Chapter 67: Breaking the Bed (31)

gu City, you…"Feng Ling hurriedly covered her mouth, moving away from him. Watching him gently caress his lips and smile foolishly, she really wanted to slap him."What are you doing"I just suddenly f...Feng Lingxi heard Feng Linglong's words, a cold glint appeared at the corner of her lips.

She even dared to send her chicken soup, she's really bold.

"Xi'er…"

Zhang had just opened her mouth when Feng Lingxi interrupted, "Mother, since the second aunt has asked Eldest Sister to bring us chicken soup to nourish our bodies, there is no reason for us not to drink it."

Feng Lingxi took the chicken soup and placed it in front of her. She opened the lid, sniffed it, and smiled brightly.

"This chicken soup is so well-made. After a tiny sip, I praised, 'It tastes really good, Second Aunt, you're so thoughtful.' "

Seeing her daughter drink the chicken soup like this, Zhang shi was very worried. Xi'er had just said that there was something wrong with the chicken soup, but she drank it herself. She really didn't know what she meant.

Wind Linglong watched her drink it, smiling brightly like a flower, "Sister Si likes it well. This chicken soup was personally cooked by my mother for our mother. Our mother hasn't been feeling well these past two days and needs to replenish her body."

"You've really gone to great lengths, Second Auntie. But since I'm here today, let me have this chicken soup from Mother. I haven't had such delicious soup in ages. Be sure to have Second Auntie make another pot for you later."

Upon hearing this, Zhang became very flustered.

Feng Linglong saw Feng Lingxi wanting to grab the cup and drink, naturally she was delighted.

If Si Mei likes it, then I'll have my mother make another one for her.

Then I'll trouble you, elder sister.

Fēng Línglóng sat down beside her, watching as she scooped a bowlful, blew it cool, and drank it. Her beautiful eyes twinkled.

"Little Four, now that you are the esteemed Fourth Princess and the earliest among our sisters to marry, having found a beloved husband and showered with the love of the Fourth Prince, Elder Sister knows your Second Sister is foolish and presumptuous, wanting to steal your husband. But nonetheless, she is your sister after all. Could you, for the sake of our sisterhood, not hold a grudge against her"

Feng Lingxi put down the chicken soup in her hands, a puzzled expression on her face. "Big sister, what do you mean I've always treated second sister as my own sister. When she came to the manor and wanted to be the king's concubine, I agreed. It's just that I didn't expect her to drug herself and cause such a thing to happen."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, sighed, and couldn't even bring herself to drink the chicken soup.

"Older Sister, I know you must suspect that I harmed Second Sister…"

"No, no, no, little sister. You misunderstood, elder sister didn't mean that at all."

Feng Linglong hurriedly explained, "I know your second sister is quick-tempered. No one wanted this to happen. But now that it has, can you speak up for her in front of the Prince and ask him to take her in She's still from the王府, so if she's given to someone else as a concubine, how will your second sister live the rest of her life"

Feng Lingxi, hearing Feng Linglong's intention, couldn't help but sneer in her heart. No wonder she was so kind, it turned out that she had the idea of Dugu City.

I really don't know where she got the face to say such things.

"Sister, it's not that Xi'er is unwilling, but..."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, clutching the handkerchief in her hand. Her troubled expression made Feng Linglong even more nervous, so she hurriedly asked, "Xier, is there something you're reluctant to say"

"Sister, to be frank with you, as you know, Second Sister forced herself on a servant in the Fourth Prince's mansion. What happened is already common knowledge within the mansion."

"How is this possible Did the Fourth Prince just let this matter spread throughout the Fourth Prince's Mansion"

Feng Linglong was startled, breaking out in a cold sweat. Feng Lingxi looked at her like this, with an air of helplessness, and said, "Big sister, you don't know, this morning Second Sister's voice was too loud. She was seen by the maidservants in the house, and even the King's personal guard caught her cheating. By the time I found out, Second Sister had already been bound and brought out."

Feng Lingxi wore a pained expression, “I’ve always tried to help her, but Second Sister suspected me of harming her. She didn't even bother to talk to me before she poisoned herself and ruined her own reputation. I really have no choice; after all, it was the servant of the Fourth Prince who forced Second Sister.”

Feng Linglong's face became even uglier, hearing her words. She really wanted to slap Feng Lingyu to death. What a stupid idiot, she actually learned from them to drug Feng Lingxi! Did she think she could also overpower the Fourth Prince

Stupid, she really pissed me off.

Feng Lingxi looked at the anger swirling in Feng Linglong's eyes, holding her hand.

"Older sister, if I could help, I would have already helped. After all, I am now the Fourth Princess, and you are my own family. It is my duty to take care of you. But what Second Sister did was beyond my expectations."

Feng Linglong looked at her self-reproachful expression, completely unable to scold her, she could only swallow it back into her own stomach.

"Simei, it's truly hard on you. I never expected her to do such a foolish thing. Just let her be, marrying into a wealthy family as a concubine is at least arranged by the King himself. I believe life won't be too unbearable."

Feng Ling hurriedly said, "Elder sister, rest assured, I will definitely plead with the King to let the wealthy merchant treat second sister well. Believe in second sister's intelligence, perhaps one day she will even be able to climb to the position of a legitimate wife."

Feng Linglong couldn't laugh. Hearing her comforting words, she felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face.

"Xier, let's not talk about her anymore. As for you, after marrying into the Fourth Prince's Manor, you must take good care of yourself and give birth to a son as soon as possible to secure your position as the principal wife."

Feng Lingxi replied, "Many thanks for your concern, elder sister. Xi'er will remember your words and diligently give the Fourth Prince's Manor offspring."

Feng Linglong's smile froze for a moment on her face before quickly returning to normal. She actually took it seriously.

"Sister, have there been any developments with you and the prince"

Mentioning the crown prince, Feng Linglong smiled, “Father said that the emperor intends to bestow me upon the crown prince as a concubine. Although it's just a concubine position, this status of mine as a lowly daughter is also considered a high climb.”

"Sister, that's not right at all. What does it matter if she's a commoner daughter or a legitimate daughter Your talent, Sister, will surely win the prince's favor once you marry him. Perhaps even the position of Crown Princess will be yours."

Feng Linglong smiled, "The position of Crown Princess is not easy to do. Big sister wouldn't dare to think about it. Big sister just hopes to be able to stay by the Crown Prince's side, and big sister would be satisfied."

Feng Lingxi looked at her demure and virtuous appearance, if she hadn't known her true nature, she almost would have believed it.

This Dugu Yan, before she said that she was the only one she wanted, now it seems that she can't escape the emperor's arranged marriage. If this Feng Linglong enters the East Palace, she will sooner or later make a move against her. It seems that the position of Crown Princess is very popular.

"Mother, I have something else to do so I won't disturb your chat with Fourth Sister. I'll bring you some chicken soup later."

Wind Linglong blessed her body, and left the courtyard.

Zhang saw Feng Linglong leave and hurriedly pushed away the chicken soup, "Xier, how could you be so foolish Didn't you say that there was..."

"Mother, there's no need to worry. Xi'er is skilled in medicine and knows exactly what can and cannot be eaten. Besides, there's nothing wrong with this chicken soup today." watched Feng Lingxi lying there in pain, and quickly said, "I just wanted to give her a name, she didn't like it, so I asked her what she liked, and then she suddenly clutched her head and pounded on...
