Chapter 151  : The State Preceptor’s Vicious Tongue II

Tan Shuangshuang was indeed stronger. She could not endure a hundred whippings. But... at least it would not kill her.

Tan Shuangshuang bit her lower lip hard. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. She smiled bitterly. “I thought... I was very important to you. But I could never compete with your mother.”

“Shuang’er!” Liu Yuchen held Tan Shuangshuang’s hand tightly. “Don’t worry. I’ll search for good medicines to help you recover quickly. Trust me, okay?”

Tan Shuangshuang removed her hand quickly. She was crying hysterically now. “You have asked me to trust you. But have you ever trusted me? Am I the kind of woman who would not be bothered about my lover’s mother? I’ve decided to endure the whipping no matter what your decision is. But I had still hoped that... you’d choose me.”

Liu Yuchen was heartbroken and guilty after listening to Tan Shuangshuang’s desperate and painful words. It was like a sharp knife stabbing him in his heart.

“Shuang’er!” Liu Yuchen held out his hand and pulled Tan Shuangshuang into a tight embrace. He closed his eyes softly. “I’m sorry that I did not trust you. My Shuangshuang is always kind. You’ll understand me, won’t you?”

‘Kind?’

Tan Shuangshuang lowered her eyes and sneered. Her heart was ice cold.

‘I had always thought that you’re my most beloved person. But now, you have just given me up just like that.

‘If that’s the case, I’ll make you guilty, and you’ll suffer for the rest of your life because of me.’

“Princess.” Liu Yuchen released the girl in his hug. He raised his head and looked at Feng Ruqing. He gritted his teeth and said, “Now, are you satisfied? You made me choose between my mother and Shuang’er just because you want to see us in a situation like this, haven’t you?”

Feng Ruqing clapped her hands. “That’s right. This good scene is indeed satisfying. Tan Shuangshuang, do you realize now? He’s the man you have fallen for. He’s so useless that he can’t protect the woman he loves. What’s the use of keeping him?”

“You...” Liu Yuchen was infuriated. His fists were clenched even tighter. “Princess, every man would make the same choice as me. Why don’t you ask the other sons whether or not they’ll not protect their mothers? What about the man you want to marry in the future?”

Everyone was silent.

One could always get a wife. But, there was only a mother in this world.

So, everyone present could understand Liu Yuchen’s decision. Nobody would have thought that his decision was wrong.

“Qingqing.” Qin Chen frowned. “I’ll protect you. No one can hurt you.”

Not even his loved ones were allowed to lay a hand on her!

“You’re so obedient.” Feng Ruqing stood on tiptoe and patted Qin Chen’s head. She smiled then turned to look at Liu Yuchen.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. She seemed to give off a sense of being overbearing.

“But... If the man I love cannot protect both my mother and me, then why should I love him? My man doesn’t have to make a choice. It’s because he has to choose both.”

“Moreover...” Feng Ruqing took two steps forward. She smiled even more widely. “I will never allow anyone to threaten him. So, this kind of thing will never happen to him.”

Liu Yuchen was stunned. He was even angrier now.
