As soon as these words were spoken, it further enraged Dugu Xiu, who glared at Feng Aotian, "You just stay here and guard me, I want you to see with your own eyes how I personally destroy the kingdom...A silver note slapped onto the table. Lu Nian looked at the young waiter, "Kick them out, this silver note is yours."

The young man glanced at the 100 taels of silver on the table, his heart moved, but he didn't agree.

"Those distinguished guests…"

Lu Nianpa took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels, "Buy this inn. It's more than enough. Don't let them come in."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes had been fixed on them since they entered the room. The newcomers were none other than the very Duke of Chen, Dugu Cheng, whom they had just been discussing, along with his attendants and his consort, Luo Qin Yi.

Dugu Cheng never expected that he would meet Feng Lingxi in this way after arriving in Mingde Town.

The inn wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. After entering, he coughed a few times, covering his nose with his sleeve. He felt a scorching gaze fixed on him. Raising his eyes, he saw Feng Lingxi standing straight in front of him at a short distance, staring intently at him.

Their eyes met, and in Dugu City's gaze were astonishment, joy, excitement, his eyes refusing to blink, afraid that the illusion before him would vanish the moment he did.

Feng Lingxi hadn't expected that Mingde Town was this big. She had just arrived and bumped into Dugu City in this small inn. Looking at him, in his white clothes and white hair, with a pale face full of sickness, he didn't look anything like the radiant person she had seen five years ago. This sickly appearance almost made her unable to recognize him.

Five years had passed, and time hadn't aged him, but it had turned his hair white, and his once rosy, handsome face had become pale and bloodless with illness.

Luo Qin'yi, upon seeing Feng Lingxi, thought she was seeing things. The wife her master had searched for five years was right here, and with her were a group of people - children and men, all unfamiliar faces. Luo Qin'yi was filled with questions.

"Your Highness..."

Ye Xi rushed forward excitedly, looking at Feng Lingxi, her eyes red with excitement. "Is it really you My subordinate isn't dreaming, is he"

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Xi. She wanted to refuse his recognition, but Su Yue behind her had already stepped forward to greet Dugu City.

"I have met the Prince of Chen."

Dugu Cheng seemed not to have heard, just stared at Feng Ling Xi, the excitement in his heart was beyond words, he didn't dare to blink, afraid that in the next second, Xi Er would disappear.

"Xiao Feng, do you know them"

Tao Su heard Ye Xi call Feng Lingxi's wife, and looking at the handsome young man in white clothes and white hair before him, he immediately understood.

He should be Xiao Feng's husband. I didn't expect to meet him here.

Upon hearing Tao Su's name, Du Gu Cheng shifted his gaze to him. Looking at the man before him, he saw a handsome face, not much different in age from his own. Dressed in white with black hair and a sword strapped to his waist, this was the attire of a wandering swordsman - elegant and dashing.

"Let's go."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and the group of people hurriedly got up and left. Seeing Feng Lingxi about to leave, Dugu Cheng quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Xier."

Feng Lingxi's steps did not stop, Dugu City grabbed her arm, Feng Lingxi stopped, lowered her head, and stared at Dugu City with cold eyes who was holding her wrist, her voice as ice, "This young master, please be respectful."

Cold eyes, a strange tone, Dugu City's body stiffened. He reluctantly took his hand off her arm and looked at Feng Lingxi's icy gaze. He couldn't help but cough, and Dugu City hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hand.

Feng Lingxi, however, at the moment when she let go of Dugu City's hand, quickly left the inn.

"Sister, why must we leave Why are you giving the inn to him"

Lu Nian glanced at the inn behind him. This was the best inn in Mingde Town.

I don't want to see him.

This is just a placeholder.

Feng Lingxi’s tone was icy as she said, “Find another inn. If there isn't one available, we'll find a house and buy it. We're going to be staying here for a while anyway.” Feng Lingxi spoke first, Lu Nian was about to refuse when Tao Su agreed.

"I just went to scout around and saw an inn over there, not many people."

Let's go.

Feng Lingxi's attitude was cold, her whole body radiating displeasure. Anyone with eyes could see that Feng Lingxi was unhappy. Lu Nian tried several times to speak, but Feng Lingxi's attitude shut him up.

Wan'er kept talking about Su Yue along the way, blaming her for not greeting Dugu Cheng and making their mother unhappy.

Su Yue was scolded so much that she didn't dare to say a word. Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi were seeing their biological father for the first time, but before they could get a good look, he left again.

However, their father seemed to not even glance at them. The expressions on the faces of the two siblings weren't any better either.

"Little wind."

Tao Su carried in the food, “You didn’t eat anything today, this is what I brought you, eat some first.”

"Thank you."

Feng Lingxi said thank you, but she didn't move.

"When I went to gather information today, I learned that your grandfather's condition is very serious. The Feng family is looking for doctors everywhere, even resorting to itinerant healers. The situation is not optimistic at all."

When Feng Ling Xi heard about her grandfather's serious condition, she reacted, holding a bowl and hurriedly eating rice, "Who is in the Feng family now"

"Your foster father is here, and so are your younger siblings."

Tao Su pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you figured out how to get to the Feng family Are you going to take your children with you directly, or go to see your grandfather first and treat his illness"

"I'll be going to Feng's house tomorrow, I just don't want to see Dugu City."

Feng Lingxi put down her chopsticks, losing all appetite. Her mind was filled with the image of Du Gucheng left in her memory.

In just five years, he had fallen to such a state. He remarried and tortured his own body. Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng and only wanted to keep her distance from him. She didn't want to see him and feel sympathy for him, fearing she couldn't control herself and save him.

Why don't you want to see him

Tao Su looked at Feng Lingxi, "Is it because you can't let go of the past, or are you afraid that he knows you gave him a son and a daughter"

"It's nothing, I just don't want to see him."

Feng Lingxi looked at Tao Su, "Let's not mention him anymore. I want to rest. Tomorrow I'll go to the Feng family to see grandpa. You've worked hard today, get some rest early."

Tao Su cleared the dishes and went out, looking at Lu Nian standing at the door. She shook her head at him. Lu Nian glanced inside the house and sighed.

She's such a persistent little fool.

Xiaofeng still couldn't let go of her husband, but he now had another woman by his side. No wonder Xiaofeng was so sad. If any woman gave birth to three children for a man only to be abandoned in the end, who wouldn't feel resentment

Sometimes seeing is not believing.

Lu Nian glanced at Feng Lingxi's room. "Your sister doesn't want to see Dugu Cheng because she's afraid she won't be able to control herself and wants to help Dugu Cheng recover. He's so weak now, she feels pity for him."

"Prince Chen, what kind of person is he"

Tao Su looked at Lu Nian, "Does he really deserve Xiao Feng's love You said that seeing is not necessarily believing, but the woman beside him holding his arm, she doesn't seem to have any relationship with him at all."

Although Tao Su had never been married, he understood the principle of propriety between men and women.

>he face that looked very similar to her own had lost its childishness and gained a touch of maturity, rushing to her front and hugging her tightly, almost reaching her chest.Feng Ling Xi's heart felt...
