The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: Accident at the Flower Banquet III

Compensate him?
It seemed that in Fu Qingjiu’s eyes, this was sufficient to compensate him… sufficient to be considered equivalent to his grandfather’s life.
Why did his father forced him to come to the flower banquet?
Was this not just letting grandfather die in vain?
His grandfather had known that he was in pursuit of Fu Qingjiu and had given his life due to Fu Qingjiu’s capricious desires and had finally asked His Majesty… if, in the future, His Majesty wished to arrange for Fu Qingjiu’s marriage, that the emperor could consider him.
However, their Murong family never had the habit of forcing love, so when they had made such a suggestion, the prerequisite was that Fu Qingjiu had not found a person whom she loved and was destined to an arranged marriage. In such a situation, could they consider him?
However, from the beginning till the end, Fu Qingjiu had felt that his grandfather had used his life to tie her down, so whenever she faced another man’s pursuit, she only gave them a cold shoulder. Toward him alone, she was disgusted.
His Murong family’s power was already strong enough, there was no problem in not marrying a princess… was there any need for his grandfather to use his life to seek connections with the royal authority?
And his grandfather… only did this out of care for his grandson and that was why he had left this situation as it was and passed away in peace.
However, his father was very unreconciled toward this matter as it was his grandfather’s last words. Therefore, his father had always felt that only once he had married the princess, that his grandfather’s death would have not been in vain…
There was nothing left to do. He had indeed been fanatic toward Fu Qingjiu, but later on, he was no longer willing to face her looks, not willing to look at the pair of eyes that were filled with disgust.
In the end… he might even have disappointed his grandfather…
“Princess, I know you hate me. You hide it very well in front of His Majesty, but I have always known.” Murong Yang smirked a little, the smirk carrying an evil trace. Under the sunlight, that head of red hair was dazzling. “However, it doesn’t matter. Back then, I had liked you merely because of your face. There is no man on earth who doesn’t like beauties, I don’t feel it is something to be ashamed of.”
A trace of hatred and disgust flashed in Fu Qingjiu’s eyes but was quickly hidden again.
“I don’t like you only because you are too rude and that you have no kindness whatsoever. If you are willing to change and no longer rely on the strong and bully the weak, bullying these maidens, I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
She paused for a moment and then continued, “However, feelings must be mutually agreed on and not forced. Do you understand? I can be your friend, but there is no way I can accept you. You, too, do not wish to marry a woman who does not love you right?”
Not knowing how, this time, after Murong Yang had heard Fu Qingjiu’s words, he was not as depressed as before, but rather was able to breathe in relief.
Indeed, there was not a single man who would be willing to marry a woman who did not love him.
Such a life would be too pitiful.
If the princess insisted on not being married to him, his father and His Majesty would also have no choice. He did not have to face her cold shoulders, hatred, and disgust for the rest of his life either.
However, Murong Yang did not say these words out loud.
He grinned and looked at Fu Qingjiu with a perverted gaze.
“Princess, if His Majesty forces you to marry me, you, too, have no choice.”
“…”
Fu Qingjiu’s face turned green.
Her gaze was full of fury. “Murong Yang, you are preposterous!”
At that moment, all the young men and women attending the flower banquet came over and looked at Murong Yang angrily.
This Murong Yang was the only one who dared to act so preposterously toward Fu Qingjiu!
Was it not because Master Murong had lost his life to save Fu Qingjiu that made His Majesty feel guilty, that was why he dared to be this rude!
