Feng Lingxi stayed in the General’s Mansion to deal with Zhang’s funeral, without saying a word. On the third day, she buried Zhang and took away the nanny and maid from the Four Princes’ Mansion. She never said a word to Feng Aotian from beginning to end.
I just said to Feng Aotian when I left the General’s Mansion, that from now on, she will not step into the General’s Mansion.
Dugu Cheng came to pick her up, and looked at Feng Lingxi who had lost weight, his eyes were full of pain.
Although he knew that her mother-in-law had arranged the matter, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw that she had lost so much weight.
The story of Feng Lingxi losing her mother spread, and Concubine Shu came out from the palace to see her. Seeing that she was thin, she pulled her to say something for a long time.
“Xi’er, if you can’t attend the Queen’s birthday, the mother goes to say to the Queen and let her avoid you going to the banquet.”
Feng Lingxi forced a smile, “Mother, if the Queen’s birthday daughter-in-law doesn’t go, it’s probably inappropriate.”
“What’s wrong? There’s nothing wrong with having a mother here.”
Concubine Shu held her hand and comforted her, “Xi’er, you’re in a low mood now. Don’t worry about these things. With a mother here, you will handle everything for you.”
“Mother, the daughter-in-law is fine.”
The mother treats her like a biological daughter, how can she let her make things difficult for her?
“Xi’er, if we can’t go, we won’t go, I will accompany you.”
Dugucheng spoke, and Concubine Shu also agreed, “Your father knows about you. If you don’t go, your father will make arrangements for you.”
“Mother, if I don’t go, I might put so many women in the prince this time. I will go beautifully.”
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugucheng, “There is still some time. We can arrange it well, so we can’t make it difficult for the mother to make things difficult for her.”
Dugucheng nodded when he saw her insistence, “Then it will be up to you.”
Dugucheng was happy to hear that she didn’t want those women to enter the mansion.
Concubine Shu patted the back of her hand, “Then you are so ready to calm down. Please find your mother and make the decision for you if you need it.”
“Thank you, Mother.”
Concubine Shu gave her some advice and left the royal palace.
When Feng Lingxi saw her mother leave, she thought of the agreement with Doctor Zhang and hurriedly said, “Prince, I want to go out of the city, can you help me cover it?”
“This is easy to deal with, we will set out from the back door later.”
Feng Lingxi responded, and the two of them disguised themselves and secretly left the palace, claiming to the public that their mother died of illness and fainted from sorrow. She is now resting in the palace.
In this way, if someone comes to visit, they can also be turned away.
Feng Lingxi and Dugucheng left the city and headed straight to the tomb where Zhang was buried. When they arrived at the destination, they waited for less than a stick of incense. A group of people rushed to the carriage. After getting off the carriage, they rushed to Feng Lingxi, “Fourth Princess, I am Zhang Zijun, the son of Doctor Zhang, and the one who came to pick her up her wife left.”
Feng Lingxi responded, and Zhang Zijun waved her hand and ordered people to dig up the grave, lifted Zhang out of the coffin and placed it on the carriage.
“Young Master Zhang, my mother…”
Feng Lingxi watched them leave and hurriedly called him. Zhang Zijun glanced at Dugu Cheng, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Feng Lingxi, “This is what my father asked me to pass it to the Fourth Princess. If you have any questions, just read the letter. As for the wife, we will take her away.”
Feng Lingxi took the letter and looked at her pale face, “Where do you want to take my mother to go, can you tell me this?”
Zhang Zijun bowed to her, “For the fourth princess, I am also taking the wife away on my father’s order. As for other things, the fourth princess should ask my father.”
Feng Lingxi looked at her. It seemed that she could only ask Doctor Zhang to find out the secret hidden in her mother.
