"You pushed me?"

Liu Yuchen was dumbfounded. He just realized he did push Feng Ruqing due to anger.

"I…"

His forehead was filled with cold sweat, while he was clenching his teeth.

"That's because you were bullying Shuangshuang. Even though you may be a princess, you shouldn't be so impolite and irrational. Shuang'er has been letting you have things your way, why would you still find trouble with her? In order to bully her, you even followed her to this spirit herb store. Would it hurt you to stop treating her so badly?"

Feng Ruqing sneered. She walked up to Liu Yuchen slowly, mocking him, "Which eye of yours witnessed me bullying the little white lotus here?"

"If you're not bullying her, then why would she be crying?"

Liu Yuchen clenched his fist, his eyes filled with hatred. In that moment, he had put the princess's royal status aside.

The only thing he knew was that he would never let the woman he loved be bullied.

"Yuchen."

Tan Shuangshuang gently tugged at Liu Yuchen's sleeve. She shook her head with her eyes bright, filled with anxiousness.

"Please don't offend the princess on my behalf. The princess was right. I shouldn't always visit your manor. It made her doubt my purity. It's understandable."

Liu Yuchen's heart was heavy. He raised his head as he glared daggers at the princess.

"Princess, a girl's purity is very important, do you not understand? By disgracing her purity in public, aren't you sentencing her to death?! I had never thought that you would hate her till this extend, till you want her life!"

Boom!

Qin Chen suddenly attacked.

A punch landed onto Liu Yuchen's chest. His body was forced backward—he stepped back a few steps and fell on top of the store counter.

"Yu'er!"

Lady Liu shouted as her face turned pale. She quickly ran to his side. Her eyes were filled with sadness and her heart ached.

All while Feng Ruqing just stood there at the back with her arms crossed, not bothered to help Liu Yuchen at all.

At this very moment, Lady Liu was afraid to even say anything. Although her heart was filled with hatred and dissatisfaction, she was afraid of the consequences of offending the princess.

"Which hand did you use to push me?"

Feng Ruqing's eyes didn't even glance at Lady Liu and Tan Shuangshuang. She immediately focused her gaze upon Liu Yuchen, staring down at him coldly.

Liu Yuchen's chest felt tight and anxious. He can no longer see the love and admiration that were once there in the princess's eyes. Now it was only a cold resentment.

"Princess!"

Tan Shuangshuang panicked. She rushed in front of Feng Ruqing and kneeled. Her face were covered in tears, her face was pale.

"If anyone's to be blamed, it was I… This has nothing to do with Liu Yuchen. It was I who foolishly s.n.a.t.c.hed away your highness's true love. It was I who went to the chancellor's manor to look for Lady Liu, which led to the misunderstanding."

From her words, she visited the Liu family's manor to pay a visit to Lady Liu. It was Feng Ruqing who had misunderstood her intentions.

Feng Ruqing laughed cheerfully while looking at Tan Shuangshuang.

"And then?"

Tan Shuangshuang was taken aback, she bit her lips, looking at the princess in embarra.s.sment.

"Princess, if you want to blame, then please blame me… If you're unhappy with me till the extent of following me to this spirit herb store just to insult me, I won't blame you. I just hope that you would spare Yuchen. He is innocent."

Liu Yuchen's chest tightened. Shuang'er was willing to do this for his sake yet he… was not even able to protect the woman he loved.Oh off with his he—hand!
