Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"You called her... a witch?" Miao Yucui was stunned.

Huo Qing was also somewhat taken aback: "How...how does she resemble a demon?"

Lu Yunfei looked embarrassed; the food was still in his mouth and he hadn't had time to swallow it yet. His extremely handsome face instantly turned bright red.

Chu Yueli walked to his side and patted his back to help him catch his breath: "Swallow it first."

Lu Yunfei quickly and obediently swallowed the pastry and drank a full cup of honey...flower tea.

Afterwards, I immediately wanted to explain, but I didn't know how.

“I…we, the Prince’s Mansion…everyone in the Prince’s Mansion…lists to Fourth Princess. We did not bully Fourth Princess. Demon…Fourth Princess, you tell me yourself.”

They really don't have any, not even a little bit. Who would dare!

Who isn't afraid that the Fourth Princess will run away?

The fourth prince will twist their heads off one by one.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Seeing that Chu Yueli was hesitant to speak, Lu Yunfei was anxious and kept urging her, "You are the boss in the Prince's Mansion. Who dares to bully you? Tell them quickly."

"You've already called me a witch, aren't you just bullying me?" Chu Yueli rolled her eyes at him.

"I……"

"Where do I look like a demon?"

"I just..." He couldn't explain, after all, at the beginning, he really did think she was a witch.

She is the one who caused the Fourth Prince to live such a miserable life for so many years, yet the Fourth Prince has never forgotten her. She harmed someone and still made that person so obsessed with her, so deeply in love and unrepentant. What else is she but a witch?

However, as they spent more time together, although he still had many complaints about her—after all, this vixen would bully him from time to time—Lu Yunfei swore that he had no ill intentions towards her whatsoever.

"I didn't..." He was never good with words, and he was eager to explain, but he was at a loss for words, which made his face turn as red as a pig's liver.

Huo Qing suddenly chuckled and glared at Chu Yueli: "Alright, stop teasing him. Look what you've driven this kid to!"

Miao Yucui laughed and said, "We believe you. How could you possibly bully her? A cunning and treacherous person like Ali is the one who should be bullying you!"

Xiao Yunfei is honest, and he was probably bullied by A-Li quite a bit in the Prince's mansion.

Chu Yueli and Tuoba Liuli sat down at the table, and also invited Zisu and Liuyun to join them.

Chu Yueli glanced at Lu Yunfei and laughed, "Never mind, those who can be enchantresses are no ordinary people, I'll just take this as a compliment."

"I will never call you a witch again," Lu Yunfei immediately assured her.

Chu Yueli's smile deepened unconsciously: "But actually, I think the word 'demoness' sounds quite friendly."

As for what to call her, it doesn't really matter. The two are about the same age, with Lu Yunfei being half a year older than her. Calling her Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law or Sister-in-law would both feel strange.

It's better to just call them by their names.

Lu Yunfei remained silent, still feeling uneasy. However, seeing Chu Yueli and Tuoba Liuli eating, drinking, and chatting happily, and seemingly without any displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside, someone came down and reported, "Young Madam, the people from the Earl's mansion have arrived."

Have the people from the Earl's mansion arrived?

In fact, it should have been them who went to pay their respects to the elders of the Earl's Mansion, since they were elders. However, since this year was the first year since the Duke passed away, the people of the Duke's Mansion did not plan to go out to pay New Year's visits, so they did not go to the Earl's Mansion this year.

What are the people from the Earl's Mansion doing here at this time?
