Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Madness!

That's utterly arrogant!

However, under the stern glare of the young master Mu, Miss Mu finally burst into tears: "That wild boar, I didn't kill that wild boar. I saw it lying on the ground struggling, but no one came to pick it up, so I went over... I went over and shot its leg, and my men picked it up."

"My third aunt was chatting with us at the time. She was just a little late in picking it up. We were talking not far away. There was no way you couldn't have missed us! And you still dared to take advantage of us!"

Chu Yueli's smile vanished, her cold gaze fixed on Miss Mu's face: "Tell me, where did you get the audacity? Are you trying to fool the Duke's mansion into having no one to rely on?"

Miss Mu didn't dare to speak, she just kept crying.

Prince Mu also lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Chu Yueli is right, the Duke's mansion is indeed empty-handed—this realization was before today, but after today, I'm afraid no one will dare to think that way anymore.

The Duke's mansion is full of experts and talented people. Who would dare to say that the Duke's mansion has no one?

And who can guarantee that their team can catch so many prey in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

This is simply unbelievable, unimaginable!

Chu Yueli narrowed her eyes, her voice not loud, but each word clearly pierced the ears of everyone present: "The people of our Duke's Mansion did not compete in the past, not because we could not compete, but because we did not want to compete!"

"From this day forward, anyone who dares to bully our Duke's mansion, we will fight to the death to see whoever does it!"

She waved her hand and said coldly, "Aunties, brother, let's go!"

The group left in a flurry of activity.

The remaining onlookers had only wanted to watch the spectacle, but after watching it, they all felt inexplicably tense.

After today, who will dare to say that the Duke's mansion is without talent?

Is this the real reason behind Chu Yue Li's arrogance today?

That day was the first round of the autumn hunting competition.

Ten teams were shortlisted, including the teams from the Prince Mo's Mansion, the Prince Jin's Mansion, and the Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Prince Ning and Rongwang's teams were also present.

One team this time is a bit special; it's the team of the Eighth Prince, Lu Ziling.

The Ninth Prince Lu Yunfei's team was also there.

It's not surprising that Lu Yunfei is there; what's surprising is that the Eighth Prince, Lu Ziling, has always been humble in front of and behind others.

In front of princes and nobles, she could never hold her head high because of her mother's unfortunate birth.

Recently, I heard that Lu Ziling often goes to Qiankun Palace to pay his respects to the Empress, and often takes the Empress's own son, the Fourteenth Prince, to learn knowledge and practice martial arts, just like brothers.

It is said that the Empress intends to raise the Eighth Prince in her own Qiankun Palace. Whether this is true or not is still unknown, as the Emperor has not yet issued an edict.

But rumors without foundation may not be without cause.

This eighth prince may very well become the new leader of the Empress's faction in the future, and the officials have begun to pay more attention to Lu Ziling.

Tonight, Lu Ziling knocked on the wooden door of the Duke's mansion's encampment.

"I just wanted to thank Miss Li, that's all."

Accompanied by Chu Xiaohe, Lu Ziling arrived at the wooden curtain of Chu Yueli's tent.

Chu Xiaohe said, "Ali, the Eighth Prince has arrived."

Chu Yueli inside remained completely still.

"Ah Li?" Chu Xiaohe frowned, a hint of unease crossing his heart. "Ah Li, are you there?"
