Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 Chapter 713 Prince Do Not Hit

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Prince, Do Not Hit Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Prince, Do Not Hit His Highness Prince Pu, had embarrassed himself before all eyes, Prince Pu could hardly help but be infuriated.

The Capital seemed vast.

Actually, in the Capital, the officials who served in the court were all very familiar with each other, and news spread rapidly. If something happened in anyone’s mansion, unless deliberately concealed, it would be known throughout the Capital within a few days.

The incident of him falling at the entrance of the General’s Mansion would surely be known by everyone in the Capital in a few days, and by then, his adversaries would use it as a joke.

“Father-in-law, you really wrong me, your son-in-law truly had no idea that you were right behind the door, and besides, isn’t it always the servants who do such strenuous tasks as knocking on doors? Your son-in-law could never have imagined that you would do it yourself.”

Hearing this, Prince Pu trembled with even greater anger, and pointed a trembling finger at him, “Are you suggesting that this Prince has brought this upon himself?”

“Your son-in-law did not say that.”

“But that is what you mean,” Prince Pu fumed, “How dare you, Situ Yongjie, bully my daughter, and now even dare to bully me. I’m telling you, this is not over.”

Situ Yongjie turned and glanced outside the door, only to see a sea of people beyond, including over a hundred guards brought by Prince Pu, and gradually more and more commoners had gathered to watch the excitement.

“Father-in-law, causing a scene at the door does not befit your status. Let’s go inside and talk this over slowly.”

Prince Pu turned his head and indeed saw many commoners gathering around, pointing and whispering.

“Let them look, what is there to fear? I haven’t done anything wrong. Rather, it’s you, Situ Yongjie. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Over the years, my daughter has bore sons and daughters for your General’s Mansion, continuing the family line. But instead of appreciating her, you spend your years away at war, leaving her alone to manage the General’s Mansion. Not only do you fail to appreciate her, but right after our eldest daughter came back, you discard her like a used tool. You’ve bullied them, and even gone as far as to poison her cruelly. Tell me, does your conscience not hurt?” Prince Pu was hot-tempered. Recalling Situtu Qinger’s sobbing and the uncertain fate of Lady Tang lying in bed, his heart wrenched in pain and his temper flared unabated, letting loose a loud shout.

Though Prince Pu was not young, his voice was strong. He said a lot in quick succession, each word crystal clear.

The onlooking commoners outside heard everything clearly and knew that there had been an incident in the back yard of the General’s Mansion. Immediately, they all perked up their ears, excitedly listening to this juicy news not to be missed.

Situ Yongjie was also somewhat infuriated, “Father-in-law, the matter of Auntie Tang has not yet been clarified. Do not jump to conclusions. Within the General’s Mansion, she has always been dominant. Who would dare harm her?”

Already furious, Prince Pu grew even more inflamed upon hearing Situ Yongjie refer to Lady Tang as Concubine, “You wretched brat, that’s too much bullying! I think you no longer wish to live, I’ll cripple you today!”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and moved to beat Situ Yongjie.

Frightened, his Personal Bodyguard quickly grabbed him, repeatedly calling out, “Prince, you mustn’t strike! General Situ is an Imperial Appointed Official. Your Highness must think thrice before acting. If he brings a complaint before The Emperor, it could be severe.”

“He wouldn’t dare.”

Prince Pu blustered and eyed Situ Yongjie, struggling to go and thrash him but was firmly held back by several guards, entirely unable to move.
