Chapter 48 - First Confrontation with Noble Consort Rong III (2/2)
Perhaps Feng Ruqing was in a good mood because she had gotten back the Iron-Blooded Token, she answered with a smile, “Regarding this, I still have to confront n.o.ble Consort Rong. Last time you lied to me saying that the state preceptor was a cruel man and that had made me so afraid to even look at him. However, I did not know that he was handsome. If I had known it earlier, why would I want Liu Yuchen?”
Liu Rong’s face fell. In the end, this girl still took an interest in the state preceptor.
‘No! The state preceptor can only belong to Shuang’er. Any other woman is only Shuang’er’s replacement.’
“Qing’er, you’ve misunderstood me again,” Liu Rong smiled weakly while speaking. “You have no idea how much the state preceptor likes Shuang’er. In his eyes, there is only one person for him and that is Shuang’er. I was afraid that you would like the state preceptor and get hurt. So, I lied.”
Feng Ruqing’s smile became wider. Then she mocked, “Then why did I hear that when Feng Rushuang went to look for the state preceptor, she got bitten by his pet the azure snake and was even thrown out?”
Liu Rong’s face changed and became a little sour, her smile was almost gone. However, she had a strong heart and was able to recover quickly.
“I don’t know who is the one spreading the rumors. Shuang’er was playing with the azure snake and had accidentally gotten hurt. In regards to being thrown out, there wasn’t any proof! At that time, the state preceptor insisted on carrying Shuang’er out of Southern Bamboo Grove. But Shuang’er was shy and was unwilling to let others know the relations.h.i.+p between her and the state preceptor and therefore she had gone out to seek for help.”
She looked at Feng Ruqing and continued speaking sincerely, “Qing’er, I am telling you all these only because I treat you like my own daughter. The state preceptor really likes Shuang’er. If you keep pestering the state preceptor, I’m afraid he won’t be too happy about it. He isn’t Liu Yuchen and won’t marry you just because of your status.”
With Feng Ruqing’s appearance and level of cultivation, there was no way the state preceptor would have any contact with her. It must be because this girl had not listened to her words and had not looked away while pa.s.sing by the state preceptor. She must have looked at him and saw how handsome he was and decided to go to Southern Bamboo Grove to pester him.
And perhaps, unexpectedly, the state preceptor was not at Southern Bamboo Grove and therefore, she was not thrown out by the state preceptor.
