Chapter 1459: Sparks of War Ignite

ck to when Dugu Yan hadn't become emperor yet; he wasn't like this. Now he has really changed a lot.Feng Ling Xi's eyes fell on the Empress Dowager, watching as the imperial physicians were helpless....“What a silly child.”

Lu Nian wanted to comfort Wan'er, but the hand suspended in mid-air dared not touch her. He just watched Wan'er squatting there, crying silently.

Lu Hao glared at Lu Nian, then quickly stepped forward and helped Wan'er to her feet.

"Wan'er, don't listen to him. Come to grandpa here, I'll make things right for you."

Lu Hao picked up Wan'er and glanced outside. Feng Lingxi didn't know what was happening here; she should have walked far away with the old lady. She probably wanted to avoid hearing their conversation.

Lu Nian was scolded, but dared not retort.

For the past five years, he had always known that Wan'er held strong opinions about Dugu City, but he hadn't expected it to be suppressed to this extent. He didn't even think she would have such a big opinion of him. A once harmonious family was now torn apart like this. Lu Nian felt deeply sorry for Wan'er.

"I'm sorry, Uncle initially didn't think things through. But Uncle promises you, your father and I truly never intended to harm you..."

Waner broke away from Lu Hao, tears blurring her vision as she looked at Lu Nian, "I will never forgive him for this in my life."

"Wan'er."

Lu Nian stepped forward, and when he saw Wan'er retreating, her tearful eyes were filled with loss and pain. A child who was less than eight years old could hide his pain so deeply, he really felt sorry for her.

"How do you want your uncle to make amends"

Wan'er wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, "Will making amends be useful"

Looking at Wan'er's tears in the corners of her eyes, this little face was full of expressions that only adults would have. Over the years, they had actually pushed the child into becoming an adult.

Tao Su looked at the scene before him, his heart not feeling good.

As he walked up to Wan'er, seeing her trembling body as she cried, Tao Su reached out and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

“You are a strong girl, your mother is proud of you. As her friend, I will take good care of her. Don’t suppress your emotions. If there’s anything you want to say to her, say it here. Only when you speak up can she understand.”

Lu Hao nodded in agreement, "Waner, what Master Tao said is right. You are a good child. I will teach this little brat a lesson later."

Wǎn'er shook off Lù Hào's hand, gave him a glance.

"Mind your own business."

Lu Hao's expression stiffened, his old face couldn't hold up.

"Uncle Tao, thank you."

Wan'er bowed to Tao Su, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She looked at everyone present and bowed again, "I'm sorry everyone, I lost my composure just now."

Wan'er's actions are heartbreaking. Her maturity makes one wonder what she has experienced all these years.

Here.

Mrs. Lu walked over and took Wan'er's hand, "Grandma Lu will take you to the courtyard for a walk, and you can see the scenery of the Lu family by the way. Tomorrow, I will take you to visit the capital city of this Xi Gu country and see how it compares to your Great Yuan Dynasty."

"Madam."

Feng Lingxi supported the elderly madam as they walked over. Wan'er hurriedly turned around and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her flustered movements couldn't escape Feng Lingxi's gaze. She was about to ask when she was interrupted by Lu Nian.

"Xier, it's rare for Wan'er to come over. You wouldn't refuse such a small request, would you"

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er, her expression serious, "I respect Wan'er's opinion. If she agrees, I have no objection."

When Wan'er heard her mother's words, she turned around, her eyes red and swollen with tears.

"Why are you crying"

"Wan'er didn't cry, Wan'er was just so touched by her mother's words." Wan'er went forward and hugged Feng Lingxi's waist, but tears welled up in her eyes. She hated her own tearful appearance now, crying at the drop of a hat, so immature.

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, not asking further, but she knew Wan'er must have been crying; her eyes betrayed her.

"Lady Lu, I've spoken with the old lady. Today after we finish our lunch, my daughter and I will return to my master's place first. We will come back to your house tomorrow."

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, and Madam Lu instantly panicked. She hurriedly looked at the old madam, seeing her nod, she was utterly confused.

"Mother, this..."

"Little Whisper, don't worry, Xier promised she would be back tomorrow." The old lady smiled and patted Lu's hand. "Besides, she will bring us a surprise."

"What a surprise"

Lu Nian curiously asked out loud, but the next second, she was stifled by Madam Lu's gaze. Lu Hao didn't dare to ask either. Towards Feng Lingxi, he owed his daughter, he owed Yao Wan'ying, and he owed his wife. He was the one with no right to speak.

"You'll know tomorrow, why ask so many questions"

The old lady glared at Lu Nian, "Are your second and third brothers coming back tomorrow too"

Lu Nian nodded, seeing grandma angry, she didn't dare to speak up, lest she get beaten.

"The whole family will be together tomorrow."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Feng Lingxi and saw a grateful look in her eyes. The sternness and displeasure on her face eased somewhat.

"Mother, do you have a home here too"

Wan'er whispered, seeing Feng Lingxi nod, she hurriedly said, "Then can Wan'er go back today and sleep with her mother"

Of course, Wan'er is my daughter. If she wants to sleep with me, she can.

Wan'er hummed in response, her eyes shining with anticipation. She had almost forgotten how she had grown up all these years.

"Su Yue, don't tell them anything about me being here. Otherwise, you better not follow me."

Wan'er issued a warning, Suyue nodded, "Understood, my lord."

Here, nothing can be hidden from the chieftain.

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to meet everyone's gaze, and said calmly, "Don't just stand there, come sit down and talk."

Wǎn'ěr held onto Fēng Lǐngxī’s hand, her face full of reluctance. She looked at her mother who still appeared young and beautiful, like a dream come true.

"Whisper, go see how the kitchen is preparing."

The old lady gave an order, and Madam Lu hurriedly agreed. However, she saw Lu Hao rushing to catch up, "Madam, I'll accompany you for a while."

"Girl, come with grandma for a walk."

"Please, Madam."

Feng Lingxi pulled Wan'er out of the courtyard with the elderly mistress, and others followed behind. The procession was quite impressive. There were no more cries. In front of Feng Lingxi, Wan'er was like a different person, obedient, well-behaved, and knowing her place.

"Madam, I hope you can give me a reply as soon as possible to what I have said."

"Rest assured, I will definitely do what you asked."

The old lady’s voice was full of doting as her eyes fell on Wan'er.

"Are you really going to send this child to the Yao tribe to be their chief She's only ten years old, just like any other child."

The old woman's voice was full of reluctance. This was the granddaughter of the Lu family, if she went to the Yao clan, it would be impossible for her to return to the Lu family.

Feng Ling lowered his head and glanced at Wan'er. Although his eyes were filled with reluctance, he still nodded.

"Wan'er is the chosen leader by the Yao tribe, and I am the holy master of the Yao tribe. Although this title is quite ridiculous, if they truly come to take her away, I wouldn't be their match."

The Yao clan is powerful, but don't even think about making a move in front of the Lu family. If you don't agree, Grandma won't let you go.

He exclaimed with joy, "Xier, you'r...
