Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 220 Our Duke's Mansion

Lu Fengjin gritted his teeth in anger, Lu Ziling was stunned, and Chu Xiaohe was terrified.

Only Lu Beimo remained calm and composed, with a smile playing on his lips.

Chu Yueli finally came out.

The camps weren't very big, and even in her own tent, she could hear their conversation clearly with her sharp hearing.

Fortunately, the aunts and Zisu went to barbecue together; otherwise, they would have been scared to death by the Great Demon King's shocking words.

"Ah Li, this..." Chu Xiaohe was really at a loss to deal with the situation, so he could only hurry over to his sister and hope that she could give him some hints.

How can we break this deadlock?

Chu Yueli glanced at him, her eyes filled with helplessness.

A game with the big boss is really hard to break; this guy never plays by the rules.

"Just now, Prince Mo came to see me. I didn't know what important matter he had to discuss, so I asked him to come here first and have a couple of drinks with my elder brother. Why didn't my elder brother properly entertain the princes and nobles?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaohe immediately followed up on her words: "Big brother...aren't we just about to prepare some wine and food? We hunted quite a few wild boars today, and the aunties are roasting the wild boar meat. Why don't you go and see if it's ready, Ali? You can ask them to send some over for everyone to enjoy with their wine."

"Okay." Chu Yueli left immediately.

Seeing that both Prince Mo and Prince Jin were present, Lu Ziling realized that he wouldn't have much of a chance to speak with Chu Yueli alone tonight, so he immediately took his leave.

His visit to Chu Yueli was not merely to express his gratitude. He did not understand why Chu Yueli had recommended him to the Empress. There were some things he needed to discuss with Miss Li in person to find the answers.

After Lu Ziling left, Lu Beimo immediately let loose and looked at Chu Xiaohe with a smile, saying, "Brother, I'm hungry. Do you have any good wine? Have someone bring it over immediately."

big brother?

Lu Fengjin's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Fourth brother, be careful with your words. You are Father's son. If Father finds out that you are calling others brothers, he will surely punish you."

Chu Xiaohe panicked as well: "Prince Mo, from now on..."

"You're the only outsider here. Are you planning to complain to the Emperor?"

Lu Beimo sat down on the low stool and looked at Lu Fengjin.

His legs were too long, so the stools in this small hall weren't the large chairs in the mansion, but rather low wooden stools.

Lu Beimo sat on the top, his figure appearing somewhat too tall, giving off a condescending feeling, but he sat there very comfortably, as if he were at home.

Lu Fengjin clenched his fist even tighter.

Lu Beimo's words, "You're the only outsider," made him very unhappy.

Who are the outsiders?

"What? Fifth Prince, do you really want to go to Father Emperor and complain?"

Lu Beimo glanced at him sideways, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Heh, go ahead and complain, see if Father Emperor believes me? Anyway, I won't admit it until I marry Ali."

"What did you say?" Marry Ali? Who arranged the marriage?

Lu Beimo ignored him and only looked at Chu Xiaohe: "Brother, I'm really hungry. Where's the wine and meat?"

Chu Xiaohe almost knelt before him; this was a blatant provocation against the imperial authority. What if this escalated to the Emperor's ears?

"Why hasn't Ali arrived yet? Big brother, I'll go help her. You entertain Fifth Brother and make sure he doesn't think the people from our Duke's Mansion are impolite."

Lu Beimo stood up and indeed left.

Chu Xiaohe felt his head buzzing, almost scared to death by Mo Wang's earth-shattering words.

Our Duke's Mansion?

When did he become a member of their Duke's mansion?
