Duanmu Yuwei bit her lip and nodded slightly, trying to calm herself down. She looked at Sheng Yunrong and forced a smile: "Miss Sheng, you heard what mother said just now. Please forgive us for the marriage between Duanmu Mansion and Situ Family."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, but there was a subtle scrutiny in her eyes: "Second Miss Duanmu, you are too serious. I am just an envoy. How dare I interfere in your family affairs. However, the marriage between Master Situ and the Second Miss is indeed curious."

Duanmu Yuwei's expression froze slightly. She knew that Sheng Yunrong's words were not groundless. She sighed softly and said, "Miss Sheng, to be honest, my marriage with Mr. Situ was not what I wanted. But mother is right. Our family background in the Duanmu Mansion is really far behind that of the Situ family."

A trace of sympathy flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes, and she said softly: "Second Miss, I understand your difficulties. But feelings are something that cannot be forced. If Master Situ is really worthy of your trust, then it's fine. If not..."

Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with gratitude. Sheng Yunrong was thinking about her. She smiled and said, "Miss Sheng, I know your good intentions. But in this world, marriage is often not just a personal choice. I understand that I must make some sacrifices for the reputation of the Duanmu Mansion and the interests of the family."

Duanmu Yuwei looked Sheng Yunrong up and down, her eyes revealing a subtle sharpness. She smiled slightly, with a proud arc at the corner of her lips, breaking the silence in the room.

"Miss Sheng, I wonder why you are visiting me today?" Duanmu Yuwei's voice was soft, but carried unquestionable majesty.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flickered slightly, she lifted her skirt slightly and sat down gracefully. There was a barely perceptible cunning in her eyes, and a gentle smile hung at the corner of her mouth.

"Second Miss Duanmu, I heard that you have been studying calligraphy and painting recently, so I came here to ask for your advice." Sheng Yunrong's voice was like a spring breeze, gentle and humble.

Duanmu Yuwei smiled slightly, and the sharpness in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of appreciation. She nodded slightly, signaling Sheng Yunrong to continue.

"Miss Sheng, thank you for the compliment. I'm just doing this to pass the time in my spare time. Since you're interested, let's talk." Duanmu Yuwei picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it gently, and then handed it to Sheng Yunrong.

Sheng Yunrong took the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. She looked at Duanmu Yuwei, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

"Second Miss Duanmu, do you know that calligraphy and painting require not only skills but also a state of mind? I heard that you are quite accomplished in calligraphy, could you please teach me?" Sheng Yunrong's eyes were full of anticipation.

Duanmu Yuwei smiled gently, and a flash of arrogance appeared in her eyes.

"State of mind? Miss Sheng is right. The art of calligraphy does require a state of mind. But I believe that the state of mind is not static, but changes with people's growth and experience. Just like me, Duanmu Yuwei, although I was born in the Duanmu Mansion, what I pursue is not just limited to calligraphy and painting." Duanmu Yuwei's voice was low, but full of power.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes changed slightly. She didn't expect Duanmu Yuwei to express her opinion so bluntly. She smiled lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Second Miss Duanmu is indeed very insightful. What do you think is the connection between state of mind and calligraphy and painting?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was gentle, as if guiding Duanmu Yuwei to continue.

Duanmu Yuwei smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in her eyes.

"In my opinion, state of mind and calligraphy and painting complement each other. State of mind determines a person's calligraphy and painting style, and calligraphy and painting can in turn affect a person's state of mind. Just like me, Duanmu Yuwei, my calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and my paintings are bold and unrestrained, which is exactly the unruly and tenacious nature deep in my heart." Duanmu Yuwei's voice gradually rose, and the determination in her eyes moved Sheng Yunrong.

"Miss Duanmu, I have benefited a lot from your insights. I came to visit you today, not only to ask about calligraphy and painting, but also to entrust you with a favor." A hint of determination flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes.

Duanmu Yuwei smiled slightly, she knew that Sheng Yunrong had finally revealed the real purpose of this trip.

"Miss Sheng, please speak."

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath, and the determination in her eyes became more obvious.

"Second Miss Duanmu, I heard that you have a feud with Sheng Hongye, the third son of the Sheng family. I came here this time to ask you to let go of the past grudges and reconcile with the Sheng family." Sheng Yunrong's voice was firm, as if she was putting an end to the feud between Duanmu Yuwei and the Sheng family.

Duanmu Yuwei's eyes changed slightly. She didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to make such a direct request. She looked at Sheng Yunrong with a complex emotion in her eyes.

"Miss Sheng, you know that I, Duanmu Yuwei, am not someone who lets go of grudges easily. The grudge between Sheng Hongye and I cannot be resolved overnight." Duanmu Yuwei's voice was low, but full of determination.

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, she knew that Duanmu Yuwei's bottom line had been touched.

"Miss Duanmu, I understand your concerns. But I believe that as long as you are willing, nothing is impossible. My Sheng family is willing to reconcile with the Duanmu family, and we also hope that you can resolve the misunderstanding with Sheng Hongye." Sheng Yunrong's voice was firm, she believed that her request was not hopeless.

Duanmu Yuwei looked at Sheng Yunrong. She knew this was an opportunity, an opportunity to resolve the feud between the two families. She smiled gently, and the firmness in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of softness.

"Miss Sheng, since you are so sincere, I, Duanmu Yuwei, am not an unreasonable person. I am willing to reconcile with the Sheng family, but please tell Sheng Hongye to come to me in person and we can resolve it face to face." Duanmu Yuwei's voice was gentle, but full of unquestionable majesty.

"Miss Duanmu, I will convey your intention to Sheng Hongye. Thank you for your magnanimity. I believe the grudge between the two families will be resolved soon." Sheng Yunrong's voice was gentle. She knew that her goal had been achieved.

Duanmu Yuwei smiled gently. She looked at Sheng Yunrong, secretly admiring her wisdom and courage.

Duanmu Yuwei was disdainful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled slightly and watched Sheng Yunrong slowly walk into the banquet hall of Duanmu Mansion. Sheng Yunrong was wearing a light pink silk dress, and her steps were light. The smile on her face was gentle and decent, as if she was born with elegance.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes swept around and finally landed on Duanmu Yuwei. She smiled slightly, walked up to Duanmu Yuwei, and said softly: "Sister Yuwei, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are even more beautiful."

Duanmu Yuwei smiled calmly and responded, "Sister Sheng, you are too kind. I can never compare to your beauty."

As the two talked, their eyes met. A hint of pride flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes, while Duanmu Yuwei observed her expression calmly.

Sheng Yunrong said, "Today, the Duanmu Mansion is hosting a banquet. If you have any preferences, I can help you prepare them."

Duanmu Yuwei shook her head gently and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I don't have any special preferences. I just want to spend a happy time with you."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me."
