Yes, the snow wolf did smile. Its corners of mouth curved into a treacherous smile.
When Liu Yuchen wanted to cover his exposed butt with a nearby leaf, the snow wolf held him in its mouth at once and marched outside with a confident and pleased look.
The princess forbade him to bite him, but it just bit off his clothes, so it… was not considered as a bite, right?
Bop!
There were just a few people on the quiet street. The snow wolf threw Liu Yuchen out of the door and closed it using its big paw without looking back. Then it headed to the back hill.
This unusual scene had attracted the attention of the people although there not many pedestrians on the street. Liu Yuchen hurriedly stood up and covered his bare butt with both of his hands. He rushed in the direction of Southern Street without looking back.
There were not many pedestrians in front of the princess’s manor but the crowd was bigger after walking out from the princess’s manor area. Moreover, there were no clothing shops on his way so the news of him running on the street with his bare butt spread like wildfire. The news traveled throughout the whole imperial city and even reached the chancellor’s manor …
On this day, Chancellor Liu felt the heat from the fellow ministers’ gaze. Once he found out the reason behind it, he immediately refused to step out of his manor as he was afraid to be the laughing stock of the imperial city.

The atmosphere was heavy in the imperial study chamber.
The tense atmosphere in the imperial study chamber even rose to an even higher tension as nobody dared say a word and they were even breathing cautiously.
“Your Majesty.” A eunuch came in and broke the silence. He bowed respectfully and said, “Noble Consort Rong and Princess Rushuang have arrived.”
Feng Tianyu looked stern and strict. He replied coldly, “Let them in.”
“As you command!”
The eunuch retreated after receiving the command. Within minutes, Noble Consort Rong who was wearing luxurious clothes from head to toe entered with a beautiful maiden.
Her facial expressions looked nervous as she stopped in front of Feng Tianyu with uneasiness and bowed slightly. “This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty.”
Crash!
Feng Tianyu picked up his teacup and smashed it on the ground. His blue veins protruded visibly on his forehead. He had an intense outburst of anger. “Noble Consort Rong, Feng Rushuang! How dare both of you!”
Liu Rong and Feng Rushuang were shocked and immediately kneeled on the floor. They were very terrified.
“Your Majesty, I do not know what I have done wrong, please forgive me.”
Feng Tianyu snorted with indignation. He picked up a notice and threw it to Liu Rong.
Liu Rong picked up the notice. After she scanned through the content of the notice, her face instantly turned pale.
Feng Ruqing… She really… did that?
Was it possible for her to forget how she had treated her with kindness all these years? Why must she force her to take desperate measures?
“Father!” Feng Rushuang finally finished reading all the words on the notice and looked at Feng Tianyu, almost crying. She quickly defended herself. “I did not! I really did not advise Sister to get married to Liu Yuchen. Liu Yuchen does not even match her standards. I never had this kind of intention.”
Feng Tianyu did not say a word and remained silent. His eyes grew colder as if there was a storm brewing.
At this moment, Liu Rong had already regained her composure. She clenched her fists tightly and forced a smile on her beautiful face.
“Your Majesty, perhaps Qing’er has misunderstood. Rushuang and I have always loved her. It’s impossible for us to let her get married to someone who doesn’t love her. She must be embarrassed and felt humiliated by Liu Yuchen’s divorce letter. That’s why she came out with such an excuse to regain her reputation.”
Feng Tianyu’s lips curled up in a condescending sneer. “Is that true?”
“Your Majesty, don’t you believe me?” Liu Rong gave a sad smile and continued, “I have always treat Qing’er like my own daughter and I can understand her current behavior. Thus, if Qing’er really wants me to admit that the reason she fell in love with Liu Yuchen was all because of Shuang’er and me, I will admit it for the sake of Qing’er’s reputation.”
