Lady Liu ran out in a frenzy and pushed away Liu Yuchen who was standing frozen in front of her.
She rushed over to the people who were just talking and grabbed their arms, her eyes filled with madness.
“What did you just say? The princess is married? She’s even pregnant? That can’t be, it’s too fast, there’s not even any news of this in Liu Yun Kingdom…”
Lady Liu mumbled to herself, staring straight ahead in disbelief.
She could barely regain her composure from this news…
The young lady who just got pushed by her staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She was already furious, but when she saw who had pushed her, the fury and sarcasm on her face deepened.
“Why, isn’t this the madam of the Liu family? Back then, you were the ones who had given up on the princess, and now that the princess and the state preceptor have finally found each other, you’re envious?”
In an instant, the gazes of everyone on the street were directed at Lady Liu and Liu Yuchen.
Under their sharp glares, Liu Yuchen finally started to regain his senses. Perhaps it was due to shame, he did not look at Lady Liu and just turned to the opposite direction to leave.
“Yuchen!”
Lady Liu turned her head and saw Liu Yuchen walking away. She gritted her teeth and chased after him, grabbing and tugging at his arm. “Come with me, we’re going to see the princess. I don’t believe that the princess would be this heartless.”
Seeing this stubborn side of Lady Liu, the others could not help but shake their heads and sigh.
The princess had already rejected her countless times and the latter had even suffered enough losses in the process, but she did not seem to have learned her lesson. She was still delusional, hoping for the princess’s forgiveness.
How ridiculous.
Back then, the Liu family had almost forced the princess to her death because of Tan Shuangshuang. They should be lucky that the empress did not destroy the whole family. Yet, now they were still trying to stir up trouble.
“That’s enough!”
Liu Yuchen’s tightly clenched fists until cracking sounds were heard. He took a deep, heavy breath to push down the rage within his chest. “How long do you want to keep this up? The princess will never forgive the Liu family, ever!”
All this while he had already become aware of this truth. However, he was not willing to admit it and so he had drowned himself in alcohol, trying to use the intoxication to forget.
Until now…
After hearing that Feng Ruqing was pregnant, he felt like he had just been splashed with a bucket of cold water, sobering up immediately.
It was true that ever since he had chosen to give up on her, their paths were already different and they would never cross.
“Yuchen…”
Lady Liu stared blankly at Liu Yuchen.
He was clearly still thinking of the princess, so why not try to fight for her? Was he going to give up, just like that?
“The Liu family…” Liu Yuchen slowly closed his eyes. Feeling a lump on his throat, his voice trembled slightly as he said, “Can take no more of this torture, do you understand?”
This Liu family could not afford to face any more crisis…
Lady Liu’s hand gradually fell. She felt reluctant but as she looked at Liu Yuchen’s striking yet despairing silhouette, she ended up swallowing back the words she wanted to say.
“Forget it…” Liu Yuchen gave a bitter smile. “You wouldn’t understand it. If you intend to be this stubborn, then go and look for her on your own. I won’t ever go to her again…”
He did not want to see her indifferent gaze. Those eyes were more piercing than needles.
“Yuchen!”
Seeing as Liu Yuchen was about to leave, Lady Liu became anxious. “Where are you going now?”
He stopped in his tracks. He tipped his head up, staring dazedly at the blue sky.
“I don’t know either… but… I won’t be able to keep staying in this house, so you guys should take care of yourselves.” Before he left, he paused again before continuing to say, “Father’s heart will never return. You should start contemplating your own future, at most just… leave him.”
