Chapter 1461: Smoke of War Rises
Empress wouldn't come to snatch someone away.It seems I'm quite popular after all.Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi, “Your Majesty Empress, would you like to tell the Empress Dowager to wait a moment,...Waner looked at Feng Siqi, who was holding her hand. The little girl's face was full of charm, and her bright eyes sparkled with cuteness.
"Feng Siqi, do you know what a scumbag is"
Feng Siyu glared at her, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of your elder sister, you might scare her."
"Alright, you two are always arguing. I brought your sister back today so you wouldn't fight."
Feng Lingxi spoke, and Feng Siqi immediately became obedient. She walked to Feng Lingxi's side and behaved herself, not daring to speak out of turn.
"Mother, my younger sister is extremely adorable, and my younger brother is very well-behaved."
Wan'er looked at them, feeling like the boss. It suddenly felt like she had two more family members, and she was so happy.
They are not to be trifled with.
Yuan Xiu Shen Yi drank a sip of tea, Wan'er turned and looked at the old man sitting in the distance. She hurried forward and bowed to Yuan Xiu Shen Yi, "Wan'er greets Master."
"Get up."
The Divine Physician Yuan immediately stood up and helped Wan'er, looking at her, "They are all my granddaughters. Just call me Grandpa."
"Sister, don't look down on Grandfather just because he looks unkempt. His medical skills are even better than Mother's, and let me tell you, he's also very good at martial arts. My brother and I learned our martial arts from him."
Feng Siqi hurriedly spoke up for Yuan Xiu's divine physician, afraid that her sister would dislike her grandfather's slovenly and dirty appearance. After all, her sister was clean and fragrant.
"Grandpa, Wan'er pays her respects to you."
Yuan Xiu burst into laughter, "This is perfect, don't mind my old bones."
Wan'er glanced at her mother, a smile still gracing her face.
"Master, I specially brought Wan'er to see you, but what is going on here"
Looking at the mess in the house, Feng Lingxi frowned. Feng Siqi hurriedly moved behind Feng Siyu and looked at Feng Lingxi timidly, her little face full of fear.
"Mother, my sister and I were sparring and got carried away. We didn't notice..."
"After tidying up, your elder sister bought candied fruit for you."
Feng Lingxi patted Feng Sisi's head and didn't scold him. They weren't the first time their brains went haywire.
Feng Siqi saw that her mother was not angry, so she hurriedly pulled Feng Siyu's hand. The two of them were busy and flustered. Wan'er saw this and immediately stepped forward to help. Looking at the two of them with identical faces, although they were different genders, they really looked alike, and they were so sensible.
"Where's Yuanxiu, the Divine Physician"
Tao Su glanced around but didn't see anyone.
He went out to buy groceries, now there is no one at home to help with cooking and cleaning, he can only be wronged.
Tao Su nodded and said to Feng Ling Xi, “I’m going out to buy some things and tidy up the house.”
Feng Lingxi responded, and Tao Su had only taken a few steps when more than ten servants and maidservants entered. The sudden appearance of so many people left Tao Su astonished.
"Miss, we were sent by the madam to attend to you."
Feng Lingxi looked at the maids and servants before her, "How did she know I was here" she asked. Then Feng Lingxi felt it was ironic, this Lu family in the capital city, what didn't they know When she came back, they would know where she lived.
"Now, clean this place up and organize the house."
Wind Lingxi instructed, after a moment of thought, took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it to Tao Su, "Take this to purchase the necessary items for the household. I..."
"No, I have it."
Tao Su didn't reach out to take the silver note. Leaving Yuanfu, Feng Lingxi thought in her heart, he might not have money, but Tao Su wasn't poor. He was a chieftain after all, how could he possibly be without money.
"Mother, I'm going with Uncle Tao."
Feng Siyu finished his work and hurriedly got up to walk to Tao Su's side. "Uncle Tao, I'll go with you."
Tao Su looked at Feng Ling Xi, seeing her nod in agreement, then he took Feng Si Yu out.
"Mother, is Uncle Tao married"
Suddenly, Wan'er asked, watching Tao Su’s departing figure, lost in thought.
"Sister, Mr. Tao has not gotten married."
Feng Siqi answered eagerly, looking at her sister's puzzled gaze, and asked playfully, "Sister, do you think Uncle Tao is handsome"
Wǎn'er looked at her mother, "Mother's friends must not be too bad."
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath. Wan'er was afraid she would get married, that's why she kept asking her.
"Wan'er, Tao Su and your mother are friends, he will marry another girl in the future, don't think about it, your mother has enough of you three sisters."
"Mother, if you hadn't married, the Crown Prince would have wanted to marry you. I heard them say that when you were at the Lu residence, purple qi surged into the sky, and civil and military officials alike urged the Crown Prince to take you as his empress."
Feng Lingxi, hearing Wan'er's words, pulled her aside and sat down.
"Don't worry, Mother. I won't marry anyone and will just live with the three of you siblings."
"Mother, Wan'er is not a child anymore. Wan'er knows that some things are not something you can simply forbid."
Feng Lingxi’s smile stiffened slightly as she looked into Wan'er’s earnest eyes. How had this child grown in the past five years The words she spoke now were just like an adult's, so mature that it made Feng Lingxi’s heart ache.
"Mother is serious, she won't remarry, as long as you two are obedient, nothing is impossible."
"Uncle Tao is very good, he takes good care of his mother-in-law, and Siyu and Siqi also like him." Wan'er's words made Feng Lingxi frown. "Wan'er, you child, don't talk nonsense. Tao Su and I are really just friends."
Wǎner watched her mother's anger, clenched her fists, and struggled in her eyes.
“Mother, I know you don’t like to hear what I say, but I have to tell you, I don’t want you to go back to the Great Yuan Dynasty and be with him. I also don’t want you to marry some imperial grandson. The men in the palace are not as good as the knights outside at least they won't always think about having three wives and four concubines.”
"Did he marry many women"
Wind Lingxi heard Wan'er's words and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with heartache. Seeing Wan'er cry, she nodded tearfully, her heart ached for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Mother knows, if you really want to find him, mother won't look for him. Rest assured."
Waner hummed in response and didn't press further.
"Why are you so serious, like a grown-up You worry too much."
Yuan Xiushi, the divine doctor, looked at Wan'er. Since she entered, he had sensed that this child was unlike ordinary children. He genuinely cared for Feng Lingxi and more than that, he harbored a secret thought, unable to bring himself to speak it.
Fei Lingxi and Wan'er lived together, Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi naturally also lived with them. The courtyard was very clean, the sheets and quilts were all new. Fei Lingxi and Wan'er talked about many things she had done in the mountains over the years, but Wan'er just listened without saying much.
She, on the other hand, asked Feng Lingxi a lot of questions. However, Wan’er merely gave evasive replies, saying she was practicing martial arts and attending classes, nothing different.
Feng Lingxi knew that Wan'er's life wasn't so simple. Feng Lingxi asked Su Yue alone, and only then did she learn that Wan'er had been living in the courtyard all these years, not allowing Dugu City to enter her courtyard, which was the courtyard she used to live in.
Because of her special status, Wan'er has suffered a lot over the years, but she never complained and silently learned.u Qingyun nodded, "I just heard them say you were leaving, I thought they were joking with me. After all, it's only the first day today, I thought you could stay for two more days.""Something happened...
