In fact, even if Liu Yuchen took Tan Shuangshuang as a concubine, she could never replace the princess. The servants in chancellor's manor would not have dared to gossip about the princess. Simply no one knew if the rumor was intentionally or accidentally spread around.
"Yuchen, stop offending the princess. It's all my fault. I should not have appeared in the chancellor's manor every day. I deserved the ten strokes of the whip." Tan Shuangshuang bit her lip and stepped back in fear.
Seeing the panic in Tan Shuangshuang's eyes and the scars on her body, Liu Yuchen's heart was broken.
"Your Highness, I know I shouldn't have dumped you. I did that because I was too furious about the things you did to Shuang'er and my mother. It is my fault, not Shuang'er's."
Liu Yuchen should never have obeyed the imperial edict. The biggest mistake he had ever made was to marry the bratty princess.
"If you feel bad for Tan Shuangshuang, you should do something to make up for her grievance." Feng Ruqing rubbed her chin with a smile in her eyes.
Feng Ruqing could not help but look at Liu Yuchen in disdain. If he had truly loved Tan Shuangshuang, he should never have brought her along to plead for mercy. Moreover, he had married another lady. If he was a real man, he should have shouldered the responsibility and never have gotten the person he loved involved in the first place.
Liu Yuchen did not seem to understand Feng Ruqing. He clenched his teeth and continued, "Your Highness, please don't hurt Shuang'er or vent your anger on my family. If you could forgive them, I will retract the divorce letter."
A sense of shame dawned upon Liu Yuchen's face as he spat each word aloud. However, he had no other options. In order to save his family from trouble, he was willing to spend the rest of his life with Feng Ruqing.
Hearing this, Tan Shuangshuang clenched her fists tightly. Her face was ghastly pale, bearing the pain of her nails digging into her palms. After all, she had put so much effort in getting Liu Yuchen to divorce the princess. Naturally, she did not want Feng Ruqing to continue staying in the chancellor's manor. However, Feng Ruqing was the princess. Liu Yuchen could do nothing but bow to her authority. "Pfft. It is a pity that I am not interested in a man who doesn't belong to me." Feng Ruqing snorted and shook her head.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Liu Yuchen stared at Feng Ruqing in bewilderment.
"I said I don't like you. Even if you have not given your heart to Tan Shuangshuang, I would never have fallen for a greasy and irresponsible person like you."
Liu Yuchen was deeply in love with Tan Shuangshuang yet wanted to take her as his wife at the same time? Initially, Feng Ruqing was indifferent toward Liu Yuchen. But now, she was annoyed at him. Liu Yuchen burned with rage, his hands balled into fists.
"Your Highness, please don't judge my love for Shuang'er. I did tell you when we got married. You are my wife but I would never give you my heart for I had given it to Shuang'er."
Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes. The princess was truly a fool. What good was there to marry a man who would never love her back?
"How dare you!"
The eunuch quickly stepped in. He thought that Liu Yuchen wanted to apologize to the princess, but little did he know, Liu Yuchen had simply criticized the princess.
