I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Ning Yuanyi frowned and looked at Ning Yuanzhi in confusion.

"Why wouldn't Big Brother agree? I have a crush on someone, Big Brother would be so happy that he would definitely agree. Yuan Zhi, how could you be prejudiced against her? It's not her idea that something bad would happen. You are still Du Shaofeng's good brother. If Du Shaofeng knew what you were thinking, do you think he would still recognize you as his good brother?"

"Brother? Good brother?"

Ning Yuanzhi sat on the ground with dull eyes, muttering to himself.

Ning Zhiyi was also stunned. What was going on now?

Originally she told her fourth brother about her third brother as a joke, she never thought it would be true!

How will this end? Big brother’s little heart should be able to handle it, right?

Ning Yuanyi wanted to continue to persuade Ning Yuanzhi not to be prejudiced against Du Shaoyun, as she was also a victim in the breakup of her engagement with Duan Muyang.

But he was thinking that he didn't know what Du Shaoyun was thinking. The fact that he liked Du Shaoyun was a secret in his heart and he didn't want to reveal it.

Firstly, he felt that she had just broken off the engagement and might still be sad about what happened before. Secondly, he felt that revealing such things too early would be bad for Du Shaoyun's reputation, so he wanted to wait a while before asking the matchmaker to come to tell her family.

He never expected that Ning Yuanzhi and Ning Zhiyi's eyes were so sharp that they immediately discovered the secret in his heart.

Just like that, the three of us talked about our own things. I thought you understood what I meant, and you thought I understood what you meant. We discussed this for a long time without making any sense.

The misunderstanding was thus formed.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Du Mansion. Ning Yuanyi carefully adjusted his clothes in the carriage and only got off the carriage after making sure that there was no problem with his appearance.

Ning Yuanzhi still looked as if he had died, but Ning Zhiyi was relatively calm. In her opinion, as long as her brothers liked it, the gender issue didn't have to be so strict.

But the prerequisite is that the other person is also willing, and the two must be in love with each other. If Du Shaofeng disagrees, she will definitely not help Ning Yuanyi!

After the three of them entered the Du Mansion, they did not continue discussing this topic. Instead, they followed the servant's instructions and walked into the mansion. Laicai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and kept pacing around.

Ning Zhiyi called out, "Laicai, what are you doing?"

"Miss Ning?" Lai Cai looked overjoyed and rushed over crawling.

Ning Zhiyi took a few steps back. Oh my god, the two steps he took were like the same pace that zombies ran in the early stages of mutation. It was a bit scary.

"Where are Sister Du and your son?"

Lai Cai was worried, "Miss Ning, you don't know, my aunt is back, and she brought along the elder women in the clan, and now she's forcing my young lady to get married!"

Ning Yuanyi's indifferent expression changed, and his whole aura changed as well.

Different from Ning Yuanze who is both civil and martial, he chose the path of a military officer and is now serving in the Gyeonggi Camp. He has a quick mind, can intimidate his soldiers, and handles things with propriety, which makes him more valued by his superiors!

"Aunt? Isn't she married? Why is she interfering in the affairs of the Du Mansion? She even brought other female elders from the clan with her. It's obvious that they have bad intentions."

"Miss Ning, you are right. The most important thing is that they choose to come when the master is not at home. The master is out for work and we don't know when he will be back!"

Lai Cai was frowning. He was guarding outside and heard the roar of his young master. However, his aunt and others used either etiquette or rules to pressure them. The young master's force seemed to be hitting cotton. He was very angry but could not hurt the enemy.

Ning Yuanzhi was good friends with Du Shaofeng and knew some of the inside story of the Du Mansion. He explained:

"This young lady and Mr. Du are born of the same mother. She is Mr. Du's sister. Their mother was Mr. Du's favorite concubine. Over the years, the siblings have taken advantage of the old man's indulgence and done a lot of disgusting things."

"I heard from Du Shaofeng that this aunt's father-in-law might be promoted. After his promotion, his official position will be higher than Uncle Du's. So he was worried that this aunt would come back to the mansion to cause trouble. I didn't expect it to happen so soon!"

After hearing that this lady was Mr. Du's sister, Ning Zhiyi knew that this lady must not be a good person. At the very least, it was certain that this lady must be from the enemy camp.

It has been a long time since Mr. Du fell into the dry toilet and ate "good things". I wonder if this sister came to seek revenge for her brother.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Ning Yuanyi took the first step, but was stopped by Ning Yuanzhi. He pulled him to another corner and told him earnestly:

"Third brother, please don't be impulsive. I know you are very angry now, but you have to stay calm and don't lose your manners in front of Aunt Du. Let Zhiyi and I take care of your affairs and test his feelings for you. You must control your temper today!"

Ning Yuanyi was not stupid. He understood that his mother-in-law's opinion was very important in the process of negotiating marriage. He nodded and said:

"Okay, I won't be impulsive."

Ning Yuanzhi patted his chest and said, "That's good. You watch me and Zhiyi talk later, and you just sit aside and act as a mascot."

After confirming that Ning Yuanyi nodded, Ning Yuanzhi felt at ease to take him there.

After the servant reported, the three siblings walked into the hall together. The atmosphere in the hall was not good, and there was a sense of tension between the two sides.

Du Shaofeng was very happy to see Ning Zhiyi coming. Du Shaoyun stood up to greet Ning Zhiyi. The ugly expression on Fang's face disappeared and was replaced by a warm smile.

Du Song looked at Ning Zhiyi coldly with an unfriendly look in his eyes, and whispered to the elderly woman beside him:

"Aunt, you see, Fang is much closer to outsiders than to us."

The older lady, Mrs. Ding, had an old look on her face. She was the wife of Mr. Du’s eldest brother. When she was young, she didn’t get along with all the sisters-in-law. Her favorite thing to do was to bully her younger brothers’ wives.

However, Du Ting's mother was smart and could always avoid her plans. It was precisely because she could not bully Du Ting's mother or take advantage of her that she began to hate Du Ting's mother over time and also disliked Du Ting.

The grudge has been accumulating for a long time, and now that Du Cheng is not at home, it is easy to take control of Fang.

Ding looked at Mr. Du at the top of the table and said sarcastically:

"Hey, who are these people? They are young but they are so arrogant. It is not worthy for you, your niece-in-law, to personally greet them. After all, I am an old man and not well-received. I don't even enjoy this treatment."

Mr. Du at the top's seat had a changed expression and frowned in displeasure, but at least he didn't lose his temper out of consideration for the presence of outsiders.

Fang knew that the aunt and Du Song came here today just to cause trouble, so she refused to confront them head-on. No matter what they said, Fang just responded indifferently.

I won't express my opinion nor refute it. If you want to waste your breath talking, then go ahead.

"It seems that Auntie is really old and her eyesight is blurry. These are the young masters and young ladies of General Ning's mansion. I remember Auntie only saw them last year. How come she can't recognize them so quickly?"

Fang could tolerate the two of them bullying her, but she could not tolerate them saying that Ning Zhiyi and her brothers, as a few children, had no right to be wronged when they came to the house to play.

"Hmph, I was wondering who it was. It's not your aunt who is talking to you. How could you let Yun'er play with such an unruly girl? As the saying goes, a red flower will turn red when it is close to a red flower, and a black flower will turn black when it is close to a black flower. Yun'er has become so undisciplined now because of her!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, you are such a grown-up girl, but you don't even know to say hello to us when you come home. You are so ignorant!" Du Song echoed a few words, using Ning Zhiyi to belittle Du Shaoyun.

Ning Yuanyi and Ning Yuanzhi's faces turned cold. They put the teacups heavily on the table and looked at the two of them unkindly.

Du Song turned her face away guiltily. She was the elder, and these two people dared to smash the cup. They didn't know the rules!

But in the end, I didn’t dare say anything more.
