Chapter 1445: Smoke Rises 266

."The guards who were arrogant just a moment ago instantly cowered. When had they ever seen Dugu City take action to protect others His actions just now clearly showed that he was protecting Feng Ling..."Madam, could you please inquire how long this family heirloom has existed"

If the Yao people are truly related to the Lu family's ancestors, then wouldn't this crystal also belong to the Yao people

Mrs. Lu nodded, "I'll ask your grandma for you. I'll definitely give you a result when you come back next time, but I don't know if your grandma knows it clearly."

"Thank you, Madam. No matter the result, I am content just to have asked."

Mrs. Lu responded, for this heirloom matter, tonight, sleep was definitely out of the question.

Feng Ling's phenomenon in the room was seen by many servants in the Lu family. Not only that, but many people throughout the entire capital city saw this shocking purple light that shot into the clouds. Although it was just a momentary flash, it was astonishing and even led to much speculation.

Purple air comes from the east, this purple air is the symbol of the royal family. This news reached the palace of Xi Gu Guo, and the whole country was abuzz. As soon as Lu family's eldest lady returned home, her house emitted purple light. This must be a sign of good fortune. People suggested writing petitions, believing that Lu family's eldest lady is the best candidate to be the imperial grandson's wife.

However, these Feng Lingxi didn't know, nor did she know that the crystal stone she discussed with Mrs. Lu would bring her so much trouble.

"No more messing around, time to go to sleep, I need to slow down."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly put the crystal stone away, Feng Lingxi was also frightened. What happened today really gave her a headache, it seemed she still had to ask about what was going on.

When her mother first gave her the Zi Xing, she had Zi Xing recognize its owner. This heirloom of the Lu family just happened to have a hole in it, and it seemed that Zi Xing was the key to the crystal stone.

The next day, Feng Lingxi and Tao Su left Lu's house early in the morning. After they left, an imperial edict arrived at the palace, but it was still a step late. The people were already gone, and the Lu family truthfully reported Feng Lingxi's intentions this time. It also happened to allow the court to investigate Tao Su's case. In order for Feng Lingxi to enter the palace next time, the court generously re-investigated Tao Su's case and the massacre of the Tao family.

Feng Lingxi and Tao Su rode in a carriage out of the city, all the way being careful and afraid of being followed.

After all, the people in the counterfeit market are commoners. They are all worried that someone with bad intentions will follow them. When something happens, it will be too late for them to regret it. Therefore, whether it is Feng Lingxi or Tao Su, they are especially careful on their way back.

"Little Wind, can the Lu family really help us clear our names I'm thinking of going to Guo to live. When you return to the Lu family, I'll go to the Lu mansion and work as a servant."

Chang Ming chuckled, after spending a day at the Lu family yesterday, he was famished. The Lu family truly lived up to their reputation as the first aristocratic family of Xi Gu. It was just like visiting a prince's mansion; even a simple meal was more lavish than the Emperor's banquet, enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

If he could get to the Lu family, even if it was just to do odd jobs, he would be willing.

"I am the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family."

Feng Lingxi looked into Chang Ming's expectant eyes. Although it was cruel, she still interrupted his thoughts.

"If you really want to stay in the capital, of course you can. As for your affairs, the Lu family promised to help and will definitely do so."

Tao Su nodded in agreement. Looking at Chang Ming's disappointment in his eyes, he said, "Don't always think about going to work for the Lu family, Xiao Feng has helped us so much, if she doesn't go back, what use is there for you to go there"

“Xiaofeng, even though you're a illegitimate daughter, the Lu family treats you like their own. The old matriarch and patriarch are so kind to you, why don't you go back” Changming sighed, if he were in your shoes, he would have gone back long ago.

This is a young lady from the Lu family, letting herself be treated like this and wandering around Has she never known hardship before

"My mother won't let me."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, “I promised her, I won’t acknowledge the people of the Lu family.”

"Xiao Feng, you mustn't take Chang Ming's words to heart. He just speaks that way, there's no other meaning behind it. Don't dwell on it."

Changming, hearing Tao Su's words, eagerly agreed.

"I was just kidding, Xiaofeng, don't mind it. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. From now on, we'll follow you wherever you go."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looking at the two of them. Following her, what good days could they have

"Xiao Feng, I heard from Lord Lu that your eldest daughter is coming here. When the time comes, will you be going back to Dayuan with her"

Feng Lingxi's body trembled slightly, meeting Tao Su's concerned gaze and nodding.

"Go back, I have my own life to live. This is not my home, where Wan'er is, that is my home."

Tao Su nodded, he also knew that asking her these questions wasn't appropriate, but he was still very curious. Why would a woman like her divorce her husband They already had three children.

"Ask me anything, we're friends after all. Don't you think it's hard to keep it bottled up"

Tao Su was taken aback for a moment, a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm just very curious. Master Lu and Mrs. Lu told me a lot about you, and I admire you very much. There are some things I want to ask you."

"It's fine, ask away."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su's conflicted expression, shrugged nonchalantly as if it was nothing. Since he had already found out, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"You and your husband have already had three children, why do you still want to divorce him Is he really that bad"

"Si Yu Si Qi, he doesn't know they exist, and besides, he owes me. No matter how many children I have, no matter my age, I will choose to leave him. I will not share a husband with another woman."

Feng Ling Xi's words shocked Tao Su. Which man from a wealthy family wouldn't have three wives and four concubines Not to mention, her man was still the Prince.

"Xiao Feng, few men only marry one wife."

Tao Su spoke in a low voice, watching Feng Ling Xi's self-deprecating smile, and hurriedly said, "It's not that there isn't, it's just that... men of noble status, they are all usually with three wives and four concubines..."

“My principle is that I won’t allow my man to be like Feng Ling. Moreover, I told him this at our wedding. And thank you for not telling the Lu family about Si Yu and Si Qi's identities.”

Feng Lingxi interrupted Tao Su, and she still admired Tao Su's character very much. Some people would try to curry favor with those in power. If they revealed the matters of Si Yu and Si Qi, they could gain many benefits. However, both Tao Su and Chang Ming did not do so.

"You're right, there aren't many men who wouldn't want three or four wives, but women like you are truly rare. You're so brave and independent, it's admirable."

Tao Su bowed towards Feng Lingxi, his eyes sincere, which made Feng Lingxi feel a little embarrassed.

"Let's just wait for news up on the mountain. We'll have to go check in a few days anyway."

Chang Ming hurriedly raised his hand and spoke in a hurry.

"Xiao Feng, I can go down the mountain to scout for information for you. You can decide when to come down later."

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then I'll trouble you." think she would go if you asked her"Du Gu Cheng didn't trust Feng Yu Xi. He couldn't fathom the depth of her hatred towards Xi Er. Right now, he was unaware of everything that had transpired, all he...
