Chapter 1663: Hand in Hand for Life (71)

say it's inevitable; even your elder sister in the palace will be imprisoned because of you. Her position as Empress is within reach, yet you cause such a stir at this critical moment. You have truly...Wind Lingxi was amused by what Madam Lu had said. It seemed that Lu Nian truly couldn't escape.

"Mother, Little Grass and I have something to discuss. I'll bring her over to you in a while for introductions."

Lu's wife nodded. "Alright, make sure everyone comes along later. When they arrive, they are our guests. Treat them as if they were at their own home, don't be reserved."

Little Grass thanked him, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Xiaocang can finally speak a word with you."

Little Grass's eyes were red. "I heard that Madam is gone, isn't it true I don't believe Madam was someone with a short life. Madam was the smartest woman in the world, she wouldn't die so easily."

Feng Lingxi watched as the little grass's eyes spun with tears, taking her handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Xiaocao, thank you for caring so much about my mother. She's not dead, but she's not here." Xiaocao had followed her mother for so many years, and came to this place looking for news of her just to confirm her mother's life or death. Feng Lingxi couldn't bear to see her heartbroken.

"Where did that lady go"

Feng Lingxi looked up, "She should be doing well now, Xiaochao. My mother has a place she wants to go. I promised her that in front of the world, we could only say she died. Rest assured, she is living well right now, just that we can't find her."

"Really"

Little Grass knew the answer was false, but she would rather believe what the princess said, that her mistress was still alive.

"It's true, she's alive, but only you and I can disturb her life."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "Mother told me to tell you to live a good life, live the life you want, and don't worry about her anymore. She will be fine."

Xiaocǎo crouched down and cried sadly. Fenglingxi squatted down, "Don't cry, you'll live a good life from now on, isn't there still me"

"Your Highness, Xiaochao has followed you for over six years. Xiaochao truly doesn't want to be separated from the madam."

Feng Lingxi hugged her. If their mother knew that there was someone in the world like Xiaochao who cared for her, would she still choose to travel through time and space to another world

Actually, she didn't know if the so-called time tunnel really existed or if they had truly reached another era. But she preferred to believe it was true, at least her mother was living well in another world. That was the best ending for them.

"Let's go eat."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the guests who were gradually taking their seats, and took Xiaochao to eat. However, tears still lingered on Xiaochao's face. She was reluctant to part with her madam. She didn't know how she would live her life from now on. There wasn't anyone in the world who could be like her madam, taking her around and teaching her about the ways of the Jianghu.

"Xier, come here, come sit over here."

Lu's wife immediately saw Feng Lingxi bringing Xiaocao over. She quickly cleared a space. Feng Lingxi pulled Xiaocao over, but Xiaocao refused.

"Your Highness, I can just go to another table."

Lady Lu had already gotten up and walked over, taking Xiaocao's hand and pulling her to sit beside Lu Nian. "Since she is Xi'er's friend, then she is family. Don't be so polite."

"Madam Lu, I am only..."

Before Xiaocao could finish, Lady Lu interrupted her, "Xiaocao, don't be so reserved. There aren't so many rules in the Lu family. Since you are Xi'er's mother, you are also Xi'er's person. Xi'er and we are family, so you are naturally one of us as well."

The grass didn't even have a chance to explain before it was left on the table, pleadingly looking at Feng Lingxi. Lu Fu hastily poured her wine, "Come, come, come, let's drink together on such a good day."

"Little grass, it's alright."

Feng Lingxi appeased, Xiaocao and Xiaoli, like her, were people left to her by her mother. She would treat them well and consider them as her own sisters. However, looking at Lu's attitude, it seemed that Xiaocao was going to be her sister-in-law.

As the banquet dispersed, Lady Lu and Feng Lingxi chatted for a few words before Lady Lu led Xiao Cao away. Feng Lingxi didn't say much upon seeing this, after all, if Xiao Cao could find a good family, it would be a good thing. It's best to let things take their course.

Right now, she's waiting for Dugu City to pick her up at the Lu family.

"Xier, big brother is telling you, that woman must not be given to me."

"Which one"

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, who was flushed from the alcohol, with a look of disgust. "You've had too much to drink, go back and rest," she said.

Lu Nian grabbed Feng Lingxi's arm, her eyes scattered, "I only dared to say this because I had too much to drink. I'm telling you, I don't want..." *hic* Lu Nian burped, and the whole person was dragged away. Feng Lingxi watched Lu Nian's appearance, smiling helplessly.

"Mother, when will Father come to pick us up"

Siqi followed her mother back to the courtyard. Everyone had dispersed, and it was getting late. Siqi looked at the moonlight and began to miss her father.

He needs the emperor's permission to come over, it will probably take some time.

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er beside her, "Why aren't you speaking Is something on your mind"

"Mother, should I forgive my master"

Wan'er has grown up now, she understands her master's difficulties. Now that everything is resolved, she thinks back to the hurtful things she said before. She misses her master and Su Yue. She feels that she was too narrow-minded.

"Wan'er, you already have the ability to judge for yourself. Mother trusts your judgment."

Waner bit her lip, she wanted, very much, to apologize to her master, to make amends to him, and to let him continue to be her master, but she didn't know where her master was.

"It's a pity I don't know where my master is."

Waner's eyes dimmed. "Now that there is no Yaozu, and no Su Yue, I don't know where to find him."

He should be quite happy now, after all, he was the head of the Yao clan for over twenty years. Now that he has taken off the burden on his shoulders, he can naturally live the life he wants. Perhaps he will travel the world with Li Wu Yan, or maybe he will change his identity and start a new chapter in his life.

"Will we see each other again"

Wan'er gazed at the night sky, "I miss him."

"If he knew you thought of him, he would certainly come to see you."

Mentioning her master, Feng Lingxi only then remembered that she hadn't gone to see him this time she came back. She didn't know how he was doing now. Knowing she had returned, why didn't he come to see her

"Wan'er, tomorrow mother wants to go find her master."

Then let's rest early. Tomorrow, Wan'er will accompany you to see Lord Yuan's grandfather.

Wǎn'ěr perked up and went back to her room to rest.

At night, stars twinkled in the sky. Feng Ling Xi sat on the rooftop, admiring the twinkling stars, when a figure landed beside her. "Xiao Feng, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Tao Su glanced at Feng Ling Xi, her eyes looking towards the sky. Hearing Tao Su's words, Feng Ling Xi nodded slightly, "Have you thought about where you want to go" Knowing that she couldn't force Tao Su to stay by her side, after all, everyone has their own path to walk.

"The world is vast, and all under heaven is home. I want to travel around, and if fate allows, we'll meet again someday."t's now abandoned""It's strange to say, but after the Zhang family moved in, they fell ill shortly after and couldn't recover. After that, they kept saying that this place was haunted, claiming that y...
