The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

Feng Ruqing turned to Tang Yi. “Would you like to go and visit Xiao Yin later?”

Tang Yi laughed bitterly. “There’s no need for that. She’s living happily now. I don’t have to go and disrupt her life.”

Feng Ruqing was quiet for a while. “What about Tang Zi?”

Tang Yi was saddened when he heard that name.

He lowered his eyes and guilt was written all over his face.

He did not manage to protect Tang Zi that fateful year. She had suffered a lot because of that.

“There’s no need for that too.” Tang Yi sighed softly. “Tang Zi will be quite happy with you. Why should I go and remind her of her pathetic past by appearing in front of her?”

Feng Ruqing intended to persuade him at first. But, she decided against it after looking at Tang Yi’s grieving face.

In the end, she simply said, “Tang Zi has… never blamed you.”

Tang Yi was the only one who had protected Tang Zi in that cruel Tang family.

But, Tang Yi did not notice Tang Luo’s wickedness and he had never thought that Tang Luo would carry out his evil plans secretly.

So, Tang Zi had never blamed Tang Yi because of that.

Tang Yi put his hands behind his back. He turned and faced the soft breeze. His hair was white but there was a soft smile on his aging face.

“Princess, the time is late now. I should be leaving. Don’t mention to Yin’er that I’ve been here.”

‘Yin’er will surely leave and hide in a secluded place if ever she knows of the truth. That is her true nature.

‘Then, there’ll be no one to help her if she attracts an endless stream of strong enemies.’

Tang Yi waved his sleeves and walked out of the manor when he finished talking.

Soon, he was out of Feng Ruqing’s sight.

“Fu Chen.”

Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes and called for Fu Chen when Tang Yi left.

A soft breeze blew. Fu Chen’s small body appeared in front of her.

“Are you aware of the fact that… she’s a beastman?”

She remembered several instances where Fu Chen met Tang Yin and he looked like there was something on his mind.

‘It seems that Fu Chen might know the truth.’

Fu Chen lowered his eyes. “Yes.”

“Then… why didn’t you tell me before?”

“I…” Fu Chen was hesitant. “I just thought that there’s nothing wrong with beastmen. I never realized that those people intended to kill her.”

Feng Ruqing heaved a sigh helplessly. She hugged Fu Chen. She patted his small head softly.

“Luckily Tang Yi came and told me everything today. If not, I’d been caught unprepared in the future.”

“Then… Mother, will you still stay by Tang Yin’s side?”

“Yes.” Feng Ruqing smiled slightly. “Do you think that I’m a coward?”

Fu Chen shook his head.

‘If Mother is a coward, she wouldn’t have offended so many forces.

‘Even though… Mother is innocent.’

“It’s fine. I just need to cultivate harder from now on. Then, I’ll be able to protect her.” Feng Ruqing rubbed his head. “What’s wrong with being a beastman? I just want to see who’s daring enough to harm her as long as I’m strong enough to be able to stand above everyone else in this world.”

At that moment, arrogance and pompousness were written all over the young girl’s face.

There was a bright smile on Fu Chen’s soft and exquisite face.

‘That’s right. What’s wrong with being a beastman? Even though the world rejects her…

‘The world will still treat her like a god if she is strong enough to stand above everyone else.’
