Qing Han was obedient. Her mother would get mad if Qing Han had an upset stomach.
“If both of you are really the kids of the lady in the chamber, my daughter will never tear your family apart. However, since both of you are just spirit beasts and not her biological children, my daughter has not broken up your family.” Fu Yu’s eyes slightly darkened.
Although Fu Yu did not want his daughter to marry someone with an unknown origin, Fu Qingjiu was his daughter. He could stop Fu Qingjiu from marrying the young master in the future, but he did not want his daughter losing her face before everyone’s eyes.
Hence…
“My daughter must never be a concubine. I don’t care if they are married. As long as they don’t have children, everything else is fine. If both of you want to follow him, Qingjiu will be your mother in the future. Otherwise, I will not force you. You could leave together with the lady and you are not allowed to meet him again!”
Fu Qingjiu’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to stare at Fu Yi’s cold face. Her heart was overflowing with warmth.
‘In the end, Father… agrees.’
Although Fu Qingjiu did not know if her father agreed earnestly or he was just defending her, his indulgence and affection toward her had melted her heart.
“Your Majesty, what about the things that you promised this subordinate?” General Murong asked anxiously.
Fu Yu’s cold gaze swept past General Murong.
“As I felt guilty toward the Murong family, I have always treated the Murong family well and condoned all the things that you all have done all these years. I have even sacrificed my daughter’s happiness because of the Murong family. However, what had Murong Yang done in return? He is bullying my daughter together with these people.”
“Your Majesty, Murong Yang is hopeless, but my son is not bad. How could you marry Her Highness to a man with an unknown origin?” Lin Yao too was shocked.
“Enough! I have made up my mind. There is no room for argument!”
If Fu Yu still forcibly separated Qingjiu and that young master, not only would he upset Qingjiu, these people would think that Fu Yu had sacrificed his daughter as he was afraid of these people. How could he build up his prestige?
Moreover, Fu Qingjiu might not be marrying that young master in the future. Hence, Fu Yu must not step back.
“You have made up your mind? Who do you think you are to make a decision for my father?” Fu Chen sneered.
“For I own this kingdom—Haitian Kingdom. Murong Yang, I am giving you one last chance. Are you coming down?” Fu Yu looked up at Murong Yang as he asked coldly.
Startled, Murong Yang lowered his eyes to look at the two kids next to him and then turned to look at his father’s anxious face. Suddenly, he chuckled softly. Tears ran down his cheek.
“You claim that you feel guilty toward the Murong family. Before my grandfather passed away, he begged you to marry Her Highness to me. Hence, you are just fulfilling your promise. Other than this, what is the preferential treatment for the people of the general manor?
“Why did my grandfather die? The rest may not know about this, but you know that very well, don’t you? It’s because of Fu Qingjiu! She was too headstrong and wanted to tame a Tier-6 advanced spirit beast! She actually wanted to tame a Tier-6 spirit beast with her own strength! She had enraged the spirit beast and my grandfather was killed by the spirit beast just to save her! ”
The crowd burst into chatter. The eyes of everyone present widened in shock. Naturally, they knew that Old General Murong died because of Fu Qingjiu, but they thought that he was killed by a powerful warrior from an enemy kingdom. Little did they know, it was because Fu Qingjiu insisted on taming a spirit beast.
