Chapter 1089 Ghost Saint Country 50

to the point where she almost lost her life."Wǎn'er, do you think Mama is scary and frightening"Wan'er stepped forward and hugged Feng Lingxi's neck, kissing her face, "Mother, don't cry, Wan'er hugs..."Your Highness, when I came out, I heard that the Imperial Noble Consort was going to select a new wife for Your Royal Highness. Are you really coming out Aren't you going back to stop her"

"Is the Lord at home"

Feng Lingxi led Wan'er, looking at the vendors on both sides of the street. During her absence, the people of Linxi County seemed to be living better than before. This bustling market was no worse than the prosperous capital city.

"Ye Xi and the King went to the military camp early in the morning."

"That's it, even the Prince doesn't care, why should I Besides, I can't control it. I said no to taking a concubine, but Empress Dowager Shu insisted. She stayed in the manor, watched as they chose a concubine, and argued with me, adding to my troubles."

Feng Lingxi was quite open-minded. Even though Dugu City didn't care about Shu Taifei's entry into the palace, she didn't feel the need to interfere. She didn't want to cause trouble and make everyone unhappy, putting Dugu City in a difficult position.

Xiao Li's eyes were filled with worry.

The Queen is actually quite understanding about this. If the King truly sought out many women to serve him, the Queen's heart would undoubtedly be filled with pain, and she wouldn't be able to bear it.

"It's said that Taifei Shu is going to choose a bride for the Prince. Even though there's such a good princess as the Fourth Princess, she still wants to choose someone else. I wonder what Taifei Shu is thinking."

“All she thinks about is having grandchildren. This Prince has no son, so there's no one to inherit the title. Naturally, the Imperial Noble Consort is worried. I heard that the Princess hasn't been able to conceive a second child yet. The Imperial Noble Consort is unhappy with her, and they've argued several times this time. Apparently, she doesn't even recognize the Princess as a daughter-in-law.”

Don't talk nonsense, the feelings between the princess and the prince are not something ordinary people can understand.

In the teahouse alleyways, whispers and hushed conversations swirled around Feng Lingxi and Dugu City. News of this spread throughout Linxi County, becoming common knowledge. Everyone knew that Taifei Shu was planning to arrange a marriage for Dugu City, so naturally, gossip ran rampant.

Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li were drinking tea at a teahouse, listening to the discussion around them without taking it to heart.

But little Li couldn't keep her temper, listening with a huff.

How did your investigation go

Wind Lingxi saw Xiaoli wanting to get up, pressed her hand and asked.

Xiao Li looked at the princess, "Really don't care about them, let them gossip about the princess like this"

They weren't wrong, so why bother arguing You can't stop them, and you can't stop everyone else either.

Feng Lingxi gave Wan'er a piece of pastry and fed it to her.

"The common people are actually quite good to me. If someone really wanted to enter the manor, we could stop one, but we couldn't stop two."

Why bother making things difficult for yourself.

"I had someone look into it, and this Qing He does indeed have a gambler for a father. However, just two days after we saved her, he suddenly died."

"So, Qing He actually exists"

Feng Lingxi frowned, seeing Xiao Li's response, becoming even more puzzled.

This Qing He really exists, then how did her father die Is it related to those gambling den people

"Know which casino it is Let's go take a look."

Xiao Li nodded, "It's the gambling den with money in the county."

"He sounds pretty wealthy."

Feng Lingxi picked up Wan'er, “Let’s go take a look.”

Xiao Li led the way, carrying Wan'er to the entrance of the gambling den. Many people's eyes were on Feng Lingxi and the child in her arms, whispering to each other.

Feng Lingxi's identity was not unfamiliar in the county. When he entered the gambling den, the owner immediately stepped forward, bowing and scraping respectfully to greet him.

"Fourth Princess, what brings you here today What is your purpose"

In the bustling casino, Wan'er was very excited, her eyes darting around constantly.

"Boss, there's something I want to ask you."

Xiao Li took out a silver ingot and handed it to the gambling den owner, but the owner refused to accept it.

"Fourth Royal Princess, if you have any questions, just give the order. It is my fortune to serve the princess, I don't need any reward. Fourth Royal Princess, please go upstairs and talk."

The casino owner led Feng Lingxi to a VIP room on the second floor, having people serve tea and water. He was extremely hospitable.

"Boss, I'm here today to inquire about someone."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and the gambling den owner hurriedly smiled and said, "Fourth Princess, if you have any orders, I will definitely help as best I can."

"You can get to know a girl named Qinghe. Her father often comes to your gambling den and loses. You have people capture Qinghe to pay off his debts, but she escapes."

Feng Lingxi's words caused the gambling den owner to frown. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll have someone check. There are too many gamblers in this den, and I can't remember them all."

Please.

The casino owner left, and Xiaoli looked at Feng Lingxi with some worry.

"Your Highness, are you sure this casino owner will really help us What if he's deliberately trying to hide something"

"You'll find out later."

Her character shouldn't be that bad.

The casino owner soon returned, followed by a burly man. After entering, he hurriedly bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Chen Can pays his respects to the Fourth Princess."

"No need for ceremony, just stand up and speak."

"Fourth Royal Consort, I've inquired. Qing He's father, Zhao the First, is under Chen Chan's responsibility."

The casino boss finished speaking, and Chen Chan hurriedly replied, “To the Fourth Princess, this Zhao Da really does have a daughter named Qing He. I did indeed capture her to the Qing Lou ten days ago, but she escaped.”

"This Qinghe was saved by me. I came today to confirm whether this Qinghe is really the daughter of Zhao Da."

"This..."

The casino owner looked at Chen Chan, prompting him to answer. Chen Chan hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, Zhao Da's wife gave birth to three daughters. Before, it was said that all three daughters were married. Later, Zhao Da somehow came up with a daughter named Qing He, claiming to pledge her as collateral for a debt. That's why the little one would take Qing He to the Blue Tower."

So, this Qing He is Zhao Da's fourth daughter

Feng Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, seeing Chen Can nod, she was full of doubts.

This Qing He really has a ghost, this Zhao Lao Da must have been bought by Qing He, he died suddenly, could it be because of gambling debts

"This Zhao Laodai..."

He died suddenly a few days ago, and he still owes us money.

As soon as Chen Chan finished speaking, the casino owner slapped him, signaling that he shouldn't be so rude in front of Feng Lingxi.

"Qing He committed suicide by biting her tongue yesterday at the mansion. I came here today to ask her parents about it and to meet them."

“They’re all gone. The little one heard that Qinghe’s mother was sold to another man as a concubine. The old master’s wife was unhappy about it and had her mother killed. The other sisters were also abandoned by their in-laws because of their mother being sold, so they hanged themselves and died.”

Chen Can's words sent chills down everyone's spine. Such things happened all the time in this gambling den; they were used to it.

"All dead"

Xiaoli couldn't believe it. Seeing Chen Chan nod affirmatively, she looked at Feng Lingxi. This was obviously covering something up. How could they just kill several lives as if it were nothing

"Fourth Royal Wife, is there anything else you wish to ask I will answer any question I know."

Chen Can was respectful towards Feng Ling Xi, this Fourth Royal Princess. Even though they were both from the gambling halls, he held her in high esteem and admiration.oked at her silently, not a word, like a child who had done something wrong. It was heartbreaking to watch.獨孤城見風淩這般的模樣，轉而語氣溫和的對田小米說，“你先出去吧，我和她說說。”Xi'er's situation was indeed as Ye Xi had said. Even t...
