“That’s good.”
Feng Ruqing nodded and smiled. “Don’t ever let him in the princess’s manor the next time he comes again.”
She had always hated people who broke other couples up. So, she would never become such a person.
Wasn’t Liu Yuchen in love with Tan Shuangshuang? Then, she should let them be.
…
Qinhuai riverside, Paramount 1 . Its name implied that it was the best restaurant in the imperial city.
Every month, the young masters and mistresses from the official government would come here and hold their meetings. It was the reason why Paramount was so lively today.
“Why is Princess Rushuang absent today?” Lin Yueying, the daughter of Lin Yushi asked. She clearly did not know what had happened in the imperial city lately. So, she was in doubt.
“Hush. Say no more. A while back, Princess Rushuang somehow had an argument with Feng Ruqing. His Majesty sided with Feng Ruqing naturally and Princess Rushuang was locked in the Forbidden Mountains for repentance. No one can go and visit her even the Liu family.”
A groan and a sniff of contempt was heard.
There was clearly disdain in the eyes of the youth who had spoken just now. As for Feng Ruqing, he had never had any good impression of her and it was mixed with some hatred too.
“Zhao Yang, stop talking now. Did you forget that a while back, Feng Ruqing nearly ordered people to restrain you when you criticized her in a single sentence behind her back and she found out about it? She had only let you go when Princess Rushuang pleaded her for mercy for you.”
“That’s right. There was also one time when my father suggested to His Majesty in the morning audience to discipline Feng Ruqing in a much better way. Feng Ruqing somehow got to know about it and she indicated to His Majesty to dismiss my father from his post in the government. My father was only spared when Princess Rushuang pleaded her for mercy.”
“Princess Rushuang is such a nice person. Her relationship with Feng Ruqing was good in the beginning. It might be because of her helping us all the time that it made Feng Ruqing angry and caused her to now be locked in the Forbidden Mountains. After all, she was burdened by us.”
“But Empress Nalan was such an accomplished person. How did she give birth to Feng Ruqing … who is weak in both academics and martial arts? Moreover…”
The young mistress did not finish her words as she was stopped by the person next to her who covered her mouth immediately. She was then forced to swallow her final words.
All their eyes turned to the entrance. Suddenly, a shadow like a nightmare appeared at the entrance under the sunlight and was using its smiling eyes to look at them.
The young mistress felt a chill down her spine. There was panic in her eyes. She tightened her fists and her body shook uncontrollably.
Feng Ruqing… When did she appear? They did not know how much of their previous conversation was overheard by her.
If…
The young mistress could not imagine what would have happened to them if those words were overheard by her.
Feng Ruqing put down her arms and walked toward the young mistress slowly.
“If I’m not mistaken, you are the daughter of the inspector general, Mu Qing’er, right?” There was a smile in Feng Ruqing’s eyes.
Mu Qing’er’s palms were sweaty. She immediately kneeled down in front of Feng Ruqing who was looking at her smilingly. She spoke with a trembling solemn voice, “Princess, I know I’m wrong. Please don’t blame the Mu family. My father has always been loyal to Liu Yun Kingdom. What I said just now was all on me and it has nothing to do with the Mu family.”
Facing the worst villain in Liu Yun Kingdom, Mu Qing’er was in great panic. She was scared, so scared that the whole the Mu family would be compromised if Feng Ruqing became angry.
“What are you doing?” Feng Ruqing kept her smile. She helped Mu Qing’er up from the ground, frowned and said, “I only thought that what you said just now was true. Only the old me was a villain. You did not say anything wrong.”
