Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“I…” Lu Yunfei looked at Chu Yueli, unsure how to continue.

An Delu pursed his lips and reminded him, "Ninth Prince, you've always been straightforward, so don't get any ulterior motives."

“Eunuch An, the Ninth Prince is just afraid that he will lose face if he says it out loud,” Chu Yueli said.

"Disgraceful?" The Emperor looked at Lu Yunfei. "Why? You went to eat noodles together, and what happened afterward?"

"Later..." Lu Yunfei still didn't dare to say it.

“Ninth Prince, you never lie. You might as well tell me what happened between us later.” Chu Yueli didn’t look at him.

Lu Yunfei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Later, he got angry and left."

"Why are you angry?"

"Arguing." I don't know, does that count as arguing?

But he didn't actually curse Chu Yueli; he was just really angry.

However, leaving in anger does indeed sound like an argument.

"Why did you argue?" Andro immediately realized what was going on after asking the question.

What else could it be? If Chu Yueli really was with Lu Fengjin last night, how could the Ninth Prince, who loves his brother dearly, not be angry?

The Ninth Prince's temper wasn't exactly bad, but he could sometimes lose his temper, get angry, and even leave, which wasn't surprising.

"After I left in anger, the witch... Fourth Princess was still at the noodle shop. Later, I was afraid she wouldn't have money to pay the bill, so I went back. She was still at the noodle shop then."

Lu Yunfei blushed, feeling that it was indeed a bit petty for a grown man to argue and quarrel with a young girl.

But I was genuinely angry at the time.

“After I went back and put down the money bag, I left. It was only an hour before dawn. I figured I might have to see my fourth sister-in-law again and we would have to argue, so I sat down on a corner of the street and let the wind blow on me.”

Therefore, he returned quite late. Otherwise, if he had known that Qi Wei was coming to take the Fourth Princess into the palace, he would have followed. How could he have let Qi Wei take the Fourth Princess away alone?

An Delu glanced at the Emperor again.

The Ninth Prince's words didn't seem to be false.

The Emperor naturally understood his son. When the Ninth Prince said this, he looked somewhat ashamed, because he felt it was petty of him to quarrel with a woman.

So, it's true?

He looked at Lu Fengjin.

Feeling his direct gaze, Lu Fengjin hurriedly said, "Last night, I met Ali... I met Fourth Princess Consort. It was an accident. I... said I had something to show Fourth Princess Consort, so I brought Fourth Princess Consort back to the Prince Jin's residence."

"Actually, I don't know why I did this, but... but..." He didn't finish his sentence.

His expression was somewhat somber.

If he had really brought Chu Yueli to his Prince Jin's residence last night, what would he have said to her?

Suddenly, my heart felt heavy.

I am unwilling.

“Father, I know I was wrong. This matter really has nothing to do with my fourth sister-in-law. I will not do it again in the future.”

The emperor listened, feeling a mix of emotions.

If the relationships between these sons and daughters-in-law are truly unclear, it will become a scandal for the royal family if it gets out.

This matter should not be publicized.

"Alright, Ninth Prince, take your Fourth Princess back to the manor." Lu Yunfei spent half his time living in the Mo Prince's manor.

He was still just a prince, not yet a king, and did not have his own royal residence.

In addition, he had always had a deep relationship with his fourth brother, and since he lived in the Mo Prince's Mansion, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

However, after what happened with Lu Fengjin and Chu Yueli, the Emperor also thought that it was time for his Ninth Prince to have his own royal residence.
