Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 476 Everything is fine, except he's a little stingy.

Lu Beimo's gaze also fell on Lu Fengjin's legs.

His calm face didn't reveal his true feelings.

It seems that whether Lu Fengjin's leg is good or bad makes no difference to him, and has no meaning whatsoever.

Chu Yueli looked at Lu Fengjin, and after a moment, she shook her head: "His leg is not healed. It's just that someone forcibly gave him medicine, which made him walk normally, but the pain he has to endure is unimaginable for ordinary people."

These words startled Zisu, who subconsciously looked at Lu Fengjin's face.

The distance was too far to see the subtle changes in her expression, but she did appear somewhat pale.

Is he really enduring the pain?

That does indeed make her somewhat pitiful.

"Miss, shall we go over and say hello?" Zisu suggested.

Chu Yueli glanced at the man beside her without thinking.

The Great Demon King gave a cold snort and turned to walk towards the seats in the Mo Wang Mansion.

Chu Yueli was both amused and exasperated. The Great Demon King was good in every way, except that he was a bit stingy.

However, that's just how he is; he holds grudges and is vengeful. Sometimes he can be a little scary, but most of the time, he's actually quite adorable.

"No, please go and entertain them, brother. I am just a weak woman who only knows how to eat and drink."

She turned around and returned to her seat in the Duke's mansion with Tuoba Liuli. As soon as she sat down, she found a tall figure suddenly sitting down next to her.

"Your Majesty..."

“I am also a member of the Duke’s mansion.” Lu Beimo snorted.

"The Duke will not be coming out today. There are eight seats here. You and your elder brother, your two aunts, Aunt Anran, and the Seventh Princess will also be invited. That's only six people."

Isn't it a waste to have six people sit in an eight-person seat?

"Besides, whatever the Seventh Princess's status, so am I. If the Seventh Princess can sit, why can't I?"

Chu Yueli let out a long sigh, really wanting to roll her eyes at him.

Okay, I'm no match for him when it comes to talking. I guess I'll just have to admit defeat.

"The aunties are here!"

Huo Qing and Miao Yucui had clearly rushed back, arriving one after the other, and met right outside the gate, both looking travel-worn.

"Ah Li, why did such a big thing happen so suddenly? We didn't even have time to come back and help." Huo Qing hurriedly patted the dust off her clothes.

"Luckily, Mo'er is here!" Huo Qing finally felt relieved to see that Lu Beimo was also there.

Miao Yucui was also anxious: "Is there anything else we can help with?"

"Aunties, hurry up and change your clothes, then come out and help entertain the guests." She was an unmarried young lady, so she could sit here with a clear conscience.

However, Miao Yucui and Huo Qing are the ladies of the Duke's mansion, and they should entertain guests; that's what a real family is like.

Upon hearing this, Miao Yucui and Huo Qing immediately returned to their courtyard, quickly washed up, changed their clothes, and came out to stand guard at the gate with Chu Xiaohe to welcome the distinguished guests.

Not long after, Ning Anran also arrived.

However, since Ning Anran was from the Earl's Mansion, Chu Yueli did not arrange for her to go out and entertain the guests. Instead, she pulled Ning Anran to sit down at the Duke's Mansion.

Ning Anran was still very uneasy: "Ali, I am not a member of the Duke's Mansion."

“In my brother’s and my hearts, Uncle Zhengnan is our family, and so is Aunt Anran. You are rightfully sitting here.”

“Ah Li…”

"Aunt Anran, please don't make things difficult for Xiao Ali. She's exhausted after a long day and could faint at any moment."

Lu Beimo smiled at Ning Anran and said, "Aunt Anran, just go along with her."
