Chapter 44 Crush

Hearing this, Situ Yelei’s eyes flashed with a strong sense of disgust. Lowering his eyes, he buried his displeasure deep in his heart. He didn’t have the ability to break the engagement with the royal family, so he could only endure!

Feng Zhiyao didn’t like Xuanyuan Lingxi. With a faint smile on her lips, she said, “Head of Situ Family, Princess Lingxi, how are you? Oh, didn’t Head of Situ Family call me too intimate before this?”

Situ Yelei was very sure that this bad girl had purposely angered him!

However, he couldn’t show his anger. He could only smile like a spring breeze and nod towards Wen Xingyuan.

“Xingyuan, congratulations on getting your wish!”

Situ Yelei naturally congratulated Wen Xingyuan on getting the position of Patriarch.

“Hehe, thank you!”

Although Wen Xingyuan was talking to Situ Yelei, his eyes were fixated on Feng Zhiyao’s pretty and delicate face.

Xuanyuan Lingxi was so angry!

Last time, she couldn’t make Feng Zhiyao a fool, but instead, Zixuan made a fool of herself, truly infuriating her to death!

Now, she saw that ever since Situ Yelei saw Feng Zhiyao, he hadn’t once shifted his gaze away, just staring at Feng Zhiyao!

“Brother Xingyuan, why are you with her?”

Strange, Wen Xingyuan was always alone. Even if Beitang Zixuan had tried to befriend him, she had never seen him so close to such a woman. Could it be that Wen Xingyuan had fallen for Feng Zhiyao who seventh brother didn’t want?

“Lingxi, I invited her to ride and relax!”

A warm smile hung on Wen Xingyuan’s lips.

“Right, aren’t you dying from a serious illness?”

“I don’t think there will be many good days left. It’s time to go out and relax!”

Xuanyuan Lingxi had just remembered the rumors saying that the young miss of Feng Family was seriously ill and that the days were running out. She gloated inwardly, but since Situ Yelei beside her, she immediately spoke with a regretful tone.

Feng Zhiyao’s face remained calm when she heard this, because she didn’t care at all. She was the one who told Father Feng to send out these words in the first place!

On the other hand, Wen Xingyuan and Situ Yelei were furious.

“Lingxi, don’t speak so straightforwardly!”

Wen Xingyuan’s expression suddenly turned cold. The way he looked at her became strange.

“Lingxi, you’re a princes, your words and actions represent the royal family …”

In short, Situ Yelei scolded Xuanyuan Lingxi without any vulgarities.

Feng Zhiyao was surprised that Situ Yelei dared to teach his fiancee a lesson. Even Wen Xingyuan could see that Situ Yelei had changed. He had never said anything harsh about Xuanyuan Lingxi before, but now, for Feng Zhiyao, he was actually teaching Xuanyuan Lingxi a lesson!

“Brother Yelei, she …”

“Why is she…”

“Worth your protection?”

This was the first time Situ Yelei had reprimanded her in front of others. Although he hadn’t scolded her without restraint, his words made her feel even more heartache.

That’s right?

Why was Feng Zhiyao worth his protection?

Situ Yelei was also thinking of this question in his heart!

Did he really like Feng Zhiyao?

But when did it start?

When they were on the hill or palyed zither under the moon?

Or when they were by the Da Yu Lake?

When Wen Xingyuan saw Feng Zhiyao happily admiring the wild flowers, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. It turned out that he wasn’t the only one who adored Yao’er!

Even Situ Yelei could tell that Yao’er was a treasure, but he wouldn’t give up on her!

She could only be his!

This was something that hadn’t happened in twenty years. Since he was tempted, he should strive for it. He hoped that in his lifetime, he would be able to ride with Yao’er, enjoying the blue sky and white clouds …

When Xuanyuan Lingxi saw that Situ Yelei still hadn’t jumped on her horse to comfort her, her heart was immediately incensed. She fiercely glared at Feng Zhiyao before whipping her horse away.

” Yelei, Lingxi is angry, hurry up and chase her!”

Wen Xingyuan’s voice rang out. He didn’t want Situ Yelei to stare at Feng Zhiyao with such a fiery gaze, so he reminded him.

“Oh!”

“Alright, let’s talk later!”

Situ Yelei looked at Feng Zhiyao’s charming face with extreme reluctance, then he immediately lifted his whip and rode away.

Even though he was unwilling to part with the beautiful woman he had fallen in love with, he had no choice but to deal with the imperial fiancee. Thus, he could only bitterly laugh as he caught up to Xuanyuan Lingxi’s horse!

” Xingyuan, I want to go back.”

Feng Zhiyao looked at her white and tender skin, which was very red under the blazing sun. She cherished her skin and wanted to go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

“Alright, I’ll send you back.”

Wen Xingyuan felt that he was the one who had asked her out. Naturally, he had the responsibility to send her back safely.

“No need, just send me to the vicinity of the Songhe Restaurant. I’ll go back myself.”

Feng Zhiyao thought of Li Jinran, who had caught a glimpse of her. She couldn’t help but feel itchy in her heart.

She wanted to see the fairy beautiful man!

“Yao’er, I’ll send you back!”

Wen Xingyuan persevered!

“Alright then!”

At worst, tomorrow morning, she would go to see the pretty man at Jiu Yin Temple by herself.

….

She couldn’t wait to see him!

The next day, early in the morning, she was shocked by the imperial concubine’s imperial decree!

“Father, imperial concubine wants to see me, I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing!”

When Feng Zhiyao remembered the horror of the fight in ancient palace, her face showed a face full of disgust.

“Father will bring you into the palace!”

Feng Wucai held his beard and said with a frown.

“Alright.”

With Father Feng’s protection, she should not be in any danger!
