t Dugu Cheng had been stimulated and suffered from a headache attack, causing him to faint. They prescribed some calming medicine and left.Dugu Su and Huan Yue guarded Dugu City for two hours, but Dug...Wind Ling Xi watched him cry continuously, her own mood becoming increasingly agitated.

Those who don't know better might think she was bullying Lu Hao.

"Can a big man like you stop crying"

It was her and her mother who were abandoned, not him. He was crying as if he was the one who had been abandoned. This made her upset and confused, as if she had done something wrong to him.

Lu Hao hurriedly wiped away the tears from his eyes and looked at Feng Lingxi's anger. He quickly said, "Don't be angry, I won't cry anymore, I just couldn't hold back, my heart is hurting, I..."

Here she was again, watching Lu Hao's uncontrollable tears, and she began to wonder if this Lu Hao was truly as the Madam Lu and her mother had said. He seemed so... effeminate. This man was simply a crier, like a wronged little daughter-in-law who had endured every hardship.

Is there anything else you want to say If not, that's all.

Feng Lingxi was really running out of patience, and Lu Hao saw this and quickly said, “Also, I want to know how you have been these past years. I've looked into your past, before you married the Crown Prince, your life wasn't easy..."

"I'm doing well now, that's all you need to know."

Lu Hao was interrupted by Feng Lingxi's words. Seeing the impatience in her eyes, Lu Hao bowed his head again.

Wiping away the tears from the corner of his eye, Lu Hao's mood improved considerably.

"I let you see the jokes, these years I've been holding them in my heart. Now that I've said them, it feels much better. I thought I would never be able to tell you these things." Taking a deep breath, Lu Hao regained his normal expression.

"We don't talk about the past. You are currently in Linxi County. I heard from Nian'er that the court has always harbored resentment towards both of you. The troops in Prince Chen's hands were also raised by you yourselves. If you are short of money or food, just say the word, and I can get it for you."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao's concerned eyes. Was he like this now, making up for her

Looking into his earnest eyes, Feng Lingxi calmly said, "No need, I'm doing well now. These soldiers can take care of themselves, they don't need your help."

Lu Hao's expression stiffened. When Feng Ling Xi put it that way, he felt like he was completely useless.

He traveled thousands of miles to get here, all for the purpose of helping her. Whether it's financial or military aid, as long as she asks, he can provide anything.

Lu Hao nodded, pulling out a smile, and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be so outstanding. It seems like I can't really help you at all."

"No, this is a big help to me."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao. He allowed her to see her biological father and learn about her mother's past. More importantly, he made it clear to her that her mother's hatred stemmed from love.

Lu Hao looked at Feng Ling Xi's serious face and nodded.

"I guess that solves all your questions, then."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "At least you told me about you and my mother. I will be even better to her."

Though her mother transferred her hatred for Lu Hao onto her, she never stopped protecting her. Just for this reason alone, Feng Lingxi would be kind to her mother. After all, up to now, her mother was only protecting her.

Every time her mother met with her, she would tell her some important information, all in an effort to protect her.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Hao took a deep breath, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

Feng Lingxi didn't know what he was talking about, but she just pretended that he understood her firm refusal of him.

After lunch, you should go back early. Don't try to find a way for me to return to the Lu family. I won't be going back.

Lu Hao nodded, "I know."

Feng Lingxi nodded, “Then let’s go have a meal.”

Lu Hao stopped her, "Xi'er, can we talk After this, we might not see each other again. There are some things I want to say to you. These years, they've been buried in my heart for too long."

Wind Ling Xi heard Lu Hao's words, sat down, and looked at him, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lu Hao looked at her, his eyes full of love, just like a father looking at his daughter. Feng Lingxi had never been looked at like this before, because Feng Aotien had never looked at her like this, even falsely.

At this moment, Feng Lingxi was still quite satisfied.

"About your mother's identity, I actually knew it a long time ago. I didn't know her for long before she told me. And, she has always kept something here with me. For all these years, she never asked for it back. Today when we met, I didn't know what gift to give you. Money, you wouldn't accept. I thought this gift, you would definitely like."

Lu Hao finished speaking and took out a box from his bosom. The box was the size of a palm, but its craftsmanship was incredibly exquisite. The carvings on it were unlike anything Feng Ling Xi had ever seen before, so intricate that just the box itself must have been expensive to make.

“This was given to me by your mother. I've always carried it with me. This time, thinking about your mother’s current situation, this thing will eventually come back to haunt me. So I’ll give it to you and let you keep it. Who knows, maybe you can understand something from it and help your mother.”

Feng Lingxi, hearing Lu Hao's words, became curious about the contents of the box. She opened it to find a folded sheepskin scroll, neatly shaped into a small square. As she opened it and looked at the several marks on its surface, her thoughts became muddled.

Once again, this tattered scroll. How many scrolls are there in total Feng Aotiān had two, the village head gave her one, and now she has another. Four pieces are already in her hands. How many scrolls are there altogether

Why would Mother scatter these things Is she hiding something by running around like this

"How long has this been in your hands"

"Almost twenty years," Lu Hao looked at Feng Ling Xi's puzzled eyes, "It can be considered a love token given to me by your mother, and she entrusted me to keep it. After I left, she never asked for it back. I wanted to return it to her many times, but I didn't know how to face her."

Feng Lingxi put the sheepskin scroll back into the box. This gift, she would definitely take it, because no matter whether she liked it or not, as long as it was related to her mother, she would accept it. Even more so, this was her mother's own.

“Over these two years, whenever I sought you out, I knew her whereabouts. I knew she was being hunted by the Yao Clan, so I looked for her, wanting to deliver this item to her. However, I never found her trail. Your mother is truly skilled at hiding. I couldn't find her until recently when Nian'er informed me to meet you. That's when I brought this along, intending to return it.”

"Lu Nian told me he'd been looking for me all this time and didn't know I was his sister. Actually, he knew my identity a long time ago. He got close to me in the capital back then. Was he intentionally getting close to me"

Feng Lingxi, after spending these two days with them, realized one thing: Lu Nian had known she was the one he was looking for all along. Everything he did in the capital was to get closer to her and get to know her again.say it now"There is nothing to translate.
