ition to harm the interests of the Yao clan, they would be re-elected and severely punished. Such a selection gave many members of the Yao clan the opportunity to become elders.What surprised the trib...The little grass hurriedly looked around to make sure no one was there before speaking, "Miss, it's Bai Liuli from the Lu family. The mistress asked me to tell you to go to the Lu family and ask the head of the Lu family to give Bai Liuli to you."

"My mother told me to find Lu Hao" Wasn't she the one who didn't let her recognize Lu Hao before How come she's letting her find him now

"Madam said, Miss is the daughter of the Head of the Lu family. Madam Lu and Head Lu have been spreading the news for years that they want to acknowledge you as their own. Madam knows they treat you well and told you to ask them for help."

“So Mother was only willing to let me recognize him because she wanted the Lu family’s help.” Thinking about it this way, Lu Hao was also quite pitiful. The woman he had wronged back then, and now she came looking for him again for Bai Liuli. In the end, Mother wanted to use Lu Hao.

The little grass was anxious, "Miss, you mustn't think that way. The mistress said the Lu family would be very happy if you returned to your ancestral home, because they need you too."

Wind Lingxi thought of what Lady Lu had said to her before, and smiled bitterly.

Now she somewhat understood the meaning of the phrase "heaven has its own design." Although her mother still didn't want her to acknowledge him as her father, now her mother asked her to take Bai Liuli, which was precisely the heirloom of the Lu family. After all the twists and turns, it ended up back in their possession.

Feng Lingxi looked at the anxious eyes of the little grass and nodded.

"I'll find a way to get Bai Luli."

The little grass beamed, "Madam is right, Miss will definitely agree."

She had already met this Bai Luli before, and Lu's wife had already planned to give her. If she went back, it wouldn't be difficult to take it, just...

"Little Grass, did my mother always know about Bai Liuli's situation"

The little blade of grass shook its head, "It was after Madame found out, Miss. Madame told you to do something, you must do it well. She did everything to protect you and the younger Miss. You two are the most important people to her, nothing can happen to you."

"So that's how it is. I told you, Mother, if she had known all along, why wouldn't she have let me and Lu Hao recognize each other before"

Little Grass looked at the sadness in Miss's eyes and comforted her, "Miss, actually Madam has been working very hard these years. She has been hiding all the time and hasn't slept soundly for a day. She keeps improving her skills, hoping that one day she will be able to help you and little Miss."

"Did Mother know all along"

Feng Lingxi saw the little grass nod, feeling very complicated. “Why didn’t she tell me sooner If she had told me five years ago, I could have…”

“It's useless, ever since the Madam returned to the Yao clan and was framed by someone for falling off a cliff, she already knew about the Yao clan's conspiracy. The elders calculated that the young lady born would be able to open the gates of the Holy Temple and unlock the treasure. However, the child has to be ten years old before doing so. As for the reason, Madam never mentioned it. It should be God’s will. Otherwise, I'm afraid the little miss would have been taken to the Yao clan for blood sacrifice after birth.”

The little blade of grass's words chilled Feng Lingxi's heart, making her unable to believe that this was the truth her mother had been hiding from her all these years.

"The sacred artifact the madam stole from the Yao tribe is actually the hiding place of each piece of the Yao tribe fragments. After finding each fragment, the madam wouldn't keep it on her person and would try every means to get it into your hands, but not all of them. Her purpose, you should understand, is to protect your safety."

“Whether it’s me or my mother who is captured, as long as the fragments are not complete, we both have a chance to survive. But if they are given one person, it means giving them the opportunity to kill us.” Feng Lingxi understands this all too well; they didn't kill her, likely because of this connection as well.

"That's how it is, Madam said Miss would understand her good intentions. Now that she's been caught, everything from now on will depend on Miss."

Little Grass placed all her hopes on Feng Ling Xi. After following Madam for so many years, she knew everything about Madam. As long as Miss wouldn't dislike her, she would stay by her side and protect both Miss and the young miss with all her might.

"Little grass, thank you. My mother saved you, but now you've come to save our whole family."

Feng Lingxi bowed towards the small blades of grass, and the blades of grass hurriedly bent down, frightened.

"Miss, please don't embarrass me. Little Grass's life was saved by the mistress. The miss is the mistress's daughter, and whatever the mistress says, Little Grass will do."

"Thank you."

The most valuable wealth her mother left her was Xiao Li and Xiaochao. Although they were both her mother's daughters, she felt the same way about them.

I just wonder where Xiaoli is now and how she's doing

“Miss, there’s one more thing Xiaocao has to tell you. Xiaocao is an orphan. After Madam saved me, I followed her. For so many years, Madam has treated me very well. But I promised Madam that after she accomplished her great ambitions, I would leave. However, I don’t want to leave now. I hope Miss will agree, after the great ambition is fulfilled, can I continue to stay by Miss and Madam’s side Even if it’s just as a maidservant, I’m willing.”

Looking at the little grass with hopeful eyes, Feng Lingxi lightly tapped her finger on its tip.

Of course, you just need to think about it. As long as we're together forever, I'll find a handsome husband for you when the time comes.

"Husband"

The little grass blushed, "Don't, please. I don't intend to get married. There aren't many good men in the world. I wouldn't want to be a concubine. It's better for me to live freely."

"That's a good idea, I admire that. I definitely won't find you a man who strays. I'll find you a husband who will never take a concubine in his life. As for whether or not you can control him, that's up to you."

"Is there really such a person"

Xiaocao looked at Feng Lingxi with disbelief, then saw her nod, her face full of expectation.

Where is he

"My older brother hasn't married yet, and he's clean-living. Mrs. Lu said that men from the Lu family are not allowed to take concubines, so he would be a good match for you." Mrs. Lu did say this, asking her to persuade Lu Nian to find a wife when she had free time. This young woman, though raised by their own mother and born into modest circumstances, gives off a very pleasant impression. She feels that if it's possible, the two could try dating, maybe they could even end up together.

"Miss, your elder brother is still unmarried. Will that be a problem"

Little Grass looked worried, calculating like this, she should be over thirty now, right

He delayed getting married for five years just to find me. Rest assured, although he's a bit older, he is definitely the best to girls. But you have to take the initiative, if you want him to take the initiative, he'll probably be too shy.

As soon as Feng Lingxi thought of Lu Nian's frigid and unapproachable demeanor, she genuinely worried for Lu Nian's marriage prospects.

"We'll wait until the little grass has helped Miss complete her grand undertaking."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "I'll look for a chance to show you later, she's as beautiful as Pan An..."

"Miss, who is Pan An"

Little Grass finished asking, and Feng Lingxi was also stunned. She coughed twice, "He's just a very handsome man."

"As madam said, young lady speaks a lot that is hard to understand." The grandeur of the palace is now on par with that of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.After Du Gu Su had served tea, he watched Du Gu Cheng with a stoic face."This king has heard that the fourth brother...
