Murong Yi grew even more bashful. "Aiya, in front of your highness and Yan'er, why are you asking this …. "I don't know if it's true, but I was planning to invite a doctor to take a look …"

He sat down and personally poured wine for Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan, "Your Highness, please excuse me. Yan'er's mother has passed away for many years, this subject has never thought that the family would still be able to add fuel to the fire when the time comes, lose self-control, lose self-control …"

Shen Ling Jue laughed as he toasted Feng Wei, "Father-in-law is at the prime of his life and married the second wife. The Second Madam is a fortunate person. Naturally, she will open branches and scatter leaves for the Feng family and add additional children. "

Feng Ningyan also grabbed Murong Yi's arm as she said in a spoiled manner, "Fourth Aunt, in the future, you'll have your own younger brother and sister. You can't be too biased and not love me anymore."

Murong Yi hugged Feng Ningyan and gave a sweet smile. "Both you and Your Highness must work hard as well!"

"This King will. Please rest assured, father-in-law and Second Madam." Shen Lingjue said in a natural manner.

"Cough, cough …" Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but stare at Shen Ling Jue, "Your Highness agreed pretty quickly …"

In the main hall, the family enjoyed their meal, but in the back garden, in the Fragrance Pavilion, the Du family was like a shadow.

In the past when Feng Wei was not in the mansion, she had Hua Ruyu by her side as her companion.

But now, even the trusted aides and confidants she had raised in the General's Estate many years ago had been chased out by the eldest wife, Murong Yi. Only two capable maidservants and an old mama were left to serve the Fragrance Pavilion.

Du Shi was so angry that he stood up and flipped the table with one hand, and said with hatred: "Why! I have been operating within the Palace for many years, and I am so tired that my hair has even turned white. I have no merit, and I have been working hard, but the Great General did not care about it in the slightest.

When the maidservants at the side saw Aunt Du lose her temper, they didn't find it strange and hurriedly went to clean up the broken plates on the ground.

At this moment, the old mama, Fourth Aunt Fan, walked in and whispered into Auntie Du's ear, "Wifey, Miss sent some things over from the capital, and a letter."

Madame Du quickly took a wooden box from the old nanny's hands and a letter rolled up in a bamboo tube.

The moment Feng Ning Yan returned, Hua Ruyu immediately sent a letter, there was definitely something important.

She opened the letter and was shocked.

Hua Ruyu had written down the situation in the capital about how she had fought with Feng Ningyan in the open and in the dark several times. Just by looking at these things, Aunt Du felt a chill run down her spine.

Only when she saw that Hua Ruyu was already serving the emperor at the palace did Aunt Du cover her face and cry bitterly. "Good child, good child. All these years, Aunt's efforts have not been in vain …"

The more she felt that it was not easy to walk on this path of Hua Ruyu's, the more she hated the destruction and obstruction of Feng Ning Yan.

After she finished reading the letter and learned what Hua Ruyu wanted her to do, she memorized every word of the letter and burned the letter into ashes, then crushed it and sprinkled it into the pot.

Mrs. Du let the maidservants out, holding the wooden box, and called Fourth Aunt Fan to her side.

"Fourth Aunt, right now, without Murong Yi's permission, I am not allowed to leave the manor. Therefore, there's an important matter that I need you to help me with."

Fourth Aunt Fan quickly said, "Wife, please do as you are told. I will do it well."

Du handed the box to Fourth Aunt Fan. After whispering a few words in her ear, Fourth Aunt Fan nodded repeatedly, put the box into her arms, and left.

After dinner, Feng Wei wanted to rush back to Fringe City overnight. He specifically emphasized on having Feng Ning Yan accompany Shen Ling Jue to have a good time in the famous mountains and rivers around Ningnan County, not to worry about the matters at Fringe City.

However, Feng Ning Yan clearly knew that before long, Duan Liushao, the Crown Prince of Southern Wilderness, would start a war. How could she not be worried?

Since she could not say what would happen in the future, she could only use other reasons to urge Feng Wei to seize this opportunity to train his troops.

Feng Wei was extremely stubborn, and seeing his daughter insist like this, he had no choice but to ask about it.

Feng Ningyan could only say, "Father, just listen to me." "Now that the situation in the capital has changed, the crown prince has formed an alliance to keep the situation secret. Both the prince and I are worried that he is plotting something important, so Father must strengthen his armaments to prevent political instability and to affect the situation at the border."

Hearing that, Feng Wei raised his thick eyebrows, and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Father understands! Rest assured! "

Seeing that Feng Wei was feeling threatened, Feng Ning Yan felt a little more at ease. After sending off her father, she boarded the horse carriage and went with Shen Ling Jue to the Hot Springs Courtyard at the Holy Light Temple.

The last time she came here was before she entered the capital. This hot spring courtyard was filled with the trusted aides of the Du Family and Hua Ruyu. Feng Ning Yan was here almost destroyed by Hua Ruyu's poison, but fortunately, she was able to escape this calamity after remembering how she was disfigured in her previous life.

When he arrived at the courtyard again, he saw that not only had the people here been cleaned up, even the old grass in the corners of the walls and the eaves had been tidied up.

The guards here had all been strictly selected by Murong Yi. Once Chu Zhao arrived, he deployed his men to protect the Hot Springs Courtyard together with the guards of King Yu's Estate.

Shen Ling Jue looked at the surrounding terrain and praised: "Second Madam is indeed thoughtful, there is only one way up the mountain. As long as there is a guard at the foot of the mountain, it is very difficult for anyone to get close to the Hot Springs Courtyard. "On the security side, I'm quite relieved.

Feng Ning Yan smiled happily. "That's right. Fourth Aunt moved all the trusted aides that Aunt Du originally planted here. Now that they're all trustworthy people, I can relax."

He was not only at ease with the residence, but also with the Feng family.

The head maid of the guest courtyard was called Qing Xue. She had long received the orders from the first wife to arrange Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan's rooms. Naturally, the 'mandarin duck bath' they requested was also prepared.

"Your highness, wangfei, the journey is a mess of travel. The soup pond is ready, please bathe your highness and wangfei."

Feng Ning Yan's face turned red as she asked, "You've already prepared two soup ponds, right?"

"No, according to the prince and the princess, the room is reserved for them." Qing Xue replied with a smile.

Shen Ling Jue laughed: "Yes, one room is perfect. Please lead the way Miss Qing Xue."

"What room …" Feng Ning Yan's face was full of disobedience.

Shen Ling Jue replied softly: "Although there are no Du Family's trusted aides here, they are still the second wife's trusted henchmen. How could she not know of any movements? If the wangfei were to bathe and sleep in two separate rooms, what would General Feng think when he found out? A fake marriage? "

Feng Ning Yan gritted her teeth, she couldn't deny that Shen Ling Jue was right.

She walked step by step towards the soup sink, already sweating so nervously that it rained down on her.

"Your Highness, we've been married for so long, and we've been living in the same house, and we've always kept to ourselves. Today, you will treat us with the courtesy of a gentleman, right?"

Shen Ling Jue cast a sidelong glance at her, and asked curiously: "What is a gift of a gentleman?"

"Just don't look at me, don't listen to me, don't touch me, don't think about me …" Feng Ning Yan explained with difficulty.

"There is no such thing as' molestation 'between husband and wife."

Shen Ling Jue's brows twitched as he spoke frankly.

If the negotiations failed, how would she dodge this time?
