Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 759 - Chapter 759 Chapter 759 Contempt for the Imperial Family

Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Contempt for the Imperial Family Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Contempt for the Imperial Family Prince Pu nodded and said, “Yes! Father is willing to risk losing face and ask The Emperor to make a decision, refusing to allow you to be mistreated.”

“How does Father plan to speak to The Emperor?”

“He’ll speak straightforwardly. For over a decade, you not only bore children for Situ Yongjie but also managed the General’s Mansion. If there’s no merit, there has been hard work. Now that the Eldest Legitimate Daughter has returned, she wants to kick you and your daughter to the curb. No way, even if you agree, Father will not allow it.”

The more Prince Pu spoke, the angrier he became. Back then, he really shouldn’t have indulged his daughter’s temperament and married her to Situ Yongjie.

What was even more infuriating was that, after serving as a madam for so many years, because of a single phrase from Situ Yongjie that she was never ‘officially recognized,’ she became a laughingstock.

The fact that Lady Tang was not officially recognized would, he believed, spread throughout the Capital in a few days, turning into everyone’s joke over their meals. Just thinking about it made Prince Pu livid.

Lady Tang lowered her head and thought for a moment, “That’s fine. If Qinger really doesn’t want to marry War Prince, only The Emperor can resolve it.”

Princess Consort Pu asked, “Daughter, has that little bastard ever come to see you?”

Lady Tang shook her head, “When daughter was not yet out of favor, she disdained coming to Couple’s Courtyard, let alone now under these circumstances.”

“That’s too much, I’ll go teach her a lesson.”

“Mother, you must be careful. Don’t underestimate that little cheap person. Despite her young age, she is a formidable character, especially that big tiger. Don’t go near it. It’s been rumored among the servants that it truly does eat people.”

“We are the elders. If she dares to let the tiger bite us, we will go to The Emperor and accuse her of harboring a man-eating beast in the mansion without restraining it and letting it roam the General’s Mansion freely. That’s preposterous.”

Since Lady Tang was just recovering and had no strength in her body, she could only lie in bed to recuperate.

Prince Pu and his wife, leading a host of subordinates, marched boldly to the Qingyuo Pavilion.

Xuexue was in her space, learning and practicing Inner Strength with Xiao Taohong.

Suddenly, she heard a flurry of urgent footsteps outside, followed by Chuner’s panicked voice rising outside…

“Sister, sister, this is bad.” Chuner, too anxious to even knock, barged right in.

Xuexue was half-reclining on the bed, leisurely reading a book in her hands.

“Chuner, what’s happened?”

“Situ Qinger brought two old folks here looking for trouble. They look fierce.”

Chuner appeared frightful.

“Situ Qinger is back?” Xuexue frowned. Didn’t Situ Qinger go to Prince Pu’s Mansion to avoid War Prince? How could she have returned so soon? Could it be that she really wasn’t afraid of War Prince taking her by force to the War Prince’s Mansion?

“Yes, it’s true, she’s right now in our courtyard.”

“Let’s go see what’s happening.”

They hadn’t even approached the front hall when they heard a commotion of shouting and cursing inside.

Xuexue felt a jolt in her heart and hurried her steps even more.

Front hall.

Prince Pu and Princess Consort Pu sat proudly at the center of the great hall.

Situ Qinger stood behind them, watching coldly from the side.

Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie, along with all the maids from Qingyuo Pavilion, knelt on the ground.

Prince Pu was looking for a pretext to create trouble. As soon as he spoke, he began to insult Madam Xie, “How dare you, insolent peasant! When I arrive here, none of you pays their respects or welcomes me, deliberately slighting the Imperial Family. Speak, do you recognize your crime?”

With that, he slammed his hand on the table.

Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie, terrified, babbled apologies, prostrating on the ground, banging their heads, “Please spare us, Your Highness. We did not know of Your Highness and the Princess Consort’s sudden visit and failed to greet you from afar. We hope Your Highness can be magnanimous and not hold it against us.”
