Chapter 972 Deep Hatred
After all, Mrs. Feng was most concerned about her before her death, so it was reasonable for Xiao Zhan to ask her to come back to pay her respects.
However, when Feng Ziqing saw Jiang Xue, she immediately rushed forward, her eyes full of anger: "Jiang Xue, you bitch have caused unrest in the Feng Mansion, and now you have killed our mother, how dare you show up here?"
Before Jiang Xue could speak, Xiao Zhan's cold voice rang out: "Feng Ziqing, my aunt started vomiting blood after returning from Zhaoti Temple, and soon became bedridden. If anyone is to blame for the death of my aunt, then you are the main reason."
Feng Ziqing had already fallen into her own paranoia and could not listen to anything. "Yun Che, you are talking nonsense, my mother was killed by Jiang Xue..."
Xiao Zhan interrupted her directly: "This is my aunt's funeral hall, no one is allowed to cause trouble here.
If you really want to keep vigil for your aunt, then stay here quietly; otherwise, I will have someone send you back to Zhaodaiji Temple immediately. In addition..."
“Xiaoxue is my wife, I will do my best to protect her.
Today I swear in front of my aunt's spirit that if you ever disrespect her again, I will not let you go without her having to do anything. If you don't believe me, you can try it now."
Facing Xiao Zhan's sharp eyes, Feng Ziqing felt like a sharp knife stabbing herself. She felt a chill in her heart and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Xiao Zhan, how can you say such words in front of your mother's spirit? Aren't you afraid that your mother's spirit in heaven will blame you?"
Xiao Zhan sneered: "Even if you want to blame me, I can go to the underworld and apologize to my aunt in person. But as long as I am alive, don't even think about letting Xiaoxue suffer any grievances."
Jiang Xue had suffered a lot because of her aunt, but this would never happen again.
After a pause, he continued: "From now on, you either shut up or leave!"
Feng Ziqing opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
She knelt quietly in front of the mourning hall and burned paper money for Mrs. Feng personally.
Although she is of noble status and should not do so, she is still willing to express her inner respect and remembrance in this way when no one is around.
Although she harbored resentment towards Madam Feng, she knew very well that Madam Feng truly loved her.
With the passing of Madam Feng, she felt even more lonely and helpless.
If it weren't for Jiang Xue, she should have lived an extremely smooth and glorious life, instead of being deserted by her friends and relatives, losing everything, and being hated by everyone.
Feng Ziqing knelt there, his eyes filled with deep hatred.
If she gets the chance in the future, she will make Jiang Xue experience all the sufferings that she has experienced!
On the day Lan Feng returned to the capital, many officials had already gathered outside the city gate to welcome him.
When he appeared in sight with his army, the leading official immediately stepped forward, first said a few words of compliment, and then handed him a glass of wine as a symbol of victory.
However, after Lan Feng took the wine, he did not drink it immediately, but asked: "Where are Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prime Minister?"
Normally, whether for official or personal reasons, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan should come to greet him in person, unless something important happened and they could not get away.
This made him feel a little uneasy. After all, they had gone through so many hardships to be together, and they shouldn't encounter more misfortunes.
"General Lan, you don't know that Madam Feng passed away the night before. Currently, the Prime Minister and the Princess are keeping vigil in the mansion, so they are unable to come to greet you."
Hearing this, Lan Feng frowned: "Mrs. Feng passed away?"
Although he knew that Madam Feng had conspired with Feng Ziqing to deal with Jiang Xue, he did not think this was good news.
Xiao Zhan had deep feelings for Madam Feng and could be said to regard her as his own mother. Now that she has passed away, Xiao Zhan must be very sad, and if Xiao Zhan is sad, Jiang Xue will definitely be sad too.
Lan Feng hurried back home and found Jiang Xiaowei was already waiting for him there.
He strode towards her and before she could say anything, he hugged her tightly in his arms.
At this moment, his heart calmed down.
Jiang Xiaowei was surprised at first, because Lan Feng had never been so proactive with her, and then she blushed: "Husband, don't... don't do this, there are people watching."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhinian, the dowry maid, smiled and said, "General, Miss, I didn't see anything, you can continue."
After saying that, she covered her eyes and ran away. Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaowei's face became even redder: "This girl is really..."
"Xiaowei, don't say anything, let me hug you."
Lan Feng's voice came from her neck: "I have been on the battlefield all this time, and I really miss you."
His hands were covered with traces of battle, and it seemed that only her innocence could wash them away.
Jiang Xiaowei didn't say anything else, just let him hold her quietly.
Although the armor was hard and cold, making her feel uncomfortable, she felt it was worth it.
After a long time, Lan Feng finally let her go, but his big hand still gently stroked her cheek: "Did you miss me?"
Jiang Xiaowei's face flushed again, but she looked him in the eye bravely: "I do, very much. Thinking about you during the day will make me distracted, and thinking about you at night will make me lose sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Feng lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.
Jiang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
This was the first time he kissed her while he was conscious, and her thoughts instantly blossomed like a flower.
When Lan Feng left her lips, she was still immersed in shock. He couldn't help but chuckle: "Xiao Wei!"
Jiang Xiaowei finally came back to her senses and called out hesitantly, "Husband...husband?"
"I love you."
Lan Feng's eyes were filled with her image: "From now on, I will love you very much and accompany you throughout your life."
Normally he was a reserved person and he would never have said such words before.
But after witnessing the painful experiences of Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, he decided not to have any regrets and wanted to make up for the time he had missed.
Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, tears flashing in her eyes. Although she was willing to wait for him, at this moment, knowing that her deep affection was not betrayed, she couldn't help crying with joy.
"My husband, I love you very much, too. From now on, I will respect you, love you, and follow you for the rest of my life until death does us part."
Lan Feng quickly covered her mouth: "Don't say that. In the days to come, we will always be together, without separation and sorrow."
Jiang Xiaowei nodded in agreement and repeated the last sentence firmly: "I only hope that our love will be deep and long-lasting, without the sadness of parting."
Lan Feng hugged her tightly in his arms again, feeling grateful to have met such a good wife, which was truly a blessing from his previous life.
After a long while, Jiang Xiaowei said, "My husband, I believe you have heard about my aunt's death. I have asked someone to prepare hot water. When you wash off the dust from the journey, we will go to Feng Mansion to pay our respects together."
