pture Liu Xi County.""Your Highness, you're usually quite clever. Do you have any way to defend the city without going into battle""Ye Xi, Xi'er doesn't understand tactics again, don't talk nonsense."...“So Father actually calls all the concubines ‘Madam’ now. It seems that Father, this general, is truly quite unique. It appears that Second Sister wants to enter Prince Four's Residence as a concubine with the position of a princess in mind. If Mother can make a concubine into a Madam, then shouldn't Daughter be able to make a concubine into Princess Consort of the Fourth”

Feng Lingxi stared at Liu Shi, the coldness in her eyes made Liu Shi clench her hands. Seeing Feng Aotien remain silent, she panicked as well.

"How come no one is speaking anymore Did I say something that hit too close to home, making it embarrassing to speak up"

Feng Ling Xi looked at Feng Ling Yu, "Second Sister, was I right Now you have nothing to say"

Feng Lingyu looked at her, just about to speak, when Liu shi suddenly knelt down and slapped herself in the face, saying to Zhang shi, "Sister, I know I shouldn't let the General call me his wife. I've also said that the General shouldn't do this. It's all my fault. Please, sister, forgive me this once."

Feng Aotian looked at Liu Shi being slapped so fiercely, watching it made his heart ache. He hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"What are you doing It's just a name, and you can stop calling yourself that. Why be so harsh on yourself"

Feng Lingxi coldly swept her gaze over the Liu family, "Father is so protective of your second aunt, I wonder in Father's eyes, what does my mother, who you brought home with a great procession and won as your rightful wife, even amount to Titles don't matter, do they"

Wind Aotian saw her biting and wouldn't let go, his voice slightly cold.

"Xi'er, please stop this. Do you really have to push your second aunt to death"

Feng Lingxi couldn't help but sneer upon hearing her father's words, sarcastically looking at Liu Shi, "Second Aunt Does she even deserve the title Father, please don't forget, I am now the Fourth Princess. Even you, in terms of status, should measure your attitude when speaking to me."

Feng Ling Xi's words caused Feng Ao Tian's face to change slightly. He wanted to get angry, but he was held back by the presence of Du Gu Cheng.

Dugu City had been watching all along, but that didn't mean he didn't care.

"General Feng, Xi'er is this king's queen. While this might be a matter for the General's residence, Feng Lingyu's disrespect towards the queen is unacceptable to this king. I will not tolerate it. Come here, slap her!"

Feng Ling looked at Dugu City in surprise. She suddenly opened her mouth and punished him, which made Feng Ling somewhat puzzled about Dugu City's style of doing things. She thought she wouldn't interfere after all, because such matters weren't they backyard affairs, were they

His involvement was somewhat unexpected.

"Spare me, Your Highness! Spare me, Your Highness!"

Fēng Líng Yù heard that Dúgūchéng was going to attack her, and she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

Liu also knelt down, crying and pleading, "Wang Ye, please spare Lingyu this time."

"Hold on!"

A cold voice came, and everyone turned their heads to see a handsome and tall figure walking towards them. The person was none other than the prince, Dugu Yan.

"General, the Crown Prince has arrived."

The servants in the manor hurried to report and, seeing the Crown Prince who was following closely behind, they quickly retreated.

Dugu Yan walked over with her attendants, looked at the scene in front of her, greeted her, and her gaze fell on Dugu City.

"Fourth younger brother, could you please spare Second Miss this time for the sake of my reputation"

Wind Spirit Jade was overjoyed to hear the prince pleading for her.

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "What do you think, Xi'er"

"Since His Highness has asked you, this matter is up to you to decide."

Feng Lingxi held onto Zhang Shi, feeling the prince's gaze on her. She was very repulsed by it. She didn't like the way the prince looked at her, as if they had some ambiguous and inappropriate relationship.

The prince's gaze made Dugu City very uncomfortable. He brazenly looked at his woman and even asked him to let her go, it was ridiculous.

"I'll naturally give the young prince face, and sparing the second miss is no problem, but it has to be after she slaps herself." Dugu Cheng finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, he said coldly, "Make her slap herself ten times, don't hold back."

"Prince, save me."

Feng Lingyu was so frightened that her face lost its color. She cried for help, but before she could reach the Crown Prince, Feng Lingxi grabbed her and slapped her one after another with a crisp and loud sound. Ten slaps left Feng Lingyu dazzled, while Feng Lingxi's movements were smooth and swift, so fast that she didn't even give her a chance to cry.

"After the slap, let's go."

Feng Lingxi rubbed her palms, "Don't say it, the harder you hit, the more your own palm hurts."

Dugu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and looked at the redness on her palm with concern. He said, "Let Grandma handle it, why bother doing it yourself."

"Don't worry, my thick skin won't hurt you."

Feng Lingyu's face was beaten to look like a pig's head, and she cried out in pain.

"Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave." Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan who had been staring at her, and said coldly. Dugu Yan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Dugu Cheng. "Your Highness, Xi'er is this king's beloved wife, this king will take care of her myself. Hearing that Your Highness is going to marry Miss Feng, this king will not disturb you and General Feng from discussing matters. Farewell."

"Xi'er, let's go."

Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi's hand and left the garden. Dugu Yan watched Feng Lingxi leave and wanted to step forward, but Feng Aotien stopped her.

"Your Highness, forgive me for the inconvenience. Please come to the front hall for tea."

Dugu Yan coldly swept over Liu and Feng Lingyu, and said to Feng Aotiān, "General Feng, this palace reminds you, the emperor most detests the act of favoring concubines and destroying wives."

Feng Aotian's face changed drastically. He watched Dugu Yan's retreating figure, then looked at Feng Lingyu and Liu Shi, his expression complex.

"Grandpa..."

Liu just opened her mouth when Feng Aotian interrupted, "Get a doctor to take a look at her. Don't let her step out of the yard half a step, don't cause any more trouble."

After leaving a single sentence, Feng Aotian also left. In the garden, only Liu Shi and Feng Lingyu remained. Watching them leave, Liu Shi became enraged and raised her hand. Gazing at Feng Lingyu's face, swollen like a pig's head, she angrily exclaimed.

"I've told you countless times to stay away from Feng Lingxi, why don't you listen Can't you learn from your older sister If you keep acting like this, you'll eventually get us all killed."

If the master really didn't care for them, how would they get by in the future

At this moment, Liu really wished she could kill Feng Lingyu. Now, she could only rely on Linglong and her son.

Feng Lingxi helped Zhang Shi back to the courtyard. Looking at Zhang Shi's slightly pale face, he said, "Mother, you mustn't protect me like this in the future. If you anger Father, how will you stay in the General's Mansion This Liu Shi is not someone to be trifled with."

When she came out, her mother scolded Liu Shi harshly, fearing that if she was pushed too far, she would retaliate and hurt her. If something happened to her mother, she would truly lose her position in the General's mansion.

Zhang gently patted her on the back, soothing her. "Xi'er, don't be afraid. Mother knows what she's thinking. I'll take precautions. It's just that you've suffered, from childhood to adulthood, Mother hasn't been able to help you, your father doesn't love you either. Mother is truly useless, causing you so much pain."

"My lord, the emperor has spoken."he past, but now there's only a trace of anger in the tone.Feng Lingxi did not refute him, but turned to look at Dugu City, "You just said that the person behind Feng Yu Xi was not Dugu Xiu, but King...
