Chapter 1318: War Clouds Gather 129

ingxi, after finishing her words, saw the obvious change in the expressions of the three women. She continued, "Today, I went to pay my respects at a funeral. On the way there, some strange things hap...Lu Hao and Feng Aotian, the two of them, argued back and forth, neither willing to give in.

Feng Lingxi watched them arguing for her and her mother, a self-deprecating smirk playing on her lips, a cold laugh echoing through the air.

It's really laughable. Back then, she was unwanted by her own father and neglected by those who raised her. Now, they dare to criticize each other's faults in front of her This has truly opened my eyes to the world. There are such strange people out there.

"Isn't it interesting that you are arguing in front of me"

Feng Lingxi spoke up, interrupting the argument between the two. Feng Aotian and Lu Hao both stopped, looking at Feng Lingxi, accusingly saying, "I was just speaking the truth."

"Enough."

Feng Lingxi coldly shouted, looking at Lu Hao and Feng Aotiān, "You one didn't raise me, the other raised me but doesn't want me. What qualifications do you have to criticize each other in front of us To me, you are nothing."

"Xier, I..."

Lu Hao's words reached his lips but were swallowed back down. Feng Aotien looked at Feng Lingxi, a look of neglect etched on his face as he watched her being pampered. His expression dimmed.

He knew that ever since Feng Lingxi was born, he had initially doted on his daughter. However, later, Wan Ying's attitude towards him made him transfer all his love for Yao Wan Ying into hatred, inflicting it upon Feng Lingxi.

After that, Feng Lingxi had a high fever and was delirious. He wouldn't even say he liked her anymore.

"You all came here not to fight, General Zhen Guo. Aren't you interested in investigating the origins of the Lu family Now that everyone is here, ask away." Feng Lingxi finished speaking and got up. "I'm going to get something to eat."

Looking at Feng Lingxi's departing back, both Lu Hao and Feng Aotien wanted to follow, but they both stopped themselves.

“Just don’t just stand there, since the Generalissimo is here to investigate us, let him investigate. We came here to recognize relatives, and this incident caused Xi'er trouble and even implicated their husband and wife. Let’s quickly handle the important matters and go back as soon as the investigation is over.”

Mrs. Lu spoke first. Feng Lingxi didn't blame them for causing her such trouble from beginning to end. She had investigated and found that the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty held a grudge against their couple. If they didn't handle this matter properly, their couple would be implicated. They didn't even know what would happen.

Lu Hao nodded, looking at Feng Aotian, "Today we set aside the past. You are the General of Zhen Guo of the Great Yuan Dynasty, ordered to investigate me, a merchant from Xi Gu country who has been searching for someone for thousands of miles. Ask whatever you want."

"Are you really people from the Western Ancient Country"

Could it be fake

Lu Hao looked at Feng Aotian, "You might as well investigate."

"What does Xiguo do, where does someone who lives in Xiguo reside"

"The Generalissimo is asking too much here. Where is the Lu family in Xigu Country It doesn't seem like it needs to be filled out, does it"

Feng Aotien stared at Lu Hao, the two locked eyes, sparks flying.

"The Lu family were the imperial merchants of Xi Gu, and the Empress of Xi Gu was my aunt. Is that enough"

Mrs. Lu's words shocked everyone present, even Du Gucheng was taken aback. Looking at Mrs. Lu's domineering expression, it was simply unbelievable that the Lu family was still a relative of the imperial family.

That's enough.

Feng Aotiān heard of this Lu's wife’s identity, his forehead was already covered in sweat. Fortunately, he didn’t move them, otherwise, this Great Yuan dynasty might really fight with the Xi Gu country.

"My husband and I came here to find Xier, but we didn't expect to cause so much trouble for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Now that they don't recognize us, we will return to Xi Gu Country in two days. Our army is already on its way."

Lady Lu was indeed domineering. Her words left Feng Aotian speechless, nodding repeatedly.

“I have investigated your purpose and identity, and will report truthfully to the Emperor. For any inconvenience caused, I ask Madam Lu to bear with us. It is imperative that this matter be elevated to a level of friendship between our two nations...”

"Whether the two countries are friendly depends on what the Generalissimo reports back to your Majesty."

Lu Fu-ren looked at Feng Ao-tian, "This time coming, I shouldn't have stayed this long. Since you guys came looking for me, there are some things I should say, and I'll say them all."

Feng Aotien's face flushed alternately red and white, "Rest assured, Madam Lu, I will speak to the Emperor properly and ensure the good relations between our two countries."

"The rest of it, you guys can talk about slowly, I won't disturb you."

Mrs. Lu got up and looked at Dugu City, "I'm going to see Wan'er. It's time for me to leave. It's really a pity."

I still wanted to stay for a few days, but now that my identity is exposed, I have to go back as soon as possible to avoid causing more trouble for Feng Lingxi. The current Yuan Dynasty is really too harsh on her. This time, by exposing my identity, I hope that this emperor will be more restrained and stop causing them trouble.

Dugu Cheng nodded and watched Lu Fu leave. Looking at Feng Aotian's expression, he was indeed quite startled.

Dugu City guessed that Lu's identity might be the empress's natal family, but seeing her style of doing things, he felt it was unlikely and dared not confirm. The people of the Lu family were truly one more terrifying than the last in terms of status.

Thankfully, he treated Xier very well. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.

Lady Lu came out of the front hall and saw Feng Lingxi eating in the courtyard. She walked towards her.

"Xier."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly stood up, "Madam Lu."

Lady Lu gestured for her to sit down, and looking at Feng Lingxi's weariness on her face, she said, "Today's developments have turned out like this, I truly apologize. I didn't expect your emperor would make such a fuss about this. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, just coming to find you for a family recognition."

Feng Lingxi heard what Madam Lu said and felt even more favorable towards her.

"Madam Lu, you needn't blame yourself. Even without you, what was destined to come would still have come."

Lu's Madam took the jade pendant from her neck and gave it to Feng Lingxi, "This is a thing I always wear. Please take it. If you need to borrow troops or seek help in the future, take this jade pendant to the border of Xigu Kingdom, and they will help you."

Feng Ling Xi heard this, her face full of shock.

"Can this jade pendant summon troops"

Seeing Madam Lu nod, Feng Lingxi was filled with shock. She looked at Madam Lu, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Madam Lu, are you of the royal family"

"The Dowager Empress of Xi Gu is my aunt. This was bestowed upon me by the Emperor of Xi Gu."

Feng Ling quickly returned the jade pendant to her, "I can't accept this, such a precious gift..."

“You take this. I don't mind if I don't have this jade pendant, but you might not be so lucky. I've spent some time here and understand the current situation clearly. You're living in fear, whether it's the imperial court or the so-called Yao clan. Life isn't easy for you. Without a strong enough backing, how can you survive Listen to me, keep this safe, just in case.”

"Lady Lu, this thing is too precious. Besides, I am not your daughter. Even if you really want a daughter, I'm not your biological child. You don't have to be like this."

But Mrs. Lu laughed, looking at Feng Lingxi's refusal like this, she knew how many people wanted this jade pendant.arch the mountain, but there's no news yet. However, they haven't finished searching, so let me just wait here for his message peacefully.The smile gradually faded, Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes droope...
