Chapter 167 How Should We Repay?
Qin Wu hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Granny, the Prince has ordered Tuoba Feiyuan to reflect on her mistakes in her room for the past few days and has not allowed her to set foot in the Zhuiyue Pavilion."
Granny Xiu frowned: "Why make her stand facing the wall in repentance? Could those rumors be true? Did she really drive Deputy General Li to his death and cause the Prince to be seriously injured?"
Qin Wu hesitated; he dared not speak carelessly about these matters.
"I'm not entirely clear on the matter either, Granny. Why don't you go and ask the Prince yourself? I need to check on the Prince's medicine. I'll take my leave now."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he quickly left.
Fortunately, he was facing Granny Xiu instead of Consort Rui; otherwise, Qin Wu knew that it would have been absolutely impossible for him to escape smoothly.
After entering the room, Granny Xiu whispered a few words in Consort Rui's ear.
Although Lu Fengjin was injured, his hearing was still good, and he heard it clearly.
"Mother, this is all due to the soldiers' despair and wild thoughts after being trapped. The truth is not like that..."
"So, do you think the soldiers in your army are fools, or do you think the one who's foolish is your mother?"
"I don't dare!"
Consort Rui gave a cold snort. She couldn't bear to speak harshly to her seriously injured son, but her heart was filled with a heavy feeling.
"Son, you're really confused! Chu Yueli is such a capable girl, and she has a brother who listens to her in everything. Their Duke's mansion may seem to have declined, but it really has value!"
Consort Rui was so angry that she pounded her head and stamped her feet.
"Especially now that Chu Xiaohe's health is ruined, there's not much hope for him in life. In the future, he'll probably depend on whoever his sister marries. Marrying Chu Yue will be like adding wings to a tiger for you!"
She was reluctant to believe that her son's past invincibility was all thanks to Chu Yueli.
Unexpectedly, on the first time Chu Yueli was not by her son's side, her son suffered a defeat, and such a humiliating one at that, requiring Chu Yueli and her brother to come to his rescue.
Even if Consort Rui was unwilling, she had to see the facts clearly.
Without Chu Yueli, my son is truly... nothing at all!
But she only has one son!
"You...you must get rid of that wretched girl who only brings you trouble. She is not allowed to set foot in the Prince's mansion again. Once you are better, I will go with you to plead with the Duke and help us make a good match between our two families."
It goes without saying how powerful Chu Yue Li is that she, a seemingly weak woman, was able to single-handedly rescue Prince Jin's troops from a desperate situation.
Her only disadvantage was that she didn't know martial arts.
If Chu Yueli knew martial arts, wouldn't all these great generals and war gods have to step aside?
“Mother, Yuan’er has already lost her family and has nowhere to go. She has no relatives or friends in the capital. If I were to drive her out, wouldn’t that be forcing her to her death?”
"That's what she got herself!" Consort Rui said angrily.
Lu Fengjin hurriedly said, "But it was I who brought her to the capital. If I were to abandon her after bringing her here, would I still be a man?"
Originally, Lu Fengjin really disliked Tuoba Feiyuan. Her behavior in Xishan had truly broken his heart.
But after being pressured by Consort Rui, her pity for Tuoba Feiyuan immediately returned.
No matter how bad Tuoba Feiyuan is, she is still his woman. If he can't even protect his own woman, what kind of man is he?
“Mother, Yuan’er did make a mistake this time, and I have already punished her. This matter has nothing to do with Yuan’er. Please understand, Mother.”
No one knows a son better than his mother. How could Consort Rui not know what kind of person her son was?
To put it nicely, it's being sentimental; to put it bluntly, it's being indecisive.
However, what man in this world is truly devoted to one woman?
Moreover, he is destined to be emperor; how could he be so fickle?
"Fine, if you insist on protecting her, I don't want to make things difficult for her. But, Ali risked her life to save her husband from afar. How will you repay this debt of gratitude?"
