rywhere, and she would likely be able to control everything."Du Gucheng's words reminded the Emperor, who glanced at Shu Fei. "Your temper is still so hot-headed. I haven't finished speaking yet, why..."That's natural."

Feng Lingxi stepped forward and looked at the smile on his face. He was quite handsome, but his heart was black.

"My lord, are you truly suffering from amnesia or are you pretending"

Dugu Cheng's smile froze on his face, looking at her sharp eyes. If he said it was an act, he dared to bet that later she would kick him out of the carriage.

But if he refuses to admit it, she knows he's lying to her, and the consequences will be even worse.

"My amnesia is true, but I remembered everything from last night."

Feng Lingxi stared at him, looking into his sincere eyes, and gave him a white look. "Do you think I would believe your words"

"My beloved, you've already slept with me, I don't mind, but you have to be responsible for me. You belong to me now."

獨孤城 grabbed her arm, that coquettish tone made Feng Lingxi's skin crawl.

He quickly pulled his hand away, looking disgusted.

“Dugu City!”

Feng Ling's brow twitched, her veins prominent. She clenched her fists and stared at him, plastered with that plaster-like adhesive, wanting nothing more than to punch him.

Du Gucheng immediately sat up straight and looked at her.

My love...

"Don't call me 'Beloved'."

That nickname really sent chills down her spine. This change in attitude from Dugu City was simply terrifying.

"Xier."

Dugu Cheng smiled and asked, "Is it okay for me to call you this way"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's current transformation, "The second question, was the marriage arranged behind your back"

Dugu Cheng's face changed slightly, and he nodded with gritted teeth.

"I knew that night was after you, so I asked the emperor for permission to marry you. After all, both you and I are already husband and wife in fact, so let the emperor give us a formal marriage."

"So you faked your death to get me married into the Duke's manor"

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, and Dugucheng, seeing the murderous glint in her eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Xier, this king didn't mean to deceive you. The matter of feigning death is known only to my father besides me, and it's a very important matter, so…"

"So this is why you stayed at my place on your wedding night without telling me who you really are"

Feng Lingxi glared at him, "Dugu Cheng, you're full of lies. Why should I believe you."

"Xi'er, this king knows he was wrong. This king wanted to tell you at the time, but..."

Dugu Cheng frowned. To be so honest, how did he feel like he didn't even have the confidence to speak

He was the one who overpowered others, yet now he felt stifled and resentful like a little housewife.

Looking at Feng Lingxi's sharp eyes, Dugu Cheng kept comforting himself. He had to make Feng Lingxi believe him first, and then he could make her fall in love with him.

"Xi'er, this king will make amends to you. This king still says the same thing, I will prove it to you, this king truly wants to spend his days with you. From now on, do not speak of divorce again."

Feng Lingxi looked at his earnest expression, closed her eyes, and wouldn't mention the divorce. Would she not divorce her husband

Du Gu Cheng saw that she was no longer speaking, and sat beside her. Looking at her cold expression, he became puzzled. Everyone said that the fourth young lady of General's Mansion was a foolish woman. How come when facing him, she was more intelligent than anyone else, even colder in personality than him.

When Feng Lingxi arrived at the General's Mansion, she had just gotten up when she saw Dugu Cheng lifting the curtain and reaching out to help her off the carriage.

Such an action made her frown, looking at the smile on his face, Feng Lingxi had a feeling she couldn't describe. She always felt that Dugu City's change was too great, making her feel apprehensive.

"I pay my respects to the Fourth Lord and Lady."

Feng Aotien led his family out to greet them. Seeing Dugu Cheng's attitude towards Feng Lingxi, his eyes were filled with surprise and he quickly bowed in respect.

Dugu Cheng smiled and said, "General Feng, please rise."

Feng Aotien got up and looked at Feng Lingxi. He saw that her eyes were still cold, not treating him, her father, as anything important at all.

"Mother, how did you come out Xi'er came back just to see you." Feng Lingxi walked up to Zhang Shi, supported her, and looked at her complexion, which was much better. Her mood improved quite a bit too. It seemed that the medicine pills she took were still effective.

Zhang's face was beaming with joy as she watched the Fourth Prince accompany Xi'er back home. She couldn't have been happier.

"Xier, let's first have the Fourth Prince come to the mansion and sit down. We can't be disrespectful to the Fourth Prince."

"The empress dowager was being polite. Your Majesty, when you accompany Miss Xi back to her family home, upon arriving, we will all be one family."

Du Gucheng's shout of "Mother" made Zhangshi's eyes light up with joy. Liu Shi, watching from the side, was so jealous her eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Lord Si Wang, please come in."

Zhang quickly invited Dugu City in. Feng Aotien watched Dugu City's attitude towards Xi'er and said with a smile, "Fourth Prince, please."

Du Gu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Xi'er, you please."

Feng Lingxi supported Zhang Shi and walked in, only then did Dugu City follow up. Such a move made Feng Aoti stare wide-eyed. This Fourth Prince's attitude towards Xi'er really surprised him. Could it be that the Fourth Prince had really taken a liking to Xi'er

"Xi'er, this king specially brought some gifts for my mother-in-law. You ask my mother-in-law's maidservant to receive them."

獨孤城 raised his hand, and Ye Xi, accompanied by the servants, carried the gifts into the room. Zhang Shi, seeing those boxes, hurriedly got up, her face filled with anxiety.

"Lord Four, with so many gifts, how dare my wife accept them."

Dugu Cheng smiled as he helped Zhang Shi to her feet, "Mother-in-law, you gave such a good daughter to this King, this gift is nothing at all."

With a slick tongue, Feng Ling cast a cold glance over Dugu City. What a compliment he gave!

"Father-in-law, here's yours as well."

Dugu Cheng signaled to Ye Xi, Feng Aotian was so excited when he saw Dugu Cheng call himself his father-in-law.

"Lord Four, I... how dare I accept this."

The joy on her face was so evident that Feng Ling Xi's expression grew even colder.

"Father, these are just some of this King's intentions. When I returned home this time, I didn't come back to accompany Xi'er, which made her feel wronged, and also wronged my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Today, this King specially accompanied Xi'er back to apologize to you both."

獨孤城 bowed to them, and Feng Aotiān hurriedly rushed over to help him, "Fourth Prince, you nearly scared us to death."

Feng Lingxi really couldn't bear it anymore. She said to Zhang Shi, "Mother, I'll accompany you for a walk in the garden. I have something to talk to you about."

Zhang Shi glanced at Dugu City, and Dugu City hurriedly said, "Then I'll have to trouble my mother-in-law."

"Fourth Master, then this servant woman will accompany Xi'er for a walk."

Feng Lingxi was supported by Zhang Shi as they went out. Xiao Li hurried to follow, while Duguo City reminded Xiao Li to take good care of Feng Lingxi. His love for Feng Lingxi was so obvious that the other three sisters of the Feng family had tears in their eyes.

"Mother, let's sit over there and talk."

Windling supported Zhang Shi to the pavilion and had her sit down. She grasped her hand, "Mother, I'll take your pulse and see how your body is recovering"

Zhang watched the calmness on her daughter's face, worry couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

"Xier, you tell your mother honestly, how does the Fourth Prince treat you"

Wind Ling Xi's hand stiffened slightly. Hearing her mother inquire about the matter, a smile appeared on her face. "Mother hasn't seen it with your own eyes The Fourth Prince treats me exceptionally well, showering me with affection in every way."

"Xier, your mother can see that you're not happy at all."'ve returned early"Luo Li's expression stiffened, and she glared at Du Gu Cheng. The way they looked at each other was like lovers, making people watching feel as if they were witnessing romance."Isn'...
