Poison Physician Consort - Chapter 459

Lin Qianqian was young and insensible, but Lin Yangshi was no fool. She knew that for Pei Rumo to have come personally to deliver the edict, there was no going against it. “Your Highness, please calm your anger. My child is insensible and I’ll make sure to teach her properly.”

After talking, she pulled Lin Qianqian and hinted for her to kneel before Pei Rumo.

Pei Rumo felt even more disgusted when he looked at this family.

“I have already conveyed this imperial edict to you, you must accept it even if you don’t want to.” Pei Rumo turned around and prepared to leave, but he suddenly remembered something and added, “However, you guys better watch yourself. Don’t think I’m kidding around. Also, in the near future, there will be a wet nurse coming over to teach you how to mourn for someone. Let me warn you first, if you don’t do a good job, she won’t let you off.”

Pei Rumo felt free from worry when he finally saw the changes in their expression.

After Pei Rumo had left for quite some time, Lin Qianqian then threw the imperial edict that was on her hand onto the floor.

“That damned woman is already dead yet they refuse to let me off! I was already living under her shadow when she was alive, but they actually want me to mourn for her after she died?”

Lin Yangshi’s expression changed and she sighed when she noticed that Pei Rumo had left.

“Pui, what a shameless pair. He was obviously here to take revenge for that slut, how dare he act so dignified”

When Bai Luochu’s uncle saw the mother and daughter pair acting like this, he felt that their fates were sealed. Even though it was heart wrenching to see his daughter mourn for others, what made him more worried was that he might no longer be able to live in this residence anymore.

“That’s enough. The important thing is figuring out where we are going to move to. Didn’t you hear the First Prince say that this residence will be renamed to the Lady’s residence and other than her, nobody else will be able to remain here?”

“What?” The mother and daughter combo screamed in indignation.

When Pei Rumo arrived back at his residence, he shut himself inside his study room and refused to come out. When the guards saw their mastern acting this way, none of them dared to disturb him.

On the other side, the old emperor sat alone inside the Throne Room and he reflected upon himself.

Originally, he had planned to confer a title onto Bai Luochu so that she would be able to marry into the imperial family with a status befitting of a consort. He was even prepared to let her choose the prince she wanted to marry. No one knew that she would fall in the Desolate Region.

Even though she was still conferred a title, the old emperor was brooding over the fact that his wishful thinking had failed.

De Quan who had been beside the emperor for so long knew what his worries were so he suggested, “His Majesty, even though Divine Physician Bai is no longer around, we can still consider Feng Wan’er from the Phoenix King Valley.”

“De Quan, bring me the ink and brush. I want to write a letter to the Phoenix King Valley to express my sincerity in forming a relationship with them through marriage.”

Both the ink and brush were on the desk and what De Quan needed to do was simply press the paper for the old emperor. After that, he just needed to grind the ink.

The Valley Master of Phoenix King Valley was enraged when he received the letter.

“Who does the Water Cloud Nation think they are?! What do they treat our Phoenix King Valley as? They expect us to agree when they want a marriage but brush us off if they don’t want to?”

Due to the previous incident that happened between the Phoenix King Valley and the Cloud Water Nation, tension was high between them. If the Cloud Water Nation didn’t have the letter, it was fine if nobody brought the matter up. No one would have thought that the old emperor would do something so shameless to secure his position in the Cloud Water Nation.

“How about we ask Wan’er for her opinion?” The elder who had led the group previously suggested.

The Valley Master of the Phoenix King Valley contemplated for a moment before finally deciding to call her over.

“Father, why are you looking for me?” After Feng Wan’er had suffered losses in Water Cloud Nation, she became well-behaved in the valley and had treated her fellow disciples with respect and courtesy. All the elders even thought that she had grown up and matured. But the truth was that Feng Wan’er didn’t want Pei Wuchen to dislike her because of her domineering and bossy temper.

Looking at the well-behaved daughter in front of him, the Valley Master suddenly didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t as bad as everyone thought she was. In fact, she was loved by everyone in the valley. The only reason she lashed out at Bai Luochu was because of her jealousy.

He had even wondered if that brat, Pei Wuchen, was blind. Feng Wan’er had treated him so well, but he remained indifferent to her. What made him really angry was when Pei Wuchen gave up his daughter for the throne.

“Take a look at the letter that the Water Cloud Nation sent over.”

When Feng Wan’er heard that it was a letter from Water Cloud Nation, she immediately read the contents. After she was done, she ran over to her father like a happy child getting candy. “Father, the contents of this letter says that they want me to marry Pei Wu Chen! Shouldn’t we head over to Water Cloud Nation now?”

When the Valley Master saw that his own daughter was so eager to marry Pei Wuchen, he revealed a resentful expression.

It seemed as though the elder knew his daughter better than him.

“There’s no need to rush, let me write a letter and reply to them first. Once we receive news from their side, it won’t be too late to bring you over. Since the other party has already brought up the topic of marriage, you might even need to embroider your own wedding dress now. You should make use of this time and improve your embroidery skills.” The Valley Master explained as he found a reason to drive her away.

Feng Wan’er hopped away happily and hummed a happy tune, completely ignoring the fact that her father was chasing her away.
