Chapter 3: The Madwoman

time talking with me.""Okay."Feng Lingxi's attitude softened, and she was friendly to Lu Fu.As for Lu Hao, seeing Feng Lingxi being so friendly to his own wife, he just wanted to speak up, but then h...Liu clenched her fist, about to lash out when she saw Feng Lingxi walk gracefully and confidently to the spot that rightfully belonged to her. She pointed at Feng Linglong who was sitting there and said coldly, “According to the Feng family’s rules, this is the seat for the eldest daughter. Sister, your place is over there.”

----------------------------------------------------

Feng Linglong's face flushed alternately red and white. Since Feng Lingxi had stopped taking this seat, it had been hers. Now, with so many younger sisters watching, she was being forced to give it up, and her own elder daughter status was being used against her. This was clearly a declaration of war, an attempt to take back what was rightfully hers.

"Linglong, get up quickly. How can you be so disrespectful This is your fourth sister's place. Sit here with me," Liu said seriously.

"Mother, this is my place, I..."

"Being childish," Mrs. Liu scolded sternly, giving her a warning look. Feng Linglong could only unwillingly get up and sit beside her mother.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the seat, "Xiao Li, change to a clean cushion."

Feng Linglong heard her words, angrily wanting to get up but was pressed down by Liu shi.

After Xiaoli dressed Feng Lingxi, the atmosphere in the dining hall changed.

Normally, the silly Miss Four would never act like this. Even the second wife listened to her, and for a moment, none of the Wind Family's young ladies or gentlemen dared to speak.

At this moment, Liu shi said, "Xi'er, after we finish our breakfast, let the doctor take a look at you."

This clearly refers to the matter of being tested, Feng Lingxi's eyes turned cold. Perhaps from the moment her father planned to marry her off, this mother-daughter pair had started scheming to ruin her reputation.

Feng Lingxi ignored them. All she wanted now was to fill her stomach quickly so she had the energy to fight with them later.

Just after taking a sip of soup, Feng Lingyu, the second young miss of the Feng family across from her, suddenly rushed to Feng Lingxi and said, "Fourth sister, elder sister heard that you snuck out again last night"

Feng Lingyu and Feng Linglong are not good people. Feng Linglong envies her status as the legitimate daughter, while Feng Lingyu envies Feng Lingxi's beauty. They have tried several times to design and ruin her appearance.

Feng Ling Xi slightly raised her eyelids and said softly, "Second Sister, one doesn't speak while eating, nor does one speak while sleeping. Don't you understand these basic rules"

"You..."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly gave her daughter a look, signaling her not to be impulsive and to appease her first. She told her to wait until the examination was over before dealing with her.

Breakfast was eaten in a strange atmosphere. Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks and, before Liu could speak, said, "Second Aunt, I have a headache and want to go back to my room to lie down first. You can tell the doctor to come directly to my courtyard."

This statement clearly had an air of command. Liu shi gritted her teeth secretly, but on the surface she wore a pleasant expression, "I'll have the doctor go right away."

Feng Lingxi left the dining hall. After seeing her mother, Zhang shi, back home, she returned to her own courtyard.

Xiao Li's eyes were full of worry, and she said anxiously, "Miss, the second mistress is clearly targeting you. I think this body inspection, no matter whether your body is clean or not, the result will be the same."

Feng Lingxi looked at the little girl in front of her, "What do you mean"

"As a young lady, she's at the age to be married. According to tradition, as the eldest daughter of the Feng family, she is eligible to marry into the royal or imperial families. But if her innocence is compromised, she loses this privilege. The eldest sister has coveted her position as the eldest daughter for a long time, and the second aunt would naturally help her. Besides, if the eldest sister marries well, the second aunt's status will also rise. I'm afraid that by then, there will be no place for us in the Feng family."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes and said faintly, “You seem to know quite a lot.”

Xiao Li blushed and whispered, "It was Madam who instructed me to do so."

Feng Ling Xi understood in her heart. It seemed that her sickly mother wasn't someone to be underestimated.

"Xiaoli, is this a test for checking the Gu Palace Sand"

Xiao Li nodded. "Yes, Miss, your Shuiguangsha is still here, right"

Windling, her voice soft in response, gazed with shadowed eyes. If she were merely guarding a palace of sand, matters would be far simpler.

After entering the room, Feng Lingxi picked up the discarded rouge and went aside to mix it. "Xiaoli, guard the doorway. Shout when someone arrives."

Xiaoli responded and stepped back. Feng Lingxi rolled up her sleeves, looked at the spot where Shougongsha had disappeared, and applied the prepared cinnabar on it. She hid all the other rouge.

Just finished, Liu came with the doctor and the young ladies from Fengfu, quite lively.

Liu thought that Feng Lingxi had suddenly become intelligent. Besides checking her body, she might as well let the doctor take a look. She said, “Doctor, Xi’er woke up this morning with her mind recovered. Could you please check if her body is completely healthy”

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort, lay flat on the bed, and extended her hand for the doctor to examine.

The moment the doctor touched her hand, he felt a sharp pain in his sleeve and broke out in a cold sweat.

Lifting her head again to look at Feng Lingxi, she saw a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes, so much so that the physician's hand trembled as he felt her pulse.

"Doctor, how is Xi'er"

Mrs. Liu was very anxious, and as soon as she felt her pulse, she started asking questions. However, the doctor seemed lost in thought and didn't respond for a long time.

"Doctor"

Mrs. Liu spoke again, and the physician, lost in thought, felt a sharp pain once more. He quickly said, “Congratulations, Second Madam, Miss Four’s pulse is stable, and her mind has returned to normal.”

Although Liu was shocked, she still managed to appear calm on the surface and immediately agreed, “That’s good…” She then turned her attention back to business, “In that case, could Doctor please check if the Shou Gong Sha is still effective”

Feng Lingxi revealed the Shouguisha on her arm. The physician only glanced at it before getting up and saying, "Returning to Madam Er, Miss Si's Shouguisha is still there, she is a pure maiden."

"How...," Mrs. Liu exclaimed, her emotions nearly betraying her. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and stifled the words, "Thank you, Doctor."

Wind Ling Xi looked coldly at the Second Madam's lost expression, intentionally keeping the doctor. "Second Madam, I have some questions I want to ask the doctor, would it be possible for Mother to excuse herself"

When Liu's plan failed, she could only leave with a group of people who hadn't witnessed the drama.

After the Liu family and their entourage had walked away, Feng Lingxi got up and walked in front of the doctor.

"The doctor is a clever man, come back in three days to collect the medicine. But if you leak even a word, don't blame me for being ruthless. Xiaoli, escort the doctor out."

The doctor clutched his arms and nodded repeatedly, leaving in a hurry with his medical bag.

Inside the barracks.

All the soldiers were silent, afraid to breathe a word. A cold and deadly atmosphere hung heavy both inside and outside the tent.

Last night, their war god king was overpowered by a woman. When Night Xi, the king's close guard, found him, he was only wearing a piece of cloth to cover his modesty.

"Dig three feet into the ground and find that woman for me."

The man sitting in the chair was extremely handsome, but his face was pale and bloodless, contorted with rage.

"My lord, I have found it."

A dark shadow quickly strode into the tent, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the woman from last night has been found. She is Miss Feng Lingxi, the fourth daughter of General Feng's residence."

"Fengling xi."

The cup in Dugu City's hand shattered with a snap, and everyone in the tent knelt down, "Your Highness, please calm your anger."

Dugu City suddenly curled the corner of his mouth, a sneer, "Ye Xi, convey a message to my father, this king wants Feng Lingxi to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a widow."rriedly said, "Your Highness, I don't need this."Why notFeng Lingxi looked at Yingba's flustered eyes and comforted, "Then you keep it first, just as if you are holding it for me.""Yes."Feng Lingxi kn...
