eached.""Alone City looked at Feng Ling Xi, "This king thinks, it's better to go out and fight."Feng Lingxi looked at the terrain on the map, "How did the former Xia Dynasty conquer Liu Xi County befo...The Old Madam entered, followed by several maidservants. Upon entering, she blocked the doorway.

Feng Lingxi walked to the old princess's face and paid her respects.

"Mother Empress, it's so late for you to come to your daughter-in-law's place, I wonder what brings you here"

The Dowager Empress swept across the room and roared, "Search!"

Feng Lingxi heard that she was going to search her room, and her heart pounded. This Dugu City was still behind the screen. If they found it, how would she explain

"Mother, what do you mean by this"

The Old Madam stared at Feng Lingxi, "Zhao MaMa said your room hid a man. This concubine wants to personally search and see what you've been up to in your room all day."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi's face darkened. It was indeed Zhao Mam who was behind all of this.

Feng Lingxi stretched out her hand and rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair arm. The mark of the tortoise shell on her arm was clearly visible in the air. Feng Lingxi extended her arm in front of the old queen dowager. Although she felt like she had stripped off her clothes and stood before everyone, she didn't want Du Gucheng to be found out.

"Mother, is this enough"

Zhao Mamá looked at the cinnabar in her hand, she hurried forward to grab her hand and check. Seeing that the cinnabar was still there, she squeezed hard, trying to wipe off the color of the cinnabar, but she found that the cinnabar didn't fall off at all.

"Grandma Zhao, are you trying to make my hand bleed before you're satisfied"

Feng Lingxi coldly questioned, the Old Madam looked at her position in the palace sand being pinched red by Zhao MaMa, her face darkened.

"Zhao Mamā, is the palace sand for the Princess really effective"

Grandma Zhao was furious. They had dared to sell her fake news, making her look like a fool in front of the old princess.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's Palace sand is indeed still here."

The Old Madam grabbed Feng Lingxi’s arm and looked at the bruise on her hand from being pinched on the Guanyinsha. She shouted angrily, “Zhao MaMa, you have such audacity! To dare to treat the Princess consort with such severity. First, you went to the Empress Dowager to accuse the Princess consort of unfaithfulness, and now, in front of me, you pinch her until she has bruises. Do you still have me in your eyes”

Zhao Ma ma hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old servant listened to slander and only then did such a thing happen. This old servant knows her mistake, please forgive this old servant and spare her this time."

Feng Lingxi lowered her sleeves and, seeing the Old Madam's attitude, was a little puzzled. This grandmother-in-law didn't seem as disagreeable as she had imagined.

And this Zhao Ma Ma is targeting her everywhere. Besides wanting to bring her granddaughter in as the fourth princess, who else is behind this instigation

“Zhao Mama, who instigated you to slander my innocence I consider myself to have never had a grudge with you since marrying into the Fourth Prince’s Mansion. Moreover, I have already agreed that when I return home, I will ask Mother Concubine to arrange for your granddaughter to marry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I have even promised you that I will give up the position of Fourth Princess to your granddaughter. Why would you still listen to others' slander and defame my innocence”

Feng Lingxi's words caused Zhao Mama to change color drastically, and even the Old Madam was taken aback.

“Grandmother Zhao, is everything the Princess said true”

Zhao MaMa's expression was flustered, she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Old Madam, this servant knows he was wrong. It was the second mistress, Liu, from General Manor who told this servant that your reputation had been ruined long ago. This servant only wanted to find out the truth and prevent disgrace upon the manor."

Feng Lingxi heard Liu's name, and a chill appeared in her eyes. She didn't expect that before she could settle the score with her, Liu had already reached out to the Fourth Prince's Manor. It seemed that even after marrying into the Fourth Prince's Manor, she didn't intend to let her live peacefully.

Well, then don't blame her for being cold and ruthless.

The Old Madam, upon hearing Zhao Ma Ma's words, angrily rebuked her, "Zhao Ma Ma, you truly disappoint this concubine. How could you do such a thing for your own selfish gain This concubine is utterly disappointed in you."

"Old Madam Wang, this servant knows his mistake. Please, Madam, spare this servant's life."

Grandmother Zhao held onto Feng Lingxi's thigh, weeping and begging, "Old slave truly knows her mistake. Please, Your Highness, give this old slave a chance to reform."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Zhao Mama, and said faintly, "I can't decide this matter. If my mother forgives you, I won't blame you."

The Old Madam looked at Feng Ling Xi, for a moment, she didn't even know how to choose.

She's passed this difficult problem onto her. If she favors Zhao Mama and lets her suffer, the news will spread, saying she mistreats her own daughter-in-law. Once it gets out, it won't sound good at all.

Grandma Zhao was watching the old Princess Consort, her tears streaming down her face, which moved the old Princess Consort deeply.

"Zhao Mama, you listened to slander and defamed the Crown Princess's innocence. This concubine cannot forgive you. But considering you have taken care of Cheng'er since he was young, this concubine will not pursue this matter further. From today onwards, all matters in the house will be managed by the Crown Princess. You are not allowed to interfere. Come with this concubine to Xiuxin Garden to repent and pray for forgiveness."

Upon hearing the empress dowager's words, Zhao Ma Ma quickly bowed and thanked her.

"My Queen, are you satisfied with this punishment"

When the Dowager Empress spoke, Feng Lingxi had to give her face, even if she was displeased.

"The daughter-in-law is no different."

The Old Madam nodded, looking at her with a gentle attitude. Compared to her imposing manner in front of Zhao Ma Ma before, she was clearly showing her respect.

"This person is getting old, his body can't take the strain. Any exertion leaves him aching all over."

Feng Lingxi heard the old princess's words and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Mother-in-law, if you don't mind, your daughter-in-law can help you knead your shoulders to relieve the soreness."

"All right."

The Old Madam sat down, and Feng Ling Xi walked in front of her, starting to knead her shoulders. The strength was just right. The Old Madam's eyes showed approval. This daughter of the Feng family wasn't like what people said outside, a fool, but rather decisive when faced with things, with a meticulous mind.

"You said this morning that you could cure my illness, but is that true"

Feng Ling was slightly surprised. Was she intending to have her treat this

"Mother Empress, if you trust your daughter-in-law, she is willing to give it a try."

To establish a foothold at the Fourth Prince's Manor, one naturally has to pass this test.

“Come to my place tomorrow morning and take a look.”

The Old Madam stood up and said to her, "It's getting late. You should get some rest."

Feng Ling quickly replied, "Daughter-in-law is just a little relaxed."

The Old Madam stopped her, "No need." Looking at the dishes on her table, she instructed Cheng Xin and Cheng Yi at the door, "Go to the kitchen and prepare a midnight snack for the Princess. Attend to the Princess's diet and daily routines diligently, and don't be negligent in the slightest."

"Yes."

This statement acknowledges Feng Lingxi's status as the Fourth Princess Consort, it seems that the Fourth Princess Consort will have a better life from now on.

After the old matriarch left, Feng Lingxi let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the screen behind her, she was fortunate that they hadn't searched. Otherwise, she would have been finished today.

"Your Highness, are you alright"

Xiao Li hurried forward, grabbed her hand, and rolled up her sleeve to look at the bruise on her spleen. This Zhao Mama was so ruthless, how painful must that have been

"I'm fine, you go outside and prepare some hot water for me. I need to bathe and change."

Xiao Li went out, and Feng Ling Xi then walked toward the screen.tched her do this, got up and walked outside, looking at Ye Xi who was guarding outside. "Rest here for a few days and escort Madam home.""My lord, shouldn't we go look for the princess"Night Xi hurri...
