Chapter 96: Breaking the Bed (Part 60)

her, looking at her arm stained red with blood, and hurried over, grabbing her hand, "Who hurt you""My Queen, it's good to see you. I came here to tell you, Dugu Xiu brought his army here not to kill..."Who doesn't allow it" Feng Aotien was a little confused, looking at Xi'er with puzzled eyes. He couldn't understand his daughter at all. After recovering from her illness, her eyes were sharp, and even her thoughts had become so meticulous

Feng Lingxi crouched down, looking at the silent Liu shi. She lifted her chin, causing Liu shi's face to become even paler and tears streamed down her cheeks. "Xier, I know I wasn't kind to you when you were sick before, but you can't slander me like this."

"Liu shi, did I say it was you who did this"

Liu was taken aback by the question.

Feng Aotian stared at the Liu family, his eyes shifting between them and Feng Lingxi. "Xier, who are you talking about"

Feng Lingxi looked at her mother, "This matter should still be left to your mother to say. I believe she has a lot to tell you."

When Zhang saw Xi'er speak, she walked into the room and soon emerged carrying a bowl.

"General, take a look at this."

Feng Aotiantian's bowl of chicken soup, there's also ginseng. “Ginseng chicken soup, isn’t this a tonic”

Feng Lingxi took a silver needle from her bosom and put it into a bowl. Then she took it out, looking at the color on the surface of the silver needle. Feng Aotien's face changed drastically, "Poisoned"

Liu's face grew increasingly ugly, it seemed that today Feng Lingxi was determined to make things difficult for her.

Who made this chicken soup for you

Feng Aotian was furious. He glared at Zhang Shi, seeing her staring at Liu Shi who was kneeling on the ground. He looked at Liu Shi in disbelief, “Xiao Die, was this chicken soup made for your mistress”

Liu shi was at a loss for words. Feng Linglong got up and looked at her father, "This chicken soup was indeed instructed by my mother to the kitchen to cook for my mother, but why would it be poisoned Father shouldn't investigate the kitchen"

"Judging by your tone, the one who poisoned her wasn't the second concubine, but someone else"

Feng Lingxi knew Feng Linglong was a formidable opponent. While Liu shi remained silent, she rose to speak instead. It seemed Feng Linglong's previous actions were all a performance. If she truly became the prince's consort, there would undoubtedly be conflict between them.

Such consequences cannot be allowed to remain.

“Fourth Sister, you are so clever and quick-witted, how could you be so foolish What benefit would poisoning Mother bring to our Aunt She has been managing the General's Manor in Mother's place for over ten years. If she truly wanted to harm Mother, why wait until now Fourth Sister, don't you think about it, if Mother were to meet with an accident, what benefits would our Aunt gain To be labeled as the one who poisoned her husband's wife is a serious crime. Our Aunt is not stupid; she wouldn't do such a thing.”

"Linglong, you make a good point. Xi'er, could it be that someone deliberately framed your second aunt"

Feng Aotien was clearly siding with the Liu family. With Feng Linglong's words, his heart once again wavered.

Then, according to elder sister's meaning, who wants to frame my mother

Feng Lingxi glanced at her mother, signaling her not to worry. Liu shi remained silent, showing no signs of guilt. Feng Linglong stepped forward, analyzing the situation logically. The chicken soup wasn't delivered by Liu shi herself; there was insufficient evidence to prove that she was responsible.

"As for who it is, I wouldn't say. Fourth Sister is so clever, if she truly believes it's my mother, then I have nothing to say."

Liu pulled Feng Linglong, indicating for her to kneel. That expression made her seem like a reasonable person who understood propriety and boundaries, making Feng Aotian feel sympathy for her.

Though Xia Die is a concubine, she has always been proper and courteous. She has managed the household for the mistress for over ten years without ever mistreating you both. Xier, regarding this poisoning incident, your father will definitely investigate it thoroughly and will never condone such a vicious person in the house.

Zhang looked at her daughter and still wanted to say something, but she held her hand and shook her head, signaling her not to speak any further.

The details of Liu's crimes are unclear now, and it would be pointless to continue discussing them.

"General, my humble self has a request. Since elder sister is already much better, why not return the stewardship to her My concubine wishes to discipline those children strictly, so they don't become spoiled."

"Then I'll return the matter of the steward to Madam. What do you think, Madam"

Zhang heard Feng Aotians words and calmly said, "Xi'er has helped me adjust my body, and it's almost done. I'll handle the household affairs myself."

Wind Ling Xi watched her mother take over, her brow furrowed slightly, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Since mother wants to manage the household, Xi'er won't stop her. But mother's body hasn't fully recovered, so she needs to rest more and let the servants do things for her. Don't do everything yourself and wear yourself out."

Zhang replied, addressing Feng Lingxi, "Fengling, although your elder and second sisters made a mistake, they are still your sisters. For mother's sake, please forgive them this time."

Feng Ling Xi looked at Feng Ling Yu's indignant eyes and said calmly, "Since mother has spoken, how could Xi'er not give mother face."

"Linglong, Lingyu, get up quickly."

Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu hurriedly got up. Zhang Shi walked to Liu Shi's face, "Sister, get up too."

Liu was being supported by Zhang, and looking at the smile on her face, she felt a sudden panic in her heart for no reason. She had just said she was about to die, but now her complexion was rosy. When did Feng Lingxi learn medicine, and become so skilled

"Thank you, elder sister."

Liu stood aside, leaving all the limelight to Zhang. That considerate demeanor pleased Feng Aotian even more.

"Mother, Xi'er has something to tell you."

Windling pulled Zhang to the side. Liu watched them, her eyes darting back and forth, as the mother and daughter whispered softly. Her heart pounded with fear.

After Feng Lingxi finished speaking to her mother, she returned to Du Gucheng's side and looked at Feng Aotian, "Father, since you also let Mother take charge of the back garden, I believe that all matters in the back garden will be handled by her. It shouldn't be that there isn't even a single person to serve you, right"

Feng Aotien glanced at Dugu City and quickly said, "No, father will personally select a few capable nannies for her to go..."

"This old nanny in Fengfu, Your Majesty, I can't trust her. Ye Xi, you go to the Wangfu and bring Nanny Liu to serve my mother-in-law at the General's Mansion. Also, ask her to select a few nimble maidservants to help my mother-in-law take charge of the backyard affairs as soon as possible."

Dugu Cheng's words caused Feng Aotitian's face to stiffen. "Fourth Prince, General's Mansion still has a few nannies."

"Grandmother Liu served by my mother, she will be able to help your mother-in-law and manage the General's Mansion backyard properly."

The nanny by the side of Imperial Consort Shu, wouldn't that be like inviting a Buddha statue This is clearly to support Zhang shi. In the future, all matters in the household will depend on what Zhang shi says.

Then, many thanks to the Four Kings for your kindness.

Zhang quickly expressed her gratitude, while Dugu Cheng supported her. "Mother-in-law, you don't need to be polite, Liu Ma will help you."

With Zhang's matter settled, Dugu City finally turned to Feng Lingxi and said, "Xi'er, it's getting late. This King still has some matters to attend to. Would you like to accompany this King"

"Xier, you quickly go back with the Fourth Prince. Mother can take care of herself."

Feng Lingxi responded and followed Dugu Cheng out of the mansion. After getting into the carriage, Dugu Cheng took a letter from his bosom and handed it to her.y given me the crime of extermination. My dear father, I really want to know, where do you get the face to say these things to me”She never intended to harm the innocent. If Feng Yixuan insisted on ma...
