Chapter 1302: Sparks of War

med her, causing her to become like this. Could there be some hidden truth to this"Have you ever thought, Xi'er, that Feng Lingyu might not be dead at all"Dugu Cheng's reminder made Feng Lingxi frown...."Madam Lu, our Princess came here today specifically to thank you for your generous donations to the people of Linxi County. If she accepted your gift, it would make it difficult for the people to view her favorably. Perhaps Madam Lu would reconsider accepting it." Xiao Li explained, watching the Princess's kind attitude towards Madam Lu, and her favorability towards Madam Lu grew even stronger in her heart.

She was... of the Lu family.

"Lu Fu ren, please take it back."

Feng Lingxi interrupted her, "If we accept this gift today, I'm afraid we won't be able to visit in the future."

Lu's wife hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Okay.

Feng Ling bowed her head and got into the carriage. The carriage left Lu's mansion, and Mrs. Lu stood there, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Mother."

When the four men of the Lu family saw Feng Lingxi leave, they finally dared to come out. Mrs. Lu saw them all looking dispirited, especially Lu Hao. The more she looked at him, the angrier she became. Although Lu Hao was middle-aged, he was still well-maintained and handsome like a young master. Besides his gaze towards Mrs. Lu being full of helplessness.

"You still have the face, each of you incompetent!"

"Mother, weren't you also unable to persuade your younger sister to recognize her father"

Lu Xuan curled his lips, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the forehead by Lu Hao, "How do you speak"

"It's all your fault! If I were Feng Ling Xi, I wouldn't recognize you as my father either. You have no backbone at all."

Mrs. Lu couldn't recognize her daughter and poured all the blame on Lu Hao. Lu Hao suffered with a pained expression, you could imagine how frustrated he was.

"If I had said about her and her daughter at the time, you wouldn't have let them into the house. Besides, Wan Ying would never agree to be a lowly wife in the Lu family."

"If you hadn't been so promiscuous, nobody would have gotten involved with you. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have had a daughter with you. You still have the nerve to say...you ruined her life and never acknowledged it. Now, she doesn't even recognize you as her father. It's just..."

Mrs. Lu raised her hand angrily, and Lu Hao hurriedly covered his head. At a glance, it was clear he had been beaten quite a bit.

Mrs. Lu didn't move, but glared at him irritably, "Just looking at you makes me angry. It doesn't matter what method you use, if our daughter doesn't want me, I won't want any of the four of you."

"Mother, what does this have to do with us This is all Father's doing, it's not our fault."

"Your brother is a stinky kid, you deserve a beating, don't you"

Lu Hao heard Lu Nian's words and really wanted to slap him, what kind of son did he raise

Lu's Madam looked at the four men and felt a surge of irritation. She glared at her three sons, Lu Nian and his brothers, "You three better remember this, if any of you dare to fool around, your old mother will cripple all three of you, hear me"

"Understood."

The three Lu brothers stood straight, their answers consistent.

This family motto, which they've been repeating since childhood, how could they possibly forget it This is also one of the reasons why the three of them haven't had a single woman by their side from young to old. Even their maidservants have all been replaced with male guards, staying close for safety and avoiding their mother's accusations of flirting or getting into trouble with women.

"They're all gone, just looking at them makes me uncomfortable."

Madam Lu recognized her daughter's failure and was unwilling to even see the four of them. She went directly back to her own courtyard.

"Father, you still have to think of a way. After all, this is trouble you caused, and your sister doesn't recognize you. You just need to figure something out." Their sons were really having a hard time right now.

"I'm going to go talk to her."

Lu Hao gathered his courage. He didn't believe it, he wouldn't be able to handle this daughter of his.

"Come on, Dad!"

The three brothers encouraged Lu Hao. Just a few steps later, Lu Hao suddenly stopped, looked at them and said, "I suddenly remembered that I promised to buy osmanthus cakes for your mother, and I haven't bought them back yet. You guys go ahead."

Lu Nian: "..."

Lu Yi and Lu Xuan looked at each other, their eyes meeting. They both clenched their fists and cracked their knuckles.

Pathetic!

Feng Lingxi came out of the Lu Mansion, thinking she would see Lu Hao today. Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Lu knew that she disliked Lu Hao and wouldn't let her come out.

"Your Highness, this Lady Lu seems not to be as insistent on you acknowledging her kinship as her son, Master Lu, claimed."

After all, I'm not her biological daughter. That's just how it is. If you were a parent who loved their daughter, wouldn't you also dislike your husband having a daughter with another woman Just like Feng Aotiān, he had love for his adopted mother, but when did he ever truly consider her his daughter

Men are like this, and women are no different.

At least she didn't feel like Mrs. Lu desperately wanted her daughter. Perhaps it was their misconception. Actually, Mrs. Lu didn't necessarily want her to acknowledge her ancestry; she just wanted to test her.

"You're right, but what Lady Lu said is quite tempting. Is the Lu family really that wealthy I wonder which country they're from and what they do for a living. The princess hasn't asked about them."

Xiao Li, who was watching from the side, had a clearer perspective. When Madam had initially instructed her to accompany the Princess, it was to ensure her well-being. Now that the Princess's biological father had appeared, along with another Mrs. Lu claiming to be the Princess's maternal aunt, she would not allow the Princess to call her "Auntie." If that were to happen, wouldn't it diminish Madam's status

"My relationship with the Lu family ends here. There's no need to go deeper, and there's no need for me to inquire about their family affairs or their nationality."

Feng Lingxi's voice was calm. "Xiao Li, I know Mother let you stay by my side to protect my safety. I understand that, and I won't disappoint her. I promised Mother, and I won't break my word."

"Your Highness, with so much money, you truly aren't tempted at all"

If this were another woman, she would have accepted it long ago. This wealth that could rival a country, how much money does he have!

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a faint smile, "How so In your eyes, am I this obsessed with money"

Of course not, the maidservant knows that the Princess has principles.

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Madam Lu's words are indeed tempting. If my mother hadn't told me before, I might have agreed. With such a large sum of money, the fifty thousand army's rations would be no problem, and Du Gucheng could feel much lighter. With the Lu family backing me, what could I possibly fear"

"Did the princess regret it"

Little Li asked cautiously, her gaze fixed on the smile playing at the corner of the princess's lips. If she were in that position, perhaps she would...

"There's nothing to regret. The Lu family's wealth wasn't earned by the wind. Do you think that just by acknowledging your ancestry can you get so much property With each added identity, the burden increases, just like the Yao Clan Saint Master. Although I didn't gain anything, I don't want and can't escape everything the Yao Clan represents."

She didn't want the identity of Miss Lu, she would just consider it as filial piety to her mother.

Xiao Li nodded in agreement, and what she said made sense.

To have a daughter like Princess Royal, this life is worth it.

"Xiao Li, although Xinshui returned to the Yao Clan of Ghost Saint Country, I'm not very reassured that her people might still be here. Luoli hasn't appeared these days, and before Fengyu Xi, she always followed Luoli. Recently, she hasn't been seen either. You should keep a close eye on things, and let me know immediately if you hear anything about her."ime to recover, it will naturally recover. Don't think about it, lest you get a headache."Huangpu Qingyun soothed, looking at Xi'er like this now, he truly selfishly didn't want Xi'er to recover her m...
