‘The princess is only a woman who keeps a gigolo at home. How can she be compared to me?’
“I... didn’t.”
Feng Ruqing sneered and said, “I don’t care whether you’ve slept together or not. What I have said was the truth. When did I wrong you? Besides, Liu Yuchen attacked me first. Should we break his hand?”
“That...” Lady Liu was stunned for a while. Then, she bit her lip unwillingly. “You said you have never insult Tan Shuangshuang. Then, why do you treat her like your enemy? Why do you follow her here–spirit herbs shop?”
Shuangshuang had told her before. Even if Feng Ruqing had ended her marriage with Liu Yuchen, Feng Ruqing never stopped having feelings toward Liu Yuchen. But, Shuangshuang had tried her best to avoid Feng Ruqing. Still, Feng Ruqing did not let Tan Shuangshuang go.
‘This woman... Why is she always hanging around?’
Feng Ruqing turned and looked at Lady Liu. “Do you know what’s the consequence of spreading rumors about me?”
“What?”
“Those who spread rumors about me... will be whipped a hundred times.”
To Lady Liu and Tan Shuangshuang, who were small and timid, a hundred whipping would definitely kill them.
Lady Liu was stunned. Feng Ruqing had never mentioned about whipping her when Feng Ruqing was still in the Liu family even though she had argued with Feng Ruqing.
“Princess... I’m just telling the truth.” Lady Liu bit her lip and decided not to back down.
‘It’s too late to take back what was said.’ Lady Liu understood that the princess came here just to embarrass them.
Feng Ruqing looked at Lady Liu coldly. Then, she looked at the shopkeeper of the spirit herbs shop who was standing there, not doing anything.
“Go and call the elder of the spirit herbs shop.”
There was an elder in every shop in Paramount. They were the ones who were qualified to make decisions.
The shopkeeper was stunned. “Princess, the elder is busy and has no time for small matters. You can just tell me your order.”
The shopkeeper did not mention that the elder would not simply meet anyone.
Feng Ruqing clasped her hands together. A token appeared in her palm when she raised her hand.
The smile on the shopkeeper’s face disappeared when he saw the token. His demeanor became solemn and was filled with respect. “Why do you have the token of Paramount?”
The corners of Feng Ruqing’s raised. “Don’t be bothered by how I got this token. Go and tell him that I, Feng Ruqing, want to meet him.”
“Princess, please wait for a while. I’ll go and inform the elder now.”
The token signified the young master. It was not a secret in Paramount.
The young master was the only one who was able to give this token.
Tan Shuangshuang looked at the shopkeeper blankly. She felt a pain in the heart that felt like it was bitten by thousands of ants.
She was not stupid. She understood that the reason behind the change in the shopkeeper’s attitude was because of the token in Feng Ruqing’s hand.
It was not important how Feng Ruqing got hold of the token. It still extremely distressed her.
“Wait!” Feng Ruqing stopped the shopkeeper suddenly.
The shopkeeper turned and asked, “Princess, what else do you need?”
“I want to make use of the people in your spirit herbs shop. Take these two people out and give them a hundred whippings.” Feng Ruqing looked at Lady Liu condescendingly. “I told you! Those who spread rumors about me must pay for it!”
Lady Liu was stunned.
She had always thought that Feng Ruqing’s appearance in the spirit herbs shop was all because of Tan Shuangshuang.
She had never thought that the princess came here solely because of the spirit herbs shop.
Lady Liu was anxious after hearing what the princess had said. “Princess, I’m the chancellor’s wife. Aren’t you afraid what the others might say if you treated me like this?”
Feng Ruqing smiled in return. “Those who had scolded me were never small in number. I was immature before, but now if I want to change the impression people have of me, I’ll not be weak and gullible. Those who offend me must pay!”
