Feng Shengrui had been feeling an indescribable anxiety. When he learned that Yan Lingxiao might have lost control due to the poison, this news was like a thunderbolt that made him unable to sit idly by.

When he saw that Crown Prince Yan Lingxiao and Lin Shengyang both appeared in the Zhan Wang Mansion, their eyes flashed with unknown calculations. Feng Shengrui's heart tightened, he knew that this was not as simple as Lin Shengyang said, just to comfort the Zhan Wang.

At this time, he saw his daughter Feng Yanan, who appeared in front of him safely, without any injuries. On the contrary, her eyes revealed determination and intelligence. Feng Shengrui breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the appearance of Yan Wuji and Lin Shengyang was undoubtedly to find something to hold against the War King in order to win him over.

Feng Yanan did not immediately salute the two princes, but slowly walked towards Feng Shengrui, with a hint of stubbornness in her steps. She had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed some complicated emotions. She spoke only after she came in front of Feng Shengrui, with a hint of anger and coquettishness in her voice.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?" she asked, with a hint of complaint in her tone. As she got closer, she could see the faint sadness on her father's face and the majesty that was inadvertently revealed between his brows. A trace of heartache flashed through her heart, but she continued, "So that your daughter can come out to greet you."

Feng Shengrui looked at his daughter, with a hint of doting and helplessness in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his daughter's head, but finally stopped in mid-air. He sighed and said, "Yanan, Dad just wants to come and see you, there's no need to make such a grand ceremony."

Feng Yanan felt a warm current in her heart after hearing this. She knew that her father must have listened to the slander of some villains when he came to the Zhan Palace today. She bit her lip lightly, then raised her head, looked into her father's eyes, and said seriously: "Dad, are you worried about something?

Feng Shengrui looked at his daughter's serious face, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He knew Yan Wuji's ambitions, but at this moment, he pretended to know nothing. He stood up and turned his gaze to Yan Wuji, his eyes revealing a hint of innocence and doubt. He deliberately spoke, with a hint of helplessness and gratitude in his voice: "In fact, before coming to Prince Zhan's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already contacted me."

Yan Wuji frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. He looked at Feng Shengrui, trying to find any flaws in his expression. But Feng Shengrui seemed to be completely unaware of his emotional changes. He continued, "The Crown Prince said that he was worried that the poison of the War King would accidentally hurt you, so Dad was also worried about you and wanted to come and see you." He said this as if to Feng Yanan, and even more to the people present. He was just worried about his daughter, and he didn't mean anything else. He would not go along with the Crown Prince.

At this point, Feng Shengrui paused, and his eyes turned to Yan Wuji, with a grateful smile on his face. He bowed his hands, and his voice was filled with deep gratitude: "I, your old minister, would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his concern."

Yan Wuji looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He nodded lightly, responding to Feng Shengrui's courtesy.

Feng Shengrui's movements and words were extremely natural, as if he was completely unaware of Yan Wuji's ambitions, but his heart was full of vigilance and calmness.

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shengrui keenly sensed a hint of tension in the air. He looked up and saw Lin Shengyang snorting coldly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing Feng Shengrui. Her voice was full of obvious dissatisfaction and reproach: "General Feng's beloved daughter really doesn't know etiquette and doesn't know how to respect and humble! The two princes are here, but she doesn't pay respect first. How can this be considered decent!"

Feng Shengrui frowned slightly, thinking that something was not right. He knew that Lin Shengyang's words were not groundless, and Feng Yanan did not salute the two princes present, which was indeed against the rules in terms of etiquette.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he kept a decent smile on his face, bowed to Lin Shengyang and said: "Master Lin is right, Yanan really doesn't know etiquette, I will teach her well."

His words were full of humility and sincerity, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination. He knew that he could not conflict with Lin Shengyang at this time, otherwise it would only give Yan Wuji and others something to talk about.

However, his words did not calm Lin Shengyang's anger. She glanced at Feng Yanan coldly, with a hint of disdain in her voice: "Master Feng, etiquette cannot be learned by a lesson. Miss Feng does not know the difference between respect and inferiority. If everyone is like this, won't our Dongling country become a laughing stock of the world?"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Feng Shengrui's heart hard.

Feng Shengrui couldn't stand it any longer. His face darkened and his eyes flashed with anger. He didn't think Feng Yanan was wrong, and he didn't think Lin Shengyang was qualified to accuse her like this.

"Lord Lin," Feng Shengrui said with a hint of coldness in his voice, "My daughter's behavior may be inappropriate, but your words are too extreme. How can a country's laughing stock be decided by just one person?"
