Chapter 16: Truly Destined
to the palace"The Chancellor was named, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Yun'er has practiced repeatedly for several months for the Empress's birthday."Shen Yun stepped forward, her appearance stu...She walked to her seat and sat down, watching Liu Shi get up. Feng Lingxi was very satisfied, it seemed she had guessed correctly.
"Wind Lingxi, don't go too far. My mother has been sitting in that position for many years. What do you mean by saying this now" Wind Linglong was truly exasperated and began lecturing Wind Lingxi.
Before the wind could even rise, Liu shi chided, "Linglong, apologize to Xi'er."
"Mother..."
Feng Linglong coquettishly called out, but she was met with a slap that landed hard on her face. The burning pain made Feng Linglong stare in disbelief at her enraged mother.
"Take Miss to her room and make sure she doesn't leave it."
Feng Linglong covered her face and ran out crying.
"Xier, my elder sister spoils me too much. I'll definitely teach her a lesson and she won't take things that aren't hers anymore."
Feng Lingxi smiled sweetly, looking at Liu Shi's ingratiating smile, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Second Aunt. However, about what Second Aunt told me yesterday, did you tell Father"
Feng Aotien saw her ask and said calmly, "How can you say that You are the legitimate daughter of my Feng family. Your dowry will naturally not be stingy. The betrothal gifts from Prince Si's Mansion will also be sent to Prince Si's Mansion as your dowry. As for your mother, I will also treat her well."
"Then many thanks, Father. This dowry must not be stingy, or else if it gets out, it will only bring shame to General's Manor."
Feng Lingxi laughed brilliantly like a flower, looking at her gloomy father, her mood improved even more.
To make her agree to marry him, he was really going all out. It happened much faster than she had imagined.
"Xier, don't worry about this. You are the legitimate daughter of the General's Manor, everything will be arranged according to the dowry of a legitimate daughter getting married. I guarantee you'll have a grand wedding."
Liu forced a smile, her fists clenched beneath her sleeves. She wished she could strangle Feng Lingxi to death.
"Well then, many thanks to Father and Second Aunt. Once the dowry and betrothal gifts are in place, I shall board the flower sedan."
Feng Lingxi finished the last bite, put down her chopsticks and stood up.
"Father, Second Aunt, please eat slowly. Xi'er still has to go out and buy some clothes for Mother. I'll leave first. Please also ask Second Aunt and the accountant to give me some money to buy things."
Feng Aotien waved his hand, already so angry he couldn't speak. This rebellious daughter was infuriating him to death.
Thank you, Father.
Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li and left. Feng Aotian angrily slammed the table, scaring everyone at the table into silence.
This rebellious daughter, she's simply too much. Does she even have her father in her eyes anymore
Liu hurriedly soothed, “Master, Xi’er is stubborn by nature. Let's go along with her and let her marry first. Whether we like it or not, she's still the Fourth Princess Consort. Just bear with it.”
"I'm her father, she's so arrogant, it's really uncultured."
Liu's eyes were filled with tears, and she said remorsefully, "It's all my fault for not teaching him well..."
Feng Aotien saw that she was crying, and hurriedly soothed her, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just angry at her."
"Master, she is now married to the Fourth Prince by imperial decree. We can't afford to offend her right now."
Feng Aotien sighed, "Little Die, I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Liu shook her head, "As long as Xier is willing to marry and not bring trouble to the Feng family, I am willing to do anything without complaint."
"Little Butterfly."
Feng Aotian was very moved, "With you taking care of things at home, I can fight on the front lines with peace of mind."
After leaving the mansion, Feng Ling rushed straight to the market. She had been in the capital for many days, but this was her first time shopping. She still had high expectations for the bustling city. Xiao Li followed behind her, watching as she looked this way and that, keeping pace with her steps.
"Xiao Li, do you know where that doctor's pharmacy is from before I want to pick up some medicine to take back."
"Miss, that's the doctor from Renyi Hall, right over there. Xiao Li will take you."
Feng Lingxi responded and followed Xiao Li to the doctor's pharmacy. When Feng Lingxi appeared, the doctor's face changed drastically and he hurried forward to greet her.
"Four... Four Miss, how did you get here"
Feng Lingxi saw him sweating profusely on his forehead, and she smiled, "Miss Ben won't eat you, look at how scared you are. I came out today to take care of your business and help me get some medicine." Feng Lingxi recited a long list of medicinal names in one breath. The doctor listened and immediately went to prepare them.
"Miss, you're getting married in a few days. What are you buying so many herbs for"
Feng Lingxi took the medicinal herbs and sniffed them, “Aren't there still a few days I have some free time, might as well make something new and interesting.”
The doctor, hearing her words about the novel trinket, hastily wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He felt a chill run down his spine.
"Miss Four, here is your medicine," the physician handed the packaged herbs to Feng Ling Xi. She took the cloth bag in her hand, gave him a silver coin and turned away.
The antidote's recipe is here.
Feng Lingxi, when she handed the prescription to the doctor, lowered her voice and said, "Remember what I said."
The doctor hurriedly agreed, and Feng Lingxi then took Xiaoli out.
"Miss, what did you tell the doctor Why does he seem so afraid of you"
Feng Ling Xi passed the herbs to her, "It's nothing, just let him give me a cheaper price next time."
Her beautiful eyes swept across the street, looking at the tavern not far ahead. Feng Lingxi pulled Xiaoli towards the tavern. Just as they were about to go in, two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bumped into them.
"Miss, are you alright"
Xiao Li hurriedly helped her young mistress, and seeing that she was unharmed, shouted angrily at the person who bumped into her, "Don't you watch where you're going when you walk"
"Miss Four, it's good to see you again."
Dugu Cheng saw clearly that Ye Xi had bumped into someone, a smile curved the corner of his lips. "It's fate, why don't I treat you to a meal"
Seeing Dugu City, Feng Lingxi's mind was filled with what had happened that night. She had overpowered this man, yet he was still haunting her, appearing before her and making it impossible for her to live in peace
"Miss, do you know them"
Xiaoli, seeing the handsome young master and lady greet each other, also improved her attitude.
"I don't know."
Feng Lingxi coldly opened her mouth, Du Gucheng was about to speak, but when he saw Feng Lingxi's cold warning eyes, her gaze fell on the hand she was hiding in her sleeve, he hurriedly pulled Ye Xi, "Bump into someone and don't quickly apologize."
Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly. This was clearly them bumping into him, and now they were making him apologize.
Didn't we agree to settle accounts with Queen Wang
"Miss Four, I'm sorry!"
Xiao Li looked at Ye Xi and asked with confusion, "How do you know who my young mistress is"
Ye Xi looked at her own king, "What my king said."
Dugu Cheng looked at Xiao Li's questioning gaze, "Miss Si is the number one beauty in the capital, who doesn't know her"
But the maidservant has never seen Young Master, so she doesn't know who this Young Master is
"Xiaoli, don't mind them."
Feng Lingxi led Xiao Li upstairs, Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi followed closely behind. After hearing it, General Feng didn't seem as happy as before, and his face remained grim.Along the way, all the soldiers could feel the general's intense anger, and there were several outbursts of r...
