The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife

Chapter 855: Meeting Tan Shuangshuang Again IV

‘Spirit herbal dishes?’

The woman’s eyelids fluttered but soon she became still again.

It had been such a long time.

There were other people who were able to brew spirit herbal dishes.

But, she was no longer one of them anymore.

The woman hugged both of her knees tightly. She was still curled up in the darkest corner of the cell. She buried her head deep between her knees. It seemed as if she felt something in her heart.

What if a person could enjoy the privilege of immortality?

Was that a blessing or a curse?

It might be a great pain for her. She needed to endure all the pain and continue to live in this world.

Gu Shi sighed heavily. Then, he turned around and walked out of the cell.

He turned and glanced at the imperial guard beside him when he walked out of the jail. “Go and ask Yu Lao to come and meet me,” said Gu Shi seriously.

“Yes.”

The imperial guard obeyed the order and retreated respectfully.

***

Not many people knew of the incident that had happened on the surface of the Southern Ocean. On the contrary, Tian Shen Manor appeared peaceful as of late.

Surely, the Mu family was an exception.

Chen Qingyan had brought along Mu Huan to prepare birthday presents for their father these past few days in order to show her filial duties.

Mu Ling was never bothered about the affairs of the Mu family. Chen Qingyan was the only one who took care of these things. Moreover, Mu Xi was always fooling around with women. He rarely bothered about these things.

Therefore, Tan Shuangshuang assumed that she could lead the Mu family when Chen Qingyan left. It seemed that she yearned for the news of her pregnancy to be known by the entire world. She wanted them to know that she was pregnant with Mu Ling’s child.

A few maids followed closely behind Tan Shuangshuang while they were strolling in Tian Shen Manor.

They were holding different kinds of boxes in their hands. Those boxed held exquisite and rare spirit herbs. Their act was quite daring and it seemed that they were not afraid of the possibility of the spirit herbs being snatched away from them.

“Lady Shuang.” The maid, Xiao Liu, was annoyed with what Tan Shuangshuang was doing. She sounded sarcastic. “We have left the manor and bought a lot of spirit herbs. If the young manor master and the young lady get to know this, they might be infuriated.”

Tan Shuangshuang frowned slightly. “Father’s birthday is coming soon. I’m his daughter-in-law. Why can’t I prepare some presents for him? Since I cannot give him the spirit herbs of the Mu family, I have to go out and purchase them. Don’t tell me that I don’t even have this kind of privilege.”

Xiao Liu had all kinds of sarcastic thoughts in her heart.

‘Master has only one daughter-in-law and she is Lady Qingyan.

‘You’re only a woman without any status. You’re not even a concubine. How could you assume yourself to be his daughter-in-law?

‘If you’re not pregnant, I wouldn’t even have addressed you as ‘lady’.’

But, Xiao Liu never showed her annoyance as she was only a maid.

She understood the difference between superiority and inferiority.

As Tan Shuangshuang was about to leave with her palace maids and the spirit herbs, she suddenly stopped short in her path. Darkness and coldness dawned on her smiling face. There was a sense of bottomless hatred in her eyes.

‘Feng Ruqing!

‘Why is she here in Tian Shen Manor?’

Soon, Tan Shuangshuang released her tightly clenched fists. Her lips curled up as she slowly walked toward Feng Ruqing.

‘Princess, I never thought that we will meet again.”

***

A familiar voice made Feng Ruqing tilt her head to one side while she was talking to Luo Li.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and she was deeply shocked.

‘Tan Shuangshuang...

‘Wasn’t she with Liu Fuyong?’

Feng Ruqing had not been bothered about Tan Shuangshuang since that incident. She did not think that she would meet Tan Shuangshuang in Tian Shen Manor.

It seemed that enemies were always bound to meet each other one way or another.
