The guards and eunuchs were kneeling in fear, nobody dared to peek at the furious Feng Tianyu.
“Bastards, all of you are useless! Who allowed you to let Qing’er wander off alone? And even let her to Southern Bamboo Grove on her own? I want you to find her now! If anything happens to her, I will not spare any of you!”
Feng Tianyu was extremely furious. He picked up an inkstone from the table and flung it to the ground. His blooshot eyes reflected his hot temper—his fury still blazing.
What made him angrier was the fact that he was not being told earlier about Qing’er. If something really happened to her...
Liu Yun Kingdom would not be quiet.
As Feng Tianyu almost decided to go to Southern Bamboo Grove on his own, a familiar voice was heard from the main door.
“Father, who annoyed you this time? What made you so angry?”
Feng Tianyu immediately looked at the door.
His anger subsided after seeing his obese daughter at the door.
“Qing’er, I heard you went to Southern Bamboo Grove? The state preceptor... didn’t hurt you right?”
Feng Ruqing was a bit startled. “What did he do before this?”
Looking at her father being so worried about her safety made her curious. Was the state preceptor really as scary as how Noble Consort Rong had described him to be?
“It is nothing, just that he does not like anyone near the bamboo forest, especially girls. Previously your younger sister, Rushuang wanted to visit him there but she was bitten by his pet snake, Qing Zhu, and was thrown out from the forest by him. I was just worried that he would treat you the same...”
Feng Ruqing’s face instantly darkened.
Feng Rushuang was Noble Consort Rong’s daughter whom she rescued from thugs when she was young.
She still remembered that years ago, Rushuang was bitten by a poisonous snake, but she didn’t know that it was the state preceptor’s pet snake at that time. Her father did not bother to tell her about it too.
Yet, it was weird that Noble Consort Rong kept telling her horrible things about the state preceptor, but yet, allowed her daughter to approach him. As the saying goes, a person’s true colors would show with time.
“Fortunately you came back safe and sound.” Feng Tianyu could finally heave a sigh of relief. He sighed. “Otherwise, I would willingly lose my kingdom to seek revenge for you! ”
Feng Ruqing had mixed feelings.
Maybe Feng Tianyu was not a good leader in terms of Liu Yun Kingdom’s welfare. However in her perspective, he was the best father ever.
“Father, actually the state preceptor was not that scary.” Feng Ruqing defended him as his god-like image appeared in her mind. Her lips curved up slightly thinking of him. She added, ” Maybe Rushuang did something to annoy the state preceptor.”
Although the state preceptor seemed fierce, he would not let his pet snake to simply bite a human just because she had trespassed his territory. He would just chase the person away. Maybe Feng Rushuang herself was amazed by his beauty and somehow her behavior had irked the state preceptor.
In fact, the state preceptor was always cool and elegant—he did not get angry easily as well.
“As long as he did not harm you.”
Feng Tianyu smiled and patted her daughter’s head affectionately.
He was totally aware of Feng Rushuang’s movements in the Southern Bamboo Grove and he understood what she had done to annoy the state preceptor. As for his eldest daughter, despite thinking of her as an angelic daughter, he was worried about her safety as she was a mischievous troublemaker too.
That year, he actually wanted to tell Qing’er about Feng Rushuang’s wrongdoings, but she was overprotective of Noble Consort Rong and Feng Rushuang. If he ever mentioned a bad word about them, she would definitely ignore him.
