Chapter 519 His Heart is Open and Honest
As Chu Yueli was sizing up the Duke of Qin, the Duke of Qin was also staring at her, scrutinizing her closely.
He heard Consort Yu talk about Lu Beimo and Chu Yueli, and he also heard Consort Yu talk to Qin Jianye about Chu Yueli and Lu Fengjin.
The Duke of Qin didn't care about those romantic affairs, so it didn't matter who she had been in love with in the past.
Most importantly, she was unmarried and still unmarried.
Her talent was praised by both Consort Yu and Qin Jianye.
This is what the Duke of Qin values most.
"Was it your idea to wipe out the Tuoba Hu clan?" For the Duke of Qin, this was the first time he had ever met Chu Yueli.
He might have seen her before, or even met her a few times, but he couldn't possibly care about a little girl like her, and he wouldn't give her a second glance.
He had only met them a few times and had no recollection of them; to him, it was no different than never having met them at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yueli nodded and said, "It was my idea, and my elder brother led the troops."
"You mean, it's all thanks to you and your brother, and has nothing to do with Prince Jin?" Duke Qin raised an eyebrow.
Qin Jianye was also somewhat surprised. This little girl was really not polite. Was she trying to take credit?
But Chu Yueli showed no sign of guilt.
She even nodded cautiously and said, "Indeed, it has nothing to do with Prince Jin. Even the elimination of Tuoba Hu's remnants was a plan I gave them. The so-called elimination of the desert remnants with Tuoba Feiyuan is just a drama they added for themselves."
This time, even the Duke of Qin couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This girl really dares to say that.
However, her frank and open demeanor was not at all off-putting, nor did it give off an arrogant or domineering vibe.
interesting.
No wonder Mo'er is so infatuated with her, and has been obsessed with her for so many years.
"I admire your courage and strategy, and I also admire your frankness." Although the Duke of Qin said this, he remained expressionless.
Even his own son, Qin Jianye, didn't know what his father was thinking at this moment. Did he really like the girl in front of him, or was he just being sarcastic?
Chu Yueli, however, accepted the compliment quite readily: "Thank you for the compliment, Duke."
The conversation ended there, and for a moment, the study fell silent again.
Qin Jianye suddenly realized that he seemed somewhat superfluous in the room.
I don’t know what they’re planning to talk about, or what they’re plotting. Both of them seem to be deep thinkers and very calculating. Only he is observing them absentmindedly, without having any thoughts of his own.
It's really shameful.
The Duke of Qin continued to stare at Chu Yueli, who remained poised and allowed him to scrutinize her. She met his gaze calmly, showing no sign of averting her eyes.
There was no attempt to feign composure.
She was calm and composed, as if she were in her own home.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Jianye, drenched in cold sweat, suddenly spoke: "Father..."
"What brings you here?" the Duke of Qin suddenly asked.
Chu Yueli smiled faintly: "I originally wanted to use the pretext of delivering medicine to see how Prince Mo was doing."
"Are you afraid I won't harm my own grandson?" Duke Qin raised an eyebrow.
Qin Jianye immediately felt sweating profusely again. What kind of talk was this? How could a little girl like her dare to say such things?
To everyone's surprise, Chu Yueli answered the question seriously and without any hesitation: "He is honest and upright, but he may not be of the same mind as you, Duke. Therefore, I am indeed a little worried. Please forgive me, Duke."
