Although he was currently very favored in the Xiao residence, he could not just go to someone else's house as a guest without saying a word. Wouldn't that be giving people a chance to talk? In a while, when Xiao Xun and Xiao Lingyi went back to inform their father about this, Miss Chen would probably blame him for not knowing etiquette and being arrogant because of his favor.
"How can it be a bother? You're my savior. I want my parents to thank you properly so that others won't say that our Tuoba family has lost our manners.”Xiao Ling still wanted to refuse, but Tuoba Feng pulled a long face and said," Don't refuse anymore. Hurry up and get off the car, or I'll get angry."”
Before Xiao Ling could say anything, Tuoba Feng pulled Xiao Ling and jumped off the carriage. Xiao Ling followed behind him shyly. After taking a few steps, Madam Tuoba immediately pounced over, looking much more haggard.
It seemed that General Tuoba and the Tuoba couple had already found out about what had happened in the palace. Seeing the faint traces of tears on Madam Tuoba's face, Xiao Ling's heart sank. Indeed, the hearts of parents were pitiful. Tuoba Feng held onto Xiao Ling's hand tightly. Before Xiao Ling could refuse to enter the manor, General Tuoba and Madam Tuoba had already rushed over to welcome him.
"Feng 'er, you're finally back. I was so worried.”Madam Tuoba wrapped her arms around Tuoba Feng's shoulders and leaned her head against his shoulder as she started crying. Her tears left a mark on Tuoba Feng's silk clothes. "Mother, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine.”
Tuoba Feng giggled. His complexion was much better than before. He didn't look like he had almost lost his life just now. He was completely different from the Tuoba Feng who had been scared to death. Tuoba's wife heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter jumping around. She gently caressed Tuoba Feng's face, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Feng 'er, you must be frightened. Don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt our Feng' er.”Tuoba Feng giggled, and her melodious laughter reached Lady Tuoba's ears, making her even more upset. She stared at Tuoba Feng's smiling face and tears began to flow down her cheeks.
"Fortunately, you came back. Otherwise, I would have rushed into the palace and risked my life to save my Feng 'er.”As soon as Madam Tuoba said that, General Tuoba's expression changed. He looked around and nudged Madam Tuoba with his elbow.
"Madam, what nonsense are you spouting? Is this something you can say?”Madam Tuoba was obviously still immersed in the fact that Tuoba Feng had almost lost his life, and her grief had taken the upper hand. "That's right. Her Emperor wants my daughter's life, so why can't I say a few words?”
General Tuoba looked around and hurriedly pulled Madam Tuoba to stop her from speaking." Alright, alright, stop talking. Miss Xiao has been standing at the door for a long time. Hurry up and invite her into the residence."”It was only then that Madam Tuoba saw Xiao Ling, who was standing next to her in a daze. She lifted her sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before squeezing out a smile at Xiao Ling.
"Miss Xiao, we were rude. Look, we made you stand for so long. Come, come, come, quickly come in.”Xiao Ling smiled sweetly and followed Madam Tuoba into the Tuoba Manor. Madam Tuoba was a princess and was willing to risk her life for the sake of her daughter. General Tuoba would definitely be willing to risk his life for his daughter as well. Tuoba Feng was still scared out of his wits just now, but he was forcing a smile now, hoping that the two elders would be at ease.
This was what they often talked about, family love. It was a luxury that he had always dreamed of. He had never seen his birth mother. Everyone said that she was dead, but Xiao Ling always had a strange feeling that she was not dead. She was still alive. Miss Chen wanted to climb up and wished that Xiao Ling would immediately go to see the King of Hell. Her father was away all year round and did not care much about the matters in the residence. How could Xiao Ling know what kinship was?
"Ling-er, what's wrong? You don't look good.”Before they knew it, the group had already entered the Tuoba Manor. Tuoba Feng held Xiao Ling's hand and said several times, indicating for her to sit down. However, Xiao Ling remained unmoved. Her pair of mysterious and beautiful eyes stared straight ahead. There was not a single trace of unusual light in her pupils. She was completely out of her mind.
"Oh, it's fine. I'm sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me, Madam Tuoba and General Tuoba.”Tuoba Feng softly called out Xiao Ling's name, and Xiao Ling finally regained her senses. She smiled awkwardly at Tuoba Feng, then slowly bowed when she saw the strange expressions on Lady Tuoba and General Tuoba's faces.
General Tuoba waved his hand and said that he was fine. He invited Xiao Ling to sit down. Lady Tuoba was also a considerate lady. Xiao Ling glanced at Lady Tuoba. This was Princess Fengyang, the elder sister of Princess Dongyang, the wife of Prime Minister An. They were clearly sisters, but why was there such a huge difference? One was gentle and gentle, while the other was ruthless.
"Ling-er just saw the deep affection between Sister Mop and the General's wife and thought of herself, so she was distracted. General and Madam, please don't blame Ling-er for being rude.”General Tuoba slapped his thigh and laughed. He was a martial artist after all, so he was much more forthright. He was not like those scholars who made people feel uncomfortable.
" Miss Xiao, you must be joking. You just saved Feng 'er's life, my life, and the lives of everyone in the Tuoba Family. You're Feng' er's savior, my savior, and the Tuoba Family's savior as well. Besides, you're reminded of your father. How can we blame you?”
Xiao Ling was shocked that she had become the savior of the entire Tuoba Family in just a few hours. However, she quickly thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Tuoba Feng was the only son of the General and the beloved daughter of the General and his wife. Furthermore, this matter was of utmost importance. If something were to happen to her daughter, his future would be ruined. Wouldn't she be the savior of the entire Tuoba Family?
"General, you're exaggerating. I'm only saying what I know. Moreover, Sister Tuoba and I are like sisters and are deeply taken care of by Sister Tuoba. These few words are simply insignificant. General and Madam don't have to take it to heart.”The General and Madam looked at each other. They originally thought that Xiao Ling would use this matter to ask for some benefits from them. They did not expect that at such a young age, she was so obedient and sensible. She was really likable.
General Tuoba nodded and slowly sat down. He thought carefully. This Xiao Ling was so young, yet she had such knowledge and was so shrewd. She seemed to be very sincere towards Feng 'er. If it was someone else, they would have already sided with the evidence. With her by Feng' er's side to take care of her, they would save a lot of effort.
Madam Tuoba glanced at the general. She seemed to know what the general was thinking about. Before the general could speak, she asked about Xiao Ling's family matters in a friendly manner. "Young Lady Xiao said earlier that she thought of her own home. I think that since Young Lady Xiao left the palace and did not return home, her family must be extremely anxious.”
Xiao Ling nodded and did not know how to reply. She did not know what Madam Tuoba meant by this and whether she was asking her to leave or not. Just as she was thinking of an excuse to leave, Tuoba Feng interjected," Mother, I was the one who dragged Ling-er in. I want you to thank Ling-er, the person who saved the entire Tuoba Residence."”
The general's wife stood up and gently stroked Tuoba Feng's head. She took off the jade hairpin on her head and helped her comb her hair." You're really reckless, girl. Look, your hair is messy. I have no intention of chasing Miss Xiao away. I like Miss Xiao very much too. I want to call someone to inform the Xiao residence so that they won't worry. If Miss Xiao doesn't mind," Madam Tuoba said as she looked at the sky. It was already dusk. The dazzling sunlight was gone, and the faint sunset shone with its afterglow, turning the sky into a rosy color.
"It's getting late. If you don't mind, stay for dinner and rest here for the night. It would also allow us to properly thank Miss Xiao.”Xiao Ling was about to refuse when Tuoba Feng immediately grabbed Madam Tuoba's waist and acted like a spoiled child. Xiao Ling's heart ached when she saw such an intimate scene. If she looked at it for a while longer, she might even burst into tears.
"Mother is the best. Feng 'er wants to sleep on the same bed as Ling' er, okay?”Madam Tuoba caressed Tuoba Feng's hair lovingly. Although she was grumbling, her tone was filled with love as she said," You're already so old, yet you're still so clingy. Which young master will be able to stand it in the future? Let's see who will still marry you."”
Tuoba Feng suddenly let go of Madam Tuoba. His face, which was smiling like a flower just now, instantly turned serious." Marry? I'm the daughter of the General's manor, and I still have to marry him. I should be the one marrying him. That way, Feng 'er can stay by Father and Mother's side for the rest of her life.”General Tuoba was very happy when he heard that. He walked over happily. The happy scene of the family of three really made Xiao Ling, a motherless outsider, envious.
"Feng 'er is right. In the future, we have to marry someone who is skilled in both literature and martial arts to continue the Tuoba family's lineage!”After saying that, the family of three gathered together and completely ignored Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling lowered her head and her clear eyes dimmed. She muttered in her heart," Mother, where are you? Ling-er misses you."”
Seeing Xiao Ling sitting there alone, Tuoba Feng quickly jumped out and held Xiao Ling's hand. She didn't look like the child who was acting coquettishly in her parents 'arms." Ling' er, you heard it. I promised mother that I would sleep on the same bed as you. Don't reject my request. Otherwise, I will be unhappy."”
Xiao Ling was more than happy to do so. The cold Xiao Residence was like hell, and she would die without a complete corpse if she was not careful. It was not as warm as the Tuoba Residence, where everyone smiled when they saw her. At least Xiao Ling knew that they were sincere, which made her feel a little more comforted.
