The divorce would happen sooner or later, and Tang Chujun had prepared for it. But it happened so suddenly that he panicked.

Now that the four Dharma protectors are by her side, what does she have to be afraid of?

Let's talk about the divorce process. At that time, she forced Shi Chengxuan to write a divorce letter, and several elders of the Shi family were in Dang.

Logically speaking, for a divorce with a family background like hers, the Tang family also needed her parents and clan elders to be present. But at that time, the old lady had fallen ill, and the old marquis had also fallen ill. The rest were all Tang Chujun's own people. Who would go to the Tang family to cause trouble?

So Tang Chujun asked Tang Chuyu to go through the back door and directly handle the divorce registration.

In short, Tang Chujun is the one who takes charge of her own life, and if she cannot make decisions herself, her children will take charge of them.

Anyway, since her father had never cared about her in the first half of her life, there was no need for her to pretend to be a father in the second half of her life.

Thinking of this, Tang Chujun stood in front of the main hall door with full aura, smiling gracefully, and said, "Greetings to father. How come father suddenly has time to come?"

She did not avoid or evade his gaze, her eyes were clear and there was no trace of timidity.

Tang Songlin looked further away, his eyes swept over the old man of the Shi family who was being led by servants to find a seat in the main hall, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you got divorced. Is it true?"

Tang Chujun frowned slightly, "It's true."

Tang Songlin's anger was swirling in his head. He was obviously very angry. Every word sounded like thunder in his ears. "You are very courageous."

Tang Chujun was silent for a moment, then gave the order, "Ling'er, take Xia'er and the others to greet the elders first, don't be negligent."

Wei Cailing looked at her mother-in-law with great concern, but when she saw the determination in her mother-in-law's eyes, she suddenly calmed down.

She responded, "Yes."

Tang Chujun said to Tang Songlin again, "Father, please follow me. I will give you a reasonable explanation."

After saying that, she went straight to the Manhua Hall in Haitang Courtyard.

Nanny Zhong hurriedly followed.

Shi Anxia said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you go and greet them first, Cen Yuan and I will follow and take a look."

Shi Yunqi and Wei Cailing agreed, and the two pairs acted separately.

When Anxia was outside the door of Manhua Hall, she heard her grandfather Tang Songlin swearing unilaterally inside. His roar was so loud that it shook the earth, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"You don't know what I'm talking about! You're getting more and more outrageous!"

"Do you look like the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate?"

"There are no rules at all!"

"Qi'er and Xia'er were led astray by you! That's why one of them married a girl from a low-income family, and the other married a boy from some unknown place!"

"They were all harmed by your ignorant mother!"

"It's a good thing your mother is no longer alive! If she were still alive, she would be pissed off to death by a daughter like you!"

Tang Chujun let her father open his arms to accuse her. She just wanted to hear what her father had to say.

She finally heard what her mother Mingzhen said, and she laughed softly, "Father, if time could go back, the first thing my mother would do is to resolutely refuse to marry into the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion."

"You!" Tang Songlin's face turned pale. "How dare you!"

Tang Chujun had memorized this passage several times and was very familiar with it.

She didn't make a fuss, but just quietly stated the facts, "The prince was not you at that time, but my uncle Tang Songyi. But Tang Songyi gambled excessively and lost the main house of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion, and owed a huge gambling debt. Just when the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion was at a loss, the Ming family was willing to form an alliance with the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion and marry my mother to you, my father."

Tang Songlin didn't want anyone to mention this past event.

But Tang Chujun insisted, "My maternal family not only helped the Duke's Mansion pay off its gambling debts, but also gave it a beautiful daughter. They don't ask for much, they just hope that the Duke's Mansion can help the Ming family, so that at the right time, the Ming family will have the opportunity to achieve a class leap, like the rich baron Chen family today."

This was the trick that Shi Anxia taught Tang Chujun, to change the subject.

Tang Chujun recalled his daughter saying, "If your grandfather settles the matter of your divorce, you should bring your grandmother out to settle the matter with him."

She is now using this method to settle accounts with her father.

At this time, Tang Songlin's face was so pale that it could not be described as livid. This was the most embarrassing thing in his life.

He was a young man full of vigor and vitality, but he actually married the daughter of a merchant family!

He hated it so much!

Because of hatred and contempt in his heart, he never had a good face towards Mingzhen.

Tang Chujun also looked at his father with disdain at this time, his voice was still unhurried, "My uncle was originally the crown prince, but because of excessive gambling, my grandfather reported to the late emperor and abolished him. And because you married my mother and made great contributions to the Huguogong Mansion, my grandfather asked for you to be the crown prince."

Tang Songlin's breath was disordered. Just as he was about to refute loudly, he heard his daughter mocking him in a strange and insulting tone.

"Father, please don't tell me that you are the most handsome and talented son of your generation. As a daughter, you know your own weight very well. Don't forget, there was also Second Uncle Tang Songyue at that time! Second Uncle was the third place selected by the late emperor! Do you want to think carefully, what are you? The first place, the second place, or the third place? Have you ever been on the list of successful candidates? Do you have the courage to take the imperial examination? In fact, you are the most mediocre in your generation. But at that time, Second Uncle had already married a wife, and the Ming family had to choose you. If there was a choice, do you think a beauty like my mother could look at you straight in the eye?"

Tang Songlin couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and slapped him.

Tang Chujun didn't dodge and took it head on.

The louder the slap was, the less respect she had for her father, and the less psychological burden she felt when he struck her heart.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at her furious father, feeling relieved.

Tang Chujun adjusted his speaking speed. His daughter said that the more hurtful the words are, the more lethal they will be if they are spoken slowly. Shouting at the sky and the earth is not the right way to do it.

She continued calmly, "Father, you have become the crown prince. Second uncle was so angry that he left home and would rather be an official in another place than return to Beijing. You became the biggest winner because of the Ming family, but you despise my mother for her merchant background. You use her money, but you look down on her in this way and that way."

Tang Songlin was so angry that he almost suffocated.

But as long as he was still alive, Tang Chujun would continue, "That year, the Hongjiang River burst its banks, the national treasury was empty, and the court had no choice but to raise funds. You persuaded my mother to ask the Ming family for money, saying that after the matter was accomplished, you would report the merits to the Ming family, and then the emperor would definitely reward the Ming family with a title."

"Stop talking!" Tang Songlin interrupted angrily, "Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Tang Chujun took a deep breath, stepped back and continued, "The Ming family believed it and generously donated their property to the court for disaster relief. But when you petitioned grandfather, you attributed all the credit to the Huguogong Mansion and didn't mention the Ming family at all!"

Tang Songlin's eyes turned red and he wished he could tear his daughter apart.

This daughter is here to collect debts!

Tang Chujun took a step back steadily, and continued in a gentle and calm tone, "Later, the emperor will allow you to continue to be the Duke of the Protectorate when you inherit the title in consideration of your contribution. Father, your title of Duke of the Protectorate was obtained with the money of the Ming family!"

Tang Songlin took a step forward in anger and raised his hand to swing... The door of Manhua Hall was kicked open.
