Chapter 1108 Ghost Saint Country 69

on Feng Lingyu's face, causing her to stare in horror and faint."Wind howls."Feng Aotien stepped forward and slapped her with his hand. Before the slap could land, his wrist was seized by a forceful...Feng Lingxi innocently shrugged her shoulders, watching Taifei Shu's angry expression. It seemed that even after losing her memory, she still cared about Duguo City. It looked like, as long as they followed this lead, Taifei Shu could still be persuaded back to them.

"This is a matter of repaying debts, it's only natural. If he can't pay, then he'll just have to sell himself to me."

Looking at Feng Lingxi's innocent eyes, Dugu Cheng's smile deepened at the corner of his lips. His gaze was so doting it could drip water. Xi'er is becoming more and more intelligent, it seems she has found a way to deal with her mother concubine.

Thus, it's better this way. He can focus on dealing with Feng Aotian and prevent him from disturbing Xi'er's life.

"No, he is the Prince..."

"What's the Lord Master doing He owes me so much money, he has to pay it back, right"

Feng Lingxi twirled a strand of Dugu City's hair, raised her eyes, and smiled playfully.

"If I didn't, wouldn't I be the one who suffered A million taels of silver is no small sum. If Dugu City wasn't clear about it, I wouldn't even know that I was so wealthy. I spent money to raise him and his army of 500,000."

Feng Lingxi's words made Shu Taifei anxious.

"Your Majesty, I haven't asked you for any money. This was all done willingly."

"If he's my husband, then I willingly accept it. Once that's not the case, things are different. If I don't get back these one million taels of silver, where will I get the money to raise a new young mistress" As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a pinch on her waist. Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng's warning gaze and rolled her eyes.

This is all fooling Empress Dowager, why pinch her.

It hurts so much.

When Dugu City heard about the man being raised by someone else, a dark expression appeared on his handsome face. He cooperated with her act and wanted to use his money to support his little white face.

It seems like it's time for her to have a child, so she won't be thinking about other men anymore.

"That's enough!"

Shutai concubine glared at Feng Lingxi, "Don't you just want this old woman to send those women away and acknowledge you as the daughter-in-law"

"There's no need to feel wronged, Shu Taifei. If you don't wish to acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law, you can simply return the money…"

As soon as the words left her lips, she felt a tightening in her waist again. Feng Lingxi winced in pain and looked at Dugu City. What was he doing

Dugu Cheng's eyes were full of warning. If she dared to say that again, she wouldn't be able to leave the house tomorrow.

"My son, I accept her as my daughter-in-law."

Seeing her son unable to lift his head because of this comparison, the Shutai concubine couldn't bear to wrong her son. No matter what, she would handle this alone and take responsibility for it herself.

Thank you, Mother.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi's smug expression, his eyes darkened slightly. It seemed he had worried too much; his mother was no match for Xi'er at all.

There’s one more thing, Mother Empress. We need to figure it out. After all, we support half a million soldiers and the entire Yao Clan; expenses are enormous. We really need to save money and can't afford to give Du Gucheng another concubine.

Feng Lingxi's words fell, and Shu Taifei turned her eyes to Feng Lingxi. Meeting her innocent gaze, she took a deep breath.

"Send all the concubines in the household away."

"Everyone will be compensated with ten taels of silver."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly said, "Shu Taifei heard the ten taels of silver, her face darkened, 'Such a small amount of silver, if it gets out, wouldn't it..."

"Mother, my son has no more silver. Otherwise, let's pawn this jade pendant to compensate them."

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, only to see her clenching her little fingers, her eyes even more helpless.

"Mother concubine, our household expenses are large. Ten taels of silver is a lot, over twenty. Besides, Du Gucheng didn't even glance at them. He just gave them ten taels of silver the day they entered the house. It's really quite a bit."

Shutai Fei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, she was truly stingy.

I thought about my current situation and held back.

She couldn't allow Cheng'er to lose face in front of her.

"Fine, it's your money anyway. Do whatever you want with it."

Then, let's make it ten taels of silver. Send them out of the house right now so as not to delay the young ladies in choosing their husbands.

Dugu Cheng winked at Ye Su beside him, signaling him to handle the matter.

"You may leave now."

The Imperial Noble Consort Shu really was tired. This Feng Lingxi today was truly imposing, if she stayed with her any longer, she would definitely be half to death from anger.

"Mother, you should move in with me at Xier's place. The environment and security there are much better than here. As for me, I have been very busy with official duties lately and can't be by your side all the time…"

"As I'm this old, there's nothing much to fear. Go about your business and don't worry about me."

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, who had come with anger in her eyes. Living together, she was afraid that she would suffocate her.

Feng Lingxi glanced around and whispered, "I heard that the imperial court has sent a lot of people recently, all of them are coming for Dugu City. If they can't catch Dugu City, they will definitely target my mother. The conditions here are not good, and it is impossible to defend against them. What if..."

When Feng Ling spoke, she glanced at Shu Taifei. Sure enough, she backed down.

"That..." Shu Taifei lightly coughed twice, looking at her son, "Why would you kill yourself"

獨孤城 endured a smile, cooperating with Feng Lingxi's performance.

"After returning to the palace, my brothers and sisters' intentions towards me should be clear to you, Mother."

Although you're not happy to see me, at least I'm safe here and being looked after.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Shu Taifei, "There's a dedicated courtyard."

"Mother, Xi'er also has good intentions. Don't you want to go back with us"

Shutai stood up, looked at Feng Lingxi and touched her nose. Her smug expression made Shutai's face harden as she said, "It was her who asked me to go, not that I wanted to go myself."

Let's go.

Wind Ling Xi turned around, looking at the smile on Du Gu Cheng's lips, and winked playfully at him. It seemed like her scheme to fool her mother had worked.

Although she has lost her memory, Empress Shu is still easy to handle because her priorities haven't changed.

Feng Lingxi suddenly felt that she had been naive before. Why did she argue with Shu Taifei She could have just used a little trick and saved herself so much anger.

The Empress Dowager Shu was brought to the Yao clan's main residence and given a separate courtyard. Feng Lingxi especially selected two young Yao maidservants for her, and also found two older mamas for her, so that she would have someone to talk to.

Before this, everyone in the county office stayed in the county office. It wasn't that she was overthinking it, but these people still had other uses.

The change of servants for the Shu Taifei wasn't much of an adjustment. Although the Yao tribe members weren't blindly obedient, they served with care and there was nothing to fault them for.

"Xier, my concubine received this here, trouble you to take a look, this period of time I will be busier, hard work for you."

Back in their own courtyard, Wan'er had already woken up from her nap and was playing with Zhang Yue. Fourteen and Fifteen were standing by, keeping watch over them without disturbing them.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, then at Wan'er, his voice tinged with sadness.

"Xier, do you feel like you owe me something lately"

Debt

Feng Lingxi frowned, turned to look at Dugu Cheng's aggrieved expression, and instinctively took two steps back.n, getting up and walking to the side, looking a little uncomfortable."The army will probably be back in about three days. After a short rest, we'll set off again. The round trip will take about half...
