Besides, she was totally aware of the root of the whole incident—Liu Yu bullied Nalan Dai’er first.
If this news reached the general’s manor, she was afraid that the Liu family would not be at peace.
“Princess, it’s better to keep family scandals within the family. If the ministers get to know about this, they would be talking behind your back again, so …”
Liu Rong frowned, pretending to think for her sake.
Who knew that Feng Ruqing would not even listen to her and just left right after.
“Qing’er, where are you going?” Liu Rong anxiously moved two steps forward.
Feng Ruqing did not bother about her. She seemed to be ignoring her presence now.
Liu Rong had finally freaked out. She rushed over and pulled Feng Ruqing’s arm, saying worriedly, “Qing’er, you do know that concubine-mother is doing this for your own good, so why won’t you listen to me?”
Feng Ruqing tried to free herself from Liu Rong’s grip, but Liu Rong herself was a cultivator too, so she was not weak. She struggled but failed to free herself. Her face suddenly darkened.
However, her expression remained unchanged as she uttered coldly, “I don’t have a concubine-mother, only one imperial-mother. You are just a n.o.ble consort; how dare you claim to be my concubine-mother? In fact, you seem to have forgotten how you’ve gotten this n.o.ble consort t.i.tle.”
Liu Rong’s face darkened as she almost burst out in anger. She tried to suppress it desperately and forced a little smile.
“Qing’er, Mother… I just want to treat you well. You lost your mother at a very young age. I felt pity for you, that’s why I want to be your mother.”
Feng Ruqing laughed at Liu Rong. “I don’t deserve your kindness. Keep it for Feng Rushuang.”
“Qing’er!” Liu Rong looked at her in disappointment. “Why are you becoming so aloof and distant? Did the people from the general’s manor… tell you something bad? I have already warned you; they won’t treat you genuinely. They just want the Iron-Blooded Token from you.”
A mocking sneer flashed in Feng Ruqing’s eyes. “If you don’t have bad intentions and are not eyeing my Iron-Blooded Token, then return it to me.”
Liu Rong was stunned. She frowned and tried to cover it up. “I have already told you. I am afraid that you are not mature enough to take care of the Iron-Blooded Token. That was why I temporarily kept it for you. In fact, Qing’er, don’t forget that Shuang’er saved your life last time.”
Eight years ago, young Feng Rushuang did save her life. So out of grat.i.tude, the original owner (the original Feng Ruqing) insisted that Feng Tianyu grant Feng Rushuang’s mother the t.i.tle of n.o.ble consort. She even severed her ties with her family and gave away the Iron-Blooded Token as a gift.
Feng Ruqing closed her eyes slowly. After a moment, she opened her mesmerizing eyes and looked at Liu Rong calmly. “She did save my life and have returned the favor throughout these eight years. That’s enough. If you refuse to return my Iron-Blooded Token to me, in the future… I will hit Feng Rushuang and Liu Yu every time I see them. Even if I hit them to death, who dares to say anything to me?”
She was infamous as the villain of Liu Yun Kingdom. She had lost count of the number of people she had bullied. Thus, even if she were to hit both Feng Rushuang and Liu Yu to death, n.o.body dared to say a word against it.
Liu Rong looked up, terrified. When she saw Feng Ruqing’s fierce and malicious face, terror flashed in her eyes.
‘This foolish girl has really changed! Why? Is it because she dreamed of Nalan Yan in her coma?’
Nalan Yan!
Suddenly, something flashed through Liu Rong’s mind. She gritted her teeth in anger.
That d.a.m.ned minx not only seduced His Majesty and made him focus solely on her, but she also did not let her live in peace even after her death!
