Nalan Zhangqianâs face turned stiff. However, all he could do was to sigh as he knew his father was telling him the truth.
âFather, please tell me if you ever meet the hawker again next time. Iâd like to know him too.â
But then, Nalan Hu was already headed toward the city without giving him any reply...
***
It was dark and wet inside the prison.
Liu Rong huddled on the floor. Her hair was messy as her face was still covered in dry brownish bloodstain. It seemed like she had not been cleaning herself for quite a while.
Feng Rushuang was barely conscious next to her, but her eyes were still filled with evil intent.
âMother, itâs all because of you.â Feng Rushuang gritted her teeth tightly. âItâs all your fault. If it werenât because of you, I wouldnât be in such a situation either. Why did you lie to me?â
The corners of Liu Rongâs lips lifted into a bitter smile.
She was wrong. She was really wrong...
Back then, she should not have colluded with Gu Zhenyang, so she would not have been in such a situation and also... she would not have given birth to this daughter!
âBoth of you are women, but why do you always lose to Nalan Yan? Why?â Feng Rushuang sounded hateful.
She would not have become a captive if Liu Rong was not that useless!
It was all because of Liu Rong, it was all her fault!
Liu Rongâs throat was a bit dry as something bitter spread in her mouth too. She wrapped her hands around her knees and sneered. âIâm not as good as Nalan Yan in every way, but so what? Didnât you lose to Feng Ruqing too?â
âMother!â Feng Rushuangâs face turned pale. She lifted her head and looked at Liu Rong in disbelief. She could not believe that even when her mother knew well that losing to Feng Ruqing was always her insecurity, yet her mother still purposely mentioned it!
Creak.
The prisonâs door was pushed open.
A guard walked through the door and said coldly, âLiu Rong, Feng Rushuang, both of you can get out now.â
Liu Rongâs body went stiff. Fear and sorrow filled her eyes.
This was something she had to endure every day.
Each day, this group of people would bring them out from the cell and go for a parade in the streets. Then, both of them would be insulted and hurt by the peasants.
She had suffered enough!
Really enough!
The only mistake she had made in her whole life was to have Feng Rushuang with Gu Zhenyang. However, she had never regretted being Feng Tianyuâs concubine.
Liu Rong did not go against the heartless guards while facing them, she straightened herself and walked out of the cell just like a robot.
Feng Rushuang fell to her knees in front of the guards. Her voice trembled as her eyes were filled with hope.
âHas my father returned? Has he returned yet? I want to see him, I want to see him!!!â
After all these years, even a man would at least grow some affection to a dog he had been raising.
She could not believe that her father would really be that cruel to her since she was his daughter for more than ten years!
The guard looked at Feng Rushuangâs face with a sneer. âOur emperor is not someone you can simply meet. Youâve betrayed Liu Yun Kingdom. Therefore, you have to bear the punishment for what youâve done. However, someone wants to see you guys today, itâs better if you guys follow me to see that person.â
Liu Rong was shocked.
Did somebody want to see them?
In Liu Yun Kingdom, who else... would still want to see them now?
***
Within the Supreme Princess Manor.
Two little girls hurried toward Feng Ruqing when she had just entered the manor.
At that moment...
When Liu Li noticed the girl next to Feng Ruqing, she was stunned as her eyes flashed with surprise, astonishment, and disbelief.
