Feng Ruqing stroked the tip of her nose. She wanted to tell Princess Qingjiu that the eldest prince of Tianyue Kingdom had died and it was her son who had killed the eldest prince.

“Maiden Feng, I promise that if you marry Murong Yang, Haitian Kingdom will never mistreat you. Not long ago, we have unearthed a mausoleum with countless treasures within it. It has since then made a great stir in the kingdom. Those who had managed to come out alive from the mausoleum had their strength greatly enhanced.

“If you are part of Haitian Kingdom, you could get into the mausoleum.” Fu Qingjiu frowned as she continued.

Had it not been because of Murong Yang"s constant hounding of Qingjiu and that he had caused her a lot of troubles, she would not have broken his heart by pus.h.i.+ng him to another lady. However, she had run out of option.

The flower banquet that her father was going to host was just around the corner. The Murong family was her father"s most favored. If Qingjiu did not arrange a lady for Murong Yang, her father might marry her off to Murong Yang…

Qingjiu would only marry the one she loved. She would never act against her will!

Seeing Feng Ruqing falling into silence, Qingjiu thought that Feng Ruqing was considering her offer. The corner of her lips slightly lifted.

“In fact, I could arrange other ladies for Murong Yang. The reason why I have chosen you is that Maiden Feng is the only one prettier than me. The other ladies… Murong Yang might not be interested in them. I have had enough of him…”

“Maiden Feng.” Fu Qingjiu was still soothing Feng Ruqing with sweet words. A gentle smile was plastered on her pure face.

“There is another reason why I have chosen you. I don"t want to harm any virtuous ladies out there and ruin their lives by making them marry the one they don"t love. As for Maiden Feng… since you have done this before, I bet you wouldn"t mind doing this again.”

Qingjiu did not have the heart to harm the virtuous ladies out there. Hence, she had never forcibly arranged any marriage for the young masters who had fallen for her. However, if Murong Yang were to marry Feng Ruqing… Qingjiu would be guilt-free!

“Maiden Feng?” Fu Qingjiu frowned and called out to Feng Ruqing once again.

“Ah? Oh, what did you just say? Excuse me, I was lost in thought and did not hear your words.”

Dumbfounded, Fu Qingjiu had nearly lost her temper. If Qingjiu did not need Feng Ruqing"s help, she would have burst out in fury.

“Maiden Feng, I talked about so many things that benefit you, you really did not hear a single word that I"ve said? May I know what Maiden Feng was thinking?” Fu Qingjiu forced a smile.

“It was nothing. It suddenly came to me that the snake that I have picked up earlier had bitten the redhead out of hunger.”

“What?”

“This snake is venomous…”

It had been a while since Feng Ruqing had left the Murong family. That said, the redhead might have been poisoned. If Feng Ruqing tasked someone to send herbs over, it might not be too late. Perhaps, he would still be alive by then.

“Maiden Feng really knows nothing about spirit beast taming. The spirit beasts that I have raised have never hurt anyone. If the spirit beasts hurt anyone, it is their master who is not capable of guiding them. The spirit beasts are innocent. Maiden Feng, since your spirit beast does not listen to you, why don"t you let it stay with me for some time. I…” Dumbfounded, Fu Qingjiu said.

Before Fu Qingjiu could finish her words, Feng Ruqing took out a spirit herb box and tied it around the azure snake"s body.
