Chapter 429: Then We Must Thank Her Properly

429. Chapter 429: Then We Must Thank Her Properly

Feng An Nuan watched Feng Ye reach toward her; she placed her hand on his, letting him help her inside.

Come in.

Feng An Nuan saw King Xuan here as well, and hurriedly bowed: "Daughter‑in‑law…"

"You're already pregnant; from now on you needn't bow to me any more."

King Xuan spoke gently, his eyes warm.

He did not wait for Feng An Nuan to speak.

King Xuan called Feng Ye out to talk: "You said you want to take Di Wu Lan Ge as a secondary wife. Do you know her? If you marry her, what must Feng An Nuan think?"

He said so.

Feng Ye grew uneasy.

"Father, I've already decided to marry her; do you think I understand? As for what Feng An Nuan thinks, I'm the one dealing with her. Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and several concubines? Moreover, she's pregnant now and can't attend to me; what's wrong with taking a secondary wife?"

He, the dignified crown prince, could possibly still fear a single woman?

If this spreads, how will everyone talk about him?

King Xuan's face darkened.

"You're probably forgetting that Feng An Nuan's grandfather is the Prime Minister! We're trying to win over the Feng family; after you do this, can Feng An Nuan just let it pass? Can her grandfather just let it pass?"

He finished and added: "I don't care what you think; in any case, you may not marry her now."

Feng Ye had now calmed down, so said nothing.

King Xuan left after a short while.

Feng Ye strode into the room where Di Wu Lan Ge lived; at that moment, Feng An Nuan had just withdrawn her gaze from her.

"Wife…"

Feng An Nuan looked straight at Feng Ye and asked, "Husband, who is she, and how was she injured?"

Seeing her ask.

Feng Ye replied, "She's called Di Wu Lan Ge; she saved me twice. This time she was injured while rescuing me, which is why I was so eager to bring her back from outside earlier."

Feng An Nuan gave a faint smile and said, "I see. Then we really must thank her properly."

Feng Ye grasped her hand.

"Wife, that's what you said."

Feng Ye arranged for someone to look after Di Wu Lan Ge, then left this place together with Feng An Nuan.

Around midnight.

Di Wu Lan Ge broke out in a high fever; the caretaker immediately ran to report to Feng Ye.

Feng Ye was sharing a bed with Feng An Nuan tonight; hearing that Di Wu Lan Ge had a fever, he wanted to check on her, but recalling his father's words, he sent someone to request the Manor Physician.

"Husband, won't you take a look?"

Feng An Nuan asked softly.

Feng Ye pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm no doctor; what good would it do if I go? Besides, I have duties tomorrow. If I don't rest well, how can I work tomorrow? Enough talk—let's sleep quickly."

He said so.

But Feng Ye didn't fall asleep until a while later.

At dawn, he got up.

Feng Ye went to inquire about Di Wu Lan Ge's condition, sat by the bedside for a while, whispered a few words, gave the servants some instructions, then went to have breakfast and attend court.

Feng An Nuan didn't know what Feng Ye had told his subordinates, but she knew he had gone to see Di Wu Lan Ge early.

She thought that Feng Ye might have fallen for Di Wu Lan Ge.

Feng An Nuan's hand involuntarily tightened around the handkerchief she held; she didn't love Feng Ye, but feared he might love someone else—once that happened, her position as the primary wife would become precarious.

She had sacrificed so much, schemed so much, become the crown prince's consort—how could she tolerate such a thing happening?

Seeing that Di Wu Lan Ge still hadn't awakened, she had intended to give her Medicine to kill her.

Never would she have thought.

The Medicine Di Wu Lan Ge took was brewed by a specialist, and many guards stood outside the small kitchen, forbidding anyone else to approach, including her.

Feng An Nuan felt quite displeased, but she didn't cause a scene with them.
