wan'er is playing games with Grandma Lu and her uncles."

"Isn't it hot"

Feng Lingxi glanced at Lu Fu-ren and Lu Nian and the others, “Wan’er is mischievous, she has troubled you.”

"It's nothing, I'm not tired at all." Mrs. Lu looked at Wan'er, "Wan'er is so clever, even grandma isn't a match for her."

Lu Nian looked at Feng Ling Xi and saw that she wasn't angry. She was also quite polite to her father, which secretly pleased Lu Nian. Perhaps there was a chance this matter could turn around.

"Sister, Wan'er is a particularly gifted child. She learns everything very quickly. You are doing a great job teaching her."

"What learns fast"

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, "How come I didn't know she had such talent"

She knows a lot, all three of us plus my mother couldn't beat her with our words.

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingxi was at a loss for words. Wan'er's sharp tongue was indeed true.

"Mother, it's my uncles who love Wan'er and deliberately let me have my way."

"Mother, Wan'er hasn't been disobedient," said Wan'er, her voice very sweet and obedient.

"Good girl/boy."

Feng Lingxi stroked her head and gently kissed her cheek. "Mother knows Wan'er is the most obedient."

"Mrs. Lu, Young Master Lu, please proceed to the dining hall for a meal."

Dugu Cheng greeted everyone and politely nodded at Lu Hao. Mrs. Lu responded, and the group arrived at the dining hall, each taking their seats. The dishes were already served.

At the dinner table, Dugu Cheng had been observing Mrs. Lu and Lu Hao's preferences, but there wasn't anything special about them. They ate everything without being picky, and Lu Hao even enthusiastically served Wind Lingxi dishes. Dugu Cheng thought to himself, perhaps because of Xier, they weren't picky about anything.

After the meal, Lu Hao and Dugu Cheng went outside to chat for a while. Feng Lingxi watched them from afar, not knowing what they were talking about, but she saw that Dugu Cheng's attitude towards Lu Hao was very respectful.

"Xier, we'll be leaving in a few days. Just as I said before, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to reach out to me."owager looked at her reaction and became angry."What do you mean by that, mocking me"The maids on both sides hurriedly persuaded, "Shutai concubine please calm down, Sister Princess...""Please addres...
