Slightly startled, Suyi lowered her eyes. She suddenly noticed that the white phoenix had a bald spot on its body and she was still holding a few white feathers in her hand.Embarra.s.sed, Suyi said, "I"m sorry. I didn"t do this on purpose. This is the first time I am becoming a mother-in-law. I don"t know what to do..."
The feeling was as if she was getting married for the first time.
"White phoenix." Suyi paused for a while.
"Yes, Suyi."
"She"s met you before, am I right?"
Stunned, the white phoenix looked at Suyi. It did not know why Suyi"s words sounded so worrying.
"Yes."
"Ah…"
Suyi nodded calmly. A gust of wind swept over her. Suddenly, the white phoenix turned into a glimmer of light. With a sharp yelp, the white phoenix vanished without a trace.
"White phoenix, I"m not ready yet… I will make up to you when I return home."
Moreover, the white phoenix had made itself so conspicuous.
It was not an issue if they were at other places. However, they were now at Liu Yun Kingdom. She must keep a low profile
Suyi turned to walk toward the imperial city. The corners of her lips lifted.

Recently, misfortunes had repeatedly fallen on the Liu family, one after another. As the saying goes, misery loves company.
Firstly, Liu Yuchen had moved to the second manor of the Liu family and had not returned since. Then, the chancellor was dismissed from his post. The chancellor"s manor that had always been swarming with visitors had now fallen into a dead silence.
A few days after the chancellor was dismissed, the chancellor"s manor was set on fire. The chancellor and Lady Liu could not help but move to the second manor that Liu Yuchen was staying. Hence, Liu Yuchen had left the second manor once again and did not return for a few days.
In the second manor of the Liu family.
Burning with anger, Lady Liu gave a hard slap across Tan Shuangshuang"s face.
"Tan Shuangshuang, you are truly good for nothing. You can"t even win Yuchen"s heart. You might as well move out of here and let someone else stay here."
"Lady Liu, you want me to leave Yuchen so your daughter-in-law could move in here, am I right? Unfortunately, Feng Ruqing is in her pomp now. The Liu family is nothing in her eyes." Tan Shuanghshuang stroked her face as she sneered.
"You s.l.u.t! Shut up! You are the one who had dug us into this big hole. If not for you, Her Highness would not have left the Liu family." Lady Liu gave Tan Shuangshuang a kick.
Lady Liu was right. Ever since Feng Ruqing had left the chancellor"s manor, she had changed.
Previously, Feng Ruqing was not like she was now. It was all of Tan Shuangshuang"s fault.
"Pfft! That"s what you wish all this while, haven"t you? You said that Feng Ruqing is a notorious lady and would ruin the Liu family"s reputation. You also said that Yuchen doesn"t want to sleep with Feng Ruqing and Feng Ruqing doesn"t allow him to take a concubine. She could not carry on the Liu family"s line. Hence, you want me to chase her out of the manor. I am just fulfilling your dream." Tan Shuangshuang smirked.
As Liu Yuchen was no longer in love with Tan Shuangshuang, she had started to show her true colors.
It was a pity that even if Tan Shuangshuang had exhausted all her tricks, she had lost to Feng Ruqing.
Although Tan Shuangshuang could not reconcile herself to the situation, she simply could not do anything to Feng Ruqing as she could not even step into the princess manor.
"You s.l.u.t! Shut up!" Lady Liu grabbed Tan Shuangshuang"s hair forcefully and hit her head on the table. Her loud piercing voice was full of anger.
At this time, the chancellor—Liu Fuyong entered the manor and saw Lady Liu hitting Tan Shuangshuang"s head on the table.
Tan Shuangshuang did not retaliate. She had lost everything—family background, lover, honorable status, and an extravagant life...
