Chapter 47 She Doesn't Want Her Scumbag Ex-Husband Anymore 7
Everyone bowed their heads in respect, but couldn't help but steal glances at the flying sedan chair.
Although the Phoenix Clan can fly on their own, they often travel in flying sedan chairs to demonstrate their status and prestige.
At today's family banquet in Xuyang, the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen rode together in a flying sedan chair, while Ji Xiaosong and Feng Cangwu rode hand in hand in another sedan chair.
All eyes were fixed on the structure behind them; everyone knew that it was the princess's flying palanquin.
As the flying sedan slowly landed, the crowd's gazes grew even more intense and curious.
When Feng Cangwu stepped out of the flying sedan chair, he first revealed a long and powerful hand. Then he appeared with a tall and straight figure. His magnificent robes accentuated his imposing presence, and his handsome appearance was extraordinary. His brows and eyes revealed an innate nobility and majesty, yet he was also gentle and refined.
A soft gasp and whispers arose from the crowd.
"This is the eldest princess's husband. He is indeed a handsome man."
"Look at his demeanor, he is indeed a worthy match for the Princess."
"I originally thought that the Princess was angry when she didn't choose Elder Xu, but now that I see the person in front of me, it's obvious that Elder Xu is not good enough for the Princess."
"You should all keep quiet. Today is Elder Xu's family banquet. We were invited here to see him show off that he has an heir. Don't be gossipy women."
Feng Cangwu overheard everyone's discussion and calmly helped Ji Xiaosong down from the flying sedan chair.
"Madam, please be careful. Did the child cause you any trouble on the way here?"
wow...
Everyone was shocked.
Is the eldest princess pregnant too?
The Phoenix Clan already has a shortage of offspring, and the royal princesses have all become pregnant after only one month of marriage. How envious must those who have tried for thousands of years without having a child be? They must be green with envy.
Xu Yang stared intently at Ji Xiaosong. If his gaze could materialize, he would have loved to bore a hole through the other man.
However, considering that this woman wouldn't be able to produce any good offspring, and that the Phoenix Clan wasn't a place where red phoenixes were everywhere, he knew that there were very few red phoenixes still alive today.
He had never seen this son-in-law before, and assumed he was just an unknown nobody.
Otherwise, given his status and position, they would have gotten to know each other long ago.
Having confirmed this, Xu Yang's expression improved considerably.
He stepped forward to greet the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen, behaving like a true host.
"Welcome Phoenix King, Phoenix Queen, and Princess."
Xu Yang bowed slightly, his face full of smiles, and gestured for them to come in. "Please come in quickly. Fine wine and delicacies have been prepared inside, and we are just waiting for you to take your seats."
The Phoenix King nodded slightly, and together with Ji Xiaosong and Feng Cangwu, he and the Phoenix Queen entered the mansion under the guidance of Xu Yang.
Feng Cangwu kept one arm around Ji Xiaosong from beginning to end, making her look exactly like a pampered wife.
As for why Xu Yang didn't greet him, that's not important.
Someone like him doesn't deserve to know me.
Both Feng Cangwu and Xu Yang believed that the other was unworthy of them, but neither of them knew the other's true situation and thoughts.
When the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen are seated, everyone else must stand up and pay their respects.

"Greetings to the Phoenix King, Phoenix Queen, and Eldest Princess."
The Phoenix King raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up, then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, today, thanks to Elder Xu's presence, I would like to introduce someone to you."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Cangwu, "This is my eldest son-in-law."
Everyone turned their gaze to Feng Cangwu. Seeing that the Phoenix King had only given such a simple introduction, although they had many questions, they dared not ask any more. They simply said in unison, "Greetings, son-in-law."
Feng Cangwu nodded slightly, a perfectly timed smile on his face.
The Phoenix King then addressed Xu Yang and Ji Huadan, who had just emerged, saying, "Today, my niece Huadan and Elder Xu have a child, a great joy for our Phoenix Clan. The birth of this new life is crucial for the continuation of the Phoenix Clan's bloodline, and is truly an auspicious sign. May this child possess exceptional talent and contribute to the prosperity of our Phoenix Clan."
Ji Huadan raised her head, not looking at Feng Wang, but at Ji Xiaosong, her smugness undisguised.
She slightly raised her still-flat belly and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you for your kind words, Phoenix King. Hua Dan will take good care of herself during her pregnancy and give birth to an excellent offspring for the Phoenix Clan."
Ji Xiaosong keenly sensed the malicious gaze, and without having to search, she knew it must be from Ji Huadan.
Ji Xiaosong sighed inwardly, wondering what this woman was so proud of all day long.
It's just being pregnant, right?
It's not like anyone can't get pregnant.
Perhaps it was because he completely ignored Ji Huadan that he was so disregarding her; this indifference was the most devastating blow to Ji Huadan.
Seeing that Ji Xiaosong remained calm and unresponsive to his provocation, Ji Huadan's anger intensified.
She bit her lip and raised her voice, saying, "Cousin, aren't you happy for me? Or are you jealous of me?"
Ji Xiaosong chuckled lightly and replied unhurriedly, "Why would I be jealous of you? Your little affairs aren't worth my time."
The original owner of this body and Ji Huadan had never gotten along since childhood.
Anything the original owner possessed, Ji Huadan would try every means to get the same one.
Even though she failed every time, she was like an unkillable cockroach, always seizing every opportunity to pounce.
Now, seeing Ji Huadan swaggering in front of her again, Ji Xiaosong felt utterly disgusted.
Ji Xiaosong's reaction was as usual, which made Ji Huadan's face turn ugly instantly.
“My cousin almost got married to my husband, but now, just to spite him, she’s brought some wild chickens from who-knows-where to use as a front. We’ve grown up together since childhood, and I really can’t bear to see my cousin so depraved.”
Everyone present wished there was a plate of melon seeds on the table right now. If it weren't for the person in question's distinguished status, they probably would have been whispering among themselves sharing their opinions.
"I wouldn't even look at someone like Xu Yang, who has a congenital illness. My husband's talent is none of your concern. Today is your wedding day, so don't let your anger get the better of you, lest it harm the child in your womb!"
“I know you’ve always been stubborn, cousin. Otherwise, we’d never heard of you and your husband before. How did you suddenly get married? You know I’m usually very magnanimous. I just feel sorry for you, cousin, doing something so reckless just to spite my husband. I advise you to break up with this person of unknown origin as soon as possible and stop upsetting my husband. He won’t care.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Cangwu was about to make a move when Ji Xiaosong grabbed his hand.
With a reassuring look in his eyes, Feng Cangwu gritted his teeth and took a step back.
His young wife has such a good temper, letting this kind of person provoke her.
"Are you deaf to my words? I have already formed a bond with my husband, and there is no way we can break up. I have never been interested in Xu Yang before, and I will never be interested in him in the future. Anyone here with a normal sense of aesthetics knows that my husband is far superior to Xu Yang."
"But... cousin, she has all looks, but no talent. Isn't that... a waste of her potential?"
