Chapter 1102: Ghost Saint Country 63

me, would you"When Dugu Cheng was about to answer, Feng Yu Xi burst into tears and said, "I know my appearance now makes you very embarrassed, but I really have nowhere to go. I..." Feng Yu Xi cried..."What do you mean by that"

The Shu Taifei’s whole demeanor had gone sour, her voice rising in agitation.

"Do you think I would harm Cheng'er He is my son. Do you think, like you, so selfish, to keep Cheng'er, would you beat the concubine that I married him"

Faced with Shu Taifei's accusation, Feng Lingxi endured it with great difficulty.

She talked for ages, and Shu Taifei brought up the two concubines again.

"If a person is not here, you should find them yourself. I won't help."

Feng Lingxi decided to ignore Shu Taifei, after all, as the biological mother of Dugu City, a quarrel would spread rumors and who knows what kind of stories they would tell.

But she wanted to leave, and Shutai refused to let her, blocking her.

"You're not going anywhere. You can't leave until you release the city."

Feng Lingxi clasped her arms, looking at Shu Taifei's imposing appearance. "Since that's the case, Shu Taifei might as well come to my house and sit down, waiting patiently."

"You think the Empress fears you Just go in."

Feng Lingxi stepped into the manor. The steward hurried forward, looking at Shu Taifei behind her, hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, the patriarch ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter this main house except members of the Yao clan."

"She's not a stranger, let her in."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, and without looking back, she went inside. Shutai was supported by the two new concubines as they entered the main hall. The steward looked at them with an unfriendly attitude.

The Shutai Fei is waiting here, she will see Your Majesty after His Holiness bathes and changes.

"Whoever wants to see her, I'll summon her here."

Shu Taifei let out a cold snort, glanced at the mansion that rivaled the Prince's residence, her eyes full of displeasure.

"Butler, tea and good service."

Feng Lingxi hadn't walked far when she turned back and gave an order. Then, she returned to the courtyard. Shangguan Huan followed behind her, his expression stern.

"The two people beside Shu Taifei should be the ones chosen from the 28."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking of the two women. Compared to the previous two, they were much calmer. It seemed that getting to know them would be more worthwhile.

The two of them walked with light steps, not like ordinary girls.

"Shangguan, could you help me investigate where these twenty-eight women are from I think it would be easier for you to check individually."

Shengguan Huan understood her meaning and nodded in agreement.

"I'll be right there, but I have to go through the back door."

"Be careful."

After Shangguan Huan left, Feng Lingxi returned to the house, changed her clothes, and went to the front hall. Shu Taifei had come to visit her. If she didn't receive her, it wouldn't be appropriate. This might give rise to another scandalous rumor tomorrow.

"Imperial Concubine Shu, this place is much better than the Prince's Manor."

On the left side of Empress Shu's seat, a concubine opened her mouth, her eyes sweeping over the surroundings, her stunning face full of envy. "Is this mansion bought by the King for his wife It's truly magnificent."

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the headquarters of the Yao clan."

The steward coldly corrected her from the side, looking at this delicate and vain woman with disgust. Naturally, her attitude wasn't good to begin with.

"Is this how all the people of your Yao tribe treat guests"

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, and her tone was displeased.

"I am not here to find you. I only ask that you surrender the city, and we will leave at once."

The steward cast a cold glance over the crowd. Zhang You hurried forward, bowing to the steward with a smile, "Steward, I shall attend to Tai Fei Shu."

Zhang You had someone serve Empress Shu with tea and pastries, his attitude was very respectful. The steward whispered a few words in Zhang You's ear, then went about his business.

"Your Majesty remembers you, you are the steward Feng Lingxi promoted."

Shutai looked at Zhang You, "You still have a daughter."

Zhang Youwei was astonished, and quickly accompanied her with a smile, saying, “It's all thanks to the Duchess that I, a lowly person, could secure a position. My daughter Yueyue can also serve the County Princess.”

"What county princess, this empress doesn't acknowledge this granddaughter. Where did she get her county princess status."

Zhang You still smiled and said, "Tai Fei Shu may not know this. This county princess is just our way of addressing her. The Princess does not allow us to call her county princess on a daily basis. A young county princess has a noble status, so 'county princess' is the most casual way we address her."

Zhang You's words caused Shu Taifei's face to change drastically. She angrily questioned, "What do you mean by the most casual address Could it be that the county princess's identity has wronged her"

"The Empress Dowager may not know, but the young princess prefers to be called 'Little Witch.'"

Zhang Yu these words were all taught to him by the people at his home when he arrived, at least he couldn't let Shu Taifei underestimate anyone from the Yao Clan General Residence.

"He really is a disciple of Feng Lingxi, what a disgrace."

"My daughter, of course, was raised by me."

Feng Lingxi's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for everyone present to hear.

When Zhang You saw Feng Lingxi arriving, he stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Go get some food, I'm a little hungry."

Zhang You responded and stepped back.

Feng Lingxi walked to Shu Taifei's side and sat down, looking at the two concubines on her left and right. Her beautiful eyes fell on them, examining them carefully. They were indeed fair-skinned, beautiful, and tall. But, how could such stunning faces be so common in a small place like Linxi County

"Well, are you jealous seeing them prettier than you"

The Imperial Noble Consort coldly glanced at Feng Ling Xi, before she even opened her mouth, and continued, "Even if you're jealous, you have no right. These two haven't done anything to provoke you. This old woman doesn't believe that you can do anything to them."

Feng Lingxi curled her lips and suddenly smiled.

The Empress Dowager looked at her reaction and became angry.

"What do you mean by that, mocking me"

The maids on both sides hurriedly persuaded, "Shutai concubine please calm down, Sister Princess..."

"Please address me as 'Lord,' or else I will have you beaten."

Feng Lingxi blushed. Her lips slightly parted, the coldness in her eyes made both concubines' faces change, they hurriedly changed their address to "Your Majesty."

Feng Lingxi's expression finally looked a little better. Looking at Shu Taifei's livid face, she was genuinely curious, where did this Dugu Cheng go Wasn't the military camp settled

Why won't anyone come back to handle these matters If it weren't for Lady Shu's amnesia, she would have driven them all out.

It's such a pain to deal with this.

"Your Imperial Highness has come to my manor today. Surely, you're not here to quarrel with me"

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and watched Zhang You bring the bird's nest. Looking at the two concubines beside him, she didn't seem flustered at all. In this city, even women of high status rarely eat this tonic.

Could it be that their days in the manor are truly blissful, even more comfortable than mine as the Princess Are they being pampered with bird's nest and ginseng soup

"The Empress has come to find the prince."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, blew on the bird's nest in her soup spoon, and said softly, "Noble Consort Shu, don't you know that Duke Duguo never came to my residence He's currently at the military camp now. If you want to find him, you have to go there."

"You still have the face to say, who is in charge of the military camp now If I could go to the military camp, I would come here to find you."

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, looking at Shu Taifei's angry gaze, and tightened her brow. "What does Shu Taifei mean Didn't I stop you from going to the military camp"easures of the Yao clan, then the unification of the world under the Yuan dynasty would be just around the corner."Empress Dowager Cen's eyes were full of expectation. If she weren't a woman, this thr...
