that the patriarch's people have come. I wonder how you will choose regarding Yao Bi's matter"Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Song, these days, he was doing his best to investigate Yao Bi's affairs and hel..."Brother-in-law."

Lu Xuan walked up to Duguxing with a smile, causing Duguxing's scalp to go numb. Should he respond to this term, "brother-in-law"

"I heard from my elder brother that the 500,000 troops in your camp are all raised by you. It must cost a lot of silver every year, right"

Dugu Cheng's body stiffened slightly, looking at Lu Nian, who hurriedly explained, "Lu Xuan, don't talk nonsense. When did I tell you And it's been so long since we last met, you can't frame me."

Lu Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "It's all the same. The point is, is Brother-in-law short on silver"

獨孤城 stood trembling in their midst. These three uncles had really investigated his background thoroughly, but he didn't know how much they knew.

獨孤城站在他們中間瑟瑟發抖，這三個舅子真的是把他的底子都查清楚了，就是不知道他們知道多少。He translated to: 獨孤城 stood trembling in their midst. These three uncles had really investigated his background thoroughly, but he didn't know how much they knew.

"As for the silver, our Lu family has the most to spare. We can definitely afford an army of 500,000."

Lu Yi spoke up, his voice booming with confidence. He was full of temptation and didn't believe for a moment that this brother-in-law wouldn't be able to handle it.

"This..."

Dugu City was very embarrassed. How could he tell them that he could actually support this army of 500,000

"Say a few good words for us, will you It doesn't matter if you acknowledge your father or not, as long as you acknowledge me, my three brothers, and our mother, you'll be like having mountains of gold and silver."

Lü Xuen's words caused Dugu City's lips to twitch slightly. Was this Xi'er's biological father just thrown away like that

These people from the Lu family are truly unique.

"Right, whether or not my father is important doesn't matter. What matters is that my mother needs a daughter. My sister said her mother wouldn't let her recognize a father, but she didn't say she wouldn't let her recognize brothers and me. Am I right"

"This..."

獨孤城深深地吸了一口氣，抬起頭看著三位哥哥，滿眼無奈。

"To be frank, the three sons of Lu, although my wife and I are husband and wife, you may not know this, but if I try to persuade her, I'm afraid that even entering the door at night will be a problem."

The three were instantly shocked by what Dugu Cheng said. Looking at Dugu Cheng's sincere eyes, they felt truly pitiful.

"There's really no way, is there"

"I'm sorry."

The three of them looked at each other, their faces turning pale.

It seems like being your brother-in-law isn't easy.

"Who said it wasn't true My master is afraid of his wife. Throughout the Yuan Dynasty, everyone knows this. Just ask the three sons of Lu who went to investigate. My master says east, my master never dares to go west."

Ye Xi hurriedly spoke up for her master, but Dugu Cheng said in a deep voice, “Ye Xi, this king respects Xi'er. There’s nothing to fear about being submissive. It’s just love for Xi'er.”

"It's not easy for anyone."

Lu Nian sighed, "Brother-in-law, to be honest, we all understand. My father is a scaredy-cat when it comes to women. It seems like the women of our Lu family are all formidable. You've been through so much." After speaking, she patted Du Gucheng on the shoulder.

"Otherwise, you all go back to the inn first and discuss it after Lady Lu and Master Lu arrive"

"That's all there is to it."

After giving each other some final advice, the three left.

When Dugu Cheng saw that they were all gone, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"My lord, it seems the Lu family won't give up. They are determined to claim the bloodline of the Lu family from your wife."

"Even if my mother-in-law spoke, I couldn't accept it. If I accepted them, perhaps Xi'er would have to separate from me. This Lu family can be disregarded, but without Xi'er, I would have no queen." He still knew what was more important.

"Makes sense."

Dugu Cheng stood up, and Ye Xi hurriedly followed him, "Your Highness, I think the Princess's mood didn't seem very good just now. Should we go and have a look"

She was in a state of turmoil, with Yu Mo by her side. "You accompany me out for a moment," the king said.

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi and Feng Yu Mo came out of the front hall and began basking in the sun in the garden. Seeing Wen'er playing happily with Tian Xiaomi in the distance, Feng Lingxi quickened her pace and walked toward them.

"Wan'er, Xiaomi."

Tian Xiaomi heard Feng Lingxi's voice and looked up. It was Feng Lingxi, so she hurried over to her.

"Queen."

"Mother."

Wan'er threw herself into Feng Ling's arms, "How did you come back, Wan'er almost died waiting for you."

Feng Ling Xi hugged Wan'er up, letting her rub against him in his arms for a while before finally looking up at her. His face was full of grievance, making people feel sorry for him just by looking.

"This worried little Wan'er, Mother has been out with Father these days taking care of business and just returned. Wan'er, have you listened to your aunt at home"

"Of course, aunt treats Wan'er so well, and also her uncle."

Feng Ling Xi stroked Wan'er's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

"You're such a good boy/girl."

"Your Highness, Wan'er has been very well-behaved these days and particularly diligent in her training. She said she wants to learn martial arts, the ones the Clan Chief had taught her before. These days she has been practicing diligently, and she’s getting quite good at it."

"Is that so"

Feng Ling glanced in surprise, seeing Wan'er nod, and praised, "Wan'er is amazing! Since you like it, you should study it seriously. However, Wan'er is old enough to start learning characters and reading. Make time for it when you have free time."

Wan'er obediently nodded. "Wan'er remembers, Mother said to be both scholarly and martial."

"Your Majesty, I will teach Wan'er well. Just trust me. As long as she is by my side, I will do my best for her."

"Who can you trust if not your own siblings" Feng Lingxi chuckled, watching as Tian Xiaomi poured all the love she had for her lost daughter onto Wan'er. She saw it with her own eyes. Since losing that child, Tian Xiaomi hadn't conceived again. She'd even taken a look herself; there were no problems, only that time was needed to let her heart heal and open up a bit more.

"Your Highness, Gu Li Liu Shu has left."

Xiao Li anxiously stepped forward and handed the letter to the princess, "It was brought by a maidservant who was cleaning the room earlier."

Feng Yu Mo, who was beside her, heard Gu Li Liu's letter and hurriedly snatched it. Looking at the contents of the letter, his handsome face gradually sank. After reading it, he threw down the letter and ran out. Feng Ling Xi hurriedly called after him, "Where are you going"

Bring her back.

"Xiao Li, you follow him."

Looking at Feng Yu Mo's rapid pace, Feng Ling Xi's eyes were full of helplessness, "You said you have no feelings for him, so why chase after him"

Picking up the letter on the ground, Feng Lingxi looked at the content. Guli said she had left, thanking them for their care during this time. In the end, she apologized to Feng Yuemo.

Even with such a simple letter, Yumo was so angry and tense. She even said she disliked the person.

"Yumo and Gulì have been having a falling out lately, let them sort it out themselves Yixuan said, if they don't open up, there's no use talking about it."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “So I let Xiao Li follow him, just don't lose sight of him.”

"Mother, should Aunt-in-law Feather Ink also find a mother-in-law for Wan'er"

Feng Lingxi smiled and touched Wan'er's head, asking, "Wan'er wants an aunt"

"Think about it, then Aunt can give Wan'er some younger brothers and sisters. That way, Wan'er will be the eldest. She can teach them martial arts when they grow up."

"Do you really want a younger brother and sister that much"

Feng Lingxi glanced at Tian Xiaomi. She didn't change her expression because of Wan'er's words. If she could have a child, it would be best.ust take a good sleep. We’ll face tomorrow properly then. I’ll be here waiting for you to come back.”He gently kissed her forehead, tucked the blanket around her, and lay down beside her. Dugu City b...
