After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

"Speak, are you mute?" Tang Zhengfeng suddenly slammed the table, and everyone in the room was so frightened that they dared not move.

"Why does father ask that?" Tang Qingzhi asked back. She really didn't know why her father was so angry.

"Tang Qingzhi." Tang Zhengfeng shouted, his face terribly gloomy, "Do you know what people in the palace say about you? You are the daughter of the general's mansion, the most talented woman in the capital. You were so obedient when you were a child? How come you have become so... so shameless now?"

Tang Qingzhi frowned, but still said calmly, "Father, where do you get this from? How can your daughter be so shameless?"

Tang Qingzhi felt angry and resentful when her father said this to her.

"You must make it clear for your father? Well, I will grant your wish today. Tell me the truth. Where did you go on the night of the welcoming banquet?"

Hearing this, Tang Qingzhi closed her eyes, then quickly opened them again, raised her eyes to meet Tang Zhengfeng's gaze, and said loudly, "My daughter went to see King Chen."

There was another angry shout, and a teacup brushed past her ear. Tang Qingzhi was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Even though she told herself a thousand times in her heart not to be afraid, she still couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"So the rumors in the palace are true? Did you really intend to seduce Prince Chen? You even dared to put drugs in Prince Chen's wine? You..." Tang Zhengfeng suddenly stood up and pointed at Tang Qingzhi with a trembling finger.

"You are so shameless. Have you forgotten all the rules you learned before? Don't you know how much effort the General's Mansion has put into training you? Everything you have worn since you were a child has been the best. Is this how you repay me?"

Tang Qingzhi suddenly took a deep breath and for the first time mustered up the courage to face her father. "Father is right. The General's Mansion has spent a lot of effort to train me. From childhood to adulthood, I have worn and used the best. But father, why don't you ever ask me if I like these things?"

"How insolent of you." Tang Zhengfeng looked at him coldly, already furious to the extreme.

"Father." Tang Qingzhi seemed not to notice Tang Zhengfeng's expression. "I have envied my two younger sisters since I was young. I even envied my second younger sister. Father has warned me since I was young that I am the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion and I must always be careful about my words and deeds and not lose the face of the general's mansion. Over the years, I have indeed been very careful in everything, fearing that I would do something wrong and fail to live up to your cultivation over the years."

"They all said that my daughter was respectful, thrifty, virtuous, gentle and kind. I didn't even dare to raise my voice. I tried hard to learn the rules and read those obscure books carefully. I was detained in the mansion and could not go out. Except for the noble ladies in the palace, my father did not allow me to associate with women of marriageable age. Therefore, the women from the noble families said that I was a sycophantic person and would do anything to make friends with the powerful. My father had heard these words before, but he never defended his daughter."

"I actually hate complicated rules and obscure words and phrases. I like to be lively and go to teahouses with friends to listen to operas and music. Father, what I hate most is the title of the most talented woman in the capital."

Tang Qingzhi let out a breath, and the corners of her lips curled up, as if she wanted to express all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years.

"Father always said that I was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, and the glory of the general's mansion depended on me alone. I also knew that the person my father wanted me to marry was Prince Shun. In fact, my father was the heartless, selfish and hypocritical person. You, as the general of Zhenping, did not want to fight in the battlefield to defend the country, but my father was not satisfied with the status quo and only wanted to rely on his daughter's marriage to consolidate his position in the court."

"I am not the only one treated as a chess piece by father. Mu Mu is also one. When the emperor arranged the marriage between Prince Rong and Mu Mu, you did not care about her life or death. Later, Mu Mu not only survived well in Prince Rong's mansion, but also won the favor of Prince Rong. Father then had new plans. Now that Prince Rong has handed over his military power, father feels that my sister is no longer of any use to you. Father, we are all your daughters, not chess pieces that can be discarded at will."

Looking at Tang Zhengfeng again, he was so angry that he could hardly stand. He shouted angrily and threw the other cup in his hand towards Tang Qingzhi. Tang Qingzhi closed her eyes, knowing that she could not avoid it, so she simply didn't bother.

The pain they had imagined was not felt. Instead, there was a sharp crash and the cups fell to the ground and scattered. A small stone was also bounced away. Everyone looked towards the door and saw that Tang Mumu had just put down his hand, with another stone still in his hand.

"Old man, do you still have a brain? She is your biological daughter. She will be married and move into the Prince's Mansion in a few days. A woman's beauty is precious. She is now the future Princess of Chen. You hurt her. Are you sure you can bear this responsibility?"

Tang Mumu stood beside Tang Qingzhi and politely bowed to the elders present one by one.

"Tang Mumu, you came at the right time. Your eldest sister has been well-behaved and obedient since she was young. If you hadn't led her astray, how could she have done such a shameless thing that brought disgrace to the family?"

Hearing this, Tang Mumu sneered and looked at Tang Zhengfeng with a cold eye, "Ruining the family reputation and having no sense of shame? Father really doesn't hold back any mercy when he speaks. Instead of checking the truth behind the scenes, you accuse your own daughter of having no sense of shame. Father is only in his forties now, how can his mind be so muddled?"

Glancing at Tang Qingzhi kneeling on the ground, Tang Mumu said coldly, "Even Prince Chen said that the rumors in the palace were untrue, but father still came back in such a hurry to call for accusations. Could it be that father really only has Prince Shun as his master, and Prince Chen is not worth mentioning in your eyes?"

Tang Mumu suddenly pursed her lips, not giving Tang Zhengfeng a chance to refute, "What my elder sister said has already flattered father. Do you really dare to accept the official title obtained by selling your daughter's marriage? As the Zhenping General, you don't think about protecting the people but think about taking shortcuts all day long. It's really easy for father to be a general. Now He Yanhaiqing really doesn't need father, but father should also change someone to fight with, right?"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Tang Jingchuan who was gloating at the side, "Second brother, as the eldest son of the mansion, he was raised with great wealth and treasures, shouldn't he also share some of his father's worries? All he does all day is drink and have fun, and go out to have affairs with women. The reputation of the general's mansion is indeed not very good, but it's all thanks to you, my precious son."

Tang Jingchuan, who was mentioned, naturally refused to accept it. He immediately pointed at Tang Mumu and scolded, "Tang Mumu, are you so bold? How dare you lecture me like this? Don't think that you are superior just because you are the princess. I am still your brother."

Tang Mumu snorted coldly, not even willing to look at him. He bent down to help Tang Qingzhi up, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Tang Mumu, you are so presumptuous. I am your father, how dare you disobey me?"

Tang Zhengfeng's furious voice came from behind. Tang Mumu picked up the broken porcelain pieces at his feet, turned around and threw them towards Tang Zhengfeng. The latter dodged by turning his head, and the porcelain pieces were embedded tightly in the wooden frame behind Tang Zhengfeng.

"Tang Mumu, are you crazy? How dare you kill your father?"

Tang Qingzhi grabbed Tang Mumu and shook her head at her. Tang Mumu ignored her dissuasion and took two steps forward to Tang Zhengfeng.
