Feng Ling Xi looked at Ye Xi's worried gaze and instructed, "You follow her, don't let anything happen to her.""No, my subordinate is ordered to protect the safety of the princess, how could I leave....The Elder shook his head. "This is hard to say. What Feng Lingxi said doesn't seem like she meant it intentionally. Since Wan'er appeared, her expressions and attitude haven't shown the slightest bit of longing."
"Third brother, did you see her like this yesterday as well"
"Yesterday I saw her, she wasn't like this. She really wanted to see Wanger, but... when it comes to Wanger and what she did, her temper is huge, she's practically a different person, wanting to beat her up, it's just like stepmother behavior."
As soon as the Third Elder spoke, all the elders looked at him and asked, “Is this true”
"Can you really be fooled by such words That's why I told you all about it last night, hoping that you could discuss and decide whether to send him away or keep him."
"Big brother, this Wan'er staying here won't be of any help now, and she's only making things more complicated for the Yao clan. It's not a good situation... So maybe..."
"No, we can't send her away. This is probably Feng Lingxi's scheme; wouldn't it be a loss for us" The Grand Elder refused. "I was planning on keeping Wan'er so that Yao Wan'ying and Feng Lingxi would both come back peacefully."
If they really don't want this child, wouldn't that just leave a danger behind
"Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, it's impossible. Let's observe for a few days and then say."
The High Elder had made his decision, and the other elders naturally followed suit.
Feng Lingxi and Luo Li walked out of the council chamber, looking at Wan'er in Luo Li's arms. Feng Lingxi really wanted to hug her, but with so many Yao Clan eyes around, it wasn't convenient.
"Wan'er, the Third Elder came to me and complained about you. He said that you are mischievous and have caused chaos here. Is it true"
Feng Lingxi's voice suddenly turned sharp. Wan'er looked at Feng Lingxi and suddenly bit her lip in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes. Luoli persuaded, "Don't scare her, she's already pitiful enough."
"Chief, you can't spoil her like this. What you're doing is harming the tribe."
Wind Ling gave Luo Li a look, and Luo Li understood. She looked towards the pair of eyes secretly watching them from afar and frowned, "Even so, we can't scare her, she's still just a child."
"Children shouldn't be so unruly. Just wait until I get back and see how I discipline her."
When Wan'er heard the words "packing up," she burst into tears.
Feng Lingxi saw that Wan'er was crying, and she felt heartbroken. However, she couldn't comfort her yet; she had to let people see her attitude.
Luoli was coaxing Wan'er, while Feng Lingxi kept a distance from them and scolded him from behind. The news soon reached the ears of the Great Elder.
Back at the temple, Feng Lingxi was about to comfort Wan'er, but she wasn't crying anymore. She looked at Feng Lingxi and reached out her hand.
"Mommy hug."
Wind Ling looked at Wan'er's outstretched hand, but she didn't dare to hug her.
"Now this place is all mine, it's settled."
Feng Lingxi then embraced Wan'er, her eyes moist. Just now she had been so angry, but now her heart ached even more.
"Wan'er, I'm sorry."
She's really afraid of appearing too obvious and letting people see that she cares too much about Wǎn'er, which would be detrimental to her.
"It was all my fault. I forced her away back then, I'm so sorry."
Luo Li bowed towards Feng Lingxi, her expression apologetic. "I don't know how to explain it, but right now, I want to send Wan'er away."
Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, saying she didn't hate him was a lie. In the beginning, her last trust was all destroyed by him.
"You want to take Wan'er as your apprentice, I have no objections. But you secretly taking her away like this, do you know how scared and heartbroken I am You don't have children, so you wouldn't know the pain of losing a child, would you"
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, not letting her tears fall.
"Waner is my child. If you want to take her, you don't even have the courtesy to let us know. Luo Li, were all those true feelings we shared when we went through hardships together just a lie"
"Let's not beat around the bush, my desire to send Wan'er away is genuine. If you truly want to take her away, trust me and follow my arrangements. Otherwise, Wan'er won't be able to leave, and I won't be able to help you."
Luoli couldn't explain her past to her. He admitted he had done things, but there was no changing that now.
Wan'er followed him. During this time, he truly treated her as his own daughter. Seeing her being detained like this, he felt uneasy and uncomfortable. He wanted to send her back, but he had to ask Feng Lingxi for help.
Feng Lingxi lowered her head and looked at her daughter. Seeing her staring at herself, tears still hanging from the corner of her eyes, her heart melted.
"Would you like to sleep with your mother tonight"
Wan'er nodded obediently, reaching out to hug Feng Lingxi's neck. She became a different person, so well-behaved.
"Good girl."
Feng Lingxi kissed her, then turned to look at Luoli.
"Last time, I believe you. Last time."
Luo Li looked at Wan'er, "Others I may have deceived you terribly, but Wan'er, I sincerely want the best for her."
"Master."
Waner called out, Luo Li's eyes softened instantly, reaching out to stroke Waner's head, "Good girl, master promises you, I will definitely do it."
Wan'er nodded, which left Feng Lingxi puzzled. What had happened between Wan'er and Luoli Why would Luoli decide to send her away
And, Luo Li's tenderness towards Wan Er, is he truly wanting to let her go, or is it an act
"Stay here, I'm going to take care of something. Don't wander off."
Feng Lingxi responded, watching Luo Li leave before putting Wan'er down. She looked at the bruise on her forehead and her eyes turned red.
"Does it hurt"
Wan'er shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Feng Lingxi crouched down, took out a medicine bottle, and applied ointment to her wound without asking how she got hurt.
I've been holding back, afraid to show her any concern. Now that she and her mother are together, I really want to give her a big hug.
"Wan'er, Mother may not be a good mother, but you must remember that no matter what she does, it is for your own good."
Feng Lingxi applied ointment for her and looked at her.
"The three elders have told your mother everything that happened to you in the Yao tribe. You're being too mischievous, and if they get angry, what will happen if they beat you to death Remember, when you're not with your parents, learn to bend and yield. Above all, remember that staying alive is the most important thing, understand"
Feng Lingxi knew that she and Wan'er couldn't understand what she was saying, but she still had to say it.
She didn't want the child to hurt herself in order to come out.
The wound on her forehead, if it were a little worse, would scar her face.
She's still just a child, that's how she is. If this continues, what will happen in the future
Feng Lingxi felt sorry for her and was even more afraid that she would get into trouble because of this.
"Mother, where is Father"
Wan'er's voice was soft and cute, but her pronunciation was clear. After more than two months, her daughter spoke much more fluently. Such a change made Feng Lingxi overjoyed, and she hurriedly said, "Wait for us at the inn in the capital city. They won't let your father and mother come together."
Wan'er nodded vaguely, reaching out to hug Feng Lingxi.
"Wǎn'er wants daddy."
Feng Lingxi stroked her head, her voice gentle, "Waner, listen to your mother. I will find a way to take you out and go home with your father."
Wǎn'er obediently replied, in Feng Lingxi's embrace, softly said, "Mother, Wǎn'er loves you."e him, "The Princess dislikes chatterboxes."Lu Nian twitched the corner of her lips, seeing Feng Lingxi already getting on the carriage. Lord Liu and others were all ready and set off toward the slums...
