His sudden remark not only startled Lu Zhang, but even Zhu Yu and Yan Shu beside him fell silent, casting a somewhat surprised look at the two of them.
"Brother, you can't speak like that." Lu Zhang was taken aback. He didn't quite understand why, when earlier in Shuo Land and Lan Country, the two of them seemed to get along fairly well, Lu Qing didn't seem to harbor any resentment towards him because of his maternal grandfather.
Why does the conversation sound a bit strange this time?
Could it be related to the unpleasant way they parted after returning from Lan Country?
Or is it that even though Lu Qing has been away from the Capital for so long, he's already heard about certain things...?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhang felt a bit guilty. After a brief struggle, remembering Lu Qing's previous frankness and sincerity towards him outside, and seeing his current imprisoned and embarrassed state, he finally decided to speak the truth.
