eing Dugu Cheng's reaction, suddenly felt something stirring within her."Fourth King, does my appearance match yours"A strange voice, a strange face. Dugu City looked at the woman before him, unsure i...Dugu City came out of the palace, coughing more frequently. Ye Xi quickly helped him onto the carriage.
"My lord, has the Empress Dowager agreed"
Dugu Cheng shook his head, "She said she needed to consider it. This king worries she'll send someone to Xier and take the child away."
The current Empress Dowager is no longer the mother she knew. Now, all she sees is power and status, blaming everything on Xi'er.
"What should we do Should we notify the Princess and ask her to be more careful"
"Keep watching Xi'er. Inform this king immediately if there's any news."
If he went to Xigu Kingdom now, the Empress Dowager would probably have him brought back. He couldn't risk it, and he couldn't let the Empress Dowager bring the child back either. Xi’er wouldn't agree to that.
Dugu City glanced at the palace behind him, "It seems I can only ask King Yu for help."
Now, besides King Youwang, it seems that no one else can get him out of here to Xigu Kingdom.
The servants sent by Lu Mansion helped clean up Yuan Mansion. Everything was tidied up, and the courtyard became much cleaner. Tao Su took Feng Siyu out to buy groceries, and Feng Lingxi went to the kitchen to cook. Feng Siqi, Feng Siyu, and Wan'er were playing in the yard, with Tao Su accompanying them. This dinner was personally cooked by Feng Lingxi for them. Although there were also cooks sent from Lu Mansion, they were refused. Feng Lingxi wanted to cook a meal for Wan'er.
"Si Yu Si Qi, come again."
Wan'er is quite skilled, after all, she is Luo Li's apprentice. She is three years older than the two of them. Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu went up together, she gave them pointers, and the three sparred. On the side, Yuan Xiu, the divine physician, began to doze off while watching, feeling that it was impossible to lose. Seeing that the two siblings combined were not Wan'er's opponent, he couldn't sit still, and his face turned bad.
As for Su Yue, she watched Wan'er's martial arts with great admiration.
Wan'er was exceptionally intelligent and quick to learn anything. Coupled with her diligent study over the years, she naturally wasn't inferior to those two young lads.
However, even though Wan'er was skilled, her fighting style wasn't as hard-hitting as Wind Siyu and Wind Siqi's. While her personal martial arts were much stronger than theirs, Wind Siyu's style was solid and reliable. Having learned from Yuan Xiuguan (the divine doctor), his techniques focused on practicality and power. Although he wasn't Wan'er's match in a fight, he was still considered one of the best among his peers.
"Wan'er."
The sound of Lu Nian’s voice came from the entrance. Feng Siyu and Feng Siqi glanced at each other, their little legs scurrying behind Yuan Xiushen, the divine physician, as they guardedly watched the man walk in. He was dressed in a blue robe, elegant and handsome.
"Uncle, how did you come here"
Waner stopped and wiped her sweat, watching Lu Nian walk in. The smile on his face was really fawning. If not for him bringing her here this time, she wouldn't even want to acknowledge him.
Lu Nian saw Wan'er getting angry and immediately put on a fawning expression.
"Young Master, I was wrong. I just came to see you. You know this already, don't you Life is harder for Uncle when you're not home than it is for Big Hei the gatekeeper dog."
Poof…
Feng Siqi laughed out loud, hurriedly covering her mouth with her hand. Lu Nian heard the sound and turned to look at Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu behind Yuan Xi Shen Yi. The appearance of the two made Lu Nian's eyes widen in astonishment, pointing at them.
"You... you all..."
"Si Yu Si Qi, he is Lu Jia's eldest son, Lu Nian. You can call him big uncle or Uncle Lu."
Wan'er introduced him, her tone laced with a hint of helplessness. If she had a choice, she'd rather call him uncle.
"Wan'er, aren't they your mother's children They look so much like her."
"Feng Siyu, Feng Siqi, my mother gave birth to me as dragon and phoenix twins."
As soon as Wan'er finished speaking, Lu Nian excitedly ran over, wanting to reach out, but was stopped by the scornful looks from the two people. Feng Siyu's whole body was like a porcupine, refusing Lu Nian to touch him at all, as if there was something wrong with him.
"How come Little Sister didn't tell us that the Lu family actually has another granddaughter."
Lu Nian's eyes were fixed on Feng Siqi. This unspeaking Feng Siqi stood there, her soft and cute face, with large eyes, just staring at Lu Nian. Her delicate features were incredibly adorable.
"Uncle, if you have any doubts, just ask my mother. She will tell you."
"Just to avoid getting beaten up," reminded Wan'er from behind.
Lu Nian's body stiffened, she hurriedly retracted her gaze and swallowed nervously.
"I'm not here to rob anyone, I'm just here to eat." After saying that, Lu Nian smirked and waved at Tao Su, but his eyes were full of displeasure. This guy actually lived with his sister. He came here just to keep an eye on this guy and prevent him from taking advantage of his sister.
"Grandpa, he doesn't seem very smart."
Feng Siqi whispered to Yuan Xiu, "Siqi doesn't like him."
Feng Siyu nodded in agreement, "He looks suspicious, like a bad guy. Really is the mother's brother"
Yuan Xiushen looked at Lu Nian carefully after being asked that, "Just as impolite as your mother, you must be siblings."
Lu Nian's lips twitched slightly, and she only then saw Yuan Xiu, the divine physician. She hurriedly bowed to him, "Senior, this junior was out of line. I was too excited and overlooked you. Please forgive me."
Yuan Xiu Shen Yi let out a cold snort, he wouldn't lower himself to his level.
Lu Nian felt embarrassed, looking at Yuan Xiu's god-physician attitude, she knew she had offended him. After all, she was a guest in her sister's house. Seeing Si Yu and Si Qi clinging to him like this, he must be the master her sister mentioned.
Originally, he was worried that his sister's master was a young man. Now, seeing that he was an old man with white hair, he felt relieved.
Yuan Xiu Shen Yi looked at Lu Nian staring at him like this, even more displeased.
"You young people are really not likeable at all, do you think I'm dirty because I'm old"
"Senior, please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you. I was thinking that the master mentioned by my younger sister at home must be you. My name is Lu Nian, and I apologize for the disrespect."
"Indeed, it is rude."
Yuan Xiu, the Divine Physician, didn't treat Lu Nian any differently because of her identity. His attitude remained the same.
Lu Nian's expression was slightly embarrassed.
"Young Master Lu, Xiaofeng is in the kitchen. Are you here to find her"
"The kitchen, wasn't I supposed to have them serve me here How is she even cooking"
Lu Nian was really in a hurry. Looking at Tao Su sitting there, she turned to Wan'er, "Take your uncle to the kitchen and have a look."
Tao Su immediately stepped forward, "Young Master Lu, let me lead you there."
He could feel Lu Nian's hostility towards him. Tao Su felt it was necessary to have a clear talk with him, so as to avoid more misunderstandings in the future.
"That's fine."
Lu Nian glanced at Wan'er and saw that the children were playing together again. She followed Tao Su out.
Tao Su watched him leave, then stopped and bowed to Lu Nianjiu respectfully. "Young Master Lu, I know what you're thinking, but please rest assured, I'm only staying here for a few days."
"Since you want to say it, I might as well be straightforward. Don't you really like my sister"
"I like Xiao Feng. She's my friend and has helped me a lot. Now she is willing to help me clear my name, I am very grateful to her."
>us, and it has nothing to do with them." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"Okay, I promise."Feng Lingxi stood with her back to him. Yao Chu turned to Feng Lingxi and b...
