Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Feiyuan became even more enraged, her voice involuntarily becoming shrill: "What did you say? You're already disgusted with me? You..."

"Shut up!" Her voice was incredibly grating to Lu Fengjin, and he felt a kind of...rational disgust.

He admired Tuoba Feiyuan's genuine nature, but she couldn't be truly reckless and willful.

"When you're with me, I can let you run wild. I only ask you to restrain yourself a little in front of Mother Consort. Is that not allowed? Yuan'er, you resent me for not protecting you. But what have you done for me besides scolding me and losing your temper with me all day long?"

He truly didn't understand why he, a high-ranking and noble prince, had to put up with her temper.

At first, I found it novel and fun, and even enjoyed being scolded. But now, I suddenly feel a bit disgusted.

Why does he keep degrading himself?

"Think about it for yourself!"

Lu Fengjin flicked his long sleeves, turned around, and left.

Behind them, Tuoba Feiyuan could still be heard cursing and swearing.

He was so angry that he quickened his pace and hurried away.

As soon as he entered the study, Qin Wu quickly followed him in: "Your Highness, all twelve cities in the Northern Frontier have now been recovered. Prince Mo has returned with great merit, and the Emperor will surely reward him handsomely. This time, Prince Mo will gain favor with the Emperor."

"With his disfigured face, even if Father Emperor likes him very much, he will not really let him be the ruler of a country." How can a disfigured person be a king?

If Lu Beimo were to become emperor, the dignity of Dongling would be ruined by his disfigured face.

“There are many folk healers, and it’s not impossible to cure Mo Wang’s face… Your Highness, I think that at this time, Your Highness should listen to Consort Rui and hurry up and coax Miss Li.”

Qin Wu knew that he shouldn't speak out about his master's affairs, but now the situation had become extremely urgent.

No more hesitation.

"The Duke's Mansion commands 100,000 Chu family troops. If they were to join forces with Prince Mo, it would be a great disadvantage for you, Your Highness. Moreover..." Qin Wu didn't finish his sentence.

Lu Fengjin was in a bad mood and said angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say, why are you beating around the bush?"

Qin Wu took a deep breath before mustering his courage to say, "Moreover, in terms of beauty, figure, and... everything, Miss Li is... a thousand times better than Miss Tuoba..."

"What benefits did Chu Yueli give you? Why are you all speaking up for her?!"

Lu Fengjin was even more annoyed and said unhappily, "She is too scheming. This time she used the means of annulment to force me to submit. How can such a woman compare to Yuan'er?"

Undeterred by death, Qin Wu asked, "Then, Your Highness, what is so special about Miss Tuoba?"

He's always throwing tantrums at the prince, even his subordinates can't stand it. With that kind of looks, you could find a lot of them on the street. What is it about him that the prince is so attached to?

"You don't understand how good Yuan'er is!" Lu Fengjin sighed softly, feeling utterly helpless.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever treated him like Tuoba Feiyuan.

They all fawned over him, where was even a trace of Yuan'er's true nature?

"Fine, I've already experienced Chu Yueli's methods. Since she wants me to back down, I'll go to the Duke's mansion to coax her in a couple of days once she realizes her mistake!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This subordinate will immediately prepare generous gifts and accompany Your Highness to the Duke's Mansion!"

Lu Fengjin waved his hand, his mood still somewhat heavy.

But thinking about it, Chu Yueli used so many methods to force her mother and Qin Wu to speak up for her, so she probably really missed him terribly, but she just couldn't bring herself to ask him to reconcile.

I wonder where she's hiding right now, secretly wiping away her tears?

A true man can bend and stretch. If he can quell this farce before his fourth brother returns, he's willing to humble himself.

So, two days later, on that morning, Lu Fengjin, accompanied by Qin Wu, went to the Duke's mansion with gifts.

The servants said the young lady was in the backyard.

When Lu Fengjin arrived, he could see Chu Yueli sitting under the tree from afar.

That figure from behind exuded an indescribable loneliness and desolation.

His heart softened, and he finally remembered all the little things that had happened between them over the years.

His Ali has been living such a miserable life lately.

He's not a heartless person, how could he not feel sorry for him?
