Chapter 13: Rebellious Daughter, Halt!

"Wah!" Ye Xi hurriedly pulled Wan'er to a distance. Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he asked, “Your Highness, tell me, what happened”Wan'er cried for a while before stopping, sniffed..."You..." Feng Aotien was so angry that he couldn't speak. Hearing that she was alright, he didn't know how happy he was, but he never expected that when he came back, it would be like this. He was truly disappointed.

Feng Lingxi turned around and was about to leave. This father was unreliable, it seemed that the original owner's mother wouldn't have a good life here either.

"You little slut, stand there!"

Feng Aotian roared angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Feng Lingxi's wrist, pulling her aside. He raised his hand and slapped her, but Feng Lingxi caught his hand. Their eyes met, and Feng Lingxi's cold gaze shocked Feng Aotian.

"With this slap, I'll bring down the entire Fengfu."

Feng Aotien was stunned by her cold gaze. Feng Lingxi shook off his hand, and Feng Aotien roared, "Rebellious daughter, do you know what you're saying If you dare to defy the imperial decree, when the Emperor blames us, the entire Feng Mansion will be raided and exterminated. Even if you don't care about me, you have to consider your mother."

Feng Lingxi heard him pulling out his mother card to threaten her at this moment, and suddenly laughed.

That cold gaze, self-deprecating smile, made Feng Aotien very uncomfortable.

“I believe my mother wouldn't blame me, anyway, we're going to die together, what am I afraid of”

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and left, leaving Feng Aotiantian behind, who loudly cursed her as an unfilial daughter.

"Master, please don't get angry. Xi'er's personality is just like this now. We can't anger her, we have to go along with her."

Seeing things escalate to this point, Liu knew that getting her dowry was out of the question. With Feng Lingxi dropping such harsh words and them inadvertently slipping up about her becoming a widow, it seemed like they were determined to break off the engagement.

Feng Aotien looked at Liu soothing him, sighed heavily, "I thought she was better now, could understand things, but I didn't expect her to become like this, it really pissed me off."

Liu quickly soothed him, "Don't get angry. Just go along with her wishes. We won't ask for any dowry. Let her marry peacefully. It's only a few days away anyway."

I thought I could outsmart Ling Xi, but she didn't fall for it. She even dared to yell at her father! Luckily, she went and fixed the Purple Jade Guanyin statue.

"Master, you should go and have a word with Elder Sister. Ask her to persuade Xi'er. I'm going to Xi'er's courtyard to apologize to her."

Feng Aotian patted Liu's hand, his face full of emotion. "My wife is still the best to me."

When Liu heard his call, she was delighted in her heart. However, on the surface, she quickly said, "My lord, you still call me Xiaod ie, if Xi'er or my elder sister hear this, they will be angry again."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Feng Aotien wore a look of contentment, while Liu Shi looked the picture of a virtuous and gentle wife. “My husband wouldn’t say such things,” she replied, “Xiao Die’s marriage to you is her blessing. I shall go find Xi’er now.”

Feng Lingxi returned to the courtyard. Along the way, Xiao Li followed her, wanting to speak but holding back.

Feng Lingxi knew this girl was worried about her, patted her head, and smiled, "Don't worry, the dowry and betrothal gifts, they will all prepare them for me obediently. No one can bully me."

Whatever belongs to Feng Lingxi, no one can take it away.

Little Li's eyes lit up, "Miss, with your words, Little Li is relieved."

This young lady, she's really good.

Feng Lingxi stroked her head, "Silly girl."

"Miss."

Xiao Li's face flushed red. This young lady's tone was so doting, it felt like she was talking to a man.

"Second Aunt will be here shortly. Xiaoli, go to Mother's side and tell her that I'll visit her later."

If she wasn't mistaken, this was her father's fault for seeking out his mother to settle scores and blame her instead.

"Miss, please be careful."

Xiao Li had just left when Liu Shi arrived at her courtyard with the repaired Purple Jade Guanyin. Feng Ling Xi saw her coming and wasn't surprised at all.

"Xier, your aunt has brought your purple jade Guanyin. Take a look."

Liu shi handed the box to her, Feng Ling xi took it and opened it. Liu shi hurriedly said, "This purple jade Guanyin is your dowry. That servant saw that I liked this purple jade Guanyin very much, so he secretly sent it to my room. When I reprimanded him, I accidentally dropped it on the ground and broke it. However, your aunt has already had someone repair it, and you can't tell."

Feng Lingxi took out the purple jade Guanyin and looked at her neck. Although it was repaired, the cracks were still faintly visible. It was far from perfect.

"Second Aunt, that servant truly deserves to die! This Purple Jade Guanyin was a betrothal gift from the Emperor to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. If the Emperor knew it was broken, he would definitely blame us. Second Aunt must punish the maidservant who broke the Purple Jade Guanyin severely."

Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "This is natural, aunt will definitely punish him well."

Feng Lingxi carefully placed the purple jade Guanyin. Seeing that she didn't pursue it, Liu Shi spoke up, "Xier, your father has always had a temper like this. Don't take it to heart. Rest assured, your aunt will make sure both your dowry and betrothal gifts are arranged properly and you won't be treated unfairly. Just don't hold a grudge against your father."

Feng Lingxi turned around, looking at Liu Shi whose smile was stiffening with effort. Her beautiful eyes flickered and she smiled faintly, "Second Aunt, there's something I want to confirm with you. Big Sister said that the Fourth Prince is dead in battle. How come you never told me about this"

"This..."

Liu's face changed drastically, and looking at Feng Lingxi's smile, she really couldn't laugh anymore.

"Xier, the emperor hasn't issued any decree yet. I was afraid you couldn't bear it, so I didn't dare tell you. Don't blame me for this."

Feng Lingxi saw her face full of distress and asked lightly, "Does that mean your second aunt blames me"

"Xi'er, this marriage is a royal decree from the Emperor. You just need to be willing to marry, and I will give you this dowry and a generous dowry for your wedding. I guarantee that you won't suffer once you get married."

Liu clutched her hand, her eyes pleading, "Please, Sister-in-law, think of your mother, your father"

Feng Lingxi withdrew her hand, her eyes turning cold. "If you want me to marry, then see the sincerity of my father and second aunt. After all, it's no different from death for me to be sent there as a widow."

Liu hurriedly said, “Auntie, just discuss this with your father.”

Looking at the Liu family fleeing in panic, Feng Lingxi walked to the table and looked at the purple jade Guanyin on it. She threw it to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Since you're so unwilling to get married, why would you put yourself through this Shall I help you"

Dugu Cheng suddenly appeared in her room. Feng Lingxi stood up and glared at him, "How did you get here again"

Dugu City watched her getting angry, and hurriedly said, "I didn't intend to pester you, I came here because there was something I forgot to ask you yesterday."

Ye Xi, who was hiding in the shadows, heard the lord's words, covered her face, she really couldn't bear to look any further. She had said she would get revenge, but the lord was too pathetic, wasn't heaid to waste your time."At first, Shangguan Huan and Qiu'er also stayed by her side, but later, they left and never reappeared. She told herself that they each had their own things to do, and this was...
