Chapter 10: The Prince's Revenge, Unpayable
Xi completely. This Empress position, it could only be hers.Feng Lingxi left the Flower Viewing Banquet and did not go directly back to Shou'an Palace. Instead, she strolled around the other side of..."Let me go!"
Feng Lingxi coldly warned, her fierce appearance making Dugu City more interested in her.
At first sight, he dared to overpower her. She was the first and the only one.
"What if we don't"
As soon as Dugucheng finished speaking, a cold light flashed from his crotch. Then Feng Lingxi's icy voice rang out, "Then I will cripple you!"
The dagger suddenly reached his neck, its blade sharp and gleaming.
Feng Lingxi's actions caused Dugu City's face to change slightly. This woman was so ruthless.
"After all, you were the one who forced yourself on me..."
The dagger pressed closer to his neck, and Dugu City felt her anger. He fell silent.
With the dagger at his neck gone, Feng Lingxi took out a silver ingot and threw it to him, “That day I was drugged, if you want compensation, take this money.”
Dugu Cheng looked at the ten taels of silver in his hand, the corner of his lips twitching, "Is the Fourth Miss of a prestigious General's Mansion only worth ten taels of silver"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dagger suddenly appeared on his neck. Dugu City hurriedly accompanied him with a smile and said, “Let’s talk properly.”
As far as he knew, Feng Lingxi's personality wasn't like this. Why was she completely subverting everything he thought he knew about her now
“The poison in your body, it's been there for a while now, hasn't it”
Feng Ling Xi retracted the dagger in her hand and said coldly, "If you want to be cured of this poison, I can help you. But after curing your poison, we will be strangers."
This person's aura is extraordinary, he is definitely not an ordinary person. That day, in order to obtain the antidote, I didn't think much of it. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have asked him for help with the antidote.
Dugu Cheng heard her words, a smile played on the corner of his lips. That look made Feng Lingxi give him a white look.
"It seems the rumors circulating outside about the fourth young miss of General's Mansion being foolish and naive are false. Unexpectedly, she can also detoxify. How interesting."
"I don't want to waste time with you. Are you going to cooperate or shall I end this"
Of course it's cooperation, I wouldn't want to die.
Looking at his malicious gaze, Feng Lingxi coldly said, "Go back first, come back in two days to get the antidote."
"How do you know what poison is in me if you haven't even examined me"
"Every full moon, my whole body feels cold and I become confused, like a six-year-old child. Is that what you mean"
獨孤城的身體微微僵硬,看著風淩兮的眼神充滿了驚訝,她怎麼會知道他的病情?這些年來,除了夜希,無人知曉他這樣的病情,難不成是那天晚上?
That night, did I…
Feng Lingxi looked at his probing eyes and said coldly, "I'm not interested in you. I'll give you the antidote, but after that, don't bother me again."
"A word is enough."
Dugu Cheng agreed, he was curious to see what secrets the rumored foolish and silly Fourth Miss still held.
"You can get lost. Come back in two days to pick up the antidote."
Dugu City watched her open the window and leave through it.
Feng Lingxi walked to the table and wrote a prescription before going to sleep.
Dugu Cheng walked out of Feng Mansion, and Ye Xi immediately appeared. Seeing the bloodstain on Wangye's neck, she hurriedly asked, "Wangye, how did you get hurt"
Dugu Cheng reached out and touched his neck, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. His enigmatic gaze left Ye Xi's heart pounding.
"Ye Xi, the Fourth Miss of this General's Manor is quite interesting."
"My lord, did she cause your injury"
This Feng Lingxi is really bold, even daring to harm the prince.
Du Gucheng's mind was filled with Feng Lingxi's face. Thinking of the appointment two days later, the corners of his mouth rose even higher.
"You go back to the Prince's Residence once, tell the steward, after the Duchess arrives, don't worry about anything."
Ye Xi looked at her own king with confusion. Wasn't he supposed to be finding Feng Si Miss for revenge How come she saw anticipation in his eyes instead
"My Lord, forgive Ye Xi's impertinence. Aren't you seeking revenge on Miss Feng Si By letting the steward run the household without any supervision, aren't you afraid that Miss Feng Si will turn the entire manor upside down"
"This king just wants to see what this Feng Lingxi is trying to do."
Ye Xi looked at the smile on his king's lips, he dared to say, the king's revenge would never be repaid.
Early one morning, Feng Lingxi was woken up by the commotion outside her door. She got up and went out to see Liu Shi shouting and yelling in the street, her unruly behavior shocking Feng Lingxi's world view.
"Second Aunt, what are you shouting about so early in the morning"
Seeing Liu come, she immediately put away her shrewish demeanor from before. She wore an expression of a virtuous wife and mother as she walked towards Liu, "Liu, you're just in time. Please control your maidservant. How dare she act against me."
Little Li climbed to Feng Lingxi's face in embarrassment, holding onto her skirt and crying, "Fourth Miss, the second mistress took away all the dowry that came from the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
"You little bastard, what utter nonsense are you spouting I'll kill you!"
When Liu heard Xiaoli's words, she raised her hand to slap her, but Feng Lingxi stopped her.
"Second Aunt, I remember when the Emperor bestowed marriage upon me, I told you that all betrothal gifts should be delivered to my courtyard. At the time, Second Aunt, you agreed."
Liu's face changed slightly, and she said with a smile, "Xier, I don't want your dowry. I just want to organize it so that when you get married, you can have a grand entrance as a bride."
"The dowry is from the Si Wangfu, as for the bride price…" Feng Lingxi turned to look at Liu Shi, the coldness in her brows made Liu Shi's heart tremble.
"Just listen to her cold reminder, "I am the legitimate daughter of General's Mansion, dowry will be arranged according to the legitimate daughter's dowry, I believe the second aunt won't shortchange me."
"Xier, look at our General's Mansion, it's not very rich. Your dowry is so much..."
Liu's words were cut off before she could finish by Feng Lingxi, "The dowry is all given by the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and the dowry is given by the General's Mansion. This logic, Second Aunt wouldn't understand"
"Xier, you have three older sisters who are still unmarried. Their dowries haven't been prepared yet. How could the General's Mansion have any left over to make a dowry for you"
The Liu family couldn't stand it anymore. With so many dowry gifts, she had originally intended to take them all. Now, not a single one was hers. Feng Lingxi even wanted more dowry! Did she really think that as the eldest daughter, everything should be the best for her
Feng Lingxi's gaze swept across Liu Shi's face, seeing the discontent there. She said calmly, "It seems that the three elder sisters are going to marry before me. The dowry is all prepared, so since this is the case, I won't force it."
Liu's eyes lit up, "Xi'er, you are so good..."
"Second Aunt, when your dowry is prepared, I'll get married. I'm not in a hurry."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and, looking at the servants carrying the dowry, coldly said, "What are you gawking at Take this young lady's dowry to my courtyard. If anything is missing, I'll take your lives."perial hunt had ended, the grounds were cleared, and no one was allowed near except for the hunters and the families of noblemen. Many officials brought their children, hoping to have them selected by...
