‘If… If Feng Ruqing were still my daughter-in-law, then those spirit herbs would be mine.’
“A useless person?” The chancellor looked at Lady Liu. There was sarcasm in his smile. “You said that she’s a useless person but how was she able to break the Spirit Warrior’s neck in so short a time. She even possesses a Tier-4 wolf. There are even two members of the Iron-Blooded Troops who have made a breakthrough to Spirit Warrior tier. Do you still consider her a useless person with her strength and talent?”
Lady Liu was stunned. ‘Break the neck of a Spirit Warrior in an instant?’
“Besides, I don’t care how she has obtained those spirit herbs but the fact is, she possesses many spirit herbs.” The chancellor laughed coldly. “All of you were against the idea of Yuchen marrying her before. I was the only one who agreed to that. But, what did you do after that? All of you had treated her badly and she had no choice but to leave. Now, we have to suffer the great loss.”
‘I don’t care what status Feng Ruqing has. The number of spirit herbs in her hand could help me make a breakthrough to not only one tier higher.’
Lady Liu was silent for a while. She felt awkward. “How am I supposed to know that she has many spirit herbs?”
‘If I knew this, I’d never allow Yuchen to divorce her.’
“That’s enough. Go and tell Yuchen to capture Feng Ruqing’s heart again. If he is unable to do that, he can never return to our family.” The chancellor could not help but say what he had to. There was a flash of coldness in his eyes. “For Tan Shuangshuang, I can allow her to stay in the Liu family but I’ll never let her enter Yuchen’s room, not even as a concubine.”
At first, Feng Ruqing did not allow Yuchen to get a concubine and that was the reason why there were many conflicts between Feng Ruqing and Yuchen. If Tan Shuangshuang was allowed to enter Yuchen’s room, there would never be any chance of anything happening between Feng Ruqing and Liu Yuchen left.
Lady Liu was quite angry when the chancellor talked about Tan Shuangshuang.
‘I favored Tan Shuangshuang before because she is the daughter of the grand tutor and her status is almost similar to Yuchen’s. Moreover, she is kind and gentle.
‘But, Tan Shuangshuang clearly wanted Yuchen to leave me behind that day at Paramount. She had intentionally wanted Yuchen to sacrifice his mother and choose her instead.
‘Yuchen is my son and I didn’t know where Tan Shuangshuang’s confidence came from. Why would she think that Yuchen would choose her instead?
‘Tan Shuangshuang even said that she would endure those beatings willingly.
‘If she was really willing, why did she not mention that before? Why did she wait until Yuchen had made the decision before crying anxiously? I just don’t know why she had acted like that.’
“Husband, I was wrong. I did not realize it. Later, I’ll ask Yuchen to go and look for the princess and that be must capture her heart again.”
Lady Liu’s eyes brightened at this.
‘The Spirit Warrior was nothing to the princess. So, she must be a Spirit Warrior too.
‘Moreover, she has a lot of spirit herbs.
‘As for Tan Shuangshuang, the grand tutor has been dismissed. She’s no longer a suitable match for Yuchen. Therefore, Feng Ruqing is clearly a better candidate as Yuchen’s wife.’

Lady Liu did not linger there for long when she thought of this. She turned and left the living room. Then, she walked toward the backyard.
She could hear some commotion from afar. It seemed that somebody had pushed aside all the ceramic tea sets, which were placed on the table, onto the floor. All of them were broken.
She stopped walking and frowned. She seemed impatient. Then, she pushed open the door of the room and walked in.
Tan Shuangshuang lied on the table and cried pitifully in the room. The maid beside her consoled her but Tan Shuangshuang seemed to not care.
Tan Shuangshuang cried desperately—there was anger and hatred in her crying.
“Just leave.” Lady Liu frowned and scolded them.
