Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 520 The Three Brothers of the Lu Family

These words made Qin Jianye, who had finally calmed down a bit, feel his heart leap into his throat again as they started talking again.

This girl is really bold! By speaking like this, she has clearly revealed half of the Duke of Qin's intention to rebel.

She's really not afraid that she won't be able to leave the Duke of Qin's mansion!

She's just a little girl, only sixteen or seventeen years old, where did she get the guts!

The Duke of Qin was also watching her.

It's impossible not to be angry that such a young girl dared to speak to him like that.

Mo Wang is his grandson. Over the years, the Qin family has wholeheartedly assisted Mo Wang. Even their own children and grandchildren voluntarily gave up their right to inherit the throne, and only wanted to support Lu Bei Mo to become emperor.

But now, a mere maidservant from outside has come to tell him that the King of Ink and he might not be of one mind. How can he not be angry?

However, he felt a sense of helplessness and frustration, even though he wanted to be angry, because he knew that what the little girl said was true.

"So, you wanted to persuade him?" The Duke of Qin's eyes held a complex expression that sent a chill down one's spine.

Qin Jianye quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, Ali is still young and doesn't understand the complexities of the court. There's no need to drag her into these matters."

"She is indeed still young, but I don't think she is necessarily ignorant. On the contrary, she may know as much as you, her elder," the Duke of Qin sneered.

Qin Jianye felt a burning sensation on his face and immediately dared not speak, only glancing at Chu Yueli secretly.

Chu Yueli met the gaze of the Duke of Qin, her expression remaining calm: "This matter concerns the Qin family and Prince Mo; I am but a mere..."

"Now that you're here, this matter concerns you." Duke Qin gave her no chance to refuse, his face grim: "Moreover, if you truly want to be with Mo'er, you must face this matter."

Chu Yueli didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

"Since you were a strategist before, you must have heard about the three Lu brothers," the Duke of Qin said again.

“I’ve heard my grandfather and maternal grandfather say that back then, the Qin family ruled the world, and the three Lu brothers were renowned and powerful, their influence shaking the entire Lingzhou continent. At that time, Xiling, Nanling, and Beiling were in chaos, but Dongling was a paradise, and no country, large or small, in the entire Lingzhou continent dared to touch it.”

"But back then, the Qin family's former emperor, Emperor Qin Jian..." Chu Yueli stopped there, looking at the Duke of Qin, and did not continue.

The Duke of Qin's face was extremely ugly, and his mood was also very complicated.

But in the end, he still nodded: "Continue."

"Emperor Qin Jian of that time was extravagant and cruel. The desire to rebel against him was overwhelming in the court and the people outside were filled with resentment. The entire Dongling and the whole country hated this tyrant."

"Emperor Qin Jian's crimes are too numerous to count. Even the Duke's father was involved in the plot to rebel... Duke, I'm being harsh, but you made me say it."

"Speak," the Duke of Qin sighed, a throbbing pain returning to his temples.

Now that things have come to this point, what else is there that can't be said?

Moreover, just because someone doesn't say it doesn't mean they don't think that way. The Duke of Qin had already accepted this fact when he was very young.

Chu Yueli pursed her lips. Seeing that his expression was not good, but not angry or upset, she continued, "Back then, the Duke's father was also involved in the rebellion. So, when Lu Wenwang ascended the throne, everyone in your Qin family supported it. The Lu royal family did nothing wrong."
