Hearing this, Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes. Even though she knew that the princess was the one who was at fault, she could not help but feel sad.
Presently, not only did Feng Ruqing take over the princess’s body, but she had also taken over all the princess’s responsibilities and wrongdoings. She could feel the guilt and shame as though it was her fault.
“Auntie, I mean no harm to anyone in the general’s manor now. Please trust me one more time.” Feng Ruqing looked up at Lady Nalan with a firm and resolute look in her eyes that had nearly shaken Lady’s Nalan’s determination. Lady Nalan had never seen Feng Ruqing’s with such a firm gaze.
However, Lady Nalan quickly regained her focus.
All this while, Feng Ruqing had always pretended to be innocent after hurting Nalan Dai’er. It turned out that Feng Ruqing had not only not changed, she had even brought more harm to Nalan Dai’er. She had utterly broken all their trust, and no matter what she said now, they would never trust her.
“Your Highness, please don’t say that. You are the princess of Liu Yun Kingdom, and we are just your servants. A servant must always obey the princess. Let alone trust the princess. It’s late. You might want to take your leave. Please forgive me for not escorting you.” Lady Nalan clenched her fists tightly.
Feng Ruqing sighed and smiled wryly. She wanted to say something but quickly bit back her words.
“Alright, Aunt. Can I visit you again next time?”
Hearing this, Lady Nalan flew into a great panic. Feng Ruqing wanted to come to the general’s manor again? Did she truly think that she had not brought enough trouble to everyone at the general’s manor and did she want to turn it upside down again?
However, Lady Nalan did not dare to offend the princess. She simply forced a smile.
“There is nowhere in this kingdom that Your Highness could not set your foot in. You do not need my permission to do that.”
Feng Ruqing pursed her lips. Then, she stretched out her arm, wanting to stroke Nalan’s Dai’er’s head before she left. Seeing this, Lady Nalan quickly tightened her grip on Nalan Dai’er in alarm. Feng Ruqing’s hand stopped midair before falling to her side.
“It’s time for me to take my leave.” Feng Ruqing turned to glance at the door of the general’s manor and left reluctantly.
Only when Feng Ruqing had disappeared in the darkness did Lady Nalan loosened her grip on Nalan Dai’er and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Dai’er, stay away from Feng Ruqing. Do you hear me?” Lady Nalan said anxiously.
Lost in wonder, Nalan Dai’er blinked, her big eyes were like the twinkling stars in the vast night sky.
“But cousin brought me to buy cakes.” Feng Ruqing had saved Nalan Dai’er from danger and brought her to buy osmanthus cakes. She was such a kind person. Why would her mother dislike Feng Ruqing?
“Listen to me. She will hurt you. You have suffered a lot since you were little. I don’t want you to get hurt again.” Tears streamed down Lady Nalan’s face. Whenever she thought of the things Feng Ruqing had done to Nalan Dai’er, her heart was reminded of all the grief and pain Feng Ruqing had caused. Feng Ruqing not only brought great trouble to the general’s manor, but the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom. It was a twist of fate that Empress Nalan had such an evil daughter.
“Cousin is not a villain.” Nalan Dai’er protested. Feng Ruqing had saved her and brought her delicious fruit. Feng Ruqing was not evil.
“Alright, I hear you. She is not a villain.” Lady Nalan sighed helplessly. She simply did not know what Feng Ruqing had done to completely change Nalan Dai’er. Nalan Dai’er was not only unafraid of Feng Ruqing, but she had even sided with her.
