Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 719 Let's call off this marriage.

"How dare you humiliate my royal woman like this? Do you still care about the Lu family?" Lu Fengjin's face was ashen and cold, dark clouds gathering.

Qin Mingyue was speechless. She thought he would stand up for her, but unexpectedly, she stepped on a landmine in front of him!

She quickly explained, "I'm just afraid she'll try to bewitch the prince. You should know, this woman..."

"You mean, there's an affair between me and my fourth sister-in-law?" Lu Fengjin's palm tightened.

Not only Qin Mingyue, but also the few people standing some distance away from him, as well as the guards at the door, could clearly hear the cracking sound of the prince's knuckles as he clenched his fist.

Your Highness is truly angry.

"I..." Qin Mingyue took two steps back, still not understanding what she had done wrong.

Didn't he hate Chu Yueli to death last night? Could it be that, just one night later, he's already thinking about Chu Yueli's good points again?

"Does the princess have nothing more to say?" Lu Fengjin's face darkened again.

Qin Mingyue was furious and frustrated: "What exactly does Your Highness want me to say?"

"Disrespecting the Fourth Princess Consort is disrespecting the royal family! Doesn't the Princess need to apologize?"

"I am also a royal daughter-in-law!" What royal? They keep saying that only Chu Yueli is their own royal, what about her?

She married him, so does that mean she's no longer a member of the royal family?

Why is he only protecting Chu Yueli and targeting her at every turn?

“If the princess does not apologize, then let Father Emperor preside over this matter.” Lu Fengjin waved his hand. “Prepare the carriage and we will enter the palace!”

"Your Highness!" Qin Wu panicked a little. "Your Highness, it's just a small matter... there's no need to make a scene in the palace, is there?"

Chu Yueli opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but after hesitating for a long time, she chose to keep her mouth shut.

Let them handle their own affairs.

She came on official business, but if this matter were to escalate to the palace, she would have no way to explain herself.

"Alright!" Qin Mingyue thought about it and was no longer afraid! "She said she came to see the prince on official business. I'd like to see what kind of official business she's talking about."

Qin Mingyue knew about Chu Yueli and Lu Fengjin's past affair. She knew that Chu Yueli dared to investigate the manufacturing workshop in private. She knew that Chu Yueli's visit here today was also to persuade Lu Fengjin to move the weapons away.

But the Emperor had already made his stance clear: he would absolutely not allow Chu Yueli to touch the manufacturing workshop. So let the Emperor see for himself who is right and who is wrong in this matter.

"Fifth brother, you and Princess Jin had a disagreement. Such a trivial matter should not have been brought to Father's attention."

Chu Yueli rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Father knows that there is indeed some past between you and me. After this commotion, he may think that you and I are still... connected. I am upright and have a clear conscience. I am afraid that if things get out of hand, it will damage the reputation of the royal family. No one wants that."

"What reputation do we have left? I never wanted to marry this shrew. Since I'm going to see my father today, I'll make things clear to him. Some things are over, and some people are no longer of value. Let's call off this marriage!"

"What did you say?" Qin Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she stumbled, almost falling over.

She didn't really like Lu Fengjin that much, but to be used and then have to break off the engagement when he was no longer of any use to her was a great humiliation to her!

How could she bear it?
