“Then, what you’re trying to say is, everything that has happened was Qing’er’s fault?
Feng Tianyu questioned her in a low voice and stared coldly at the kneeling Liu Rong.
Liu Rong panicked. “Your Majesty, I never meant that, I just care and feel sorry for Qing’er …”
“Insolence!” Feng Tianyu was fuming with anger. He stood up abruptly and lashed out, “Dear n.o.ble Consort Rong, do you think I am a fool? All these years, Qing’er had been fooled around like an idiot by you but I could see it clearly with my eyes. Before this, I had tolerated you just for Qing’er’s sake. Now, I have given you an inch and you want a mile!”
Liu Rong’s knees were trembling. Her heart was beating anxiously.
After enjoying a luxurious life all these years, she had forgotten how she had obtained her n.o.ble Consort t.i.tle.
All of the prosperity and wealth that the Liu family had achieved today was thanks to Feng Ruqing.
“Guards!” Feng Tianyu summoned and gave a stern command, “Starting today, n.o.ble Consort Rong is not allowed to step out from her chamber and the people of the Liu family are not permitted to enter the palace to visit her either.”
That one sentence meant house arrest for Liu Rong. It also limited her connection to the outside world.
“Father!” Feng Rushuang went pale as she panicked. She bit her lip in fear and was desperate. “Concubine-mother does not have such intention. I was not aware that Sister would fall for Liu Yuchen too. If I knew about this earlier, I would definitely prevent them from meeting each other. Besides, Young Master Liu is indeed a decent guy, just that his heart belongs to someone else.”
“Rushuang…” Feng Tianyu stared at Feng Rushuang coldly and uttered, “You are old enough to get married. If you think Liu Yuchen is quite a decent guy, how about… I let you be his wife? What do you think?”
Feng Rushuang shivered when she heard that. She raised her head and looked at Feng Tianyu in total disbelief. “Father, Liu Yuchen has someone else in his heart. If you let me marry him, doesn’t that mean my happiness is totally ruined?”
The person she wanted to marry must be the best of the best. She would not ever get married into Liu Family, especially to a weak guy like Liu Yuchen.
Bang!
Feng Tianyu hit the table loudly with his fist. His eyebrows were furrowed in annoyance. “Even you know that you will not be happy being married to him, then why did both of you still encourage Qing’er to get married into the Liu family?”
In Liu Yun Kingdom, Feng Ruqing was the most honorable woman and was completely loved and doted on by Feng Tianyu. The whole kingdom knew this fact.
However, this kind of grace and affection was never given to Feng Rushuang.
She felt her heart sink and ache. Both of them were his daughters, so why did Father treat her unfairly?
“Your Majesty!” Liu Rong quickly crawled a few steps forward when she saw Feng Tianyu almost exploding with anger. She kowtowed a few times with loud thumps and begged, “Your Majesty, please forgive Shuang’er this time in the account that she had rescued Qing’er before.”
She could accept house arrest and also punishment. However, her daughter was her only hope. As long as Feng Rushuang was still alive, she would rise again sooner or later.
That person had promised her about it …
Feng Tianyu clenched his fists. He was aware of the truth in Liu Rong’s words.
Feng Rushuang did save Feng Ruqing’s life before, but… Before he found out the real truth, he still could not touch these people.
“For Qing’er’s sake, I will forgive Feng Rushuang this time. I won’t let her go easily the next time!” Feng Tianyu loosened up his fists and put one hand behind his back. He continued in a stern voice, “However, she could escape from the death penalty but not punishment. Guards, bring Feng Rushuang to the Forbidden Mountain and let her reflect upon her wrongdoings for half a month.”
Feng Rushuang felt her body shivering lightly. She looked down to suppress her anger and unwillingness.
The Forbidden Mountain… its name depicted what kind of place it was.
