Left Grand Tutor Zuo's slap hit nothing but air, and his entire body was carried forward by the momentum. He had to brace himself against the side of the bed with one hand to avoid falling to the ground.
His face flushed red with rage, his trembling hand pointed at Zuo Qingqing. "You... you unfilial daughter, how dare you dodge! Get over here and kneel before me!"
"Father, I truly don't know what mistake I made that warrants such punishment! If my face gets ruined, how will I meet the Eighth Prince?" Zuo Qingqing cherished her beauty, as Chu Yifeng often caressed her face and kissed her.
She really couldn't bear to ruin her face for no reason.
"You still have the face to mention the Eighth Prince!" Left Grand Tutor Zuo's fury surged to his chest, causing him to burst into a violent coughing fit. "Do you even realize that you're an unmarried daughter of this household?
You've been mingling with the Eighth Prince, utterly disgracing the reputation of the women of the Zuo family!"
