Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Royal families are ruthless.

When you are useful, you will be given high-ranking official positions and generous salaries; the royal family will fawn over you and coax you.

Once you become useless, the royal family will try every means to take everything back from you and give it to someone who is useful.

To get your things back, they'll stop at nothing, even destroying everything you own.

Chu Yueli suddenly strode over and tugged at Chu Xiaohe's sleeve.

Chu Xiaohe was still thinking about how to counter Wu Dan when she pulled him and he turned around abruptly.

Seeing that her face was a little pale, Chu Xiaohe quickly comforted her, "Ali, don't panic. Your brother will definitely win this battle. Even if your brother can't win, as long as your brother has done his best, the Emperor won't blame our Duke's Mansion."

Chu Yueli looked up at him, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

His elder brother was pitiful. He was loyal to the emperor and the country, but as a military general, he didn't know how to scheme and win people's hearts. He worked hard and only wanted to bring glory to the country.

Little did he know that this Taihe Square was actually a tomb specially built for him by the emperor to ruin his reputation.

But she couldn't say anything.

My eldest brother has a patriotic heart, just like our parents.

Such an elder brother is cheerful, straightforward, and sincere, which is truly admirable.

She didn't want her eldest brother's pure heart to be hurt.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that as long as you've tried your best, it's not shameful, regardless of winning or losing."

"Yes, it's not shameful!"

Chu Xiaohe and his sister sat down together.

Although there was still a smile on her face, the worry between her brows never disappeared.

The spear would slip from his hand; ultimately, the eldest brother lacked confidence.

A military general who lacks confidence will have his performance affected by psychological pressure.

Chu Yueli frowned slightly, and her hand unconsciously fell on the spear that Chu Xiaohe had placed to the side.

Upon seeing this, Zisu immediately stepped forward: "Miss."

She shook her head at Chu Yueli.

Miss, do you still remember what you promised the Duke?

Chu Yueli pursed her thin lips, lowered her eyes, and finally released the spear.

The surroundings began to liven up.

After the officials and their families arrived, the sons and daughters of the imperial relatives and nobles also arrived one after another.

The scene was truly lively.

People from Prince Jin's residence also arrived.

Upon arriving, Lu Fengjin spotted a striking and beautiful figure in the crowd.

Whenever she is present, she can easily attract the attention of most people, especially men.

But when Lu Fengjin saw Chu Yueli today, he felt a sense of surprise and delight.

She wasn't wearing a dress today, but rather a close-fitting outfit.

Because the clothes were so well-tailored and fit her perfectly, they accentuated her exquisite curves in the sunlight.

That figure was slender yet full-figured, graceful yet resilient, innocent yet inexplicably alluring.

Even though she was poised and elegant, without a trace of seductive charm, damn it, you felt like you were instantly captivated by her, both in spirit and body.

But if you're asking if she used any seductive tricks on you, then sorry, she didn't even give you a single glance the entire time.

She can bewitch men even while sitting down!

Lu Fengjin was somewhat frustrated. How come he never knew she was such a woman before!

Who are you trying to seduce by dressing like this?

"So, you were bewitched by her using these kinds of methods before?" The girl beside him snorted, her tone icy.

That scoundrel has been staring at that woman for a long time. Doesn't he realize it himself?

Lu Fengjin didn't know how long he had been watching before he was suddenly brought back to his senses after being mocked by Tuoba Feiyuan.

Looking up, he saw that his fourth brother, who had walked behind him when they entered the palace, was already seated and even drinking tea!

He stood there, stunned, secretly furious!
