Chapter 734: Chapter 734 Prince Pu Chapter 734: Chapter 734 Prince Pu Prince Pu frowned upon her with contempt, yanking her sleeve forcefully as he whispered, “I told you not to come, yet you insisted on coming and now you’re making a fool of yourself here.”
In the Prince’s Mansion, Princess Consort Pu would normally not take no for an answer, and Prince Pu never dared to defy her.
But now, in front of this crowd, Prince Pu showed no regard for her face, actually scolding her in front of others.
Princess Consort Pu bristled with fury, “You old fool, I know you think I’m old, so why don’t you go find yourself a little vixen spirit instead? Don’t concern yourself with our mother and daughter!”
Prince Pu had a splitting headache and hurriedly placated her with a submissive tone, “My dear Princess Consort! You know that’s not what I mean.”
“Then what do you mean?” she demanded, still fuming.
“It pains my heart to see you pleading with others, I can’t bear it.”
Only then did Princess Consort Pu’s mood start to settle, “Our daughter has been wronged, as her birth mother, of course it’s my duty to seek justice for her.”
Prince Pu of course understood what Princess Consort Pu meant, but the attitude of the War Prince yesterday was clear, even begging would be futile.
With his usual stoic face, War Prince coldly said, “Prince Pu, Princess Consort, whether there’s injustice or not, let’s talk about that after your daughter has been rescued.”
Situ Yongjie said, “Right, right, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, there’s little time left, let’s have the doctor give Auntie Tang the antidote first.”
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Pu glared fiercely at Situ Yongjie, “Since when did my daughter become a concubine?”
With a calm demeanor, Situ Yongjie responded, “My mother-in-law, when Auntie Tang entered the General’s Mansion, the terms were clear to everyone. If you have forgotten, I’m sure the Emperor hasn’t. One of these days, I could accompany you both to the Imperial Palace and testify before the Emperor.”
Situ Yongjie had brought the Emperor into the equation.
Suddenly, Prince Pu and his wife were at a loss for words. Back then, Lady Tang was determined to marry Situ Yongjie, but, Situ deeply loved his wife Madam Li and refused to marry her no matter what. After Lady Tang starved herself for three days, Prince Pu, out of love for his daughter, had to swallow his pride and request an Imperial Edict from the Emperor to grant the marriage. Lady Tang finally got her wish, but only managed to become a concubine.
At that time, the incident caused quite a stir in the Capital.
Indeed, Lady Tang, of Imperial Family descent and noble status, humbled herself to accept the position of a concubine, which naturally became a hot topic of gossip.
After a while, Princess Consort Pu sullenly asked, “Didn’t they say she had been elevated to proper wife status? Why is she still called a concubine?”
“That’s not the case, if she truly had been promoted, the family records would have been updated too. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the Situ Family’s genealogy,” Situ Yongjie offered.
They continued to argue on the spot.
Having walked a few steps away, War Prince turned around, impatiently saying, “Do you actually want to save your daughter or not? If not, I’ll leave with the doctor right now, so as not to waste any more time here.”
Known for his no-nonsense nature, War Prince indulged in his whims in Moli Country, and even the Emperor showed him some deference–everyone knew this.
Thus, when Prince Pu and his wife heard him say this, they were truly afraid he would just walk away.
Hastily, they chased after him with ingratiating smiles, “We want to save her, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time.”
War Prince gave them a cold look and said nothing more, turning around and striding inside.
Prince Pu and his wife exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed.
Trailing behind them, Situ Yongjie shook his head to himself, thinking that this couple could only be handled by the War Prince.
