Lu Heyan hadn't expected his brother to say such a thing. He had a moment of internal struggle, his brow furrowed deeply as he looked at Lu Hechen, doubting whether his brother would really be merciful to his mother.
Actually, Lu Heyan knew this was not an ordinary matter.
It was a life-or-death struggle.
Previously, when their mother wanted his brother's life, he hadn't been unaware. At that time, he always stayed out of it, which was a bit selfish.
But now, in victory or defeat, he understands this principle.
Looking at his older brother, Lu Heyan felt a surge of mixed emotions.
His brother had given him such an opportunity, already fulfilling a sense of duty.
Lu Hechen looked towards Lu Heyan; she hadn't forgotten her past promise, her promise to Old Qin, to protect Heyan. As long as Heyan wasn't excessive, Lu Hechen naturally wouldn't be excessive towards him.
