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

"In reply to mother's question, my daughter-in-law went back to the Du residence and had a misunderstanding with my sister-in-law. I can explain this because..."

"You don't have to explain. I will send someone to investigate the whole matter. You might as well explain it to Mrs. Du instead of taking the time." Li waved her hand to interrupt Du Song.

After managing the harem for such a long time, she has learned a lot, and not listening to one side only is the most important one.

In fact, she did not believe all of Fang's words. After Fang finished speaking, a nanny went to the Du Mansion to investigate the matter. Compared with the pale and powerless words of others, she believed more in the results of her own investigation.

Du Song did not give Fang a chance to speak, and said first:

"Sister-in-law, this is my aunt. You must have met her at other banquets. Aunt, this is my sister-in-law. These two are Shaoyun and Shaofeng, who I mentioned to you."

When she said this, she paused deliberately, looked at Du Shaoyun from top to bottom, and finally nodded.

After seeing Li Ru nod, Du Song breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his aunt had fallen in love with Du Shaoyun, and then went on to introduce the three siblings of the Ning family.

"These are the young masters and young ladies of the Ning Mansion."

"This must be Shaoyun, what an iconic girl, not bad, not bad."

Li Ru took the initiative to speak, took off the jade bracelet in her hand, and asked the maid beside her to give it to Du Shaoyun.

Du Shaoyun kept smiling, didn't look at the maid who was walking over, and didn't take the jade bracelet from the maid's hand.

"Shaoyun, this is a gift from your aunt. Please accept it. We are a family from now on. Don't be so formal!"

Madam Li frowned, looking down on such behavior. Fang turned to look at Li Ru unkindly, saying in a rude tone, "Madam Ji, what you said is wrong. Our Du family has no dealings with the Ji family, let alone such a deep friendship. We cannot accept this bracelet without merit."

Li Ru's smile deepened and became meaningful. On the way here, she told her that everything had been arranged for everyone in the Du Mansion, including Du Shaoyun himself, but only Fang disagreed.

Because Fang wanted to marry Du Shaoyun back to her parents' home, but Du Shaoyun herself was willing to marry into the Ji family, so Du Shaoyun would bring Fang to the Li family. Li Song also said that this was all she could do, and whether it could be accomplished in the end depended on the communication between Li Ru and Fang.

Originally, Li Ru had doubts about this statement, because logically speaking, a daughter would not agree to a marriage that her mother did not agree to. The most important thing was that her grandson had no connection with Du Shaoyun, so Du Shaoyun should not have reacted like this.

But on second thought, her grandson was so outstanding. It was normal for Du Shaoyun to admire him since she had heard of his name. Besides, she herself was a defective product who had been divorced before. If she could meet such an outstanding man as her grandson, she would of course seize the opportunity.

Especially after seeing Fang's reaction now, she completely believed Du Song's words and said with a smile:

"Mrs. Du, please don't be so sure. Everything is possible. Maybe in the future our two families can even become in-laws."

"Madam Ji! Since you are a lady from a big family and the head lady of the Ji Mansion, you should be familiar with etiquette. Your words today overstepped the boundaries. My daughter has not discussed marriage with anyone from your family, and the Du and Ji Mansions will not marry their children. Please don't talk nonsense. It would be bad if you were impeached by the censor because of your words."

Faced with Fang's naked threat, Li Ru's expression turned cold, but what she liked most was to hurt people with a smile. In the blink of an eye, she was smiling again, but this smile looked so fake!

"Shaoyun, what do you mean? You know, a smart girl knows how to seize a good opportunity. You know, once you lose an opportunity, it will never come back."

Du Shaoyun looked at Madam Ji seriously, with a distant look on his face, "What do you mean?"

Li Ru observed the reactions of the mother and daughter, and looked at Du Song suspiciously. Why did she feel that Du Shaoyun, like Fang, disagreed with this marriage?

"No one present here today is an outsider. So let me be frank. Song'er has told me that Shaoyun agrees to this marriage. If you agree, I will ask a matchmaker to come to your house tomorrow to propose marriage."

Ning Yuanyi was a little anxious and wanted to speak, but Ning Yuanzhi held him down and told him to calm down.

Du Song's eyes widened slightly and he looked at Li Ru in surprise. How could she have betrayed her!

She said this to deceive Li Ru, thinking that when Li Ru met Fang and Du Shaoyun and found out that Du Shaoyun was unwilling to accept the bride, she could argue that Du Shaoyun was finally persuaded by Fang.

In this way, even if things didn't get done, it wouldn't be her fault, but she never expected Li Ru to say it so directly!

We are all from Beijing. Is it really okay for you to be so blunt?

"Du Song! What on earth do you want to do?" Fang exploded. In front of Du Song's puzzled and shocked eyes, she slapped her to the ground!

After she fell to the ground, Fang sat directly on Du Song's chest and slapped her left and right madly. After slapping her more than ten times and confirming that Du Song was unconscious, she stood up breathlessly.

Except for Ning Zhiyi, Du Shaoyun and Du Shaofeng, the three people who had seen Fang beat Xia Wanqing and her daughter, everyone else had a stunned expression.

Mrs. Lu covered her lips and turned her head away with an expression as if she wanted to see but didn't dare to. Mrs. Li's expression was still indifferent, like an outsider. The smile on Li Ru's face disappeared and her eyes became sharp.

After Fang stood up, she did not speak in a hurry, but slowly let the maid tidy up her clothes. She wanted to do the same when she was at the Du Mansion, but reason stopped her.

But now, reason has retreated, and the dopamine and adrenaline in the body are in control, so just fight and it's over!

She was so angry at Du Song's shamelessness that she felt heartbroken. After slapping him more than a dozen times, she felt much better.

Looking at Li Ru, "Madam Ji, I don't know what Du Song said to you, but I can tell you here in front of everyone that we in the Du family have never agreed to the marriage proposal from the beginning to the end!"

"If you unilaterally spread any news that is unfavorable to my daughter, don't blame me for complaining to the Queen Mother. No one will have an easy time. We in the Du family will not let others manipulate us!"

"Bang!" Li Ru slammed the table hard, her eyes wide open. "Well, are you guys from the Du Mansion teaming up to play a trick on me? Du Song told me that your daughter agreed to this marriage, and now you're telling me that none of you agree. Isn't this going back on your word?"

"Everyone, please give us your opinion on this matter. Is this the truth?"

Since Li Ru asked everyone to judge, Ning Yuanyi was not polite, "Why should I judge? Just go find whoever told you these things. You believe whatever they say. Are you a fool? You have no judgment at all."

Ning Yuanyi is a man of few words. He is used to being with a group of rough guys, so he will say whatever he wants.

"Yes, since Du Song told you all this, then you should go find him and ask her to be your granddaughter-in-law. It's not okay to just listen to one side of the story." Ning Zhiyi said dimly.

Li Ru thought about it for a moment and thought that it was possible that Du Song was lying to her, so she picked up the teapot at hand and poured a pot of water directly on Du Song's face.
