Highness. You've been busy all night as well. Rest early. If you exhaust yourself, there will be no one to hold the fort."Xiaoli comforted her, this night too many things happened, the princess did n...The beauties all had flickering eyes, as if afraid that Feng Lingxi would punish them. They lowered their heads one after another and dared not speak.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Your Highness's noble pursuit of selecting a consort. Farewell."
Feng Lingxi left on her own, and Shu Taifei's face turned ashen with anger. She let out a cold snort.
"What's there to be proud of, I'll kick her out sooner or later."
As soon as Dugu City returned to the Prince's Mansion, he heard that his mother had chosen over thirty beauties for him and had already decided on them all. She planned to fill his harem and let him start a family as soon as possible.
More than thirty women, just hearing it, Du Gucheng got a headache.
"Brother-in-law, are you really going to take these women"
If this were true, he wouldn't be her brother-in-law anymore. He had promised her sister that she would be the only one. Even if they were just pretending, with so many women in the backyard coming and going every day, who knows which woman he might end up with someday.
Feng Yu Mo disagreed. Although his elder sister had taken the letter of divorce and agreed to be with her brother-in-law, she hadn't truly remarried successfully. If he were to marry so many women, he would definitely write a letter of divorce to Prince Huangpu and have him take his sister away.
"This is what Mother Consort meant, get rid of them, and there will be more."
"So, if Shutai gives you her consent and that of the others to consummate the marriage, would you agree"
Feng Yu Mo's tone was a bit sharp, Du Gu Cheng's footsteps stopped, he looked at him, "You're still young, you don't understand these things."
"I don't understand, so tell me, are we really going to consummate the marriage with them"
Feng Yu Mo refused to back down, looking at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brow, "If you betray my sister, then I won't recognize you as my brother-in-law."
"Yu Mo."
Feng Lingxi, who had just returned from outside, happened to hear these words and walked over to them. Duguxing saw Feng Lingxi coming, and walked forward, "Xi'er, how did you get out"
"Something happened, I'm going for a walk."
"Are those women chosen by Mother Empress for me"
Feng Ling xi shook her head. These things she didn't care about; after all, these women would be dealt with by Du Gu Cheng. No matter what the result was, it was his decision.
If he truly wanted them to carry on his lineage, how could she possibly stop him If he didn't want to, he would find a way. It was better than her taking matters into her own hands.
Dugu Cheng frowned, "Did something happen"
"Qing He's body disappeared."
Feng Lingxi's expression was grave. "I don't know yet if she faked her death or if her body was stolen. There were no clues at the scene."
"Sister, I'll help you."
Feng Yu Mo looked at his elder sister's despondent expression, and the first thing he thought of was to help her.
"You do your thing, I'll get to the bottom of this."
Feng Yu Mo glanced at Du Gu Cheng, his eyes no longer holding the same respect as before, but rather a hint of dissatisfaction.
My brother-in-law's words clearly show that he wants to take these women as his own. If that's the case, he doesn't deserve my sister; I won't help him with this anymore, and she should just stay with me.
"Now you're a little general, so just do your own thing."
"Yu Mo doesn't need any generals. Yu Mo said, when Yu Mo becomes stronger, they will definitely protect their older sister and won't let anyone bully their older sister."
Including my brother-in-law, if he bullies my sister, I will definitely not let him off.
Although Feng Yu Mo didn't say it to him, Dugu Cheng could feel the dissatisfaction in Yu Mo's words.
"I'll take care of Mother Empress, you should go back and rest first."
After Dugu Cheng walked away, Feng Yu Mo hurriedly grabbed Feng Ling Xi's arm. "Sister, are you really going to let those women come in If they really come in, what will you be"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Feng Yu's tone was full of displeasure, "Brother-in-law doesn't know what he's thinking. If he really has such thoughts, then I would really look down on him. He said so nicely at the beginning, but now he's hesitating and wants to accept these women."
He won't take it, he just needs some time to process it.
Feng Lingxi patted Feng Yu Mo's shoulder, signaling him not to take it too hard.
"Even though the Empress Dowager is his biological mother, after losing her memory, her personality changed drastically. Thinking about it, I also bear some responsibility. Back then, I should have left Dugu City by her side. Perhaps things wouldn't be like this now."
“What does this have to do with your sister Since Wan'er is in trouble, as her father, shouldn't he try to get her back Besides, when you were pregnant with Wan'er, he pretended to have amnesia and left you. You didn't hold it against him then. If he wrongs you again this time, I won't recognize him as your brother-in-law.”
Feng Yu Mo was very angry, “Any random man would be more sincere to you than he is.”
"Yu Mo, don't talk nonsense."
Feng Lingxi rebuked, "Dugu City is having a hard time now, walking on eggshells. On one hand, it's his wife, on the other, it's his mother. When you encounter such a situation in the future, you'll understand."
Feng Yu's voice was full of displeasure, "At least I wouldn't be like him, letting the woman I love suffer."
"When you're caught in the middle, you have no control over your own destiny. You wouldn't understand."
Feng Lingxi wasn't speaking up for Dugu City, and Dugu City didn't want to take a concubine. However, Shutai's personality and actions made it impossible for Dugu City to stop her even if he told her not to. In this situation, it wouldn't be possible to keep Dugu City at home to prevent Shutai from choosing a concubine.
Even without today's incident, who could guarantee what other schemes Shu Taifei would concoct
Dugu City is difficult, and she is also difficult.
"Sister, if he truly marries to please the Imperial Consort and those women, filling his harem with dozens of concubines in the future, could you accept that"
If it's fake, then let him be. It's not the first time.
More than thirty women, like wolves and tigers, are too many to guard against. If this brother-in-law doesn't have any intentions, they might take advantage of him when he's unprepared. There's always a way for them to make a move on him. Can you be sure that it will be absolutely foolproof
Feng Lingxi, hearing this, her inner peace was truly stirred, she was very agitated.
"Without talking about things that didn't happen, let me tell you about Qinghe."
Feng Lingxi began to recount what happened after Qing He appeared, asking Feng Yu Mo to analyze it for her. After listening, Feng Yu Mo showed no interest at all, and instead, his elder sister's attitude angered him.
Just then, Feng Lingxi heard the commotion of the housekeeper and saw the furniture being moved in. Feng Lingxi frowned.
"Butler, what is this"
Feng Yu Mo stopped the steward, and after living here for a long time, the steward's attitude towards Feng Yu Mo was also respectful. He hurriedly said, "Replying to the Princess Consort, Young General, these are items that Tai Fei Shu has provided to the concubines on both sides."
"Consorts on either side"
Feng Lingxi heard this title, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The steward nodded, his expression rather complex, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "It's not just the concubines on the left and right sides, there are also twenty-eight beauties, all settled. They will all move into the mansion afterward and live in the inner courtyard."
"Sister, look, I told you..."
Feng Lingxi raised her hand and looked at the steward, "Steward, does the lord know about this"
"Not yet, but the Prince just went to Shutai's courtyard. He must know now."o with it, as long as I am not Miss Lu. Furthermore, if the Lu family wants me back as their Miss and let me marry the crown prince, I'm very sorry to say that I won't."Lu Nianzhen was in a hurry and...
