Sheng Yunrong asked calmly, "Miss Duanmu, are you really willing to marry Master Tu Su?" Her words floated lightly into Duanmu Yuwei's ears, like a feather gently brushing across the lake, stirring up subtle ripples.
Duanmu Yuwei smiled slightly, and that smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful but short-lived. She gently moved the beads on her lapel and said lightly: "Miss Sheng, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. As the second daughter of the Duanmu Mansion, I naturally have to follow the arrangements of my family."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sharpness, and she frowned slightly, as if she was not satisfied with Duanmu Yuwei's answer. She leaned forward slightly, looked directly at Duanmu Yuwei, and spoke with a barely perceptible indifference: "Miss Duanmu, you also know that Master Tu Su has a bad reputation. He is ambitious and ruthless. Are you really willing to entrust your life to him?"
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes changed slightly, and she bit her lips gently, as if trying to suppress her emotions. Her fingers unconsciously clenched the beads, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Miss Sheng, I know that Master Tu Su has a bad reputation, but I believe that as long as I work hard to manage this marriage, he will change."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly. She gently patted Duanmu Yuwei's hand, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "Ms. Duanmu, you are really naive. Do you think marriage is a joke? Can you change a person's nature at will?"
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with hurt. She gently withdrew her hand and forced a smile: "Miss Sheng, I know you may not understand it very well, but I believe that as long as there is love in your heart, nothing is impossible to change."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Duanmu Yuwei, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She shook her head gently, with a hint of emotion in her tone: "Miss Duanmu, you may not know that the reason I asked you these questions is because I am worried about you. I am worried that your momentary impulse will make you pay a heavy price."
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with gratitude. She gently held Sheng Yunrong's hand, and said with a firm tone: "Miss Sheng, thank you for your concern for me. But I have decided that I will face this marriage in my own way."
The two sat quietly in the room, their eyes meeting each other, as if they were communicating something silently. The room was filled with a faint fragrance, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Sheng Yunrong sighed softly. No matter how she tried to persuade her, Duanmu Yuwei had made up her mind.
She could only pray silently, hoping that Duanmu Yuwei could find her own happiness in this marriage.
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Duanmu Yuwei's face froze slightly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly and said slowly: "Miss Sheng, what do you mean by this? My marriage with Master Tu Su is the order of my parents, and I will obey it."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with sharpness, she smiled slightly and said: "Miss Duanmu misunderstood, I just feel that you and Master Tu Su don't seem to be a good match."
Duanmu Yuwei's expression changed slightly. She frowned and said, "Miss Sheng, how can you force feelings? Although Master Tu Su and I have only known each other for a short time, I believe that as long as we are sincere to each other, we will be able to grow old together."
Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "So, Miss Duanmu, have you ever heard of Master Tu Su's past?"
Duanmu Yuwei's expression froze slightly. She knew that the past that Sheng Yunrong was referring to was a past relationship that Master Tu Su had. She took a deep breath and said, "Miss Sheng, the past is over. I believe Master Tu Su has let it go. Moreover, I don't think a person's past will affect his future with another person."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with admiration, and she nodded slightly: "Ms. Duanmu is indeed magnanimous. However, I still have one thing I want to ask you. Are you really willing to give up your own happiness to cater to the interests of the family?"
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes were instantly firm, she straightened her back and said, "Miss Sheng, as the second young lady of the Duanmu Mansion, I naturally have to put the interests of the family first. Moreover, I believe that my union with Master Tu Su will benefit both the Duanmu Mansion and the Sheng Mansion. As for my happiness, I believe that as long as I work hard, it will come."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Duanmu Yuwei, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Miss Duanmu, you are such a strong woman. Then I won't say anything more. I wish you and Master Tu Su a long and happy life together."
Duanmu Yuwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Miss Sheng. Miss Sheng, you seem to have some misunderstandings about Master Tu Su. Perhaps you should get to know him better. I believe you will find his merits."
Sheng Yunrong smiled softly and said, "Perhaps. However, Miss Duanmu, I have something else to ask of you. I once had a relationship with Master Tu Su, and I hope you can help me keep an eye on him and not let him make the same mistakes again."
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes changed slightly. She looked at Sheng Yunrong, was silent for a moment, and said, "Miss Sheng, I understand. I will do my best to protect Master Tu Su."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Duanmu. Then, we will meet again later."
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little heavy. Duanmu Yuwei looked at Sheng Yunrong with mixed feelings.
After Sheng Yunrong left, Duanmu Yuwei sat alone in the room, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She remembered her acquaintance with Master Tu Su and his tenderness and care.
…
Madam Duanmu nodded: "That makes sense. But, daughter, you didn't let anything slip about what happened that day, did you?"
Duanmu Yuwei bit her lip lightly, looked directly at her mother with her bright eyes, and said firmly: "Mother, don't worry, I will never reveal a single word. I didn't say a word about what happened that day."
Madam Duanmu nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She patted her daughter's shoulder gently and said softly, "Good child, you are becoming more and more sensible. However, this matter is very serious, and the reputation of our Duanmu Mansion cannot be damaged in any way."
As they were talking, the two had already walked into the hall of Duanmu Mansion. Duanmu Yuwei looked around the hall and saw all kinds of antiques placed in the hall, which looked antique. She suddenly remembered what happened that day and felt a little uneasy.
Mrs. Duanmu seemed to see through her daughter's thoughts and comforted her softly, "Yuwei, don't worry, as long as we act carefully, nothing will happen. By the way, what do you think about what happened that day?"
Duanmu Yuwei pondered for a moment, then said: "Mother, I feel that what happened that day was too strange, as if someone was secretly manipulating it. Although our Duanmu Mansion is famous in the martial arts world, we cannot take it lightly."
Madam Duanmu smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes: "Yes, you are very vigilant. So, how do you think we should deal with it?"
