Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“Ajin, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted you to understand that your father’s love for you isn’t as much as you think. To him, you’re not much different from the other princes.”

Qin Mingyue appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, continuing, "Why were you only notified to take over all of this when the manufacturing plant was almost finished? Don't you understand?"

Lu Fengjin's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.

Perhaps it's not that I don't understand, but rather that I don't want to understand.

But since Qin Mingyue has already chosen to make things clear, why would she give him any more chance to pretend to be confused?

She continued, "If it weren't for your fourth brother's sudden request to lead an expedition to the Southern Mongols, and his firm determination to go, which even the Emperor couldn't stop him from doing, do you think this manufacturing plant would have ended up in your hands?"

"do not talk……"

"Ajin, face reality! You are not your father's first choice! Prince Mo is!"

Qin Mingyue was determined to make him see everything clearly today, and would never give him any chance to escape or back down again.

"You are only his second choice! He is afraid that Prince Mo will not have a chance to return from Nanmeng alive! You should know that those men from the Duke's Mansion were all famous generals, and they all died in Nanmeng!"

Chu Yueli, standing some distance away, felt a sudden tension in her heart.

Even today, whenever anyone mentions the deaths of her parents and uncles in front of her, it's like a knife stabbing deep into her heart.

However, although it really hurt her heart, if what Qin Mingyue said was true, then she had no choice but to agree with Qin Mingyue.

Lu Fengjin was indeed only the emperor's second choice.

Such a life is actually very tragic.

Although Lu Fengjin didn't speak, he clenched his fists tightly, and his fists trembled slightly.

Anyone could see that he was disappointed and angry!

Qin Mingyue continued, "Ajin, you don't want to betray your father, but have you ever thought about what would happen if the Mo King really returned alive from Nanmeng, and even successfully reclaimed Nanmeng? At that time, the whole country, including your beloved father, would only have eyes for him. What would you be then?"

"I told you to shut up!" Lu Fengjin roared, "I don't want to hear your words, get out of here!"

“Ah Jin…”

"Get out!" Lu Fengjin lost control of his emotions.

Qin Mingyue felt somewhat helpless; she had already made herself clear enough.

However, judging from Lu Fengjin's expression at this moment, although he stubbornly refused to admit it, he knew it in his heart.

She has achieved her goal tonight.

"Alright, I won't say anything more or force you. Let's go back to the manor first, and we can talk about it later, okay?" She tried to take his hand again.

This action disgusted Lu Fengjin, who shoved her away!

"What difference is there between you and my father? Stop pretending in front of me, I won't fall for it." Lu Fengjin said coldly, "Get lost!"

Qin Mingyue was truly at a loss. It was all that slut Tuoba Feiyuan's fault for sowing discord; otherwise, this man would have been much easier to fool.

"Never mind, time will tell. You'll understand my feelings for you in the future."

She told herself there was no rush.

"Alright, if you don't want to come with me, then I'll go back to the palace first. Ah Jin, it's windy and cold outside, so don't stay too long."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Chu Yueli watched her walk away and then planned to go back to find Jing Lei.

Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, his breathing suddenly became erratic.
