The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Stunned, Fu Yu looked at the young lady who had sat down, exhausted, with her face covered with tears.

“What’s more…” Fu Qingjiu stared Fu Yu in his eyes darkly.

“Making Murong Yang marry a lady who does not love him is truly unfair to him. It would only add to his pain. Murong Yang would only fall for a lady because of her physical appearance. Maiden Feng is exquisitely gorgeous. Now that I arranged a beautiful lady for him, I am returning the favor of the Murong family and we are even!”

From then on, Fu Qingjiu owed Murong Yang nothing. She had repaid her debt of gratitude. Hopefully, Murong Yang would stop hounding her.

Fu Yu pursed his lips together, his face was hardened.

“Are you sure you could return the Murong’s family favor by marrying him to another lady?”

“Yes.” Fu Qingjiu raised her head slightly.

“Although I have not spent much time with Maiden Feng, I am a good judge of character. She will accept my offer for her greed of power and status.”

After all, Feng Ruqing was not a kind lady. She was just a social climber. Although she had not accepted the offer yet, she would do so later.

“Qingjiu, I have just issued a decree. The flower banquet… has been brought forward—today is the day.” After keeping silent for a long while, Fu Yu finally said.

“Father!” Fu Qingjiu’s face changed.

“I am not joking. I have issued the decree and you must attend the banquet. If the Murong family voluntarily chooses Maiden Feng, I promise you that I will never interfere in your marriage again.”

“Really?” Fu Qingjiu was overjoyed.

“Yes.”

“That’s great. Father, don’t forget your promise. I will attend the flower banquet. However, I will not choose anyone.” The corners of Fu Qingjiu’s lips lifted.

Fu Qingjiu had always thought that it was not too hard for Murong Yang to fall for another lady.

It was hilarious indeed. Murong Yang was Fu Qingjiu’s suitor, but she was actually pushing him to another lady.

Well, there was no big deal. Fu Qingjiu was not the kind of person who liked to be highly sought after.

All she wanted… was only one person…

***

In the chamber,

Suddenly, Feng Ruqing opened her eyes and the azure snake glided into the chamber from outside.

Startled, the azure snake stared at the young lady before it and glided backward.

“Her Highness, I am back.” With pitiful eyes, the azure snake said with a weak voice.

“Hmm. How was it? Is he dead?” Feng Ruqing raised her brow as she asked.

“Almost…” Had the azure snake not gotten back in time, that ruffian would have been killed.

A near miss indeed! What a pity…

“However, right after the poor rascal had eaten Antidote Grass, the palace people came. It was something to do with the flower banquet. Hence, they had taken him to the palace even if he has not completely recovered. He is likely to face a rough ride.” The azure snake broke into a sinister smile.

‘Don’t you dare to steal Her Highness, Princess Ruqing, and humiliate my master.’

“Oh, Xiao Qing, I need you to check out a place and tell me if the state preceptor is there.” Feng Ruqing stroked her chin as she narrowed her eyes.

“Her Highness, you have found my master?” Thrilled with joy, the azure snake asked.

“I am not sure. That’s why I need you to check it out. I am afraid that I might accidentally beat the wrong patch of grass and frighten away the snake. I would never be able to find the state preceptor if that happens.”

“Then… what happens if my master is in there?”

“Well, just bring him out. No worries.” An evil smile plastered on Feng Ruqing’s face.

“If someone wants to steal my state preceptor, I will burn down the entire palace. Fu Chen, get the bird to send letters to the spirit beasts and get them ready for battle.”
