Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Zisu said helplessly, "She really doesn't know how to talk. She keeps calling me a witch. I would get angry too."

"I'm not angry." Chu Yueli smiled, glanced at the sky above her head, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "His fourth brother has indeed sacrificed too much for me. To him, I am here to collect a debt from his fourth brother. He loves his fourth brother so much, so it is only natural that he hates me."

Putting yourself in her shoes, if your older brother had been devoted to a woman for so many years, but that woman had fallen for another man along the way, you would also feel resentful towards that woman.

She could just keep it to herself and not show it. Lu Yunfei, on the other hand, had been pampered and carefree since childhood, and his temperament was not calm enough. He just couldn't hold back.

Zisu thought for a moment, then simply let out a sigh and said nothing more.

Yes, if it were her, she might not be able to resist either.

After all, the devotion that Prince Mo has shown to Miss is something that most people could not do.

"Miss, where are we going now?" Zisu was in charge of the inner quarters and wasn't particularly clear about what was happening outside.

Miss must have had a purpose in going out today.

"Let's go sit at the Star-Picking Tower."

Zhaixinglou is a place for drinking tea and eating.

They requested a private room.

At this time, it was close to noon. After ordering a few dishes from the waiter, Zisu accompanied Chu Yueli to eat and drink.

But the person Chu Yueli wanted to see never appeared.

Zisu was also patient, simply talking to her mistress about the Prince's plans for the upcoming spring season, waiting with great patience.

“New Year’s Eve is just a month away. I’ve looked through the accounts of the Prince’s Mansion. Actually, we have quite a lot of money. However, the Prince has been away from home for a while and hasn’t been managing the accounts. The money is all kept in the storeroom. The steward is only responsible for counting and storing the money. The Prince’s Mansion has no other investments.”

“Other wealthy families would invest their spare money in various industries, such as cloth, grain and oil businesses, or money shops. Although the prince is not short of money, it is not enough when he really needs it.”

No one ever thinks they have too much money; if you leave money lying around, it will lose its value over time.

As for Zisu's point about when money is truly needed, at those times, money really is a necessity.

Chu Yueli knew perfectly well what was going on in her heart.

"So what kind of investments do you think we should make at this stage?" Chu Yueli asked.

"Miss, if you want to make an investment, will the Prince have any objections?" This is very important.

"No, the storeroom key is in my hands, and I decide how the property of the Prince's Mansion is distributed." Moreover, Lu Beimo doesn't care about money at all. Chu Yue only discovered after marrying into the family that this guy didn't even have a single decent luxury item in his house.

He possessed the jeweled belts, gold belts, white jade pendants, jade crown buckles, and brocade robes that other noble young men favored, but he seemed to have hardly ever touched them.

Chu Yueli guessed that Liu Yun had prepared them for him, but he had no interest in these things, so he just kept them in the closet and wore them when needed, such as when he went to the palace to attend a banquet.

Normally, I really don't touch it.

Having known each other for so long, she only just realized that she never had the chance to notice what Mo Wang was wearing.

It's not that you don't pay attention to him, but when Mo Wang appears, your gaze is involuntarily drawn to his eyes, his aura, and his unique, cold yet alluring charm.

There was simply no chance to notice anything else.
