Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1319 Do you want me to investigate Weasley?

　　After having breakfast, Feng Shufen wanted to stay back to help Li Xue. But when he saw her all adamant in sending him away, he could only leave. Still, to not let her do everything by herself, he asked Sister Margaret to incorporate a few maids to help her even if Li Xue didn't want them to do anything. 

　　Li Xue felt it troublesome seeing the two maids following her every now and then. So, in the end, she did nothing with them but delegated a few things to look after. When she was gone, she looked at Sister Margaret who was still there to tail her around. "Now, Sister Margaret, I wouldn't be able to ask you to leave." 

　　The old lady smiled knowing the intention with which Li Xue said those words. Keeping her politeness well, she said, "Madam, I am here to help you. Even if you ask, I can't let you do everything on your own." 

　　Li Xue pouted and could only let the lady accompany her around. In actuality she had no problem letting her follow her around, it's just that whenever she notices her age, she felt uncomfortable keeping her in tow. But since the lady was not going to hear her out, he could just let her be. Also, for some point, it was better with her around. She would be able to learn more about the Feng family.

　　"Sister Margaret, you have been in the Feng family for quite a long time, right?" Li Xue asked and the old lady nodded to her. To which, Li Xue smiled to further add, "Then will you tell me who I should invite to the party? I am confused. I asked Shufen about it as well but he said it would be troublesome to invite them. What do you say about it?" 

　　She asked and the old lady paused in her thoughts before commenting, "Madam, what Young Master said is not wrong. The relatives could really be troublesome sometimes. Especially when they have been looking for you desperately. But since they have also been a part of the Feng family, it won't also look good if you don't invite them. After all, sooner or later, you would be becoming the matriarch of the family. Then you would have to see them equally" 

　　Li Xue's brows quirked up at her words as getting amused, she asked, "They are desperately looking for me?" She had never known that. Not until that she was now hearing it from Sister Margaret. 

　　Sister Margaret nodded. "Yes, Madam. Recently, many of them are looking for ways to get some talk with you. We are rejecting their requests almost every day but they have been diligent." 

　　"You all are rejecting their requests without even asking me. Have you never asked them why they are reaching me?" Li Xue asked and the old lady shook her head. Her expression looked all serious. 

　　"Madam, you were busy in the recent days and when we reached Young Master with this matter, he asked us to reject all of them. So, we did accordingly. Although we have never asked their reason behind reaching you, there have been words getting around in the family saying that the relatives are trying their best to come in your good books." 

　　At her say like that, Li Xue couldn't help but chuckle. "Weren't all of them despising me when we last met. Then how come they want to get into my good books? Have they already given up thinking that they won't be able to stop me from getting the matriarch position anymore?" 

　　The expression on Sister Margaret's face deepened and in one glance it was evident that the lady know better than anyone else. 

　　"Sister Margaret, you can tell me. It's not like I would have time to overthink it. You know that I need to make preparations for the birthday party, I won't have time to bother about this stuff." Li Xue somewhat read the thoughts of the old lady and said. 

　　Sister Margaret stared at Li Xue. It was not like she wanted to hide things from Li Xue. But at the same time, she doesn't want to speak something that would be out of her line. Furthermore, things were even not confirmed to her. She has just heard the things other maids have been talking about among themselves. 

　　"Madam, I am not sure but it's about something that's trending on the internet. The relatives might have believed it and that's why they have been reaching you out." She said and it took some while for Li Xue to realize it. 

　　News trending on the internet! It almost slipped out of her mind. People were still talking about how His Royal Highness has come to rescue her. They were still speculating about her relationship and connection with the Royals that brought them all in her support. Not just Shin Tingming but also Her Highness and the Crown Prince. 

　　"Madam, if you want to meet them, I would ask the maids to not reject more of their calls. We can …" 

　　Before Sister Margaret could say more, Li Xue waved her hand to refuse her, "There is no need, Sister Margaret. Since Shufen has already said to reject their calls, then let it be like that." She said and the old lady nodded to her.

　　"So, do we need to send the invitations to the birthday party?" 

　　Li Xue paused for a moment as thinking about something, she nodded. "Yes, we should send them the invites. Since it's is a simple family birthday party, there is nothing to create a fuss about it." 

　　Sister Margaret nodded understandingly. "Got it, Madam. I will ask someone to make proper arrangements for the invitations." She said and seeing Li Xue nod, she turned to make arrangements as said. 

　　*** 

　　On the other side when the relatives got the invitation, they finally felt like getting the opportunity they had been seeking all this while. Gossips run in the air as almost all of them rushed to make arrangements to appear at the party. 

　　Although on the invitation, it was stated that the birthday would be celebrated among the members of the family, still, they can't fail in making a good birthday present for the little girl. After all, she was not just anyone but the first child of the next generation of the family. Also, seeing how Feng Yu Hao and Feng Shufen dote on her, the relatives could only be extra careful in deciding the things. 

　　As the gossip got into the air, it didn't take long to reach the ears of Zheng Qinrou. In recent days, she was handling her own horror when she heard of Feng Shufen planning to celebrate the little one's birthday. 

　　She really was confused at his thoughts. She was here waiting for her death sentence every day, yet there the man was easing around as if he simply doesn't know anything. What were his plans actually? 

　　No matter how Zhen Qinrou thought about it, she could simply not think of anything. Was Feng Shufen planning to hide this secret for his own profit? 

　　Zhen Qinrou was not sure. Although DNA test results have been presented to her several times, she has never believed them. How could that be even possible? 

　　Six years back it was her who weaved the trap to trap him from which Yun Yuchun has easily saved him. Then how come based on the same year, there was still a daughter who call Shufen as his father. The thing doesn't make sense until the little one gets proved to share the blood with some other man and not Feng Shufen. 

　　She has been thinking the same thing several times, yet every time she analyzes the things, the turn of events simply doesn't feel to make sense. 

　　The only thing that appear to make sense was not just Yun Yuchun but even Feng Shufen was making life hell for her. Can't they just let her live in peace? Why are they around when she clearly wants them out of everything? 

　　As she thought it again, throbbing pain in her head almost made it impossible for her. Not able to hold it inside, she clawed on the bedsheets before tearing them apart with a low growl. "Yuchun, I have suffered all my life because of you. But do you think I would also die like this? Dream on. I would let you know how one person could still drown a kingdom down while lying on the deathbed. Just wait and see." 

　　She said as a dark glint crossed her eyes before she took the phone to make a call to someone. 

　　*** 

　　Back in Our Paradise, Li Xue was busy making arrangements when suddenly her phone rang. Seeing it was Feng Shufen calling she received it. "Hello, Mr. Beelzebub, if you have called to ask me about the arrangements, I would say, that there is a lot left and your call like this is just keeping me away from finishing it. So, please disconnect the call and let me handle my work here." 

　　She said and was ready to disconnect the call hearing him hum on the other side. But instead from the other side, Feng Shufen asked her something that paused her in her thoughts. 

　　"Do you want me to investigate, Weasley?"
