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

Tang Mumu smiled contemptuously, her voice gentle, "I'm not you. I can't do such a thing as killing my own flesh and blood. My sister is right. Not only are you heartless and ungrateful, but you also have no ability. Your ability can't support your ambition, so you try every means to use everyone around you. If you want to climb up the social ladder so much, why don't you let your precious son marry a princess?"

"That would highlight your great general's prestige, wouldn't it? I'm going to make this clear today. You're my father and I can't touch you. But if you do something shameless like this again in the future, I'll ask Prince Rong to deal with you. Just try it if you don't believe me."

Tang Zhengfeng was almost angry at her and fell to the ground. Tang Mumu didn't want to pay attention to him and pulled Tang Qingzhi out of the front hall.

It was not until they arrived at Tang Qingzhi's own yard that Tang Mumu let go of her hand. If the person in front of her was Achu, she would definitely have cursed him, but the person in front of her was Tang Qingzhi, so she couldn't curse him.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

Tang Qingzhi sat down slowly and shook her head with a dull look in her eyes. Tang Mumu waited for a while but she still didn't speak, so she couldn't help asking, "Why did you go to see King Chen that night?"

"I know you are not the person they say you are. You are such a good person, you would not do such a thing. If you have anything to say to me, I am willing to listen carefully. A person like father is not worth your sadness. You can live without father's love. You have grown up and are no longer at the age where you need father's love. When you marry my eldest brother in the future, things will get better and better."

Tang Mumu was still not very good at comforting people, but she couldn't bear to see Tang Qingzhi looking so lifeless.

"It was Chu Xiaoxiao who did it."

"what?"

Tang Qingzhi paused and continued, "On the night of the welcoming banquet, I couldn't bear it and went to the backyard to get some fresh air. I accidentally heard what Chu Xiaoxiao and the maid said. She mentioned Prince Chen. I didn't know in advance that she put Hehuan Powder in Prince Chen's wine. Later, I asked Lianxin to report to Lord Chu and Madam Chu to hold Chu Xiaoxiao back. I also stayed in the palace under the pretext of reminiscing about the past with you. At first, I just didn't want His Highness Prince Chen to get into trouble. I didn't expect Chu Xiaoxiao to be so bold, let alone..."

"I didn't know the medicine would be so strong." Tang Qingzhi suddenly curled her lips in self-mockery, tears welling up in her eyes, "I didn't know I was so shameless. I said I would help him, I said I wanted to be the Princess of Chen."

Tang Qingzhi covered her face with her hands, not daring to cry out loud, just like she had been suppressing her emotions for the past twenty years.

Tang Mumu frowned, finally understanding the whole story, and suddenly sighed, "Why did you do this? How do you feel about King Chen?"

"I like him, I like him Mu Mu, I have liked him for a long time, but no one knows it."

She only dared to express her feelings in front of Tang Mumu.

"But didn't you meet before? Just because he saved you in the Taiwei Mansion? Does the eldest brother know your feelings for him? Does he know that it was Chu Xiaoxiao who drugged you?"

Tang Qingzhi shook her head and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I don't know. I thought no one would know about this. I thought nothing would happen if we got married earlier."

Tang Mumu frowned and wiped away her tears, and then tried to comfort her: "Fortunately, Prince Chen is quite sensible. He has explained the rumors in the palace and issued an order not to discuss this matter in the future. When you asked for an order, your eldest brother said that he has been fond of you for a long time and this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Mu Mu, do you think... will he believe the rumors in the palace? Will he think that I was the one who gave him the He Huan Powder? Will he really think that I am the shameless woman they say I am?"

"No." Tang Mumu held her hand. "His Highness said that the eldest brother is a good man, a man worthy of entrusting his life to. If he really believes those nonsense, it means that you have chosen the wrong person. Let's run away. But before that, don't believe him. He is the person you like, you have to believe in your own vision."

"You will be married in a few days. Don't think about anything during this time. Just stay at home and wait for your marriage. I will come to the general's mansion often during this period. If anyone in the mansion goes crazy again, I will teach them a lesson for you. They just bully the weak and fear the strong. I will just teach them a few more times."

"But you have to be strong, sister. Since you know that father has always treated us as pawns, don't be sad about their indifference. He gave birth to us and this is his reward, but we don't have to do everything according to his arrangements. Since he doesn't care about you, you should also learn to not care about him."

Tang Qingzhi wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves and smiled sincerely at Tang Mumu, "I remember what you said, but you should not go to the general's mansion so often in the future. After all, you are married, and your father is a general who holds military power. The emperor is suspicious of Prince Rong, and your close contact with the general's mansion will make the emperor more suspicious of Prince Rong."

Tang Mumu naturally knew this truth, but she couldn't just watch Tang Qingzhi being bullied, so she just agreed casually. Thinking of the unfamiliar face she had just seen, she pulled Tang Qingzhi and asked, "Who was the person sitting next to Tang Jingchuan just now? I've never seen him before, but he looks good."

"Are you talking about Jing He? You have indeed never met him. He was not at home before you married into the Rong Palace for Tang Lexu. He has been working with the newly appointed Jing Wang for two years. He should have gone to the welcoming banquet that night, but his father did not allow him to go, so today should be the first time you two have met."

"Jinghe is the youngest among us. She should be seventeen now. Her mother was the former concubine Chen in the mansion. Unfortunately, she had a difficult delivery and died when Jinghe was just born. Since then, she has been raised under her mother's name."

"So he is my younger brother? Then why didn't father let him enter the palace to attend the welcoming banquet? I heard Rong Yan say that father wanted to reward those who made contributions this time, and Prince Jing also recommended someone from our mansion to father. Now I think the person recommended by Prince Jing should be him."

"Perhaps it's because the eldest son has accomplished nothing, so he doesn't allow others to stand out."

This is the only reason. Tang Mumu really hates the idea of ​​legitimate and illegitimate children. Isn't it the ability that matters most when it comes to being a human being? What does it have to do with one's background?

"Jinghe has been a loner since he was young. He doesn't often attend large-scale banquets. He doesn't talk much in the mansion on weekdays. Except when he has to show up, he stays alone in his yard most of the time. I have only spoken a few words to him and don't know him well. But I still remember that when he first joined the army, he was still a fair and handsome young man. But in the past two years, his skin has become darker and he has grown a lot taller. He looks more energetic than before."

Tang Mumu touched his chin and nodded, "I think he wanted to attack just now. If I hadn't used a stone to knock away the cup thrown by my father, he might have been the one who attacked. It seems that our younger brother has more conscience than that playboy Tang Jingchuan."

Tang Qingzhi took a look at the sky and urged Tang Mumu to return home quickly. Tang Mumu couldn't persuade her, so she told Lianxin to go to the palace to find her if anything happened. After getting Tang Qingzhi's repeated assurances, she ran away like a gust of wind.
