Everyone looked at Miss Du Er. Her lips were trembling and her face was pale.

This reaction... could it be true?

The atmosphere was stagnant, completely silent, and extremely strange.

Zhao Yidan sneered repeatedly, looking like a villain. "Sister-in-law, am I right? If not, how could you, the second Miss Du, be willing to marry into our Zhao family? Right?"

Miss Du bit her lips and her face turned even paler. Mu Wanqing saw it and frowned slightly.

The first person to jump out was Zhao's mother, "You are talking nonsense."

Zhao Yidan smiled maliciously, "Mother, why are you still trying to hide it? I overheard your conversation with your eldest brother, and you even said with disdain that if it weren't for the Du family's generous dowry, you wouldn't want to marry a fallen woman. I don't even know whose son Zhao Du is..."

The more he spoke, the more outrageous the words became, and everyone's expressions became extremely complicated.

Mu Wanqing spoke up immediately, "Zhao Yidan, I just beat you up, and you ruined my day by doing this. You're going too far."

Whether it is true or false, it must be false.

"What's even more outrageous is that now that you have lost your good reputation, you are dragging innocent people down with you. How can your sister-in-law be innocent? Why are you slandering her like this?"

She just didn't understand. If she had any brains, she should have clung to Miss Du's thighs and tried to please her.

With the support of Miss Du, it is still possible for her to marry into a well-off family. Her husband's family will treat her well and her life will not be bad.

So what if she was beaten? With time, the matter will fade away and will be over. It won’t prevent her from getting married.

"At the beginning, your elder brother was selfish and refused to help you take the beating. You hated your elder brother so much, but every wrong has its perpetrator. You should seek revenge on your elder brother. Why do you bully the elderly, the young, women and the children?" Mu Wanqing would not allow anything to happen in such an occasion. What's more, Miss Du was now the deputy principal of the Mu Kindergarten.

For both public and private reasons, and for both moral and legal reasons, she must protect the reputation of Miss Du II.

Just think about it, if Miss Du becomes famous, the children in the kindergarten will be pointed at.

"Just because they are powerless? Because they are soft-hearted and easy to be bullied? Women are weak, but they are strong as mothers."

When she said the last sentence, she glanced at Miss Du Er, who shuddered all over and pulled herself together as if she had just woken up from a dream.

That’s right, she has to be brave and strong for her children.

Zhao Yidan's mentality is extremely extreme. She feels that everyone has betrayed her.

Even her closest relatives ignored her at the critical moment and left her to suffer alone.

If she doesn't have a good life, no one else can have an easy life!

"What I said is true. My mother and eldest brother said it themselves. They secretly dislike her..."

Miss Du finally reacted, stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Enough, you Zhao family are so bold, you actually dare to bully our Du family. My daughter is so precious, she is always accompanied by servants and guards, unlike some small families. My second sister has liked scholars since she was a child. If Zhao Yifan was not fair-skinned, good at reading, and coaxed my sister with sweet words..."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, her face red with anger, "I've said it before, pretty boys are unreliable, poor families can't marry them, they have no background, no upbringing, and are too utilitarian."

She was a strong person, and now she was even more furious. "My sister married into the Zhao family with a large dowry, and she cared about her husband and her family wholeheartedly. Who in the city doesn't know that my sister is a good wife and daughter-in-law who follows the three obediences and four virtues? Well, she has raised your hearts by praising and respecting you so much, and you want to bully her, right?"

She glared at Zhao Yidan fiercely, then glared at Zhao's mother. What the hell is this?

"You're dreaming. She is weak and can be bullied, but our Du family is not easy to mess with. Anyone who dares to make trouble for our Du family and wants to discredit our Du family will seek his own death."

She directly denied everything and even brought up the Du family's name, saying that she would be ready to fight anyone who wanted to die.

Compared to the Zhao family's terrible reputation, Miss Du is the perfect daughter-in-law, so everyone naturally prefers the latter.

Zhao Yidan was flustered by her scolding, "I didn't lie, you can ask her in person, sister-in-law, do you dare to tell the truth?"

Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched, what an idiot.

"I treat you like my own sister. I provide you with everything you wear, use, eat and drink. You didn't even have decent clothes in the beginning, but now you have silk and satin, fine clothes and delicious food. I think I have done you justice, but what about you? You take all this for granted and even blame me for not letting you marry into the Du family successfully..."

Everyone gasped, well, that's a really bold idea.

Who among the wealthy families doesn't want to marry their daughter into the Du family? They have power and money, but what does the Zhao family have? They got their start by marrying Miss Du, and everything was given by the Zhao family.

Besides, why would a decent family marry twice? Only those who are too poor to marry would exchange wives.

As expected, he was born in a humble family and still thinks like a poor person.

Since Miss Du didn't help her, she ruined her sister-in-law's reputation. This mentality is too terrible. Who dares to marry her?

Second Miss Du's eyes were red. "Don't you think about it? How can a family like ours exchange marriages? Would anyone listen if you told others about it? Do you still want to save the reputation of our Du family? You are dissatisfied and find fault with me for this, but I have endured it because I don't want to embarrass my husband."

"But now, I can't stand it anymore. Du'er is my life!"

She looked at Zhao's mother fiercely, "Mother-in-law, tell me, whose child is Du'er?"

Zhao Yidan said anxiously, "Mom, I heard everything you said."

Mother Zhao looked at this, then looked at that, her eyes full of struggle.

It is already difficult for my daughter to get married, and if she is found guilty of slandering her sister-in-law, her life will be over.

"Daughter-in-law, this is just a small matter, why get angry? Yidan has suffered a great injustice and is upset. As her sister-in-law, you should be more tolerant."

"Tolerance?" Miss Du Er was unusually aggressive. "In your hearts, Du'er's reputation is not important? Have you ever thought about how much harm this would cause to the child? How much trouble would it cause to his future? Good, great."

She pointed at a servant and said, "Go to the front yard and call Zhao Yifan."

The servant immediately turned around and left.

Mother Zhao was unhappy, and she frowned and scolded, "Daughter-in-law, you are not sensible. A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Big things can be turned into small things, and small things can be turned into nothing. That's enough, let's end this matter here."

She is the elder and the mother-in-law, and naturally suppresses her daughter-in-law.

An annoyed voice said, "I disagree."

It was Mrs. Du. She finally spoke, and her face looked very bad.

Zhao's mother secretly blamed the Du family for being too powerful. Everyone wanted to suppress the Zhao family. How hateful.

"Mrs. Du, why are you meddling in this? It's normal for children to quarrel, and we, as elders, shouldn't add fuel to the fire..."

Mu Wanqing was amused. "Pfft, when you encounter a problem, instead of thinking about solving it, you just cover it up and suppress it. Sooner or later, it will be over."

"If you ask me, Miss Du, why bother getting entangled with such a confused person? It's better to end it early, just for the sake of the child. If such words are said, the child will suffer a great injustice."

She had long seen that Miss Du's feelings for Zhao Yifan were limited, so rather than being so disgusted, it would be better to get out of it as soon as possible.

Anyway, now that I have a child, I might as well focus on my career. As for men, if the old one doesn’t go, the new one won’t come, so just replace it.

What is there to be afraid of if you have power?

Zhao's mother was furious, her eyes bloodshot, "What does it have to do with you? You are always the troublemaker..."

If she hadn't schemed to get her daughter beaten, her daughter wouldn't have harbored resentment, and this wouldn't have happened.

"How dare you." An angry voice rang out, "Pa pa."

Zhao's mother was slapped twice unexpectedly. Her face was swollen. She felt ashamed and angry. "How dare you hit me?"

The nanny looked dignified, "I am the etiquette nanny personally appointed by the Queen to the county lady. Anyone who dares to disrespect the county lady personally appointed by the court will be slapped twice at the least, and beating her to death is also appropriate."

After these words were spoken, Zhao's mother dared not even fart, and her mind, which had been blinded by anger, finally sobered up completely.

Mu Wanqing is not someone she can afford to offend.

Zhao Yifan came in a hurry, and he was accompanied by Jiang Tongzhi. The two of them didn't know what had happened.

As soon as Zhao Yifan came in, his mother grabbed his arm and started complaining to him, saying that her daughter-in-law didn't respect her, that she was beaten badly, that she had lost all her face and wished she wanted to die.

Crying and making a fuss, one person can perform the whole play.

Everyone watched with great interest and felt even more sympathetic towards Miss Du. This family is really not a good one.

Zhao Yifan was completely confused and could only come to one conclusion: his wife helped outsiders bully his mother.

He was a filial son, and he immediately got angry, "How could you do this..."

"Let's get a divorce." Before he could finish, Miss Du spoke up, unable to suppress her thoughts any longer.

Zhao Yifan was shocked, "What?" What was she talking about?

Second Miss Du tried hard to suppress her dizziness, looking disheartened, "I can't live like this anymore. Your mother is ignorant and only knows how to make trouble. Your sister is ambitious and has ulterior motives. She can do anything for her own selfish reasons. I am tired and scared."

Zhao Yifan was at a loss. Although he always complained about the unfairness of God, his lack of recognition of his talent, and the bad treatment of the Du family, he knew very well in his heart that without the Du family, he would be nothing.

He is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart and has an acceptable IQ, but his family education is a bit problematic.

"Madam, please talk nicely. How can you easily say something like divorce?"

Miss Du Er bit her lips and her expression was extremely depressed. "Is Du Er your own flesh and blood?"

Zhao Yifan nodded without hesitation, "Of course, what are you talking about?"

His tone was still somewhat unhappy. Everyone saw it and suddenly realized that it seemed that Zhao Yidan really was making it up.

It is really disgusting to have such a sister-in-law. This is going to ruin everyone. I deeply sympathize with Miss Du.

Some words can cause harm once they are spoken, and with the mother-in-law being this kind of person, it's no wonder that the gentle and virtuous Miss Du would have the idea of divorce.

She can't be blamed for being ruthless, but the Zhao family has gone too far and forced her to this point.

Miss Du Er took a deep breath and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Then, for Du Er's future, let's get divorced. I can be wronged, but I can't let the child suffer any grievances."

Seeing that she was serious, Zhao Yifan couldn't help but jump up and down anxiously, "No, I don't understand..."

He was fine just now, why did he suddenly want to divorce? What stupid thing did his mother and sister do?

Miss Du Er ignored him and walked up to Madam Du and bowed. "Mother, please give me your permission."

Mrs. Du was in a state of confusion. She was worried about her daughter's ill-fated life. "This... this... you have to ask your father first."

She was also very annoyed with the Du family, but for the sake of her daughter and grandson, she tried her best to endure it. The child was still young, and she couldn't let the child be without a complete family.

A clear voice sounded, "I agree."

It was Du Shaoxuan. Mu Wanqing had given him an invitation before, and he said he would definitely come, but he was late due to something urgent.

I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing as soon as I entered the mansion.

"Second sister, you finally came to your senses. The Zhao family is a hotbed. You should have left long ago. On behalf of the Du family, I agree to the divorce."

Before, they were afraid of damaging the jade bottle when killing the mouse, so they could only let the Zhao family jump around. But once they divorced, they were completely clear of all ties. From now on... the Du family would not have to do anything personally, the people below would naturally take care of everything.

Without the Du family, the Zhao family is nothing.

Zhao Yifan was almost mad. "Aze, I always persuade people to reconcile, not to separate. How could you persuade them to separate? Over the years, your second sister and I have always loved each other and never quarreled. We have a good relationship. Besides, the child needs a father."

Miss Du Er insisted, "Father? Your sister said that Du Er is a bastard. I don't know if she has ever mentioned this to the child. My heart aches when I think of this."

Zhao Yifan's face turned pale when he heard that. "What? Zhao Yidan, are you crazy? If you want to take revenge on me, just come after me. Why do you have to take revenge on my wife and children? Du'er is your nephew."

He originally felt somewhat apologetic towards his sister, but as Zhao Yidan kept making trouble, the brotherly and sisterly feelings wore away.

Zhao Yidan's eyes flickered. "What did you and your mother say beside the rockery on the Mid-Autumn Festival? I was inside the rockery at the time."

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhao Yifan's eyes changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, with a look of confusion, "I am watching the moon with your sister-in-law and the children. Are you suffering from hypochondria? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well? County Princess, I heard that you have an imperial physician in your house, please ask the doctor to diagnose her and treat her illness."

Good man, he gave his own sister a hypochondriac massage right from the start, without caring about the consequences.

Miss Du saw this and felt no relief, only a chill running through her bones.

When they first met, he seemed to be a gentleman with a bright and open mind. But the longer they spent together, the more she discovered that he was cold and heartless. If he was like this to his own sister, how could he be kind to the people around him? She became more and more determined to divorce him.

But, can Zhao Yifan make her wish come true? She is the foundation of the Zhao family! The source of the Zhao family's prosperity and wealth!
