Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli was stunned at first, but then she burst into laughter.

It's really ridiculous.

"Your Highness, my elder brother personally went to obtain the imperial decree to annul the engagement. Now you're sending people from our Duke's Mansion to the Emperor to have him rescind the decree? Do you want our Duke's Mansion to be disliked by the Emperor from now on?"

"This was originally something your Duke's mansion did themselves. Do you expect me to clean up your mess?"

Lu Fengjin had already restrained his temper quite a bit, and his words at this moment were still relatively polite.

“Ali, don’t be willful. You know I can’t make a mistake in front of Father. If General Chu goes to Father to ask for help, at most Father will scold him a few words, but things can still be salvaged.”

“If he doesn’t go, our marriage will really be called off! Ali, that’s enough! If the wedding is really canceled, and we still want to get married in the future, even the people will laugh at us! At that time, it will be too late to make amends.”

"I never intended to salvage the relationship."

So what's the point of all that he's saying?

Lu Fengjin's eyes suddenly darkened. "Ali, I've come in person. How long are you going to keep this up?"

Chu Yueli frowned slightly: "Your Highness, what is it that makes you feel I can't live without you? Why do you still think I'm being difficult? Wasn't the imperial decree that night enough for you to see the truth before you?"

"Just because there's a woman next to me?" Lu Fengjin was clearly impatient, but at this moment, he was more disappointed.

"I am a prince of a kingdom, and I may very well become the ruler of a kingdom in the future. There will be more than one woman by my side in the future. Even if I were willing, the people of the world would not agree!"

"So, what you said before about only loving me in this life, and what you've now promised Tuoba Feiyuan about being devoted to one person for life, were all just empty words?"

Chu Yueli began to have some doubts: in the past nine years, had she really seen the man in front of her clearly?

Is this the man she has loved for so many years?

Lu Fengjin's expression changed: "I am sincere to Yuan'er, but I promised to protect you for life, and I will never let you down! I have always reserved the position of Princess Jin for you, and I have done right by both of you."

"Is it just because you know that with Tuoba Feiyuan's background, the royal family would never allow her to become the Princess Consort of Jin, that this position was given to me?"

It's a win-win situation, but in the end, he's the only one who benefits!

These words were like a heavy, harsh slap across Lu Fengjin's face.

His face burned instantly.

His true colors were exposed, and he almost went from being a gentleman to a tyrant.

He clenched his fists tightly, enduring the pain!

"Chu Yueli, I advise you to stop now!" He took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress his anger.

"You know perfectly well what the situation is like in your Duke's Mansion now! Chu Xiaohe has become a cripple, the Duke's Mansion's lineage has ended, and in the future, the 100,000 Chu family soldiers of the Duke's Mansion will be without a master, and Father will definitely take back their military power!"

"If you obediently return to my side, I can still protect your Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, the Duke's Mansion will face destruction, and in the end, you will be nothing!"

"I'm sorry, our Duke's mansion has its own way of dealing with this matter, so Your Highness need not trouble yourself with it."

Chu Yueli leaned forward slightly and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, please leave."

"There are only ten days left until the wedding next month!" Lu Fengjin's face turned red with anger.

He already said, "Enough is enough!" Doesn't this woman understand?

Where have all the understanding, knowledgeable and reasonable people gone?

"I'm making this clear today: I'll only reserve the position of Princess Jin for you for ten days! If you still don't repent and continue to give me attitude and act spoiled, I swear that in this lifetime, the throne of Princess Jin will never belong to you, Chu Yueli!"

Who doesn't have a bit of pride?

He, Lu Fengjin, would never again lower himself to beg her for reconciliation!

"Whether you continue to cause trouble and suffer for the rest of your life, or immediately go to the palace with Chu Xiaohe to apologize to the Emperor and ask him to rescind his order, it's up to you! I have no patience to play along with your antics!"
