Dynamic equilibrium and lechaliter principle
If forward reaction is endothermic then increase in temp will shift it in exothermic direction ??

In your example, forward direction endothermic, backward direction exothermic.

When the temperature is increased, both the rates of the forward (endo) and backward (exo) directions will increase.

But the forward direction (endo) will increase to a larger extent than the backward (exo) direction, so the overall shift is towards the endothermic direction
