Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

As night fell and the lights came on, the Baili family residence was ablaze with light, a scene of bustling activity. Dongjun's mother carefully prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain Fengxi and Sikong Changfeng, expressing her gratitude for their previous care for Dongjun.

Just as everyone was about to sit down to enjoy dinner, Baili Luochen quietly called his beloved grandson Dongjun to the study. After entering the study, Dongjun stood respectfully before his grandfather, waiting for his grandfather to speak.

Baili Luochen smiled and asked gently, "Dong Jun, I heard you brought a girl back with you this time. I wonder if this girl is your sweetheart?"

Hearing this, Dong Jun was stunned at first, then a mischievous smile appeared on his face. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, please don't say such nonsense! If this gets out, it will ruin Miss Feng Xi's reputation!"

However, Baili Luochen didn't give up. He smiled and continued to ask, "If that's the case, then you must be in love with this girl. My dear grandson, I know you best. Although you are simple-minded, you would never bring a strange woman home for no reason."

Faced with his grandfather's relentless questioning, Baili Dongjun pondered for a moment before answering earnestly, "Grandfather, to be honest, this Miss Feng Xi is truly extraordinary. Initially, neither Brother Changfeng nor I realized she possessed martial arts skills, until later, by chance, we discovered how profound her abilities truly were. Furthermore, even more remarkable is that Miss Feng Xi is also proficient in medicine, and her skills are truly exceptional. She is incredibly kindhearted, often generously donating rare elixirs because she can't bear to see others suffer. However, she is by no means the kind of person who gives without principles or indiscriminately. Whenever she offers a helping hand, she always states the conditions and never forces anyone to accept."

After listening to this, Baili Luochen frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know the specific situation of this girl's family?"

Baili Dongjun thought for a moment before answering, "Grandpa, I once heard her asking my uncle about the truth behind the shocking murder of the Lin family, the richest family in Jiangnan. She told me herself that she was the only legitimate daughter of the Lin family who had survived."

Baili Luochen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, Grandpa will send someone to verify this matter later. But, let me ask you again, do you like this girl?"

Dongjun hesitated for a moment, but finally replied with a blushing face: "Well, Grandpa, I do have some feelings for her."

Baili Luochen burst into laughter upon hearing this, and said in a loud voice: "Hahahaha, that's great! In that case, I'll ask your mother to find an opportunity to test the waters with that girl in a few days. If you two are interested in each other, then we'll finalize this marriage..."

However, at this moment, Baili Dongjun suddenly remembered what his uncle had said before, that there seemed to be some connection between the Lin family's extermination case and the imperial court. He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Grandpa, if Miss Feng Xi's family's extermination is really related to the imperial court, will you and Dad still agree to let us be together?"

Baili Luochen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "As long as Dongjun likes it, these are not a problem!" His majestic face looked particularly convincing under the sunlight.

Dongjun, standing nearby, smiled and nodded in agreement. Just then, a servant hurried over, bowed respectfully, and announced, "Everyone, please proceed to the hall for dinner." The group then stood up and headed for the hall.

When they arrived at the spacious, brightly lit hall, they saw a large round table laden with sumptuous dishes, the air overflowing with aroma. Baili Luochen spoke first, bowing to Sikong Changfeng, who sat at the head of the table, and sincerely expressing his gratitude. "Little Brother Sikong, I am deeply grateful for your careful care of Dongjun these days." He then turned to look at Feng Xi beside him and said with a smile, "Miss Fengxi, why don't you stay at the mansion for a while? It's a great opportunity for Dongjun to show you the beautiful scenery of Qiandong City."

Feng Xi blushed when she heard that. She smiled shyly and nodded lightly in response, "I'm sorry to bother the Marquis of Zhenbei and my uncle and aunt." Then, everyone sat down and began to enjoy the delicious food.

After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, Baili Luochen informed his daughter-in-law of his earlier discussion with Dongjun and instructed her to test the waters of Miss Fengxi's feelings. To avoid any awkwardness, he dismissed the other attendants, leaving only his daughter-in-law to accompany Miss Fengxi. Meanwhile, Dongjun bid farewell to the others and headed off to find his master, the Confucian Immortal.

In the courtyard, a gentle breeze blew, and green trees shaded the grounds. The Crown Prince's Consort ordered someone to bring exquisite tea sets and personally brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Feng Xi. The two sat opposite each other. The Crown Prince's Consort smiled and asked softly, "Where are you from, young lady?"

Feng Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, slowly put it down, and replied with a slightly sad look in her eyes, "Aunt, I am from Jiangnan. My family was once the richest in Jiangnan, and our surname is Lin... Unfortunately, two months ago, we met with misfortune and our entire family was wiped out." At this point, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, her eyes reddening as she seemed to recall that tragic past. The Crown Prince's Consort was stunned after hearing what Feng Xi said. She looked a little flustered and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm so sorry! Miss, I didn't expect me to bring up such a sad thing for you! It's really my fault!"

Feng Xi smiled slightly, a smile tinged with bitterness and helplessness, and replied softly, "Aunt, it's alright. I know you want to ask about me. To be honest, ever since my family was tragically wiped out, I'm the only one who luckily survived. As for the various opportunities I've experienced during that time, I'm sorry I can't elaborate. But please rest assured, Aunt, I have absolutely no ill will towards Dongjun."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's Consort knew that Miss Feng Xi must have misunderstood, and she hurriedly explained, "Miss Feng Xi, please don't overthink it! That good-for-nothing boy of ours truly loves you from the bottom of his heart! That's why my family and I thought we'd ask you for your opinion first. If you're both interested, our two families can arrange the marriage first, and then choose an auspicious date to bring this happy marriage to fruition!"

Feng Xi was startled at first when she heard this, then a wry smile appeared on her face, and she slowly said, "Princess Consort, I'm sure you're aware that the imperial court was involved in the extermination of my Lin family. If I really get together with Dongjun, it might not be a good thing for the Zhenbei Marquisate. Although I was once the legitimate daughter of the richest family in Jiangnan, and a lady praised by everyone, now I am the only one left in the huge Lin family. Why would your Zhenbei Marquisate get involved in this storm and wade into this muddy water..."

The Crown Prince's Consort smiled faintly and said softly, "I come from a martial arts family, so I naturally don't care too much about these red tape. Besides, Grandpa Dongjun and my father are both battle-hardened generals. They value a person's character and ability more than those external reputations. As for that person's fear of my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it has been a long-standing thing. Now that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has long been a thorn in his side, what's the harm in being a little more cautious? In short, as long as Dongjun truly likes it, we will fully support it... So, young lady, what do you think? Can you give me a definite answer?"

Feng Xi lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally responded, "Okay! In that case, let's set the engagement ceremony for three days from now. I just received news that the people sent by that person will arrive in Qiandong City in three days. By then, I'm afraid there will be some trouble!"

The Crown Princess was surprised and asked quickly, "How did you know this?"

Feng Xi raised her head, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon, and she spoke slowly, "Ever since Dongjun performed the Western Chu Hegemony Song in the Sword Forest, he must have received the news and quickly sent people to investigate. In my opinion, this visit is most likely just a test, but we can't let our guard down. But don't worry, I'm here to keep everyone safe."

After hearing this, the Crown Prince's Consort's heart settled down a little. She opened her red lips and said happily, "That's great. This is such great news. I must go and report it to Grandpa Dongjun and his father." Before she finished speaking, she turned around like a light butterfly and hurried away with brisk and eager steps.
